This is a good project for moms to do, decorate and make nice in baskets or something for Muslim neighbors or friends..but I decided to have the kids make Survival Kits for themselves as a reminder of actions during Ramadan and adab.
I talked to the kids first about camping, and what they would take with them to prepare for it. After many ideas, we boiled it down to 5 basic necessities:
1. Food/water
2. Shelter/covering
3. Cleanliness
4. First aid/Emergency
5. Flame (to start fire)
We took those ideas and related them to preparing for Ramadan. Our Ramadan Survival Kit:
Ramadan Survival
Kit Includes:
Candle, Allah is Nooran ala Noor, Light upon Light, light
to ignite our desire to do good and be better this month
Tasbih, our Remembrance of
Allah through prayer and dhikr, use in cases of confusion and emergencies.
Ayatul Kursi use frequently in the
morning and evening, for the Quran is a protection for you.
Dates, eat for instant
energy and nutrition
Mints in case of bad
breath, as a reminder to keep ourselves clean and smelling nice at prayers
Zam Zam, use to purify,
energize, and cleanse inside and out
Reflection
Journal write often to become mindful of your thoughts and actions
the next post i'll show a detail of how to make decal candles ia.
