Hey there,
Have you heard of the Five Finger Prayer method? It’s a great way to help both kids and adults focus their prayers and remember important aspects of prayer. I’ve found some really cool resources online that use this method, so I wanted to share them with you.
The 5 Finger Prayer by Kya Ferne
This is a great resource from Teachers Pay Teachers. It includes a printable poster with the steps of the 5 Finger Prayer as well as a worksheet to help kids remember the steps. I love how colorful and engaging the poster is, it’s perfect for a kid’s room or a Sunday School classroom.
Five Finger Prayer Worksheet by Chrisyel
Chrisyel’s Five Finger Prayer Worksheet is another great resource for kids. It includes a coloring page with the steps of the 5 Finger Prayer on one hand and space for kids to draw what they want to pray for on the other hand. It’s a great way to get kids thinking about their prayers in a tangible way.
Lent Playlist - Grow in Faith
This resource is a little different than the others, but I thought it was a really cool way to incorporate the 5 Finger Prayer into your daily life. MichiganUMC.org created a Lent Playlist with a song for each day of Lent (40 in total). Each song has a different theme, and one of the themes is “The Five Finger Prayer”. I love the idea of listening to a different song each day and thinking about a different aspect of faith.
How to Pray the 5 Finger Prayer by Out Upon the Waters
Out Upon the Waters created a really cool printable guide to the 5 Finger Prayer. It includes Bible verses and prompts for each finger of the hand, which is a helpful way to remember what each finger represents. I also like that they included some additional prompts for the spaces between the fingers, like “I want to thank God for…”. It’s a great resource for both kids and adults.
Free Printable Spanish Worksheet by Worksheeto
This resource is in Spanish, but I wanted to include it because I think it’s a great example of how the 5 Finger Prayer method can be adapted to different languages and cultures. The worksheet includes the steps of the 5 Finger Prayer in Spanish as well as prompts for each finger. It’s a great way to get kids thinking about prayer in a different language.
