Flip Chart: A Child’s Prayer

I love the song A Child’s Prayer, it’s one of my very favorite Primary songs! For this song, I make a special flip chart that helps me lead the two separate parts of the song a little easier. It’s such a beautiful song with the separate parts that A Child’s Prayer is a fun song to teach. Plus, it reminds the children that a loving Heavenly Father does hear and answer their prayers.

A Child’s Prayer Flip Chart

In the A Child’s Prayer Flip Chart there are 4 pages – 2 pages for each of the two verses. The 1st verse has a lot more words than the second verse, but to cover the pacing of the song it works best to have the same number of pages for each verse / part so you can flip both parts at the same time.

This year, we’ll be splitting the song with Senior Primary singing the second verse and Junior Primary singing the 1st verse when the song comes together during the 3rd verse with parts. You could also split and have the teachers sing or a small group from the Primary.

I highly recommend printing all 4 pages of this A Child’s Prayer flip chart. Then, put the 2-pages for the first verse facing outward in a single sheet protector. Do the same for the second verse. Don’t use my traditional flip chart split rings method for this song – you’re going to want these pages separate!

When it’s time to teach the third verse through that combines the two parts – ask another leader or a teacher to help the first few practice times through the song so they can help direct and sing. This will make it easier for the kids to follow along. Each of the leaders can hold the appropriate sheet protector with the verse flip chart. After a few times through, you can open it up to have the Primary children help be your conductors – they’ll love this!

Primary Program Flip Chart Printable

For our primary program presentation lyrics book, we have a 3-page version of the A Child’s Prayer flip chart. You’ll want to flip back to the first verse when you go through the song with the combined parts as the youngest Primary children will need the most help. Or, you can keep it on the final page that covers all of the 3rd verse, and hold up the singing time flip chart version for the Junior Primary to help signal and lead them through the song.
