What the child does
Write 1-4 in the circles. Cut and retell in order.
What it teaches
Order four illustrated events from prayer before Pentecost to the people's response to Peter.
Teacher notes
Tell the account before giving out the cards. State that Acts 2:4 says they spoke with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. The small flame-like shapes illustrate the appearance described in Acts 2:3; flames are not a required ongoing evidence of Holy Ghost baptism. The small illustrated group does not assert the number present. The illustration represents immersion in progress; teach that the whole person is immersed. Never pressure a young child to imitate tongues. Explain that baptism is immersion, as represented in the revised illustration. Acts 2:41 does not specify this illustrated water location, clothing or minister. Children write an order number on each card before cutting. The finished circles record the sequence.
Answer
Correct order: believers prayed (Acts 1:14); filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke with other tongues (2:4); Peter preached (2:14); people who received the word were baptized (2:41). The printed mixed order is 3, 1, 4, 2.

The Great Commission
Matthew 28:16-20; Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:1-11 Children learn that Jesus said I am with you alway. Matthew 28:19 is printed exactly as it stands, and the teacher guide reads it together with Luke 24:47 and the baptisms recorded in Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48 and 19:5, which is how Apostolic teaching takes it.

The Day of Pentecost
Acts 1:12-14; Acts 2:1-36 Children learn that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spake as the Spirit gave them utterance, that Acts says tongues like as of fire rather than fire itself, and that Peter preached Jesus to the crowd. Nothing in the lesson stages or imitates any of it.
