Pentecost is almost here! This is the project I am putting together for my 2nd grade catechism class to do this coming Sunday. Last year we made wind chimes so that every time we heard them blowing in the wind we would remember God. They colored a flame for the "fiery tongue" and a dove for the Holy Spirit. They pasted these onto a cross made of red, yellow, or orange foam.
This year, I decided to do the same project, but with some modifications. Instead of using chimes, I bought bells. I used the same foam crosses as I did last year. I attached the bells to a string and strung the string with 12 red beads to represent the 12 apostles and the 12 fruits of the Holy Spirit. Instead of having the kids color, cut, and paste (this took way too long last year), I made stickers. I made flames with the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit and a sticker of a dove for the Holy Spirit. I think this change will make the project go a lot quicker this year.
The top two photos are the front and back of the wind chime we will be making this year. The bottom two photos are of the wind chimes we made last year.
Since I am new at this blogging thing, I do not know how to post my templates. I would be happy to e-mail them to you if you would like them though.
I have a few more things I am working on for Pentecost that I will post later.
