Fun Prayer Activities for Preschoolers

Create a Prayer Corner

Transform a cozy corner into a sacred space for little ones. Fill it with comfy pillows, vibrant pictures of nature, and a child-friendly Bible. This corner will invite your preschooler to spend quiet moments with God. Discuss what prayer means and how it can be a time to talk to God about anything. The visual and tactile elements make the concept of prayer more tangible for youngsters.

Sing-Along Prayers

Who said prayers have to be somber? Not us! Create joyful noise with sing-along prayers. Use well-known melodies with simple prayerful lyrics about gratitude, love, and kindness. From ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ to ‘The Itsy Bitsy Spider,’ adapting these tunes will have your child singing their heart out to God. Plus, it’s a delightful way to memorize prayers.

Prayer Pebbles and Jars

Craft a prayer pebble jar. Each pebble represents a prayer or a person to pray for. Your child can paint or mark the pebbles as they see fit. Every night, they can pick a pebble from the jar and say a little prayer for that intention. It’s a hands-on activity that makes prayer a tangible, interactive experience.
