Choose one child to stand in the middle of the circle, and have remaining children sit in chairs. The child in the middle says, “A great wind blows for everyone who . . .” (completing the sentence with what could describe a child; e.g., has a dog). The seated children who have a dog must stand and find a new seat. The person in the middle must also find a seat. Whoever is unable to find a seat is the new person in the middle and calls a different description. Play continues as time allows. Remind children that at Pentecost a mighty wind from heaven filled the room.

Divide children into teams, and have them line up. Give each team a balloon. On “Go” the first child on each team blows the balloon down to the opposite side of the room (until it hits the wall) and blows it back to the next person in line. The first team to race all players wins. Remind children that at Pentecost a mighty wind from heaven filled the room.

Divide children into two teams, and have them line up opposite a cone. Give each team a ping-pong ball and each child a straw. On “Go” the first person on each team places the ping-pong ball on the floor and crawls forward, using only the straw to blow the ping-pong ball around his team’s cone and back. The next person in line then repeats the process. The first team to race all its players wins. Remind children that at Pentecost a mighty wind from heaven filled the room.
