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 tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: John 21:15–19
After breakfast beside the lake, Jesus asks Peter three times about his love and gives him the responsibility to feed and tend his sheep. The exchange follows Peter’s earlier denials and looks towards renewed service.
Main takeaway: Peter’s restoration involves both relationship and renewed responsibility.
As you put the story in order
Read the story sections before attaching them, then use the finished sequence to explain what changes.
Connect the three questions with Peter’s earlier failure, while keeping the scenes separate in time. Discuss repair as a path towards responsible action.
Younger learners can choose what happens first and next. Older learners can explain why a turning point changes the story.
Questions to explore
- What question did Jesus repeat?
- What responsibility did he give Peter?
- How can restoring trust involve a new commitment to care?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 2-page PDF: PeterRestored_John21_.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: Jesus meets His disciples by the sea; They eat breakfast together; Jesus asks Peter, “Do you love me?”; Peter answers yes three times; Jesus says, “Feed my sheep.”.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. PeterRestored_John21_.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.
