Start with bismillah.

Ask everyone to name the people who look after them: who cooks, who drives, who teaches, who hugs? Write each name on a sticky note. Then ask: "And who looks after all of these people?"

Watch the video of emperor penguins huddling together to keep their eggs warm in the freezing cold. How do they take care of the eggs?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who does this ayah tell us to turn to when we need protection?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can Allah look after every single person at the same time?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nas is surah 114, the very last surah of the Quran. Find ayah 1. The surah's name means "people". Can you find that word in the translation of this ayah?

Fact: About how many people live on Earth today?

Look it up with a grown-up.

Ages 5–8: Draw a care circle. Draw yourself in the middle of a page. Around you, draw everyone who looks after you. Then draw one big circle around all of them.

Ages 9–12: Make a care map. List ten things you needed today (water, food, a safe home…). For each one, write who or what helped bring it to you. Keep asking "And who looked after them?"

Finish with: "I found that ___ people and things looked after me today."

Talk together:

• Who looks after the people who look after you?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When you feel scared or unsafe, who do you turn to first?
• Why do you think this surah begins by asking us to turn to Allah?
• How could you look after someone else this week?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I feel worried, I will ___, and I will help look after ___ at ___."

• Show your care circle or care map to someone at home, and thank one person on it.
• Learn this first ayah by heart and recite it to your family.
• Next time: the next two ayat (114:2–3) describe Allah in two more ways. Explore them together!

Action: Practise your plan whenever you feel worried this week.
