4-I guide
…laughing and full of joy.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "When did you last laugh so much your tummy hurt?"
Watch the Disney Jr. video "Baby Animals at Play".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How do these faces feel?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will make them so happy?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 39. The key words dahikah mustabshirah mean laughing, rejoicing at good news. The believers will receive wonderful news on that Day.
Fact: Why do young animals play?
Ages 5–8: Joy jar. Write or draw things that make you happy and put them in a jar.
Ages 9–12: Play science. Find out what young animals learn by playing (hunting, friendship, balance).
Finish with: "I found that animals play to ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share good news or a happy moment with my family."
Action: Share good news or a happy moment with your family.
