Materials Needed:

• Construction paper in four different colors
• Scissors
• Glue or tape

Directions:

1. Prepare the Paper Strips: Cut the construction paper into strips. Each strip should be about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
2. Assign Prayer Types to Colors: Choose a color for each type of prayer: yellow for adoration, blue for petition, red for intercession, and green for thanksgiving.
3. Write the Prayers: Give each child or student three strips of each color. Have them write a specific prayer on each strip according to its color and prayer type.
4. Make the Loops: Take one strip of paper, curl it around to make a loop, and secure the ends with glue or tape.
5. Form the Chain: Take another strip, slide it through the first loop, and then secure it to form a second loop. Continue this process to build the chain.
6. Display the Prayer Chain: Hang or place the completed prayer chain in a visible area of your home or classroom.

Additional Notes:

• Variations: To make the activity more interesting, use stickers, markers, or crayons to decorate the strips.
• Safety Tip: Make sure younger children use child-safe scissors and are supervised when using glue.
