Pentecost
To describe the events of
Pentecost. (L3)
To explain how the gifts of
the Holy Spirit would make a
difference to them(L4)
To reflect on whether
“speaking in tongues”
nowadays is the same thing
(L5)
Put the story of Pentecost in order. Watch the video to check.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole
house where they were sitting.
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit
enabled them.
When they heard this sound, a crowd came together, because each one heard their own
language being spoken.
Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that
each of us hears them in our native language?
Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
Then Peter came out of the house with the Eleven, and addressed the crowd: “Fellow
Jews; These people are not drunk - it’s only nine in the morning!
No, this is what has happened: God has raised Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of
it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit
and has poured it out. What you now see and hear is the outpouring of this Spirit!
Look up Acts 2.
Using the Bible and the key words below, summarise the story. Then draw a
picture to show what happened. Remember the tongues of fire!”

Speaking in
tongues!
• The Apostles were able to
speak in words that other
people could understand.
• Some Christians “speak in tongues”
but what they say has no meaning
in any known language.
– They say that it is a “heavenly language”,
to them to praise God in a special way that
only He can understand.
Do you think this
kind of “speaking in
tongues” is the
same gift as the
Apostles received?
Do you think it is a
genuine “gift of the
Spirit” ?
Effects
• Read the text in each shape. Identify
from it how the apostles were changed.
Write it up in your books as a list.
• Which of the effects of the Holy Spirit
do you think were the most important
for the growth of the Church? Choose
two and explain.
• Which of the effects would you like to
have? Why?
**Think back to when you learnt about receiving the 7 gifts of
the Holy Spirit at Confirmation. How do you think receiving the
Holy Spirit changed the Apostles
?
