Opening the ayah…
ٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ
Allahu yaḥ'kumu bay'nakum' yaw'ma l-qiyāmati fīmā kuntum' fīhi takh'talifūna
"Allah will judge between you on the Day of Judgment concerning the matters in which ye differ."
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will settle what you disagreed about.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who settles disagreements in a game?"
Try a little of Maher Al-Muaiqly's Al-Hajj from islamicfromjamal, and follow along.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When will Allah judge?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why can I leave some arguments to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hajj is surah 22. Find ayah 69. Not every disagreement has to be won now. Allah will settle them fairly. That frees us to be calm and kind.
Fact: Which name of Allah means the Judge? (Al-Hakam.).
Ages 5–8: Let it go. Make a paper boat labelled 'leave it to Allah' and float it.
Ages 9–12: Calm hearts. Write why leaving it to Allah brings peace.
Finish with: "I found the Judge is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will let go of one argument."
Action: Let go of one argument.
