Getting ready

Age & adult help

Following several illustrated panels and reading speech or story text adds a literacy demand to the colouring.

Read panels aloud and help children follow their order. Check the story and wording before using it with younger children.

What you’ll need

Printer, paper, colouring pencils or crayons. An adult reader may be helpful for younger children.

Time & preparation

One comic page, including colouring. Shared reading and discussion are additional.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.

Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.

Printing tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: Acts 2:1–41

Jesus’ followers gather in Jerusalem when the Holy Spirit comes with a sound like wind and signs like tongues of fire. People from many places hear God’s works in their own languages, and Peter explains the good news.

Main takeaway: The Spirit equips Jesus’ followers to share good news across language barriers.

While you colour the panels

Read the panels in order, pausing at a change in a character’s action or understanding.

Connect wind, flame-like signs and different languages with the people hearing the message. Use the pictures as symbols, not instructions for a real-fire activity.

Younger learners can describe an action in one panel. Older learners can compare a caption with its Bible passage and discuss what a short comic leaves out.

Questions to explore

  • What did the gathered people hear?
  • Why were the different languages important?
  • How can we help someone feel included in a conversation?

Common questions

What files are included in this download?

The download is a 1-page PDF: PentecostHolySpiritDescends.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.

Is this a comic to read or a colouring sheet?

It combines both on one page: outlined comic panels with story captions. Read the panels in sequence, then colour and talk about the illustrated moments. It is a flat printable, with no paper mechanism to assemble. Printed captions include “The disciples gather together in one place for Pentecost” and “The Holy Spirit empowers the disciples to speak in different languages”.

Which pages should I print, and at what size?

The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. PentecostHolySpiritDescends.pdf: print the page for each learner or group. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.

What supplies and preparation does this need?

Printer paper and colouring pencils or crayons. An adult can read the captions and help children follow the order of the panels.

What help might children need with this activity?

Suggested ages: 7–12 years. Read panels aloud and help children follow their order. Check the story and wording before using it with younger children. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
