Kids’ Church Ideas

Crossroads Kids’ Club


Idea 1

Scavenger Hunt

  • Prepare some pieces of paper, each with a prayer idea on it.

  • Hide the papers in a room and ask the kids to go on a hunt.

  • Once they find a piece of paper ask them to sit down and pray for the thing on their paper.

  • Or bring all the papers back once they are found and split the kids up into small groups to pray for the things on their papers.


Idea 2

Spinning Globe

  • Let the kids put their finger on a globe and spin it.

  • When the globe stops spinning ask the kids to pray for the country or water where the kids finger lands.


Idea 3

Tell Stories

  • Tell the kids stories about times when you have prayed for people and things happened.

  • Ask the kids if they have any stories to share.


Idea 4

Creative prayer

  • Divide your space into a few sections

  • Give each space a name like Family, School, Friends, World, Leaders, Me. Make one room a quiet room where they can go and just pause, listen and talk quietly to God.

  • In each of the spaces give the kids things to use to help them pray creatively. Play-doh, pipe cleaners, paint, magazines to cut out and past pictures on a mural.

  • Give the kids time to be creative and pray.


Idea 5

Play 20 questions with the kids.

  • Give the kids a larger topic, like family, animals, countries, and ask them to think of something from that topic.

  • Then play 20 questions where everyone can ask them up to 20 questions that have yes or no answers to try to guess what they were thinking of.

  • Once the thing is guessed, pray for it.

  • For example, if the kid was thinking of their Dad, then everyone takes a minute and prays for their Dad.
