Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Numbers 22:21–35
Balaam rides towards Moab while his donkey repeatedly turns aside from an angel he cannot see. After Balaam strikes her, the donkey speaks; his eyes are opened, and he is confronted about his actions.
Main takeaway: Balaam must recognise both his limited understanding and his mistreatment of the donkey.
As you work through the activities
Use the picture and written tasks as starting points for discussion, rather than making speed or a completed puzzle the goal.
Compare what the donkey sees with what Balaam initially sees. Discuss patient care for animals rather than recreating the blows.
Choose a manageable task and read its instructions aloud where needed. Older learners can explain how a completed answer connects with the passage.
Questions to explore
- Why did the donkey stop?
- What had Balaam failed to notice?
- How should we respond when an animal seems frightened or unwilling?
