Fasting & Praying with Kids can be FUN!!!!
We are gearing up for January which is our church's season of fasting and prayer. We already have a habit of eating vegan as a family during this time , but I was brainstorming activites we could do each afternoon to make the prayer part more engaging for the kids.
Fun Prayer Activities to do with Kids
1. Treasure hunt prayer: Write out ten prayers and a location on each like "Pray for Dad" and then" Go to the tree," then have kids hunt for the paper with the next clue and prayer.
2. Balloon Prayer: Hide 20 prayers on small slips of paper in balloons. Pop and Pray! Or, pray first and then let the kids stuff & blow and release into the sky.
3. Location Prayer: To pray for a nation, say an Arabic one, set up a tent (a blanket over the table) and pray for that nation under the tent.
4. Refugee Prayer: Make a boat out of your couch or the plastic swimming pool and pray for the refugees in the Mediterranean.
5. Nation Prayer: We have missionaries in Mexico. You can set out a Mexican blanket and some Maracaas. Worship and Pray for missionaries on the blanket!
6. Roll the ball prayer: For small children, roll the ball to a family member and have them pray and then roll to the next person to pray. Or shoot a hoop after each prayer.
7. Pinterest Prayer: Buy a giant vase and fill it daily with paper prayers so the kids can see their prayers grow!
8. Use the SOAP method of Bible study, but have each child write their thoughts in their own prayer journal sitting together as a family and then share.
9. Prophetic treasure hunting: Ask all the children to listen to God and what he is saying about where to go, who to pray for. Compile a descriptive list and Go! It may be to a park or mall. Find the person and pray for them!
10. Drive by prayer: Pray for institution in your city by driving by the local jail, school, church, firehouse, or other government building.
11. Homeless prayer: Stop your car and get out to pray for the homeless man at the intersection.
12. Visit the nursing home to pray with elderly folk.
13. Hop to the state or Hop to the Country: Tape on the floor a map or use a large carpet map, puzzle map... pray for the spot you hopped on.
14. Spin and Pray: Make a large game spinner out of an old pizza box and make each section a family member with their name and photo.
15. Use photos of family members as memory cards. Play memory but pray for the person you "matched."
16. Make a Prayer cube. Roll and Pray.
17. Ribbon wall. Write your prayer and place it on the wall. Or remove a prayer from the wall and wear it on your wrist.
