Teaching the Story of Jericho
When teaching the story from the Book of Joshua, visual aids help children understand the sequence of events. The scenes of Joshua leading the Israelites show the preparation and faith required before the march began. You can use these sheets to explain how the Israelites marched around the fortified city of Jericho once a day for six days, and seven times on the seventh day. This repetition is a helpful way to talk about patience and following instructions.
Key Elements in the Pictures
Our collection includes the specific details mentioned in the biblical account. Kids can color the Ark of the Covenant, which represented God's presence among the people during their journey. The pages also feature the priests blowing the shofar, a traditional instrument made from a ram's horn used to signal the people. Highlighting these items helps ground the story in its historical context.
- Marching soldiers and the procession around the city walls.
- Priests carrying the sacred ark and blowing the shofars.
- The dramatic collapse of the heavy stone blocks as the walls fall down.
Coloring Tips for the Classroom
For a classroom setting, provide crayons or colored pencils in earthy tones like brown, gray, and tan for the city walls and desert landscape. Bright yellows and golds work well for the Ark of the Covenant and the priests' garments. If you are a Sunday school teacher, you might have students write their favorite Bible verse on the back of their finished artwork. These pages pair well with lessons on faith and obedience, much like activities focused on the Fruit of the Spirit.
