Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. Asr If your child picks Eid, say Eid is a festival, not a daily prayer. Point to the prayers in order and find the gap.

2. Rinse mouth If your child picks a step that is not in wudu, read the chain aloud. Ask what comes after washing hands.

3. Look for: The word pillars. If your child is stuck, read the five words in the picture together. Ask what we call these five big duties.

B

1. Eid prayer If your child circles Wash hands, read the chain from the start. Ask what the family does after giving the gift.

C

1. At the Eid prayer: Stand in rows with others, Pray together in a big group · Before the Eid prayer: Give Zakat ul-Fitr to poor people, Pack rice for a poor family If your child puts the gift in the prayer column, ask: did the family give it before they went to pray?

2. Eid ul-Fitr → The Festival of Breaking the Fast; Zakat ul-Fitr → A gift of food for people who are poor; Allahu Akbar → God is the Greatest If your child joins Zakat ul-Fitr to the Festival, read the word Zakat aloud. Ask what a gift of food is for.

3. People who do not have much food If your child circles the family's own children, remind them the gift is for people who are poor, so everyone can celebrate.

4. 1 Put on best clothes · 2 Give Zakat ul-Fitr · 3 Pray the Eid prayer together · 4 Say Eid Mubarak to friends If your child puts the prayer before the gift, read the Zakat ul-Fitr card again. The gift is given before the Eid prayer.

D

1. Look for: The gift (Zakat ul-Fitr) is given before the Eid prayer. If your child says the prayer comes first, reread the lesson line about giving before the Eid prayer. Gift first, then prayer.

E

1. Look for: A good answer says sharing lets everyone join the celebrations, so nobody is left out.

Words to use

Say“Who might be left out of the fun? How could a gift help them join in?”

Instead of“Tell them Eid is only about presents and new clothes.”

After the sheet
