Opening the ayah…
لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَٰفِعُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّۭى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَآ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ
Lakum' fīhā manāfiʻu 'ilā 'ajalin mmussamman thumma maḥilluhā 'ilāl-bay'ti l-ʻatīqi
In them ye have benefits for a term appointed: in the end their place of sacrifice is near the Ancient House.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The animals bring benefits for a set time, and in the end they are offered close to the Ancient House.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do animals give us before Eid?"
Try a little of Yasser Al-Dosari's Al-Hajj from Al-A'raf Studio, and follow along.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where is their place in the end?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How should we treat animals?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hajj is surah 22. Find ayah 33. Before sacrifice, animals give milk, wool and help. Islam teaches kindness to them all their life. Ask your teacher about the rules of udhiyah.
Fact: What is udhiyah?
Ask your teacher what it means.
Ages 5–8: Animal gifts. Draw what goats and camels give us.
Ages 9–12: Kindness rules. Write ways to be kind to animals.
Finish with: "I found udhiyah means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will care for an animal or put out water for birds."
Action: Care for an animal or put out water for birds.
