Looking for ideas to keep the kids busy and entertained this Pentecost? Here are some ideas and links to help you

As you may know, it’s Pentecost Sunday coming up, so I’ve pulled together a few resources that you can share with the J Team kids in your household if it’s of interest.

If you’re anything like me, life hasn’t got much slower since lockdown, so these are just some suggestions if you or they have the time over the next few days.

There are a couple of links to short youtube animations, and a link to some craft ideas.

The Pentecost Story – ANIMATIONS

This one is great for all ages – really simple and interesting.

The God’s Story channel had a whole series of short Bible story animations – great for using in the coming weeks.

God’s Story: Peter Preaches

This one is good but involves some reading.

CRAFTS

This link has a range of Pentecost craft activities, many that don’t need too many resources!

Overall the internet is a great resource for all sorts of material and ideas – from crafts, Bible stories, videos. It’s worth exploring if you have time!

Share what they’ve done!

If the kids in your household get creative – we’d love to see what they produce! Take a picture, do a short video, and we can share it as part of our morning service broadcast.
