Presentation of the lesson

Form groups and conduct a competition of Prayer songs. Two points may be given to each song. Do not give any instruction regarding the type of songs. The group that sings a song on the Holy Spirit may be given an additional point to show its importance. After discussing how we are guided by the Holy Spirit in every moment of our life, we may begin with the lesson on Pentecost. Other activities:

Locate the Churches:

In the map of Kerala let the students mark the seven churches established by St. Thomas. Also ask them to find out in which districts those churches are.

Receive the tongues of fire:

Using paper cuttings and drawings make as many tongues of fire as there are students in the class. Write down one fruit and one gift of the Holy Spirit on each of the tongues. Give one tongue to each of the students prayerfully. The students receive them devoutly and read out what they have received.
