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

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.
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 10:1–18
Jesus describes himself as the good shepherd who knows his sheep and lays down his life for them. The image contrasts his care with a hired worker who abandons the flock when danger comes.
Main takeaway: Jesus describes his care through knowing, guiding and protecting the flock.
While you use the cards
Read one question at a time and look back at the passage when an answer needs explaining.
Connect the shepherd and sheep with knowing and listening. Keep this teaching distinct from the lost-sheep parable’s search for one missing animal.
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
- How does the good shepherd know his sheep?
- What happens when the hired worker sees danger?
- What makes care dependable rather than convenient?
