This Good Samaritan storytelling aid combines the fun of a lift the flap book with the ease of a simple craft even younger kids can make. The best way to use this craft is to make a version in advance so you can show the children how it works and how it tells the story. For our international friends there is a version with no text on it. |
As well as the printout,to make this craft you will need a pair of scissors and some sticky tape. You may also need colouring pens if you are printing without colour or in partial colour.

Add any colour then cut out the main square. |
Fold along the long horizontal dotted lines. One fold is a valley fold and the other a mountain fold – there are little symbols on the side of the paper to help you identify which one is which. |
Once folded use a small piece of tape to secure at the edges so it doesn’t come unfolded. |
Use a pair of scissors to cut along the four cut lines, to form 3 flaps that can be folded down later. |
The craft is now complete and you can begin to use it to tell the story. |
Fold back each flap to reveal the answer to the question – “did they stop and help the man?” |
Once the answer has been revealed follow the arrow onto the next flap, don’t continue reading down. |
After all the flaps are open read the underside of the flaps to complete the story. |
