Grace Songs – 11 Fun Children’s Graces To Sing At Dinner
These fun Christian grace songs are a great way to engage kids in prayer before meals, either at church, camp, or your dinner table at home.
Praying before meals is such an important way to connect with family and friends to thank God for the food on your table.
Traditional prayers are always wonderful, but singing grace adds such a fun, special touch to your prayers, especially for kids! Adding songs and movement is a great way to make the experience feel more interactive for them.
I grew up singing these songs – with my family around the dinner table, with my Girl Scout troop, at church, and at church camp. And now I sing them with my own kids, too.
I’ve listed the lyrics to each grace below, along with links to videos (when they were available) of people singing them so that you can hear the tunes.
These are fun, simple children’s grace songs that your kids will love!
