1. Alphabet prayer

Practice thankfulness using the letters of the alphabet! Go in order as a family and each say something you’re thankful for using the A, B, Cs.
Example: I’m thankful that I got to see my friend Abby at school today, B…. I’m thankful mom put Blueberries in my lunch today, and so on!

2. Prayer walk outside

Take a walk outside, thanking God for the beauty of creation as you go. Pick up mementos on the way and turn it into a craft when you get home!
Collect leaves, sticks, flowers, rocks, woodchips, etc and make a collage of your prayer walk.

3. Pray through Art!

Whether painting or coloring, designate different colors for different topics and pray as you craft.
Example: Blue = family, Red = friends, Green = creation

Have your kids write simple prayer sentences or drawings to God and keep the journal designated for praying.
