FAMILY PRAYER ACTIVITIES
Praying in Color
Handout out paper and coloring supplies. Encourage everyone to write a name for God on a piece of paper. Draw a shape around it or just start to doodle. Draw out your prayers or add names of people you’re praying for as you create. Learn more about praying in color.
Build a Prayer
Gather building supplies (legos, blocks, art supplies) and construct your prayer. A few prayer prompts to consider: build something you’re thankful for, someone you’re praying for, something you’re asking God for. Share creations and pray as a family.
The 5-Finger Prayer
Have everyone hold one hand. Take turns going through the 5-finger prayer. For each finger, invite everyone to share a short prayer. Thumb (praise to God), Pointer (God, I’m sorry for…), Middle (thank you God for…), Ring (prayer for others), Pinky (prayer for yourself).
