Today's lesson for my logos class is John 15 where Jesus teaches that he is the vine. I have an idea for getting this across to them and will let you know how it goes.
Update: I think it went very well! I sketched a tree with roots and five main branches and then 3 smaller branches from each of the five. I had the kids list 5 things that are very important to them on the main branches and then 3 reasons why that is important to them. I then had them label the trunk as Jesus and the roots as the Bible. Then we read John 15:1-17. Then we discussed our trees. Each child told us one thing that was on their tree. I told several things that were on mine. We talked about how there might be times that we would need to prune some of our branches and why. I loved this lesson! It was very humbling for me to see my tree and realize that I have a lot of pruning to do on my tree. I know that the Lord has been pruning already and I can see that there is much more to be done. Bearing good fruit is the goal!
