*Many of these activities were inspired by Prayer Spaces in School!

Each child got this to tick off as they went through each station. They took this home to remind them of what they had explored during the day.

Al-Khaliq: The Creator

Here the children talked about how Allah has made each and every single one of us, and how we are all unique and perfect as we are.

The children looked at mirrors and compared their similarities (2 eyes, 1 nose) but then started noticing how each was also very different.

They then put their thumbprints on the poster and explored it further with magnifying glasses, noting that no 2 fingerprints are the same!

Ash Shakoor: The Rewarder of Thankfulness

At this station, the concept of thankfulness was explored, and how Allah loves those who are thankful, and gives them even more.

The children jumped on a trampoline to tap into a happy state, and shouted out something or someone that made them happy.

They then thought about the fact that it was Allah who gave them these blessings. They wrote this blessing down on a ribbon and tied on the tree, saying thank you to Allah as they did so.

Al Ghaffar: The Forgiving One

At this station, the children talked about how we all make mistakes which we feel sorry for. Allah is so Forgiving, He forgives our mistakes is we realise what we have done and say sorry.

The children sat and wrote something they had done and wanted to say sorry for – they wrote this in invisible ink and then went into the den to put it away into the chest secretly,… to emphasise that we try and hide the bad we have done and feel ashamed of it.

Then then discussed how sometimes people do things that hurt us, and how we too, should forgive. With that in time, they dropped a tablet into water and watched it fizzed into nothing as they thought of a hurt done to them which the now forgave as they said the name Al Ghaffar – until the hurt was all gone!
