Breath Prayers

If you’re not familiar with breath prayers—as this poster mentions, these are prayers you can pray in a single breath, repeating if you like as you inhale and exhale. I love how this communicates to kids the ease and constancy of prayer. (You can even make your own!)

5-Finger Prayer Method

I’m not in love with helping our kids rely on formulaic prayer–and most of these templates work against that grain.

But younger kids are learning the basics of what healthy prayer looks like. (Think of it like you would a relationship with a human: “Talk to your Mom about all these things for a healthy relationship.”

Each finger on their little hands can remind even kids about how Jesus taught us to pray (in Matthew 6:9-13).
