We can pray as a family

Family Prayer (Word Document) - The four photos are mom, dad, girl, boy. Each is a single person kneeling in prayer. The file is a one page word document that has lots of people on it for cutting out.  We cut out enough individual people to match all the family members of each of the children in class. Then we stuck the family members on a colored paper and labeled each person by name, with the title of Family Prayer at the top of the page. The intention was to have a family specific coloring page for each child to show his or her whole family praying together.  For my family, I would have put the following in a row: mom, boy, girl, boy, girl, dad. Then I would have labeled them: Mom, Steve, Becky, Ben, Sariah, Dad. It was a pretty big deal for the children to have everyone in their family labeled. If the name wasn't just right, they would correct us. It was interesting how specific each child was about what they called their parents. Mommy, Mom, Momma are all distinct and we needed to get them right.  I struggled with this lesson to keep it specific to family prayer, rather than being generic for any prayer. This project to work on and take home worked well for me.  The pictures were based off the April 1991 Friend page 32 "Talking to Heavenly Father".  (Idea from Jennie C. / ga01222007)
