Start with bismillah.

Play the whisper game: one person whispers a short sentence to the next, all the way round the circle. The last person says it out loud. Did it change on the way? Ask: "Can a whisper be good or bad? Can you always tell where it started?"

Watch the video about how our ears turn tiny vibrations in the air into sounds our brain understands.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What kind of whispering do you think this ayah is about?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does the whisperer hide?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nas is surah 114. Find ayah 4. Read the translation carefully. What does the whisperer do after it whispers?

Fact: How does a whisper travel from someone's mouth to your brain?

Ages 5–8: Make a tin-can telephone with two cups and a long string. Whisper into one cup while someone listens at the other. What carries the sound along the string?

Ages 9–12: How far does a whisper go? Stand face to face, then take one step back at a time. Count the steps until you can't hear a whisper, then do the same with a normal voice.

Finish with: "I found that a whisper can be heard from ___ steps away."

Talk together:

• Have you ever had a bad idea creep quietly into your mind? What did you do?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why do you think the whisperer hides instead of showing itself?
• What helps you push a bad idea away?
• Who could you ask to learn more about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, when a bad idea whispers to me, I will ask Allah for protection and then ___."

• Show a younger child how the tin-can telephone works.
• Ask your teacher or an ustaz/ustazah who the whisperer is, and share what you learn at home.
• Next time: the next ayah (114:5) tells us where the whispering goes. Explore it together!

Action: Practise your plan whenever a bad idea comes.
