Pre-K Prayer Song
Teach Children How to Pray
God loves us and wants us to talk to him. When we talk to God it is called prayer. Jesus taught us how to talk to
God. (Explain the five parts of prayer as referenced in the Plaster Prayer Hand craft
activity. You may also want to use the craft activity to accompany the
lesson.)
To begin, have children stand in a circle and hold hands. Focus on one aspect of the Lord's Prayer for each round of the song. For example, in the first round of the song say prayers that praise and adore God. You may want to prompt the children with specific, short phrases such as,
Dear God you are great; Dear God you are loving; Dear God you are
forgiving, etc.
The song is sung to the tune of "Frere Jacques" (a.k.a. "Are You Sleeping?") As you sing the first round of the song children move clockwise.
"Let's talk to Jesus."
"Let's talk to Jesus."
"What will we say?"
"What will we say?"
"Let's talk to Jesus."
"Let's talk to Jesus."
"Now we pray."
"Now we pray."
At this point children fall down on their knees and take turns saying their sentence prayer. When everyone has said their
prayer, children stand up and sing the prayer song again for the second part of the Lord's Prayer. However, you may want to use only one part of the prayer per class time.
