Prayer Bible Study for Kids Lapbook

It is so important that we teach our kids about prayer. We want to teach them about Jesus–about the gospel–and we do, right? But do we really teach our kids to pray constantly, earnestly, and humbly to the King of the Universe?

I think we should teach our kids not only to pray, but also about prayer. They need to learn what the Bible says about praying.

I’ve got you covered. I’ve put together a fun, hands-on prayer Bible study for kids that you can use with your family. Not only that, I’ve bundled together a family Bible study on prayer so you can take a true unit study approach to spending time in the Word, learning about prayer.

You’ll want to do the Prayer Bible study for kids over a period of days or a couple of weeks. Check out this fun video that shows how the lapbook is put together!

The Prayer Lapbook is a fun, hands-on Bible study for your child from the ages of 5-12. You and your child will study a number of Scripture passages:

- Luke 11:1-13
- Psalm 141:1-2
- Revelation 5:6-10
- 2 Chronicles 7:13-14
- Matthew 6:5-13
- 1 Samuel 2:1-10

- Galatians 4:4-6
- 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
- Romans 5:1-5

Your child will learn what the Bible says about why we pray, how God participates in our prayers, the different types of prayers, and how Scripture tells us to respond when God says no to our prayers.

How to Print and Use the Prayer Lapbook

To create the base of your lapbook, place your file folder on a table and fold both sides inward toward the creased spine of the folder. Once the outer edges meet, crease your file folder. This will give you a book that opens in the middle. You will still have a fold in the middle of your book, so I like to glue a piece of cardstock into the middle section of the book to create a thick center that won’t bend.

You’ll want to print the My Prayer Bible Study for Kids Lapbook single-sided on plain printer paper using color ink. In your lapbook pages, you will find step-by-step instructions on each minibook and activity, explaining how to assemble each.

You can watch a quick tutorial for the Prayer lapbook above, at the beginning of this post.

The Prayer Bible Study for Kids Lapbook will give your child hours of thoughtful Bible study, with visuals they’ll never forget.
