The Lord's Prayer for Kids
The prayer Jesus himself taught his friends — in kid-friendly words.
Simple version
Our Father in heaven, your name is holy. Come and be King here on earth like you are in heaven. Give us what we need today. Forgive us — and help us forgive others. Keep us out of trouble. Because you are the King forever. Amen.
Line by line
Say each line, then pause and talk about what it means: Father in heaven. Your name is holy. Your kingdom come. Give us today's bread. Forgive us. Lead us. Deliver us.
Verse to remember
“Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”
— Matthew 6:9
Parent tip
Memorize one line a week — by the end of two months your child will have the whole prayer.
