A MEALTIME PRAYER
Does your family or classroom pray before meals? My family does. We say Grace in English AND in Spanish. It's so exciting to listen to my kids and my husband, and me, thanking God for our meals everyday in two languages!
I put together a simple lesson so that your family or classroom can say the mealtime prayer in Spanish too! Soon this prayer can become part of your family's or classroom's tradition just like it is in my home. The video below will guide you through how to learn and practice the prayer as a family. If you practice the prayer everyday, you will probably have it memorized in a week :)
Below you will see a PDF of the prayer. Download it and print off a few copies. If you can, laminate the copies so they last longer. Pass out the copies when practicing the prayer. You will also find four song files of the prayer. A Mom and Dad each sing The Mealtime Prayer in Spanish at a slower tempo and at the regular tempo so you can start at your comfort level :)
