In this book the authors open the door to even more creative techniques and straightforward ideas, giving those who work with children the means to build lifelong prayer habits and patterns. Each practical lesson is centered around an activity designed to bring out a particular prayer theme.
The lessons are set up in three parts: Goal gives the purpose of the activity; Gather lists the materials required and steps for preparation; and Guide gives complete directions for the activity, as well as background material to enhance understanding of the theme.
Psalm 23, feast days, books of the New Testament, promises of God, names of Jesus, creation, and Jesus' passion are just a few of the topics covered in the lessons. The activities use drama, dance, games, music, storytelling, and art to shape a stimulating environment in which to bring prayer to life.
This collection of prayers and activities is a valuable resource, a simple and direct method for teaching children to talk and walk with God.
"Catechists, teachers, and parents will enjoy this practical and imaginative spiritual guide that helps children explore ways to converse with God. Many of us who are no longer children also have much to learn about prayer from these creative lessons". Dr. Loren B. Mead, Author Founder, The Alban Institute Washington, DC
