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 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.
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 tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: 2 Samuel 11

David uses his royal power to take Bathsheba and then arranges Uriah’s death to cover what he has done. The account ends by making clear that David’s actions are wrong.

Main takeaway: Power does not excuse abuse, deception or the harm done to others.

Before you hang it up

Read the words on the hanger and connect the design with the passage before choosing a place for it.

This passage needs adult-led selection and age-appropriate language. Keep responsibility with David rather than blaming Bathsheba for his choices.

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

  • How did David misuse his power?
  • Who was harmed by his cover-up?
  • Why must a powerful person still be held responsible?

Common questions

What files are included in this download?

The download contains 2 PDFs with 2 pages in total: Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf (1 page); DavidandBathsheba_2Samuel11.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 2 Samuel 11.

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. DavidandBathsheba_2Samuel11.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?

An educator should review the actual wording and illustrations before choosing this account for children. David uses his royal power to take Bathsheba and then arranges Uriah’s death to cover what he has done. The account ends by making clear that David’s actions are wrong. Read the panels or captions yourself first and decide how to explain the difficult parts for your group.
