Play & Pray - Creative Prayer Ideas for Your Church, Children, and Youth

Prayer is simply talking and listening to God, but for children it can sometimes feel hard to understand. Creative prayer activities make prayer come alive—through music, art, play, and movement—helping kids see that prayer is joyful, personal, and something they get to do every day.

This book gives you 50 creative ideas you can use in children’s classes, youth ministry, or even with adults. Each activity helps people of all ages discover that prayer is a gift, an adventure, and a way to draw closer to the God who loves them.

Whether you are a parent, teacher, or ministry leader, you’ll find practical, engaging ways to encourage prayer that fits naturally into everyday life. These simple tools will help you inspire lasting habits of prayer in the next generation.
