Here is a nice song to sing today: Wind and Fire (to the tune of Frere Jacque)
Tongues of fire; tongues of fire;
Mighty wind; mighty wind:
The Holy Ghost is coming; the Holy Ghost is coming;
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
3) Prayer... thank the Holy Spirit for living in our hearts
4) Theme: Remind the children of the theme of the unit: God sends his greatest gift, Jesus Christ our Saviour. John 1:14 “we beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father”
Tell them that they are going to hear a Bible Story again today that shows the glory of God through the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.

7) Crafts:
- Flame Headbands… use a large poster board to cut strips to make head bands. Measure for each child’s head and staple closed. Cut out red/orange or yellow flames to glue to the front of the headbands.
- Dove… the dove often symbolizes the Holy Spirit. Before the class, cut out wing, tails and heads for each child. Have the children color the beak and glue the pieces onto a toilet paper roll to make a dove. If your rolls are not white, you can have the children glue on a square of white paper first or you can paint the rolls white at home before the lesson.
