Create a Holy Spirit Rain Cloud

Just like rain falls and helps plants grow, God’s Spirit helps us grow like Jesus. God gives us wisdom and a knowledge of truth through His Spirit. When we feel scared, tired or alone, God is with us.

You’ll need:

White paper for clouds
Blue paper for raindrops
Yellow paper for lightning bolts
Scissors
Tape or glue
Pencil/marker/crayon

1. Make a Cloud

Draw and cut out a large cloud shape from white paper.
Write a message on it, such as “Holy Spirit Rain” or “God sends us His Spirit.” You can decorate it more if you want.

2. Make Raindrops

Draw and cut out five to 10 raindrop shapes from blue paper.
On each raindrop, write a fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, etc. — or how God’s Spirit helps you — The Holy Spirit helps me be brave.

3. Make Lightning

Draw and cut out two or three lightning bolts from yellow paper.
Write what God's Spirit instills in you on the lightning bolts: courage, strength, joy, etc.

4. Attach the Rain

Cut thin strips of blue paper at different lengths to connect raindrops to the cloud.
Tape or glue raindrops to one end of the paper strips — one drop per strip. The strip and adhesive should be on the back side of the raindrop. Do this until all drops have strips.
Tape or glue the other end of each strip to the back of the cloud.
Tape or glue your lighting bolts to the back of the cloud.

5. Hang the Cloud
