Sermon Title: "A Birthday Celebration" Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-21 |
CAKE DECORATING - Provide small round or square FOAM pieces from a craft store to be decorated like a cake by the children. They could use frosting, paint, stickers, candles or other decorations. The children can take the "cake" home as a reminder of today's lesson. A little "toothpick SIGN" could be stuck in the cake with PENTECOST - Birthday of the Church. GIFT HUNT - Children will look for small, inexpensive gifts that the teacher has hidden or hung on strings around the room prior to class time (examples: a stick of gum, a piece of candy, a pencil, a small ball, etc). Discuss the gifts that the Holy Spirit has given to us. BALLOON GIFTS of the Holy Spirit: In each balloon that the children pop, there will be a tootsie roll, etc with a gift from the Holy Spirit wrapped and taped on the candy for the children to unwrap and share with the class. Discuss each gift of the Holy Spirit and how it applies to our lives. PAPER PLATE CELEBRATION - Give each child a paper plate which they will cut into the edges of the plate about 2 inches and about 3 inches apart for each slit. HOLY SPIRIT will be written in the middle of the plate and then write a GIFT of the Holy Spirit on each of the sections that were cut apart. A stick or a dowel could be taped to the back of the plate to give the plate a windmill appearance. The plate could be decorated with colors or stickers to represent a CELEBRATION for the birthday of the church! PENTECOST POSTER - The teacher will draw a large outline of a CHURCH BUILDING. The children will fill in with words from the story -- PENTECOST, starting of the church; Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Bible verse, etc. BIRTHDAY BALLOONS - Have the children write words from today's lesson on their balloons and then blow the balloons up to make a large balloon bouquet for the classroom. When a child answers a question today from the lesson throughout the classroom time, a child can pick out a balloon and have the FUN of popping the balloon or keeping it and return to their seat. PARTY PLATES - Give the children paper plates to decorate with stickers, to eat their snack treat on today. Song: "Spirit of the Living God" by Daniel Iverson Words and music (pdf) |
