Getting ready
Age & adult help
The outside shape and door-handle opening need more controlled cutting than a straight bookmark.
Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. An adult may need to cut the handle opening.
Time & preparation
One door hanger, including colouring and cutting. Teaching time is 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 27:57–61; John 19:38–42
After Jesus’ death, Joseph of Arimathea asks for his body and places it in a tomb. Others help with burial preparations, while women observe where he is laid.
Main takeaway: The burial account shows practical care and grief after Jesus’ death.
Before you hang it up
Read the words on the hanger and connect the design with the passage before choosing a place for it.
Follow the body being cared for, the tomb and the watching women. Read the resurrection as the next event rather than placing it before the burial.
Younger learners can explain the pictured event in their own words. Older learners can choose one idea from the reading to remember when they see the hanger again.
Questions to explore
- Who asked for Jesus’ body?
- How was care shown at the tomb?
- Why do remembering and saying goodbye matter to grieving people?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download contains 2 PDFs with 2 pages in total: Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf (1 page); TheBurialofJesus_Matthew27_John19.pdf (1 page). This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
How do I make the door hanger?
Colour the illustrated hanger, cut around its outline and prepare the handle opening. Use the finished sign to retell the pictured account before hanging it on a suitable door handle. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Matthew 27:57–61; John 19:38–42.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf: keep as a shared assembly guide. TheBurialofJesus_Matthew27_John19.pdf: print the page for each learner or group. 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 or printer-compatible light card, colouring pencils and scissors. An adult should help with the handle opening and tight curves. The hanger is a printable cut-out, not a supplied physical door sign.
What help might children need with this activity?
Suggested ages: 6–10 years. Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
