Prayers Before Meals

I scoured some of these on-line, Mama. :) Maybe there's one you would like for the littles.

Lord, we thank you for this meal
For all the blessings you impart
For our family, for our friends
And for living in our heart.
---
Our Heavenly Father, kind and good,
We thank You for our daily food.
We thank You for Your love and care.
Be with us Lord, and hear our prayer.
Amen.
---
Come Lord Jesus, be our guest,
May this food by thee be blest,
May our souls by thee be fed,
Ever on the living Bread.
---
Jesus, stop, and sit with us,
We thank you for this food.
Bless it for our nourishment,
To make us strong and good.
---
God is great, God is good.
Let us thank him for our food.
By his hands, we are fed.
Let us thank him for our bread.
Amen.
---
Bless the bunch that munch this lunch.
---
Now I fold my hands and say
Thank you God for my supper today
---
a brief grace with hand motions, as follows:

God bless us (hands on head)
God bless the food (hands aroud plate)
Amen (hands folded)
---
And finally...
To the tune of the Batman theme song:
Thank you for the dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, Amen!

I love the first meal prayer.
I'm going to teach them that one.
