Printing tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: Genesis 37; 39–45

Joseph’s brothers sell him, and he is taken to Egypt. After hardship and imprisonment, Joseph helps prepare for a famine; when his brothers come for food, he eventually reveals who he is and provides for his family.

Main takeaway: Joseph’s story moves from jealousy and harm towards provision and reconciliation.

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.

Separate the coat and sale from the later meeting in Egypt. Ask what has changed in Joseph’s circumstances and in his brothers’ behaviour.

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

  • How did jealousy affect Joseph’s family?
  • Why did the brothers later travel to Egypt?
  • What actions begin to repair the family’s relationship?
