Holy Spirit Windsock

Activity Objective:

To help the children create a visual image of the Holy Spirit

Lesson Outcome:

The children will recognize symbols used for the Holy Spirit.

Materials

Directions:

Direct the children to brainstorm symbols of the Holy Spirit. (dove, flames, and wind)
Ask the children to draw one of the symbols on a white sheet of paper.
Cut out the symbol and tape it to the center of the red construction paper.
Turn over the red paper and tape the yellow ribbon onto the edges of the red paper so that the ribbon sticks out from the red paper.
Fold the red sheet into a cylinder shape with the symbol on the outside and the yellow ribbon on the inside. Staple the cylinder shape on the overlap of the red paper to create a windsock.
Punch two holes near one end of the windsock and then tie the yarn ends through the holes so the windsock has a hanger.

Learning Styles:

Art/Space Smart

Approximate Time:

15 minutes

Hints:

Doves can be copied onto the white paper in advance to help the activity go faster.

Sensitivities:

Help the children staple their cylinders shut—it may take four hands to keep the paper together and staple it.
