开头的祷告

祷告是每节课非常重要的一部分，即使对学龄前儿童也是如此。我们用祷告来开始一节课，也用祷告来结束一节课。开头的祷告让孩子们知道，上课的时间到了。借着祷告，我们把我们自己和孩子一起带到灵里。

开头的祷告可以包括以下几个方面:

1) 为可以聚集在一起，为每个孩子的到席，感谢我们的神。

2) 求神带领，让我们可以正确地分享解释神的话。

3) 让孩子们，向着神的话，打开他们的心，让圣灵充满每个人，充满整个课堂。

不像每课结尾的祷告，每课开头的祷告，因为不受时间的限制，可以同时感谢赞美和求告。

新的一班开始时，孩子们可能还比较陌生，不好意思发声。等彼此熟了之后，他们往往会愿意有更多的赞美，更多的祷告。

请把这段时间专门花在赞美和祷告上，不要让其他事情来打扰。

如果课上学生比较多，也可以考虑把孩子分成几个小组，每个小组由不同的大人带着祷告。

还需要注意的事项

1) 请保证每个孩子都有机会祷告。

2) 可以事先把祷告词写下来。

3) 请顾到每个孩子的祷告请求，很重要的一点是，让孩子们知道，你关心他们，他们的每个祷告都很重要。

4) 在祷告里，也可以提及弟兄姊妹和教会的特别需要。

OPENING PRAYER

Worship time is an important part of every lesson, even for preschoolers. It signals that it is time to start the class and end the arrival activities. Prayer lets the children know it is time to get serious. Second, worship time gives you an opportunity to invite the Holy Spirit to be in control of your class.

The Opening Prayer should always include the following:

1. Praise to God for the opportunity to meet and for the attendance of everyone present.

2. A request for guidance, especially for the teacher so that the Word of God can be shared in a meaningful way.

3. Asking the children to be open to learning the Word of God and to invite the Holy Spirit to be present in both everyone's heart and in the classroom.

Because you are not as restricted to how much time you have left, the Opening Prayer works best for including prayer request and praises. With a new class, the children may not feel comfortable speaking up, but as they get to know each other they will be more open to sharing praises and prayer requests. Sharing like this can take a while, so it is important to make sure the kids stay focused on giving only a praise or a prayer request and not to become side-tracked on other issues. If the class size is very large, you may also want to consider dividing the kids into smaller groups and have prayer led by more than one adult leader or helper.

When including prayer request and praises, always consider the following:

1. Ensure everyone has a chance to contribute.

2. Rather then trusting your memory, be prepared to jot down what is said.

3. Be sure to touch on each child's requests. It is important to them to know that you care about them and that their prayers are important.

4. Make sure special needs of your church or church members are also mentioned.
