Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do teams wear different colours?"

Watch the SherikAyman kids TV video Every Choice Matters.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is told to stand apart?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do my choices decide which group I am in?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ya-Sin is surah 36. Find ayah 59. The key word imtazu means separate yourselves. In this world good and bad people live side by side. On that Day they are sorted, like grain separated from chaff. Our choices each day decide which side we will be on, and the door to change stays open while we live.

Fact: What is the light outer husk of grain called when it is separated by the wind?

Ages 5–8: Sorting game. Sort a mix of beans and rice into two bowls.

Ages 9–12: Choice chart. Track good and poor choices for three days and see which side grows.

Finish with: "I found that the husk is called ___."

Talk together:

• Why will people be sorted on that Day?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do small choices add up?
• How can we change sides while we are alive?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will choose one good habit and stick to it daily."

• Keep one good habit.
• Play the sorting game.
• Share your choice chart.
• Next time: the next ayah (36:60) reminds us of an old promise about Shaytan. Explore it together!

Action: Choose one good habit and stick to it daily.
