Getting ready
Age & adult help
The original catalogue requires an educator to review the story’s wording and illustrations before assigning a child age range.
Review the actual printable and passage before choosing it for your group.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. Glue or tape may be useful. An adult may need to cut camera slots.
Time & preparation
One camera and film strip, including colouring and assembly. Teaching time is additional.
Construction profile: 6–12 years. Story content prevents a confirmed child age recommendation without viewing the asset. 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: Genesis 18:16–19:29
Abraham pleads about justice as judgment approaches Sodom. Lot receives visitors and later leaves the city with his family before its destruction; the passage includes serious violence and loss.
Main takeaway: This difficult account needs attention to justice, protection and the harm people cause.
As you slide the story through
Slide the film strip slowly and pause at each frame to connect the picture with the reading.
An adult should select the passage and depth before using the activity. Discuss protecting vulnerable people without describing sexual violence to young learners.
An adult can read the captions for a younger child. Older learners can retell a frame without its caption, then check which details the Bible account supplies.
Questions to explore
- What questions about justice did Abraham ask?
- Who needed protection in the account?
- Why is this a story to read with careful adult guidance?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 3-page PDF: SodomandGomorrahDestroyed.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
Does the paper camera actually show a story?
Yes. Colour and cut out the camera body and illustrated film strip. Prepare the two marked camera slots, feed the strip through the lower slot from the back and out through the upper slot, then slide it to reveal the frames. It is a paper storytelling model, not a working photographic camera. Printed captions include “Abraham looks toward the two cities below” and “The angels tell Lot to leave the city”.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. SodomandGomorrahDestroyed.pdf: print pages 2, 3 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. Keep matching construction pages at the same scale.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Paper or printer-compatible light card, colouring pencils and scissors. An adult should cut the slots and help thread the strip so the pictures move without tearing.
What help might children need with this activity?
An educator should review the actual wording and illustrations before choosing this account for children. Abraham pleads about justice as judgment approaches Sodom. Lot receives visitors and later leaves the city with his family before its destruction; the passage includes serious violence and loss. Read the panels or captions yourself first and decide how to explain the difficult parts for your group.
