Ask: "How did people travel from China to the Middle East long ago?"
Watch the TED-Ed video The Silk Road.

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do roads matter so much?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Nuh is surah 71. Find ayah 20. The key words subulan fijaja mean wide paths. Valleys and mountain passes make natural roads. Traders travelled them for thousands of years, resting at caravanserais along the way.
Fact: What goods travelled along the Silk Road?
Ages 5–8: Path map. Draw the path from your home to school or the masjid.
Ages 9–12: Trade route. Trace the Silk Road on a map and list three cities on it.
Finish with: "I found that traders on the Silk Road carried ___."
Talk together:
