4-I guide
For those who reject it, it will one day become a source of deep sorrow.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Do you know the story of the ant and the grasshopper?"
Watch the BoBo Kids video The Ant and the Grasshopper. (It has music.)
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the Quran become for the deniers?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be like the ant and not the grasshopper?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 50. The key word hasrah means deep regret. In the fable, the grasshopper played all summer and was sorry in winter. Those who ignore the Quran will feel sorrow later. Getting ready now brings joy.
Fact: How do real ants store food for winter?
Ages 5–8: Ant work. Draw the ant carrying food and the grasshopper playing. Which one is ready?
Ages 9–12: Real ants. Find out how some ants store food in their nests.
Finish with: "I found that ants store food by ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one task early instead of leaving it for later."
Action: Do one task early instead of leaving it for later.
