Getting ready

Age & adult help

Reading questions, comparing answers and taking turns are the main demands once the cards are prepared.

An adult prepares the cards and can read questions and answer choices aloud for younger participants.

What you’ll need

Printer, paper or light card, scissors or an adult-operated paper trimmer. A laminator is optional for reuse.

Time & preparation

Preparation of one card set. Allow an additional 10–20 minutes for a short game or discussion.
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. An adult should adapt discussion of death, danger or distress to the group.

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: Judges 16

Delilah presses Samson to reveal the secret connected with his uncut hair. He is captured after his hair is cut; later he prays, and the story ends with the destruction of the Philistine temple and his own death.

Main takeaway: Samson’s strength does not remove his need for wisdom and faithfulness.

While you use the cards

Read one question at a time and look back at the passage when an answer needs explaining.

Notice the sequence of trust, betrayal, captivity and prayer. Do not present the violent ending as a model for solving disagreements.

Allow younger learners a partner or an oral answer. Older learners can explain the evidence for an answer rather than relying only on the answer guide.

Questions to explore

  • What did Delilah keep asking?
  • What happened after Samson was captured?
  • Why does being strong not make every choice wise?
