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: Genesis 12:1–9
God calls Abram to leave his country and family home for a land he will be shown. Abram travels with Sarai, Lot and their household, receiving a promise that his family will become a blessing.
Main takeaway: Abram’s call begins a journey with a purpose beyond himself.
As you put the story in order
Read the story sections before attaching them, then use the finished sequence to explain what changes.
Follow leaving, travelling and arriving. Discuss the promise of blessing without assuming the craft shows the whole later story of Abraham’s family.
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 Abram asked to leave?
- What purpose was given to the journey?
- How could a family be a blessing to people beyond its own home?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 2-page PDF: TheCallofAbram_Genesis12_.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: God tells Abram to leave his home; “Go to a land I will show you.”; Abram trusts and obeys God; He travels with his family; God promises to bless him.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. TheCallofAbram_Genesis12_.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.
