About this resource

What's inside this resource

This is The Lord's Prayer Craft.

There are 3 different versions of the prayer included.

You will cut-out the strips and place them on the Lord’s Prayer template to create your own copy. Use the numbers to help place each part on the correct line.

I teach this Prayer in 1 week to the Kindergarten.

Each day we learn a new part or stanza, cut it out and then glue it to the template.

I teach it this way in order to explain the meaning behind each part of the prayer.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students can arrange the numbered stanzas of the Lord's Prayer in their correct sequence using the matching template.

  • Students can identify which version of the prayer (Paraphrased ASV, Catholic, or Traditional) they are assembling, based on its wording.

Teaching tips

  • Spread the craft across a week, as the file's own teacher note describes: introduce and glue one new stanza each day rather than the whole prayer at once.

  • Print the blank template on colored cardstock, or on white cardstock if students should color or decorate the finished piece afterward.

  • Rely on the numbering printed on both the strips and the template — the teacher note explains it was added specifically to keep young students from gluing a stanza in the wrong spot.

  • Post one of the three included finished copies in the classroom as a reference students can check their own assembled version against.

Skills covered

  • Sequencing and fine-motor assembly — cutting numbered stanza strips and gluing each into its matching numbered spot on the template.

  • Multi-day project follow-through — building the full prayer craft in daily stages over a week, matching the included teacher note's structure.

  • Text version comparison — recognizing wording differences among the Paraphrased ASV, Catholic, and Traditional versions, such as 'forgive our sins' versus 'forgive us our trespasses.'

Good to know
