Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do we look both ways even on a quiet road?"

Watch the Twinkl video Road Safety for Kids.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why should we not feel careless?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I stay careful without being scared?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 28. The key words ghayru ma'mun mean not something to feel safe from. Even careful drivers stay alert. Believers never become careless with their deeds; they keep hoping and keep doing good.

Fact: What does "stop, look, listen, think" mean when crossing a road?

Ages 5–8: Crossing practice. With an adult, practise stop, look, listen, think at a safe crossing.

Ages 9–12: Safety signals. Find what the green, red and flashing signals mean at a crossing.

Finish with: "I found that before crossing, I should ___."

Talk together:

• Why shouldn't we feel too sure of ourselves?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do hope and carefulness go together?
• What helps you stay alert to doing good?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will stop, look and listen every time I cross a road."

• Stop, look, listen at every crossing.
• Practise crossing with an adult.
• Share what crossing signals mean.
• Next time: the next ayah (70:29) speaks of guarding modesty. Explore it together!

Action: Stop, look and listen every time you cross a road.
