As always, there is no replacement for getting the older kids to read the Damascus road biblical text. This worksheet is more of a discussion sheet, but you can get the kids to fill in the top labels and picture boxes.
It is designed for an A4 sheet, but could be used as A5 if you wish to print 2 on a page if you are short on resources.

I have made this card for Saul not Paul. Paul is a separate card.
Salt dough | Characters
| This example uses the colouring image as a base for a three dimensional picture. The simple idea is that you use the salt dough to create small shapes that eventually fill out the body of the hero. A little food colouring will make the final effect much more dramatic. If the youngsters leave their creation to dry undisturbed it will harden to be a character to keep. |

Jigsaw | Characters
| This example uses the hero image to make a simple jigsaw. you can do this with any image but here I used the original graphic for John the baptist. 3 ways to use this could be : Hiding the pieces round the room and then collecting them as a game, Rewarding pieces for correct answers to comprehension questions, or Making multiple sets and have them reassemble them as a craft. |

How to : Heroes Series
The series is designed to be used with any age group, though it’s picture style will suit children more than youth. Each is put here as part of a lesson and so will have teachers story notes, craft, colouring page, high quality image, and games.
For the teacher, the card holds all the information you need. Make sure you read it before the lesson starts. You need to find out:
(a) Where is the story in the bible? (always check if there is another account as it may use elements of both)
(b) What characteristic did the character display?
(c) Is there an element (small picture at the bottom of the card) that ties this character to a physical thing?
Simply put you need to read the bible passage(s) yourself and tell the children the story, making sure you refer to both the characteristic and the element. You can use the text on the card and in the bible as a starting point.
You will find that you have a supporting high resolution image and colouring page to go with each character. You may also find you have craft pages, worksheets, teachers notes and other things too…
Find your desired character on the Heroes page or for the rest of the lesson resources on the full lessons page.
