| This John 1 logos activity is a simple alternative to a craft and can be a used as a logic puzzle. It ties into John 1 where Jesus is described as ‘The Word’ or as John would have written ‘Logos’. I’ve tried to keep the style or lettering that was similar to what may have originally been penned. |  |
This passage in John 1 lends itself to word games, hunts for letters, light and order. John was beginning but he was aware that he wasn’t starting the story, it was already alive. Choose the game or games that suit your group and setup best.
Beginning – Have you ever turned a doodle into a picture? Give each child a sheet of paper and pencil. Have them draw a circle. They then have 1 minute to turn it into a picture or something. Repeat with other shapes – triangle, square, zigzag, spiral, etc.

Find a word – grab a letter based game and put out the letters. Explain that the kids have to make a word using the letters that links to the word you give them. This can be against the clock or against another team. Words to give : sport, food, family, write, Jesus.

| This John 1 candle craft ties into John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” The craft jumps out of the page and is made entirely from a single sheet printout. |  |

Essential Teachers notes:
The introduction to Johns gospel can read a little abstract and symbolic for many. who is this ‘Word’ that John is referring to? What knowledge is he building on and why does he use this convoluted tone as an introduction to a book about a man who talked of sparrows, sheep and stone. This retelling looks at the reasons why John started the book with these now famous lines.
Tell this story or a similar one of your choice from a favourite bible translation or story book. This version is supplied for inspiration, feel free to omit or embellish to give it your personal voice.
