Prayer Exercise (young children)

Discover how your children or pupils pray by asking them to close their eyes and then pray aloud. Listen to each one talk with God. If they are reluctant to pray – start working on how to talk with God. Discuss the elements of prayer. Why do we ask God to bless us? Do we ask God to bless us? Continue this activity each week until you see the students becoming more comfortable talking to God. As they gain confidence, add more to the structure of prayer. Discuss when to pray and why prayer is important.
