Craft Ideas: from Babel to Pentecost Genesis 11:1-9; Acts 2:1-21 Learning Activities for Kids

Pentecost is a great opportunity to celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, His “windy” power, and the wonder of languages! One special detail of this story is a reversal of an Old Testament event. Languages were confused and people scattered at the Tower of Babel, but during Pentecost, people came together and unfamiliar languages were made known! These crafts highlight both occasions. A “reversible tower” recounts the Babel story and importance of putting Jesus first (and doubles as a collection bank). A spirited “come together windsock” reminds us that we can be united as a church body when we put the Spirit’s power in the center of our efforts. https://sundayschool.works/wp-content... https://sundayschool.works/crafts/bib... https://10bibleverses.com/scripture-q...
