Another way to keep the kids' attitudes positive about devotions is to use creativity to make them exciting. Read them Bible stories. Watch and discuss Christian videos. Pray about things they like. One of the kids will pick a person, place or thing from the Bible, and the rest of us take turns asking questions to guess the answer.
Game options are limitless, and many common games can be adapted to teach Christian principles.
Spending time with your children in prayer before bedtime is intimate and rewarding. But it's not the only way to spend time getting to know God together. In addition to bedtime prayer, we try to vary what we do and where. Balance flexibility with consistency. In other words, taking time to talk about God and pray should become a lifestyle, not just a specific activity to be completed each day.
