Coloring order

Color Joshua's brown robe and the blue cloth over his shoulder first, then the tall staff in his hand in a wood tone.
Make the white robes of the people blowing horns on the right and the blue banner on the left really stand out.
Alternate two sandstone shades for the long wall, towers and gate like bricks, and leave the palm trees for last.

Questions to talk about

What job do the banner and the horns do in this march?
What are the people waiting for in front of the big wall?
Have you ever walked in step with a group, or done something all together?

Take it further

In Joshua 6 the people walk around the city of Jericho. March in a line to a drum beat in a hallway or yard, and freeze when the signal comes.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
