Are you hoping to help your children learn to pray for others?
Prayer is a practice that even adults struggle with. Sometimes keeping a list is a great way to remember prayer requests, and to focus on others. For kids, a list during prayer can be a little overwhelming. Prayer cards for kids are a great way to help your child learn to pray for others in a way that feels manageable! It never hurts if the cards are adorable, either.

Ways to Use Prayer Cards for Kids
Prayer Cards for Kids can be used a number of ways. Here are a few ideas:
- At home, have your child choose someone each day to pray for. Write the person’s name on the card. On the back, brainstorm items to pray about. Save the card after praying and use the prayer cards on a rotation, working through one each day.
- Fill all the cards out yourself. Place them in a stack on the table, and take turns at each meal praying for someone on the card.
- In a group, have each child fill out a card with their own prayer requests. Collect the cards and hand them back out so that each child has someone else’s card. Ask children to pray for the requests on the card for a week.
- Share other ideas in the comments!
How to Print Prayer Cards for Kids
I often get asked how to print Thinking Kids resources. Here’s my very best advice. Take it and adapt it for your own good uses.
- Sometimes readers are concerned about using colored ink. If this is the case for you, there should be a setting on your printer that allows you to print in black and white. Printing in grayscale will still use some color, but it will come out prettier than black and white.
- Print these cards on duplex (back-to-back or double-sided). You’ll want to flip on the SHORT edge for these. You should be able to change the settings for this in the Properties tab of your printer box once you download and tell your computer to print.
- I recommend printing on white cardstock so the cards will be more durable and the back won’t show through on the front. This is my very favorite cardstock: Neenah Premium Cardstock.
- If you plan to rotate the cards to use at meals or during your family devotional time, consider laminating them so they will last longer.
- Let your kids write in pen! Frixion erasable pens show up well and erase perfectly. I use them on my planner everyday and I love them. They give kids a fun way to use bright colors–and they still allow room for mistakes.

I was just thinking the prayer card could possibly also be given to the person prayed for with a note of encouragement or your prayer for them with pertinent verses on the back.

God bless you!

The giveaway money would be a great blessing as I am getting ready to move so that would really help with expenses!

I love the idea of using these prayer cards with my children. Thanks so much for sharing them, and for the great giveaway opportunity!
I like the idea of these prayer cards! I feel like I’m struggling sometimes to get my kids to think about people other than themselves, so hopefully having something to “fill out” helps to really get their head/heart thinking more about what others need, and also gives them a moment to think of how truly blessed they already are.
This would help us be able to travel to visit our family for Christmas. 🙂
This giveaway would be a blessing as we are a single income family, with a large extended family. It would help in buying gifts and for curriculum needs through the year.
This is so exciting! What an awesome giveaway! I love the prayer cards.
Your prayer cards is such a sweet idea. Since I use paypal to pay for homeschool co-ops and other homeschool classes (which usually comes out of the little bit of money that I earn), having a big chunk of money in paypal would bless us for a long time!
Thanks for the giveaway and for the prayer cards!
It has been a tough year due to medical expenses—winning this giveaway would be a blessing. Thank you for offering it. 🙂
We are planning a prayer challenge for kids and their parents in January and I think the cards are perfect for the classrooms that month. The $500 would be a blessing for our family to help with our homeschool and to bless our friends and family.
Well, I just discovered a part of my vacuum is broken and 2 of our computers but the dust recently. This would definitely lift a burden from our family!
This would bless our family by helping out with funds while I take a break from teaching piano lessons after our 3rd baby boy is born in January. Thank you!
Thank you for the giveaway. What a wonderful blessing for someone! If we win it will go toward dental bills. Thanks!
Winning this money would be good as I am getting ready to transition to another job and not sure how long it will be for a first paycheck.
Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway. I know it will be a huge help to someone’s Christmas.
We are looking at another military move in the upcoming year. The unexpected expenses from that and another chance to show the children we tithe from all gifts in our lives would be wonderful.
Awesome giveaway! It would be a huge blessing to win.
Awesome
What a generous giveaway! I always appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for running a great blog!
