📅 2026-10-20 · ⏱️ 3 min read · 📂 Ramadan

Children remember Ramadan by how it feels. Here are ten ideas for preparing kids for Ramadan so it becomes the highlight of their year.

1. Countdown calendar: mark the days until Ramadan with small activities.
2. Decorate together: lanterns, lights and a Ramadan corner.
3. Practice fasts: older children can try half-day fasts, depending on age and health.
4. Quran goal: finish a section of the Qaida, a new surah or a juz. See first surahs for kids.
5. Good deed jar: one slip a day: help a sibling, give charity, call grandparents.
6. Charity box: let children save coins to donate.
7. Iftar helpers: give kids a small job: dates, water, setting the table.
8. Story time: a short Prophet story every night. See stories of the Prophets.
9. Family Taraweeh: pray a few rak'ahs together at home.
10. Eid countdown: make the last ten nights special with extra duas and small surprises.
