Getting ready
Age & adult help
The original catalogue requires an educator to review the story’s wording and illustrations before assigning a child age range.
Review the actual printable and passage before choosing it for your group.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. Glue or tape may be useful if separate sections need joining.
Time & preparation
One sequencing craft, including colouring and folding. Discussion time is additional.
Construction profile: 5–10 years. Story content prevents a confirmed child age recommendation without viewing the asset. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Acts 5:1–11
Ananias and Sapphira present part of a sale’s proceeds while pretending it is the whole amount. Peter makes clear that giving was voluntary but their claim was false; the account ends with severe judgment.
Main takeaway: The issue is dishonesty, not a rule that everyone must give all their money.
As you put the story in order
Read the story sections before attaching them, then use the finished sequence to explain what changes.
An adult should assess the account’s suitability and explain voluntary giving. Do not use the deaths to threaten children about mistakes or donations.
Younger learners can choose what happens first and next. Older learners can explain why a turning point changes the story.
Questions to explore
- What false claim did the couple make?
- What did Peter say about keeping the money?
- Why does honest giving matter more than appearing generous?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 2-page PDF: AnaniasandSapphira_Acts5_.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
How do I fold the five story panels?
Colour the numbered story sheet. Fold upwards on the dotted line with the pictures outside, fold the left and right sides towards the centre, then fold the cover and panel 5 as shown in the illustrated guide. This is a folded picture book, rather than five separate PDF pages. The pictured scenes include: Ananias and Sapphira bring money to the church; They pretend to give all but keep some back; Peter asks, “Why lie to God?”; God reveals the truth; The church learns to be honest.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. AnaniasandSapphira_Acts5_.pdf: print page 2 for each learner or group. Page 1 is the assembly guide, which can be shared. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Paper and colouring pencils. An adult can demonstrate the centre folds and read the five panels aloud. The supplied method uses folding rather than glued-on picture strips.
What help might children need with this activity?
The main demands are following five pictured events and making the centre folds. Demonstrate the folding and read the captions aloud for children who need help. Younger children can colour and retell using a book an adult has folded.
