The disciples came to Jesus and asked Him "Teach us to Pray Lord"  Our children must be taught how to pray and that REAL Heroe's pray for strength, power, wisdom, help from a higher place, and that is God. Prayer is the language of the heart. 

(See 5 Finger prayer from the Keyboards for Christ Music Program) This is an example you can change it to your needs be creative

Daniel prayed to God, and Gabriel (A angel from God)  came to tell him that he was a man greatly beloved of God. Three times that message came to him from heaven in answer to prayer. The secrets of heaven were imparted to him, and he was told that God's Son was going to be cut off for the sins of His people.  Another example we find also that Cornelius prayed; and Peter was sent to tell him words whereby he and his should be saved. In answer to prayer this great blessing came upon him and his household. Peter had gone up to the housetop to pray in the afternoon, when he had that wonderful vision of the sheet let down from heaven. It was when prayer was made without ceasing unto God for Peter, that the angel was sent to deliver him. Look at Paul and Silas in the prison at Philippi. As they prayed and sang praises, the place was shaken, and the jailer was converted. Probably that one conversion has done more than any other recorded in the Bible to bring people into the kingdom of God. remember how Stephen, as he prayed and looked up, saw the heavens opened, and the Son of Man at the right hand of God; the light of heaven fell on his face so that it shone. Remember, too, how the face of Moses shone as he came down from the Mount; he had been in communion with God. In the Gospel of John we read that Jesus at the grave of Lazarus lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me; and I know that Thou hearest Me always; but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that Thou hast sent Me.” remember how Stephen, as he prayed and looked up, saw the heavens opened, and the Son of Man at the right hand of God; the light of heaven fell on his face so that it shone. Remember, too, how the face of Moses shone as he came down from the Mount; he had been in communion with God. So when we get really into communion with God, He lifts up His countenance upon us; and instead of our having gloomy looks, our faces will shine, because God has heard and answered our prayers. Keep Prayer simple: The publican's prayer was: “God be merciful to me a sinner!” The Syrophoenician woman's was shorter still: “Lord help me!” She went right to the mark, and she got what she wanted. The prayer of the thief on the cross was a short one: “Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom!” Peter's prayer was, “Lord, save me, or I perish!” So, if you go through the Scriptures, you will find that the prayers that brought immediate answers were generally brief. Let our prayers be short and to the point, after all God knows everything before we even ask it from Him. The Tools we can use  Let's explore just a few tools we can use in teaching children about prayer. The miracle of prayer comes alive for young people when they realize that God listens to and hears our prayers. I believe that the most important tool we can use and the most important thing we must teach children is that THANKSGIVING must come first in all prayers for this offers praise to God.
