🎉 Eid Mubarak! 🌙 Some Fun Ideas For Eid ✨

Subhan Allah the last 30 days have gone by so quickly, it's unbelievable... Eid is just round the corner! We wanted to give you a helping hand for Eid - we know that some of you are still going to be social distancing, staying at home with your family, and perhaps wondering what you could do with the kids.

Below we've given you 3 amazing ideas for fun activities! They do involve some prep, but not too much, so we hope you'll enjoy them!

Activity 1 - Eid Sunnah Reminders...

• Perform ghusl (bath) before prayers.
• Eat an odd number of dates.
• Dress up and wear your festive clothes.
• Exchange well-wishes with family members and friends by saying Taqabbalallahu Minna wa Minkum – May Allah accept (the worship) from us and from you.
• However you choose to celebrate Eid, do it as a family. Pray together, eat together, and play together.

Activity 2 - Treasure Hunt

Instructions:

1. Send this message to your friends and family who will be taking part and ask each person to read one clue from the clues grid (download the clues grid by via the button below). Each person then sends you a video of them saying their clue.
2. On Eid day, you go round and put a post-it sticker on all of the answers that each clue leads - for example, if the answer to the first clue is fridge, you would put the post-it sticker on the fridge.
3. When you've received all the clue videos, you then just play each video, in order, from your phone. For each clue, the children go around and find each of the post-stickers..
4. At the end of, they will find the treasure (your choice of treasure, such as sweets). This treasure hunt game will be a great, exciting surprise for your kids and everyone else too!

Activity 3 - Aim to pop the balloon and act out the challenges below...

Ideal for 4 years+.

Write challenges on a piece of paper and insert into different balloons before inflating them. Children will have to bump the balloon in the air until the nasheeds stop. The last person to touch their balloon has to pop it and perform the challenge. Challenges can be anything like:

• Touch your nose with your tongue
• Can you pick up things like a pencil, using your toes?
• Jump like a Kangaraoo
• Tell us a joke
• Find something green
• Hang a spoon off your nose
• Lick your elbow
• Spin around in a circle until you’re dizzy and then try to walk a in straight line
• Can you hold a pencil between your upper lip and your nose?
• Jump in the air and try to click your heels together off to your left or right side
• Wiggle your nose 
• Try to keep the balloon up in the air for one minute
