The Journeys of Paul spinner matched the description and definitely met my expectations. The children in my class enjoyed coloring it. It went together easily and was easy to turn the wheel so the children could read the story and see the pictures. It was just the craft we needed for our Bible story.
Assembly video coming soon.
We’ll add a step-by-step demonstration here.

Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Acts 13–21
Paul’s journeys take him and his companions through different towns and regions, where they teach and help establish communities. The accounts include returning to encourage believers as well as travelling somewhere new.
Main takeaway: Paul’s journeys are about people and encouragement, not only distances on a map.
As you turn the wheel
Turn slowly and use each revealed section as a pause in the retelling.
Trace the locations actually named and note a person or community at each. Keep the order of journeys separate from a single storm or arrest scene.
Younger learners can predict the next pictured event. Older learners can explain a character’s decision at the point where it appears.
Questions to explore
- Why did Paul revisit some places?
- Who travelled with him?
- How can keeping in touch strengthen a community?
