Teaching the Story in Sunday School
When teaching this Old Testament narrative, these coloring sheets help children visualize Joseph's unwavering integrity. You can start the lesson with his arrival in ancient Egypt after being sold into slavery by his older brothers. The pages showing him as a trusted overseer in the household demonstrate how he earned his master's trust through hard work, honesty, and divine favor. Children can color the ancient artifacts like the reed pen, scroll, and signet ring to understand the daily life of a high-ranking servant.
Discussing Temptation and Integrity
The dramatic scene of Joseph fleeing provides a clear visual aid for discussing how to handle difficult situations. While coloring the detailed Egyptian palace backgrounds, parents and Sunday school teachers can explain why Joseph chose to run away and leave his outer garment behind rather than sin against God. This part of the biblical account emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing, even when it immediately leads to unfair and harsh consequences.
From the Palace to the Prison
After the false accusation by Potiphar's wife, Joseph's living situation changes drastically. The final illustrations show him bound by guards and placed in a dark royal dungeon. Yet, even in the prison cell, he remains faithful and soon gains the trust of the chief jailer. You can use these coloring sheets to transition smoothly into the next chapter of the story, where Joseph interprets a prophetic dream for the Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, eventually leading to his release.
