Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How can we become better at noticing our blessings?"

Watch the TheKiddleystudio video Gratitude For Kids.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many times has this question been asked in the surah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Can anyone count all of Allah's blessings?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rahman is surah 55. Find ayah 77. The key word ala' means blessings. This is the thirty-first and last time the question is asked. From food and water to stars, seas, family and Jannah, the surah has shown blessing after blessing. The answer a believer gives is: none of them, our Lord, we deny none of Your favours.

Fact: How many times does the question appear in Surah Ar-Rahman?

Ages 5–8: Blessing chain. Make a paper chain with one blessing written on each link.

Ages 9–12: Surah map. List every blessing mentioned in Surah Ar-Rahman in order.

Finish with: "I found that the question appears ___ times."

Talk together:

• Why do you think the question is repeated so many times?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Which blessing from this surah touched you most?
• How can we answer this question with our actions?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will write three blessings in a notebook every night."

• Write three blessings nightly.
• Make a blessing chain.
• Share your surah map.
• Next time: the last ayah (55:78) blesses the name of your Lord. Explore it together!

Action: Write three blessings in a notebook every night.
