Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How many suns are in our sky? How many moons go round the Earth? How many of you are there in the whole world?" Let everyone answer.
Watch the short video about the spirals in a sunflower. The same kind of spiral pattern shows up again and again in nature, in seeds, shells and pinecones.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the very first thing this surah tells us about Allah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do the same beautiful patterns appear all over creation?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Fact: How many spirals are there in the head of a big sunflower? Look up the numbers, and the name "Fibonacci".
Ages 5–8: Spiral hunt. Look for spirals around you: in pinecones, shells, snails, flowers, even your own fingertips. Draw three you find.

Finish with: "I found spirals in ___."
