Praying in Color

Before school began I was blessed to attend a workshop in which I was introduced to praying in color.

I thought that this would be a neat tool to help my kinders learn to pray - no words needed and lots of colors and doodling involved - perfect! 

I introduced praying in color a couple weeks ago. I started by praying in color and speaking my prayer out loud as I colored. I praised God, I prayed for ill friends, I prayed for each child in our class. 

My kinders have never been so still and quiet as when I was doing this. (And this in in the middle of the afternoon!) I was astounded. 

Then I turned on quiet piano music, gave them each a blank sheet of paper, and they got started. 

They were quiet and on task the whole time. 

Here are some of their prayers. 

I am just blown away by their prayers. What a blessing this has been in our classroom already.
