Ramadan Family Activities

For this activity you will need a pack of balloons, post-its (or any piece of paper), and a marker. On each post-it write an activity or something the family will do together. Then fold up the post it, put it inside the balloon. Make 30 of these and put one inside each balloon. Then, after Iftar, every night someone from the family gets to pick a balloon and pop it. For example, one day the little brother gets to pop one ballon, the next day the father gets to pop another balloon.

 If someone pops a ballon and the post-it says, "Share a hadeeth," everyone in the family must share one Hadeeth.

here are some suggestions and ideas (some activities you can write on the post-it):
1) Share a Hadeeth
2)Recite 1 Surah from the 30th Juz.
3) Everyone will tell each other a story.
4) Eat ice-cream together as a family.
5)Play a game together.
6) Watch a lecture together.

These are just a few activities you can do with your family. You can come up with many more. These activities are meant to help you and your family get closer and build a stronger bond.
Hope you enjoy :)




Iftar Time, by Waresa

Counting the hours, minutes, and seconds
feeling your stomach rumble
waiting for iftar time
"I'm hungry" you mumble

biryani, samosas, chicken and rice, salad, noodles, pasta, 
preparing many varieties of meals
setting the table and making plates,
everything looks ideal 

everyone helps prepare and get ready for iftar time
family and friends gather together for this special feast,
they all break fast together
and eat during Iftar time, happily.

Ramadan, by Waresa

Ramadan
The time of the year
The month has arrived
Filled with blessings and mercy
Which can change our lives

In this month, Ramadan
Your reward increases when you pray
Make your intention to fast everyday
The devils are chained
So it's easy to do
What Allah commands and
What's good for you

Read the Qur'an
For it is the guide for mankind
Which was revealed
At this month, at this time


Ramadan is the month in which we fast
change for the better, and erase the past.
