Opening the ayah…
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ ۖ لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌۭ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌۭ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ
Huwa -lladhī 'anzala mina ssamā'i mā'an . llakum mmin'hu sharābun wamin'hu shajarun fīhi tussīmūna
It is He who sends down rain from the sky: from it ye drink, and out of it (grows) the vegetation on which ye feed your cattle.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah sends down rain from the sky; you drink from it, and from it grow the plants where you graze your animals.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where does the water in your tap come from?"
A short clip on Muslim Ummah recites ayah 10 of An-Nahl. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things come from rain?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would happen without rain?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 10. Rain gives us drinking water and grows plants for animals to eat. Every drink and every meal begins with rain from Allah.
Fact: Most of the fresh water we drink began as rain or snow. Find out how water gets to your tap.
Ages 5–8: Rain gauge. Put a jar outside and measure the rain.
Ages 9–12: Water journey. Draw how rain becomes your drinking water.
Finish with: "Water gets to my tap by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will turn off the tap while brushing my teeth."
Action: Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
