  According to The Rosary for Kids at angelkiss.com/rosary4kids, the rosary is a combination of saying the prayers and thinking about the different things in the lives of Jesus and his mother, which are called mysteries. Prayers such as Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostle's Creed are perfect prayers for children because they can easily be broken down into terms that children can understand.
  
  

Our Father

• The Our Father is the prayer Jesus said when he was asked how to pray to the Father. According to The Rosary for Kids, the Our father is a perfect prayer and should be said everyday.
  
  

Hail Mary

• Hail Mary is a prayer to Jesus' mother, Mary. It asks Mary to say a prayer for all of us because we have all sinned. As sinners, we are asking for God's forgiveness for breaking his commandments and asking Mary to watch over us now as well as when our time on earth is over.
