Word Jumble

Here’s a word game for children based on John 14:1-12:

“Word Jumble”

Materials:

• Marker or pen
• Paper
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Write words related to John 14:1-12 on different pieces of paper (way, truth, life, Father, believe, house, heaven, Jesus, comforter, works, disciples, greater).
2. Cut out each word and shuffle them around.
3. Ask the children to unjumble the words and form them into the correct phrases.
4. To make it more challenging, you can time the children or turn it into a race.
5. Once they unjumble all the words, have them read out the complete verses where these words occur.

Example:

• AKEWBLIPV –> Believe in Jesus
• HFARTERATOSIRM –> Father’s house has many rooms

• Pen

Instructions:

1. Print or draw the maze of a house on a piece of paper.
2. Cut strips of paper – one for “I am the Way,” one for “the Truth,” and one for “and the Life,” and color them in different colors.
3. Give these strips to the children along with colored paper sheets and a glue stick.
4. Let them choose a color to place on the maze puzzle and glue them on the corresponding door.
5. Write John 14:6 at the end of the maze, as a visual reminder for children.
6. Explain to the children that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that He opens the door to heaven through faith and belief.
