4-I guide
This ayah says in that Garden there is a spring, always flowing.
Start with bismillah.
Pour cool water slowly into a glass. Ask: "What's your favourite drink on a hot day?"
Watch the Florida State Parks video about how springs bring water up from under the ground.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is flowing in the Garden?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Where does spring water come from?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ghashiyah is surah 88. Find ayah 12. The key words 'aynun jariyah mean a running, flowing spring. Compare it with the boiling spring in ayah 5!
Fact: Why is spring water often cool and clear?
Ages 5–8: Mini spring. Push a plastic bottle with a small hole in the bottom into wet sand. Pour water in the top. Watch it come out like a spring.
Ages 9–12: Spring map. Find a spring near where you live (or a famous one). Where does its water come from?
Finish with: "I found that spring water is cool because ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share water by ___."
Action: Put out water for birds.
