Here's a really simple prayer even the littlest ones can repeat:

I love you, God,
with all my might.
Keep me safe
all through the night.

And here's another, kinder version of "now I lay me ..."

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, Guard me while I sleep tonight, And wake me safe at dawn's first light.

Last -- one of our family favorites:

Guardian Angel from heaven so bright, Watching beside me to lead me aright, Fold thy wings round me, and guard me with love, Softly sing songs to me of heaven above.

Amen!

I know this may sound weird, but I try very hard not to make a huge deal out of God, and religion in my home. With my mother an italian catholic and my father jewish, it was hard as a kid. I will let my children choose when theyre ready, but for now, and to keep things neutral, we say this prayer:
"Down I lay my head tonight, my angels watch me through the night. May our new day bless the ones I love, and have my angel send me a dove. Amen."
When we see morning doves, my children truly believe they are gifts from heaven.

This is how I taught this prayer to my daughters.I changed the words a little because I thought it might be frightening to small children . Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, Watch over me this starry night.Till I can see the morning bright.

When I was little I had a plaque that had
"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
May angels guard me through the night
and wake me to the morning light."
Amen.

this is a very short one and it is very easy to learn!
Now it is time to say good night
sweet dreams do my word with light
angels are watching from above
to bless me and everyone I love
Amen

If the children are older than maybe they want a harder one that gets a little different but i hope it can help!!:)

My parents taught me:

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Now that I'm older..it sounds kind of horrible though! :)
