Oct 23, 2023 · Courtney Wilson. Ministry 101. 9 Minutes. Teaching kids how to pray is as simple as a chat with God! It is so important that we encourage kids to pray. They can be pretty loud, yes.

Many adults understand that prayer is simply talking to God. So, let’s help kids understand that too. Let’s help them get into the habit of talking to God in a natural way, so that it becomes second nature to them. Here’s are 8 prayer strategies for encouraging kids to develop a rich and meaningful prayer life.
- Help children talk to God. Everyone—especially children—would find sitting down to prayer easier if we could find a way to forget our notions of “correct prayer methods” and just start talking.
- There’s nothing too big—or too small—for God. It’s true; God can help us face the hardest moments in our lives. God is also there to share in our smaller moments, too.
- Anything is okay to talk to God about. Don’t discourage a child from including a song from The Little Mermaid in her prayer. Let her thank God for her favorite movie and share what’s in her heart.
- Making prayers relevant to children’s lives enables them to grow in prayer. Because kids have a strong tendency to view the world in terms of me, my, and mine, capitalize on this very normal stage of development by focusing prayer on kids’ everyday concerns.
Using some creative prayer activities for kids, you can help your child learn to pray, enjoy talking to God, and build a life-long habit of prayer. These prayer activities for kids can be simple or complex, depending on how you want to use them and expand on them.
Teaching kids the importance of prayer is one of the greatest privileges I have as The Scripture Lady. Over the years, I have created several ways to teach kids how to pray through the use of Bible songs, Bible object lessons and Bible games.
