Who Am I? Simon-Peter (Matthew 16) | Craft 2

The passage rotates around a simple question and answer. Jesus asks his followers, and Simon-Peter answers. This sliding mechanism is a firm favourite, once you’ve figured out how to add the tabs it’s quick and suits groups that want to colour their own well.

To make this craft, you will need the 1-page template printout, scissors, and some paper glue.

Cut out all the pieces and colour them if needed.
The biggest piece goes over the instruction boxes, follow the black lines.

Fold the two tabs on the speech bubbles, so the ink is on the inside (valley folds)

Fold the long piece along every dotted line, keeping the ink on the outside (mountain folds)

Turn your long strip over and locate the middle section. We’ll add Simon-Peter’s words here. Add glue just to the triangle tab and make sure it goes parallel to the fold on the right.

Repeat with Jesus’ words piece. This gets attached to the final section without people on it.

Now we need to make the long strip into a tube. Fold Jesus’ words down and add glue to the other side of that section of the strip.

Attach the two ends together so you have an open tube / box.

Finally add glue to the characters of Jesus and Simon-Peter and stick in place.

Flatten the box to the left to see Jesus’ words pop up, flatten the box to the right to see Simon-Peter’s words appear.
