This time, instead of doing 3 or 4 different things, we focused on learning just one thing. We learnt how to do wudhu.
I began by demonstrating the steps of wudhu myself. I also showed them pictures from a Darussalam book called 'My Wudu Book'.
Then I asked a few of the kids to come forward and show the rest of us how to do wudhu. I helped them if they missed something and I asked questions while they were demonstrating.
Next we saw an animated video of a boy performing wudhu.

Lastly, we did an activity that reinforced what we had learnt. The wudhu sequence game is a wonderful way to see how much the child remembers and what step comes after each one. You can download the file from this blog. There's a lot more you can find on that page, since the game is part of a wudhu lapbook, which I think is a brilliant activity for kids who are learning to do the wudhu independently.
Here is a picture of the sheets I distributed to each child. It had pictures of the wudhu steps but not in order.
I asked them to arrange the pictures in order on the sheet, show them to me (to confirm if the order was correct), number them and then paste them on the sheet. Then they could colour in the pictures.
After they were done with that, I asked them to flip over the sheet. Four things that nullify wudhu were mentioned on this side. I explained these and then they coloured this as well.
