The Bible connection · Acts 2:1–12
The Spirit came. The good news travelled.
Jesus’ followers were together when they heard a sound like a strong wind. They saw what looked like flames resting on each person. Filled with the Holy Spirit, they spoke in other languages, and visitors heard about God’s mighty works.
Wonder togetherHow could you make someone who speaks a different language feel welcome?

Off-screen making
Make a wind-and-colour paper streamer
You’ll needA strip of card, coloured paper strips, crayons, glue and a short paper handle.
Keep the distinction clear between symbols and the Holy Spirit: wind and flame shapes help us talk about Acts 2, but God’s Spirit is not an object we make. Use paper rather than real flames.
Decorate a wide card strip with warm colours and a reference to Acts 2.
Glue thin paper streamers along the lower edge, then join the card strip into a ring.
Add a paper handle and gently move the streamer. Talk about the sound like wind in the story.
For the grown-ups
A little help with Pentecost.
Acts 2 describes wind, fire-like tongues and languages. A dove is another Christian symbol of the Holy Spirit, connected with Jesus’ baptism; Acts 2 does not describe a dove arriving at Pentecost.
What are good Pentecost crafts for Sunday school?
Paper crowns, fold-out story crafts, streamers and prayer hands all give children a way into Acts 2. Choose one clear Bible detail and let the craft support the telling.
Why do Pentecost crafts use flames?
Acts 2 describes what looked like tongues of fire resting on Jesus’ followers. Paper flames are a visual reminder of that part of the account; use paper or battery lights for children’s activities.
Are Fruit of the Spirit crafts the same as Pentecost crafts?
They are related themes but different Bible passages. Pentecost is told in Acts 2; the fruit of the Spirit is described in Galatians 5:22–23. Use the page’s Pentecost collection for the Acts story.
