Ball Toss prayer circle is an activity to help give everyone a chance to offer a prayer. It also encourages the more quiet ones in your group to participate.
If you need a less solemn prayer activity, if the members of your group need a lift, try this with a water balloon. You should explain beforehand that this is still a prayer and people should still be reverent and respectful. But God, our loving Father, enjoys seeing us laugh also, just as a parent delights in seeing a young child having fun.
