Whoosh: The Day the Wind Came — Puppet Skit for VBS (15 min)

Six disciple puppets are hiding in an upper room, scared to leave. Peter keeps making excuses about why they cannot go preach yet. A French-speaking friend puppet pops in just to mock them. Then — wind machine on full, sound effects of rushing wind, paper tongues of fire lowered on fishing line over each puppet head. Each disciple suddenly speaks a different language. Peter steps forward and preaches the shortest, clearest gospel summary your kids will ever hear — the story of Jesus in 90 seconds. The skit ends with the disciples bursting out the door to tell the city.

Theme — The same Holy Spirit who turned scared disciples into bold preachers in Acts 2 still shows up when ordinary kids decide to talk about Jesus.
