Have a family devotional time to talk about stories from the Bible where prayer changed people's lives. Create a prayer calendar with your children that builds up to the National Day of Prayer. Make place mats to use during the week leading up to the National Day of Prayer.
Children can draw pictures of Bible characters or patriotic themes.
Write favorite scriptures on the place mats to help children memorize them. Cover with wipeable, clear plastic so they can be used several times. Share with friends and family. Find out if your community is having a National Day of Prayer observance and organize a family outing around the event. Invite another family to join you for a picnic.
