Getting ready
Age & adult help
Reading questions, comparing answers and taking turns are the main demands once the cards are prepared.
An adult prepares the cards and can read questions and answer choices aloud for younger participants.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, scissors or an adult-operated paper trimmer. A laminator is optional for reuse.
Time & preparation
Preparation of one card set. Allow an additional 10–20 minutes for a short game or discussion.
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: Jonah 1–3
Jonah sails away instead of going to Nineveh. After a storm, he is swallowed by a great fish and prays; when he is released, he goes to Nineveh, where the people respond to God’s warning.
Main takeaway: Jonah is given another opportunity to listen and respond.
While you use the cards
Read one question at a time and look back at the passage when an answer needs explaining.
Follow the journey from ship to sea, fish and city. Leave room to discuss the people of Nineveh, rather than ending the lesson with the fish.
Allow younger learners a partner or an oral answer. Older learners can explain the evidence for an answer rather than relying only on the answer guide.
Questions to explore
- Where was Jonah meant to go?
- What did he do inside the fish?
- What changed when he finally went to Nineveh?
