Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What keeps a traveller going?"
Put on Islam Sobhi's Al-Kahf from Islam Sobhi Recitations and follow along for a little while.

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did he keep travelling?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Kahf is surah 18. Find ayah 89. Dhul-Qarnayn kept going to help people in many lands. Doing good isn't a one-time thing; it's a journey.
Fact: How many continents are there? Name them.
Ages 5–8: Keep going. Do one more good deed after finishing one.
Ages 9–12: Journey of good. Write why we keep doing good.
Finish with: "There are ___ continents."

Action: Do a good deed every day.
