Start with bismillah.

Watch a kettle boil (with an adult). Ask: "What makes the bubbles? Would you drink it straight away?"

Watch the USGS video about the Grand Prismatic Spring, a huge, colourful boiling spring.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What kind of spring does this ayah mention?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can water come out of the ground already boiling?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ghashiyah is surah 88. Find ayah 5. The key words 'aynin aniyah mean a boiling spring.

Fact: What heats the water in Yellowstone's hot springs?

Ages 5–8: Hot and cold. Feel a cup of warm water and a cup of cold water (not hot!). Which steams? Draw both.

Ages 9–12: Colour code. Find out why Grand Prismatic Spring has rings of blue, green, yellow and orange. What does each colour tell us about the temperature?

Finish with: "I found that hot springs are heated by ___."

Talk together:

• Why does Allah describe the Fire so we can understand it?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What cool, sweet spring does Allah promise the believers (look at ayah 12)?
• What can we do now to be among the people of the cool spring?
• How do you feel when you drink cool water on a hot day?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say alhamdulillah every time I drink water."

• Say bismillah and alhamdulillah with every drink.
• Show someone your hot-and-cold drawings.
• Read ayah 12 together and compare the two springs.
• Next time: the next ayah (88:6) is about a bitter, thorny plant. Explore it together!

Action: Say alhamdulillah every time you drink water.
