Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Genesis 6:9–9:17
Noah builds the ark as God instructs. His family and the animals survive the flood, and afterwards God makes a covenant with living creatures, giving the rainbow as its sign.
Main takeaway: The rainbow in Noah’s story is a reminder of God’s covenant.
As you arrange the scene
Discuss the characters and setting before placing the cut-out pieces on the background.
Put building, entering the ark, the flood, dry land and the rainbow in order. Distinguish the animals being rescued from the promise made afterwards.
Younger learners can name the people and describe their positions. Older learners can explain the moment being represented and distinguish the passage from choices made in the illustration.
Questions to explore
- Why was the ark needed?
