Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

How often do I think about God?

Do I share with others?
Am I helpful to my family and neighbors?
Do I show respect to my teachers and classmates?
Give us this day our daily bread.
Do I remember to say thank you?
Am I sometimes greedy?
Do I appreciate the good things I have in my life?
Do I think of ways to help those who have no food, clothes, shelter or money?

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Do I say I’m sorry when I have been wrong?
Do I forgive and forget when someone does something bad to me?
Do I help solve problems between my friends or do I cause more trouble?
Do I say bad things about people who have hurt me?
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Do I play fairly in sports and games?
Do I cheat in school?
Do I tell the truth?
Do I let other kids tempt me to do things I know I shouldn’t do? Do I tempt others?
