Ages 5–8: Defence game. Play a game where a goalkeeper blocks balls labelled with bad habits.

Finish with: "I found that the two surahs are ___."

Talk together:

• What does it mean to treat someone as an enemy here?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Which trick is hardest for you to spot?
• How does remembering Allah protect us?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?
