Opening the ayah…
فَـَٔاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Fa'ātāhumu -llahu thawāba ddun'yā waḥus'na thawābi l-'ākhirati . wa-llahu yuḥibbu l-muḥ'sinīna
And Allah gave them a reward in this world, and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. For Allah Loveth those who do good.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
So Allah rewarded them in this life and gave them a far finer reward in the next, for He loves people who do good.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can good deeds bring rewards now and later?"
A short clip on Tartil Al-Quran 2.0 recites ayat 141–148 of Ali 'Imran. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "In which worlds were they rewarded?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What reward can good deeds bring now?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 148. Good deeds bring rewards now, like peace and blessings, and the greatest reward later. Allah loves the muhsinin, those who do good beautifully.
Fact: Muhsinin means those who do good beautifully.
Ages 5–8: Good feeling. Notice how doing good makes you feel.
Ages 9–12: Two rewards. Write rewards now and later.
Finish with: "Allah loves the ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one chore extra well."
Action: Do one chore extra well.
