Opening the ayah…
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
'Ūlā'ika ma''wāhumu nnāru bimā kānū yak'sibūna
Their abode is the Fire, because of the (evil) they earned.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Those who ignore Allah and His signs end up in the Fire because of the deeds they chose.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Do our choices lead somewhere?"
Play the recitation and notice how short this ayah is: one clear line about where choices lead.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why do they end up there?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can choices today shape where we end up?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 8. This short ayah says, calmly and clearly, that the heedless end in the Fire because of their own deeds. Allah is never unfair, and the door to turn back to Him stays open while we live.
Fact: Find an ayah in this surah that says Allah does not wrong people at all. Hint: look near 10:44.
Ages 5–8: Path game. Draw two paths and write a good choice on one of them.
Ages 9–12: Turning back. Write what tawbah means and how to do it.
Finish with: "Allah does not ___ people at all."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say astaghfirullah when I make a mistake."
Action: Say astaghfirullah when you make a mistake.
