How to make your Good Friday scroll

1. Write the message

In the centre of your paper, write:
It Is Finished John 19:30

Adults can help younger children with writing if needed.

2. Decorate your scroll

Let children decorate around the words using crayons or markers. They can draw small lines, hearts, crosses, or simple patterns. There is no right or wrong way—each scroll can be unique.

3. Roll the paper

Gently roll the paper from one side. You can also roll both sides inward to create a scroll effect.

4. Tie the scroll

Use string or yarn to tie the scroll closed. For older children, an adult can help add a small wax seal using a candle for an extra traditional touch.

Talking together about the meaning

Once the scroll is finished, take a moment to talk about the message.

John 19:30 reminds us that Jesus finished His work. This can be explained to children in a simple way: He showed love and care for others, and this message is remembered on Good Friday.
