Wind and flame
Children's Activity
Object:
Teachers: The Holy Spirit came to the disciples on Pentecost
Sunday. The Bible states: "And suddenly from heaven there came a
sound like the rush of a violent wind ... divided tongues, as of
fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them."
Tell your students the story of Pentecost. Follow this with a project of constructing crowns of either wind or fire. Students may choose which they wish to make. These crowns may be created similar to crowns you would create for kings and queens to wear. When finished, wrap the paper crown around the student's head and tape it in the back to fit.
For the crown of wind, use either gray or blue construction paper. Encourage the student to color a face blowing wind on the crown.
For the crown of fire, use red or yellow construction paper. Encourage the student to color a tongue of fire on the crown. If there is room on the crowns, help the students write "Pentecost Sunday" on them.
Parents: Your child celebrated Pentecost Sunday. She created a crown of either wind or flame theme. Suggest that the crown be used as a table setting for one meal during the week. During the meal, ask your child to explain why she chose her theme.
