Opening the ayah…
وَمَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍۢ وَلَٰكِن ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
Wa mā ʻalā-lladhīna yattaqūna min' ḥissābihim mmin shay''in walākin dhik'rā laʻallahum' yattaqūna
On their account no responsibility falls on the righteous, but (their duty) is to remind them, that they may (learn to) fear Allah.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Righteous people do not carry the blame of the mockers, but they should remind them so that they may become mindful of Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can a kind reminder change someone?"
Here is the reciter on NgajiBareng04 of ayat 61–70. Take turns pausing it and saying one thing you noticed.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should the righteous do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why remind if they aren't responsible?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-An'am is surah 6. Find ayah 69. We are not blamed for others' choices, but we care about them. A gentle reminder might help someone change.
Fact: Al-A'la 87:9 says remind if the reminder benefits.
Ages 5–8: Gentle words. Practise a kind reminder: 'Let's not say that.'
Ages 9–12: Remind well. Write tips for giving a reminder kindly.
Finish with: "We remind with ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will give one kind reminder."
Action: Give one kind reminder.
