Before you dive into the actual activities for each surah, spend some time reciting the surah together. In this case, recite the final part of Surah Maeda, starting at ayah 82 and the first 110 ayahs of Surah Anaam. If this is not possible, listen to the surah on a digital device. Since we will be recreating our masjid experience, we be listening to Mishari Rashid on our Quran explorer App.
For the full guide to how best use these Juz specific activities, please check out the main page of the Quran Activities for kids.
Surah Maeda
Surah Maeda contains several laws such as (5:89) what to do when you break an oath, and the prohibition of (5:90) alcohol, gambling, sacrificing to the idols, and the arrows used to draw lots. If you children are old enough to understand this, you may wish to have them read the Ayah and use it as a discussion starter.
For younger children, we will do a simple exercise or defining Islamic laws and creating House Rules based on these laws.
The Table: Al-Maeda
The actual name of the Surah comes from Ayah 114 -115 when the people of Isa asked him to make the Dua for a table of food to come down from the heavens. Allah granted the Dua and sent food for the disciples. Download the worksheet HERE. In this activity, kids will be asked to collect pictures of food items from old magazines, grocery store ads, or the Internet to create a table to feast from. This is for pretend đ but if you would like to make a few of those items of iftar, Iâm sure theyâll appreciate it. Of course the second part is optional, but if the kids are fasting, and itâs feasible, it may add an extra element to the activity that theyâll remember inshallah.
Surah Al-Anaam
Letter Path
Download the activity worksheet HERE. This activity is a little different, so parents, please take a look at the answer key in case your child needs some assistance. For this activity the child will need to reference the Quran (Ayah 83-86) to find out the three things prophet Ibrahim spoke about before telling his people about the oneness of Allah (SWT). They will use those words to help them solve the letter path puzzle.
Who Is It?
This activity based on Ayah 83-86 will help children to identify words or names when they hear the Quran recited out loud. For this activity it is best if you have multiple children and they can race against each other. But if youâre doing this we just one child, join in and let them compete against you. In the above mentioned ayahs, The names of 18 prophets are mentioned. Play the ayahs on a digital device or you may choose to recite the ayahs yourself. Have the children write down all the names of the Prophets that they hear. The child with the most correct names, wins a small prize.
Modification for younger children:
If the children are smaller, you can play the ayahs a couple times or ask them to just recount which prophet names they heard.
Please remember this isnât meant to be a test, but rather just a fun activity and possibly an introduction to the Prophets mentioned (if they have not yet learned about these prophets).
