Prayer Activities, Crafts, Games and More!

February 24, 2010 By

We all know that during Lent, we focus on prayer, fasting, and alms-giving. Here are some fun ways to help children understand prayer and to encourage them to pray more often.

On I Blog Therefore I Am, find these Prayer lesson plans and ideas for Pre K-K. This adorable Prayer Bear is just the tip of the iceberg for cute prayer ideas! Also find vocabulary, children’s prayer songs, crafts, games, snacks, coloring pages, and more!

I found this adorable prayer book.
Hand-shaped Paper Prayer Book with yarn tied through holes in paper to hold the book together.

The site that this picture was originally from no longer exists, so use this Prayer Book craft as inspiration for making your own craft.

 Over at His Mercy is New, I found this prayer journal for kids. 

Open Prayer book with page reading Pray on a wooden table.

I love this prayer intention board from Catholic Family Vignettes!
Prayer Intention display with red hearts for each prayer surrounding a picture of Christ on a tack board.

 

Here’s a cute idea for a prayer garden from Two Shades of Pink.
Multicolored Paper Flower Garden with newspaper paper as the leaves and inner portion of the flower. Flowers are in a paper scrap box on a table.

I Blog Therefore I Am never disappoints! She has lots of prayer ideas and links, plus she created these Hail Mary and Lord’s Prayer games, and you can download them and print them for free! Her games are always fun and educational 🙂

Hail Mary and Lord's Prayer games. Each is a space moving themed board game like monopoly.

    Lacy, you always have such great stuff on here! I actually have a request. It doesn't exactly fit into any liturgical season, but I was wondering if you've ever done a post with responsibility charts? My 5 year old daughter and I are working on that virtue this month, and I wanted to print something for her to put on the wall, but I haven't found anything I like. I'm working on making one for her, but I figured I'd see if you had anything before I re-invented the wheel =) Thanks!!!
