Forms of Prayer Game

Here is a fun game we played in February to learn about different types of prayers:
jumbo-playing-dice
Each table got a foam die from Oriental Trading Company.  These are a great size, very colorful, and very quiet.  I had written on the white board:

1 = Thank you, God, for...
2 = Please forgive me when I...
3 = God, please bless...
4 = God, one thing that makes you so great is...
5 = God, please help me to be more...
6 = God, please help me to be less...

The game is simple: You pass the die around the table, and each person takes a turn (or two) rolling the die.  Whatever number comes up, that's how you start a one-sentence prayer.  This was a great way for kids (and parents, too) to practice some types of prayers and (hopefully) encourage everyone to add some variety to their personal prayer time.
