Ramadan 2021- Charts to print and save
RAMADAN 2021- Engaging with Kids
I cannot believe my kids are old enough to have conversations about Ramadan, and one is even fasting with me!
- Ramadan chore chart or a progress chart keeps the kids engaged, accountable and understanding what expectations there are in Ramadan. My middle guy, Ilyas, is in KG and loves stickers and incentives, and my older one is competitive and loves winning (birth order is a real thing). See above. You can save and print that for your home.
The more neutral/boy version is below, so take your pick.
2. Include them in some decor- I want the kids to be excited about it the way I was. I still remember endless drawing and coloring of fanoos’s (lanterns), making goodie bags for Sunday School, my father getting toys and books for us. For decor this year, we shopped around the house and my in-laws house where we lived and had some boxes. They found an old frame I bought a long time ago, a painting I bought from the masjid I ended up re-framing, balloon and balloon machine, and a few other things I purchased from Etsy by gupshupgreetings and littlemeccapress. One of my closest friends from college also has a beautiful page TheArtisanYou. I also was really lucky to have the opportunity to go to a local artists shop and create a ramadan countdown in the Princeton area that you can totally do with some regular paint, chalk paint, stencil and wood you purchase.
When it comes to eid planning, include the kids in the planning stages.
