Getting ready
Age & adult help
A cube net needs several folds, tab alignment and controlled gluing.
Help crease the net and hold tabs while they stick. An adult can construct the cube after younger children colour it.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors, glue or tape. A ruler can help with folds.
Time & preparation
One cube, including colouring and assembly. Games and discussion are additional.
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: Matthew 5:1–12
Jesus speaks blessings over people who are poor in spirit, grieving, meek, merciful, pure in heart and hungry for righteousness. His words also honour peacemakers and those facing persecution.
Main takeaway: Jesus’ blessings challenge the idea that importance belongs only to the powerful.
When you turn the cube
Choose one face of the cube and read its words or discuss its picture before turning to another.
Choose one blessing and explore its meaning with an everyday example. Distinguish peacemaking from keeping quiet about harm.
Younger learners can respond to one face with help. Older learners can connect two faces with the relevant passage and explain whether they are events, themes or prayer prompts.
Questions to explore
- Who does Jesus call blessed?
- What might mercy look like at school or home?
- How can a peacemaker seek help when someone is being hurt?
