PRAYER Activity: I Can Pray to Heavenly Father - Daniel and Lions' Den DRAMA SCENE - Come Follow Me (Primary and Home)

CHILDREN’S LESSON ACTIVITY. DANIEL AND THE LIONS’ DEN drama scene. Children will be guided by Daniel’s story on faith to know Heavenly Father listens and hears their prayers. Like Daniel, they can pray to Heavenly Father and know that as they make good choices like Daniel, He will protect them and help them know what to do (Daniel 6). Have them pretend to be the lions with big mouths opening up to eat Daniel, and then close their mouths to remind them that Heavenly Father closed the lions’ mouths to protect Daniel.

ACTIVITY: Use the props and figures to act out the Daniel and Lions’ Den story where Daniel prayed to Heavenly Father. Then the lions did not eat Daniel (Daniel 6).

THOUGHT TREAT: Cream-filled cookies or crackers. Say, “These cookies or crackers are like our hands in prayer. They come together and are folded and quiet. Then when the prayer is over, they can unfold (take cookie apart). After the prayer is over, let’s remember to keep our hands still. Keep your hands folded or in your lap in Primary. This is being reverent in Heavenly Father’s house.”
