Opening the ayah…
وَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ فَأَىَّ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ
Wa yurīkum' 'āyātihī fa'ayya 'āyāti -llahi tunkirūna
And He shows you (always) His Signs: then which of the Signs of Allah will ye deny?
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
He keeps showing you His signs, so which of Allah's signs will you reject?
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How many signs of Allah have you seen today?"
Watch the Noah and Aisyah video Stars of Allah's Creation.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah keep showing us?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do some people ignore so many signs?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ghafir is surah 40. Find ayah 81. The key word ayatihi means His signs. This surah has shown us many signs: rain, night and day, the earth and sky, our own bodies, animals and ships. Allah keeps showing them every day. The ayah asks: with so many signs, which one could anyone honestly deny?
Fact: Which surah repeats the question? Which of your Lord's favours will you deny?
Ages 5–8: Sign count. Count signs of Allah on a short walk and keep a tally.
Ages 9–12: Signs in Ghafir. List every sign of Allah mentioned in Surah Ghafir.
Finish with: "I found that the surah is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will write down one new sign of Allah each day."
Action: Write down one new sign of Allah each day.
