Opening the ayah…
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّۭا
Fawarabbika lanaḥ'shurannahum' wa shshayāṭīna thumma lanuḥ'ḍirannahum' ḥaw'la jahannama jithiyyan
So, by thy Lord, without doubt, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Evil Ones (with them); then shall We bring them forth on their knees round about Hell;
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah swears He will gather the deniers along with the devils, and bring them around Hell, on their knees.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does Allah tell us about the Day before it comes?"
Yasser Al-Dosari recites Maryam on OneUmmah. A few minutes is plenty.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will be gathered with the deniers?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make sure I'm with the good on that Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 68. This is a serious warning, told calmly. Those who followed Shaytan will be gathered with him. Believers who follow Allah will be safe, in shaa Allah.
Fact: Find the ayah about the righteous being gathered as honoured guests (19:85).
Ages 5–8: Good company. Talk about choosing good friends.
Ages 9–12: With whom? Write how friends affect where we end up.
Finish with: "I found it in ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will spend time with friends who remind me of Allah."
Action: Spend time with friends who remind you of Allah.
