Getting ready

Age & adult help

Children need to follow the pictured events and make the folds used to retell them.

Prepare awkward cuts, demonstrate the folds and read captions aloud. Use the pictures for shared retelling.

What you’ll need

Printer, paper, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. Glue or tape may be useful if separate sections need joining.

Time & preparation

One sequencing craft, including colouring and folding. Discussion time is additional.
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 tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: Luke 22:54–62

Peter follows after Jesus’ arrest but denies knowing him three times. When the rooster crows, Peter remembers Jesus’ warning and weeps.

Main takeaway: Peter’s failure shows the cost of fear and the need for honesty and restoration.

As you put the story in order

Read the story sections before attaching them, then use the finished sequence to explain what changes.

Follow the three denials and the rooster’s crow. If discussing Peter’s later restoration, turn separately to John 21 rather than placing it in the courtyard scene.

Younger learners can choose what happens first and next. Older learners can explain why a turning point changes the story.

Questions to explore

  • What was Peter afraid to admit?
  • What did the rooster remind him of?
  • What helps someone admit a mistake and seek to put it right?

Common questions

What files are included in this download?

The download is a 2-page PDF: PeterDeniesJesus_Luke22_.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.

How do I fold the five story panels?

Colour the numbered story sheet. Fold upwards on the dotted line with the pictures outside, fold the left and right sides towards the centre, then fold the cover and panel 5 as shown in the illustrated guide. This is a folded picture book, rather than five separate PDF pages. The pictured scenes include: Peter follows while Jesus is arrested; People ask, “Do you know Him?”; Peter says no three times; The rooster crows, and Peter remembers; Peter weeps, but Jesus forgives.

Which pages should I print, and at what size?

The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. PeterDeniesJesus_Luke22_.pdf: print page 2 for each learner or group. Page 1 is the assembly guide, which can be shared. 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?

Paper and colouring pencils. An adult can demonstrate the centre folds and read the five panels aloud. The supplied method uses folding rather than glued-on picture strips.

What help might children need with this activity?

The main demands are following five pictured events and making the centre folds. Demonstrate the folding and read the captions aloud for children who need help. Younger children can colour and retell using a book an adult has folded.
