More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Wednesday, I shared the Pentecost story with my third graders. The excitement in the room was palpable when we discussed how the apostles received the Holy Spirit. They were particularly fascinated by the part where 'They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire.' (Acts 2:3). These coloring pages depict the apostles receiving the Spirit and speaking in tongues, which makes it easier for kids to visualize the event. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder; the kids love coloring the flames and the apostles together. Each of the six pages offers unique scenes from the story, making it perfect for group activities or individual projects. I often use these pages during our lesson to keep the kids engaged and reinforce the lesson. My students enjoy using bright crayons to bring the fire to life. If you're planning a lesson on Pentecost, this free printable will be a great addition to your class materials.
