There’s not just one way to pray. Or two. Or three. Or any number of ways.

Prayer is a place to experiment, to try new things, to speak to God with our own voice. And The Prayer Experiment Notebook exists to help young children learn just that. By showing that prayer is much more than putting your hands together and being quiet, it will bring excitement to kids learning to talk to God.

It includes prayer experiments such as


  • Play Dough Prayers
  • Paper Chain Prayer
  • Lego Prayers
  • Bubble-wrap worry prayers
  • Minecraft Church
  • Playing Card Prayer

As well as lots more!

With sections for individual children as well as groups, these activities can be done at home or in Church and School.

Tried and tested by children, and given a big thumbs up, The Prayer Experiment Notebook shows the creativity and adventure that can be found in prayer.

When you think of praying, do you see yourself closing your eyes and putting your hands together? It's good, but there are also many, many other ways to pray!

Why not experiment and try:

  • play dough prayers
  • Lego prayers
  • building aa prayer den
  • bubble wrap prayers
  • making a prayer tree . . .

Written by two adults, but with LOTS of feedback from other young experimenters, this book will get you praying in many fun and different ways.

Which will be your favourite prayer experiment?

'It was very interesting. It made me think a lot about God, and me, and how much God loves me.' Zoe (8) on contemplation bottles

'I think this activity is one of the best activities because it made you think what you were thankful for.' Alex (11) on the thank-you jar

'It was exciting and fun because it was a bit like a game and you didn't know which type of prayer you would get.' Poppy (11) on chatterbox prayers
