4-I guide
After the good news for those who do good, woe on that Day to those who deny.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do birds know which way to fly when they migrate?"
Watch the SciShow Kids video Migrations: Big Animal Trips.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is warned again?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make sure I'm heading the right way?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mursalat is surah 77. Find ayah 45. This is the eighth time the line about the deniers appears. It comes right after the good news in ayat 41–44. Like birds that know where they're going, we can choose the path to our best home.
Fact: How far do some geese fly when they migrate?
Ages 5–8: Flight map. Draw a bird's journey from a cold place to a warm place.
Ages 9–12: V formation. Find out why geese fly in a V shape.
Finish with: "I found that geese fly in a V because ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help a friend or sibling with a good habit."
Action: Help a friend or sibling with a good habit.
