Type the list below. Make sure each sentence has its own line. Copy the sheet on pink or purple paper-enough for each child to have a set. Have the students cut the prayer strips. The students can paste, glue, or staple each strip inside a previous strip. At the end each day, the students take a strip from their chain and focus on that thought. You can send this project home for students to do with parents or make a larger one to be used in class.
