This task is about creating a simple craft or puppet show based on the Bible story of Samuel’s calling (1 Samuel 3). The image shows printable templates and instructions for making paper figures, beds, clouds, speech bubbles, and scenes to act out or display the story.
Since no specific question was asked — like “What should I do?” or “How do I assemble this?” — but you’re being helped with homework, we’ll assume your goal is to understand how to use these printables to tell the story of Samuel.
Let’s break it down step by step:
---
Step 1: Understand the Story
Samuel was a young boy who served God in the temple. One night, he heard a voice calling his name. He thought it was Eli, the priest, so he ran to him three times. On the fourth time, Eli realized it was God calling Samuel. Samuel answered, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3:9–10)

Step 2: Look at the Printables
You have several pieces:
- A bed template (with “Bed Portion” and “Blanket Portion”)
- A Samuel figure (stick-person style)
- Clouds, moon, stars, and a sunburst that says “Samuel de Deus te chama!” (“Samuel, God calls you!” in Portuguese)
- Two main figures labeled “FIGURA - A” and “FIGURA - B” showing Samuel sleeping and then waking up
- Speech bubbles with quotes from the Bible verse
- A scene with Eli in bed and Samuel standing nearby
- Instructions in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese)

Step 3: Assemble Your Craft
Here’s what you can do:
✔ Cut out all the shapes along the dotted lines.
✔ Fold where indicated (like the cloud has a “2x” mark — fold it in half).
✔ Glue or tape the blanket onto the bed portion.
✔ Place the Samuel figure on the bed for “sleeping” scenes.
✔ Use FIGURA-A and FIGURA-B to show before/after moments (sleeping → awake).
✔ Add the speech bubble: “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” near Samuel when he’s awake.
✔ Use the moon/stars/cloud to set the nighttime scene.
✔ For extra fun, make a little diorama using the large scene at bottom left — glue Eli in bed and Samuel standing beside him.

Step 4: Tell the Story
Use your crafted pieces to retell the story aloud or write captions under each part. You can even turn it into a flipbook or mini-comic!
Example sequence:
1. Nighttime scene with moon + stars + cloud
2. Samuel sleeping in bed (FIGURA-A)
3. Voice calls: “Samuel!” → add speech bubble
4. Samuel runs to Eli (use stick figure walking)
5. Repeat x3
6. Final scene: Samuel awake, saying “Speak, Lord...” (FIGURA-B + speech bubble)
7. Optional: Show God’s presence with the sunburst graphic

Final Answer:
Cut out, fold, and assemble the printed templates to create a visual storytelling kit of Samuel’s calling. Use the bed, Samuel figure, speech bubbles, and background elements to recreate key moments from 1 Samuel 3. Arrange them in order to tell the story clearly — starting with Samuel asleep, hearing God’s voice, running to Eli, and finally responding to God.
