Getting ready
Age & adult help
Reading questions, comparing answers and taking turns are the main demands once the cards are prepared.
An adult prepares the cards and can read questions and answer choices aloud for younger participants.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, scissors or an adult-operated paper trimmer. A laminator is optional for reuse.
Time & preparation
Preparation of one card set. Allow an additional 10–20 minutes for a short game or discussion.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. 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: 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.
While you use the cards
Read one question at a time and look back at the passage when an answer needs explaining.
Compare what the donkey sees with what Balaam initially sees. Discuss patient care for animals rather than recreating the blows.
Allow younger learners a partner or an oral answer. Older learners can explain the evidence for an answer rather than relying only on the answer guide.
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?
