Centurions Faith (Luke 7) | Craft 3

When it comes to the story of the Centurion’s Faith, the phrases – ‘One shall tell another’, ‘relaying messages’, and ‘domino effect’ were high on my list of ideas to ponder. The effects of all those little messages meant that though the centurion didn’t meet Jesus face to face, his plea was heard and met. I couldn’t resist, therefore making some dominoes using the characters.

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

There is a 2-page printout if you want to make the full boxes, and a single page printout if you would like to wrap matchboxes or make the simplified tubes. Both work as dominoes.

For Full Boxes : More sturdy dominoes, but slower to make.

Cut out the box shapes.

Fold every fold, so the ink is on the outside. (Mountain folds)

Add glue to the tabs and construct.

For Tube Boxes : for quicker construction, easier cutting or using as wraps around matchboxes

Cut out and fold.

Add glue to the smallest section at the end and secure in a tube, alternatively glue around an existing box.

For BOTH:

Line up a domino run with the Centurion at one end, talk about possible orders. Encourage kids to team up to make the longest run possible.
