Ramadan is Here! Mothers everywhere are trying to find a way to create a significant and worthwhile Ramadan experience for their children. Therefore, I’m here to tell you that you can create lasting and beautiful memories of Ramadan for your children with these easy and simple and interesting activities!
For some of the mothers, the lead up to Ramadan can be a little hectic.
Whilst we are excited at the prospect of entering this blessed month, it can also be a time of worry and
anxiety: Will I be able to fast during the day? Will I have enough energy to take care of my children? Will I able
to make it?
And that is what its blog post is all about – Simple, easy activities that you can do with your children during the
holy month of Ramadan. It can be easily done with things you already have in your home.
I have my 8 year old in mind when writing this, but there’s so many ideas in this post this could range from babies
right up to children 10 years old. So here they are some ways to get kids involved in Ramadan.
Use Ramadan activity books in order to keep them busy.
Have a Ramadan Party.
Wear traditional garments – get your children to wear traditional garments for a day. It can be traditional cultural dress or even modest Islamic dress.
Get them involved in Suhoor. If it is too early for them to wake up, let them have a suhoor meal at breakfast time.
Set the scene – do everything just as you would during suhoor so they can experience it.
Ask them to help choose their eid clothes- try to purchase these before Ramadan, get them to try them on before Eid,
and ask them to get accessories ready.
Encourage good deeds or make good deed sticks.
Increase knowledge together, watch (child appropriate) lectures on Youtube.
Create Create an iftar box. If your kids have started fasting or even if they’re doing part fasts, start an iftar box with them, it’s a great motivator to get to iftar time so they can enjoy all the treats they’ve packed.
Take them to the masjid when you can. If they’re up and can manage, take them for Taraweeh prayers one.
