5 Ramadan Activities to Make Ramadan Memorable for Kids
Message from the writer: "Ramadan is one of the most beautiful times of the year, where family can fill the month with moments of connection, learning and joy. There are ways that parents can create a warm space for children that it may become remarkable for children. Below are five gentle and meaningful activities to help your children experience the spirit of Ramadan in ways they will cherish for years."
1. Create a Ramadan Routine Board
Children flourish with structure, especially during Ramadan when daily routines shift. A simple Ramadan routine board can help them feel involved and excited about the month.
Your board might include
• waking up for Suhoor
• a daily good deed
• a short prayer time
• a Qur’an moment
• family iftar time
Let your child decorate the board and choose their own good deeds. The joy and ownership they feel becomes part of their Ramadan memory. Younger children can place stickers or drawings, while older children can write their reflections.
2. Bring Salah to Life with the Interactive Kids Prayer Mat
Ramadan is a beautiful time to help children build a love for Salah. The Smart Interactive Kids Prayer Mat is a wonderful tool for this, especially for visual or hands on learners. It guides children through every step of prayer in a simple, gentle way.
With one press they can
• hear the correct recitations
• follow the positions
• learn the names of each step
• feel confident praying on their own
Many parents use the mat during Ramadan after Asr or before Maghrib as a special practice time. It creates a calm space where children learn without pressure. Over the month, their confidence and excitement naturally grow.
3. Story Nights Under the Stars with Ramadan in Space
Ramadan nights are perfect for storytelling. Children learn through imagination and emotion, and the story Ramadan in Space brings both together. It follows Hamzah and Maryam as they discover what it means to pray, fast and worship while travelling across galaxies.
This book
• teaches Islamic values in a fun and adventurous way
• sparks conversations about Salah, gratitude and kindness
• creates memories children will ask for again next year
Try reading a few pages each evening after Isha. You can even dim the lights, use a little lantern and create a “Ramadan story corner” your children will fall in love with.
4. Learn About the Companions with the 10 Promised Paradise Wall Art
Ramadan is a perfect opportunity to introduce children to the beloved people to Rasulullah SAW. The 10 Promised Paradise Interactive Wall Art makes this learning simple and memorable. With one press, children can hear the story of each companion in a child friendly, gentle audio.
This activity helps children
• learn about courage, honesty and generosity
• connect with real Muslim role models
• understand the history behind their faith
You can make it a Ramadan tradition. Each night your child can choose one companion to listen to and then share one thing they learned. These stories become part of their Ramadan heart memories.
5. Build a Daily Qur’an Moment with the My Quran Pad
Ramadan is the month of the Qur’an, and even the smallest moments of recitation or learning are full of barakah. The My Quran Pad is a gentle screen free tool that helps children connect with Arabic, letters and beginner words.
Children can
• hear each letter clearly
• practise simple vocabulary
• repeat sounds at their own pace
• build confidence slowly and joyfully
Create a short Qur’an moment after Fajr or before bedtime. It can be just two minutes a day. Over thirty days, these small acts create a deep connection to the Qur’an in a way a child will never forget.
Closing Reflection
Ramadan for children does not need to be complicated. It does not need grand trips or perfect routines. It only needs small, sincere moments that fill their hearts with warmth. A prayer mat they love, a story they remember, a companion they learn about. A Qur’an letter they repeat proudly.
