Praying the Rosary

October is the month of the rosary and we took the opportunity to learn to pray the rosary. To make this form of meditative prayer accessible for our littles, we prayed one decade each day this week.

We made single-decade beaded rosaries on pipe cleaners. 

The decade of 10 beads can be moved around as each prayer is shared.

To connect our daily decade to the full rosary, we coloured in the 10 beads (decade) we prayed each day. 

Learning the Hail Mary prayer has been central to our exploration of the rosary. A "puzzle-piece" prayer came home. Consider praying this prayer as a family.
