1. • • Transliteration: Alhamdulillah
     • Translation: All praise and thanks are due to Allah.
2. Interactive Learning:
   • Children will repeat the dua after the instructor multiple times to ensure proper pronunciation and memorization.
   • Use visual aids, such as flashcards with the Arabic text, transliteration, and translation, to help with learning.
3. Storytelling:
   • Share a simple story about a person who always remembers to say “Alhamdulillah” and how this gratitude brings them peace and happiness. This contextualizes the importance of the dua in their daily lives.
4. Craft Activity:
   • Each child will create a gratitude jar. They will decorate their jar and write down things they are thankful for on small pieces of paper to put inside. This helps to reinforce the habit of thankfulness and gives them a visual reminder of their blessings.
5. Group Recitation:
   • Conclude the session with a group recitation of the dua, ensuring that everyone feels confident and comfortable with it.

By the end of this activity, children will have learned the dua of thankfulness and understand its significance in expressing gratitude to Allah for all His blessings.

Notes for Parents:

• Encourage your child to practice the dua at home, especially when they feel thankful.
• All materials for the craft activity will be provided by the camp.

We hope this activity will help instill a habit of gratitude in the children and remind them to always thank Allah for His blessings.
