'I’m always surprised and thrilled by how honest and open children’s prayers are. They worry about things that we worry about.'Felicity Tunnard (England)
This activity does not need to be attached to the Olympic Games, or to any sporting event, but it works really well when it is.
This activity encourages pupils to think about the worries that are weighing them down and to ask God for strength to ‘lift’ it.
This activity encourages pupils to think about the nations and about the challenges and opportunities that people face there.
This activity is especially suitable for younger children who might like to swirl their ribbon and dance their 'thank you' prayers.
This prayer activity uses the Olympic Flame as a focus, with pupils writing what they are good at, or ways in which they are good, on strips of coloured tissue paper.
This activity encourages pupils to think about the people in their lives who they love and to pray for them as they eat a sweet.
