Printing tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: Genesis 16; 21:8–21

Hagar experiences mistreatment and later faces danger in the wilderness with Ishmael. God hears and sees their distress, and Hagar finds water when their situation seems desperate.

Main takeaway: Hagar and Ishmael’s distress is not invisible or unimportant to God.

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.

An adult should choose between the two wilderness episodes represented. Keep attention on Hagar’s dignity and practical need rather than blaming her for the household’s conflict.

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

  • What did Hagar and Ishmael need in the wilderness?
  • What does the account say about being heard?
  • How can we notice a person pushed to the edge of a group?
