    I am so in love with your site! I am a grade 1 catechist and I like to do a lot of hands on and multi-sensory activities. I am doing a class with them on prayer this week and found so many great ideas here for activities. Thanks so much for this blog. God Bless!

    Thanks, that means a lot! It really makes it worthwhile when people get in touch. I have to say that it has become a bit of a filing cabinet of ideas for me too. Before i started this I could never remember half the things I'd done!! :-)

    Hi Mina,
    I am printing off your wonderful prayers to colour in to send to the children that we sponsor through Compassion. I think the sheets are great and I can definitely see myself using the Lord's Prayer sheet with my class at school.
    Many thanks and God bless!

    You've got some lovely ideas here. I'm hoping to make use of your take home story bag suggestions for our toddler group.

      Great - thanks! I'm always wary of pinning unless there is express permission, because of copyright. Always better to check!

    Mina thank you so much for the workshop you led in Exeter back in March. I got wonderful ideas which I am now using in our revamped Sunday School sessions. I have taken your advice and plan 10 mins of prayer into the session and the kids have really engaged with the activities. Thanks again :)

    Hi Mina, Thank you for so generously sharing your creativity with us. We are a small church plant in rural Australia and our kids ministry would not be half of what it is without your hard work. God is doing good things with our kids. We do prayer stations most weeks, colour your artworks as we worship, use your story telling ideas and the rest! So thank you and may God bless you richly xxx Sarah

    Hi Mina
    Thank you for blessing so many of us in children's ministry by sharing your ideas on here.

    I plan the 4-7s Sunday school group for our church and I find your creative prayers ideas really helpful - and the kids love them. This term we are going to be setting up our own prayer station too.

    Your playdough mats are a fantastic idea and always go well in the sessions.

    Thank you
    Emy

    Could you tell me more about the "collective worship" boards you have on Pinterest? We are trying to do some Cross+Gen stuff at my church, and I think we may be one the same page...

      Hi! the collective worship boards were made for the school I was working with. They had planned out a theme for every week of assemblies and wanted some ideas for each week to help inspire the teachers! Where are you located?

    Hello! Just wanted to thank you for your ideas! It's so nice to see some activities for church that are not just product-oriented, but about the process (especially a thoughtful, prayerful process). Thanks so much!

Button Prayers

If you are looking for an active, kinaesthetic, way of praying in a small group or even with the whole congregation, then this might be for you! You will need: A collection of buttons of different shapes, sizes and colours- at least one button for each person praying. Give everyone a button. Feel the hardness of the button and think about people who are going through hard times.  Ask God to help them. Buttons are used to fasten clothes together.  Ask God to bring together people who have fallen out and moved apart from each other.  Pray that He will bring peace. Look at your button and see how many holes it has.  Think of that number of things you would like to say thank you to God for and say Thank you prayers. Look at the colour of the button and say thank you to God for something that is that colour  Find someone who has the same colour button as you.  You might want to make a small group of people with the...

Trusting God: The Amazing Water Glass Trick!

I used this idea in an assembly yesterday, focussing on people we trust and what it means to trust God.   This would work really well if you are exploring miracle stories or stories about trust.  Suitable verses to use with it might be:  Joshua 1:9: Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the  Lord  your God will be with you wherever you go.” Psalm 56: 3  When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. John 14: 1  Jesus said, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me  I have to admit that this trick is not an original idea.  I found the trick in this book:  Simple Science Object Talks by Heno Head Jnr  and would definitely recommend getting cold of a copy if you can! You will need: A glass of water (about half- 2/3 filled) and an index card. This is what you do: place the index card over the top of the glass, making sure that the whole of the rim is covered by it, and press...

The Power of Prayer: Skittles Experiment!

This experiment with skittles is colourful, easy and makes a great statement about what we are asking God to do when we pray.  In essence, prayers are a way of joining with God and asking him to have an effect on the world and situations around us. We pray because we believe that our prayers, through God's power, will make a difference to the world.  In this activity, colour is released from the sweets into the surrounding water, creating a colourful picture, symbolic of how the prayers we raise to God are a way of us joining with Him to release the kingdom here on earth and have an impact. You will need: A bag of skittles, a plate, hot water (not hot enough to scald, but hot enough to make the colour run!) Arrange the skittles in the plate Pour some hot water onto the plate to cover its surface.  Pour it carefully so that the skittles stay in place.  Wait and the skittles will gradually release their colour Try an alternative... Cover the s...
