RAMADAN GAMES AND CRAFTS: Mehnaz also uses enjoyable, practical activities as a way of engaging her children with the meaning of Ramadan. “Things like making and decorating a Sadaqa jar [a jar designated for charity donations]; making a good deed tree to inspire kids to do kind acts, as well as crafting decorations like banners, Countdown to Eid activities, and so on.” Mehnaz says that the book ‘My Ramadan Journal Around the World’ is a favourite in her family, as it has 15 characters from around the world talking about Ramadan in their country, followed by a craft activity, recipe or word game that kids can follow.
