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, colouring pencils or crayons. No cutting or gluing is assumed for a colouring sheet.
Time & preparation
Whole six-page colouring pack. Estimate 10–20 minutes per page; pages can be split across lessons.
Construction profile: 4–10 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 tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Judges 11:29–40
Jephthah makes a rash vow before battle. When his daughter comes out to greet him, the promise brings tragedy, exposing the terrible consequences of what he has said.
Main takeaway: A rash promise can cause harm; this passage is not an example to imitate.
While you colour
Choose one illustration and read the part of the passage it represents.
An adult should decide whether and how to teach this account. Discuss responsible speech and seeking help with a harmful promise, without reenacting the ending.
With younger learners, name the visible people and actions together. Older learners can compare the picture with the passage and distinguish the text from an illustrator’s added details.
Questions to explore
- What made Jephthah’s promise dangerous?
- Who was affected by it?
- What should someone do if a promise would hurt another person?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 6-page PDF: 27_JephthahsVow_Judges1129_40.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
Do I need to make a model?
These are six separate illustrated colouring sheets. Choose a scene to colour and discuss, or use the sheets over several sessions. They are flat pages, so no cutting or assembly is required. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Judges 11:29–40.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. 27_JephthahsVow_Judges1129_40.pdf: print the pages you want to use 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?
Ordinary printer paper and colouring pencils or crayons. Choose one sheet at a time rather than expecting children to finish all six in one sitting.
What help might children need with this activity?
An educator should review the actual wording and illustrations before choosing this account for children. Jephthah makes a rash vow before battle. When his daughter comes out to greet him, the promise brings tragedy, exposing the terrible consequences of what he has said. Read the panels or captions yourself first and decide how to explain the difficult parts for your group.
