Popcorn Prayer Circle

Prayers
Leave a Comment

A popcorn prayer circle gives everyone an opportunity to offer a prayer, either silently or vocally. This is a nice way to pray if you are doing an activity where you are practicing silence. But it is also just another way to pray together, or if you want to make sure everyone has a chance to offer their whole prayer without interruption.

Popcorn Prayer

Give the complete instructions before you start. Fill in with the appropriate names.

  1. Everyone is going to stand in a circle and hold hands.
  2. We will start with Jane. Jane will offer her prayer, either silently or out loud.
  3. When Jane is finished, she will squeeze the hand of the person to the right, Joe. That will be Joe’s signal that it is his turn.
  4. Then Joe will offer a prayer, either silently or out loud.
  5. When Joe is finished, he will squeeze the hand of Janet.
  6. We will continue around the circle until we get back to Jane. When Jane’s hand is squeezed, she will say “Amen.” so that we know we have gone all the way around the circle.
