Craft: Pray for Others Bucket<\/span><\/strong>
\nDecorate a bucket with words, stickers, and pictures that have to do with prayer. On craft sticks (the bigger ones would probably work better) have students write the names of people they can pray for. They can then take the bucket home and pull different sticks on the different days to help them pray for people. Also give them some blank sticks to they can add to their buckets.

Five Finger Prayer<\/span><\/strong>

Game: Prayer Balloons<\/span><\/strong>
\nCome up with a list of names to write on a card. These names could be people you know of that need prayer, or groups of needy people throughout the world. Place the names separately on small cards or pieces of paper that can be rolled up and placed within the balloon before blowing up the balloons. Have the kids toss the balloon into the air and have them try to keep the balloon up in the air for at least 30 seconds. When this is complete, ring a bell or call time. The child who catches the balloon pops it and the name on the paper is read out loud. The class then says a simple one or two sentence prayer for the name on the list.

Game: Musical Chair Prayers<\/span><\/strong>
\nWrite out cards that have the names of people and tribes that might not get to hear about Jesus. Tape three of these to each chair in various places. Start the music and have the kids walk around the chairs. When the music stops have them kneel in front of a chair and find one of the hidden cards. Have them pray for a minute for the name on the card. Pick up the cards and re-peat the activity until the cards are all gone. Then show the children how many different groups they have prayed for.
