This prayer activity is especially helpful for using with children under 5 as it helps them to choose things that they would like to say thanks to God for (sometimes it’s very difficult to think of something on the spot!)

You will need: a baking tray, laminated pictures, sticky magnetic tape.

Print off some pictures of things that children might like to say thanks to God for.  See the photo for examples, but I used pictures of food, people, toys, animals, weather etc.

Cut out and laminate the pictures and stick a little bit of magnetic tape on the bakc of each one.

Encourage the children to pick a picture and then work with them to say ‘Thank you God for….Amen!’
