Kids Prayer Activities and Resouces

We've sent out prayer packs, but if you want more inspiration, here are loads of ideas for activities to do this week...
5 Finger Prayer

5 Finger Prayer

You never forget your hands! This is a great idea to help you never forget what to prayer for.

If you're feeling creative, you could trace around your own hands and write on the 5 prayer points. If that sounds too complicated, you could do hand prints instead or just print the image.

Lego Prayer

Lego Prayer

Is construction your child's thing? Then this Lego idea is for you.

If they're too young for Lego, you could build things out of any construction toys, and pray for them. Why not build your family and pray for them at the same time?
