Narrator #2: And each of those people heard the disciples talking in their own language!

Narrator #1: So the people were amazed.

Crowd: Whoa, dude.

Narrator #1: You could say that again.

Crowd: Whoa, dude.

Narrator #1: You could say that again.

Crowd: We already did.

Narrator #1: Oh.

Narrator #2: And some people thought maybe the believers were drunk. Narrator #1: But then Peter got up and quieted the crowd.

Peter: Listen! No one is drunk! God promised this!

Crowd: Oh.

Peter: The Bible talks about it!

Crowd: Aha!

Peter: Jesus did miracles!

Crowd: Ooh.

Peter: Then you killed him…

Crowd: Uh-oh…

Peter: …but God brought him back to life!

Crowd: Hurray!

Crowd: God rocks!

Peter: We all saw him with our own eyes.

Crowd: Seeing is believing!

Peter: Now God has sent his Spirit to us! That’s why everyone is talking in all these languag-es!

A version of tag in which you can get frozen by ice andthawed by fire.

• G A M E •

This is a tag game. There will be 3 students who have blue balls (which represent ice) and 2 students who will have

red balls (which represent fire). Everyone else is free and can run wherever they want. The ice people try to freeze

the free people by tagging them with their blue ball (no throwing the balls!!) When students get tagged by an ice

person he/she becomes frozen (standing still with both hands on head). The fire people (who can’t be tagged by the

ice people) try to then free all of their frozen teammates. They do this by handing the fireball to a frozen person.

They then take the ball and become a new fire person; the person who unfroze him or her becomes a “free person”.

The fireballs keep getting passed on and on, but the ice people stay ice people until you stop the game. Play for 2-3

min., then have the ice people give their balls to someone who hasn’t been an ice person.
