Getting ready
Age & adult help
The outside shape and door-handle opening need more controlled cutting than a straight bookmark.
Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. An adult may need to cut the handle opening.
Time & preparation
One door hanger, including colouring and cutting. Teaching 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. 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 tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Exodus 7–12
Pharaoh repeatedly refuses to release the enslaved Israelites. A series of plagues exposes the struggle between Pharaoh’s power and God’s demand that the people go; the story leads into Passover and the Exodus.
Main takeaway: Pharaoh’s refusal to release the people brings suffering, while God acts to free them.
Before you hang it up
Read the words on the hanger and connect the design with the passage before choosing a place for it.
Track Pharaoh’s repeated refusal rather than treating the plagues as a list of exciting disasters. Read the final plague with adult guidance and connect it to the Exodus.
Younger learners can explain the pictured event in their own words. Older learners can choose one idea from the reading to remember when they see the hanger again.
Questions to explore
- What was Pharaoh being asked to do?
- How did his decisions affect others?
- What would a leader who listened have done differently?

How do I make the door hanger?
Colour the illustrated hanger, cut around its outline and prepare the handle opening. Use the finished sign to retell the pictured account before hanging it on a suitable door handle. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Exodus 7–12.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf: keep as a shared assembly guide. TheTenPlaguesofEgypt_Exodus7_12.pdf: print the page for each learner or group. 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 or printer-compatible light card, colouring pencils and scissors. An adult should help with the handle opening and tight curves. The hanger is a printable cut-out, not a supplied physical door sign.
What help might children need with this activity?
Suggested ages: 6–10 years. Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
