10 Days of Dhul Hijjah Challenge: Printable Activity Pack for Kids

Are you searching for an easy, engaging way to teach your children about the immense blessings of Dhul Hijjah? Do you want to build excitement for Hajj and Eid al-Adha without spending hours searching for activities?

Barakah Blooms presents the 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah Challenge – a complete, zero-prep digital bundle designed for busy Muslim parents and educators. This pack combines guided video lessons, hands-on worksheets, and creative crafts to bring the spirit of these ten days to life for your little ones.

We know how important these days are. The Prophet ﷺ said they are the best days for good deeds. But explaining concepts like Hajj, the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), and the sacrifice can be challenging for young minds.

That’s why we created this challenge. It’s not just a collection of printables; it’s a complete, day-by-day roadmap to guide your family through a journey of learning, reflection, and fun.
This Challenge is Perfect For:

You get two beautifully designed PDF documents: a step-by-step Parent Guide and a vibrant Kids’ Activity Packet.

Your personal lesson plan! This guide takes all the guesswork out of teaching. Each of the 5 core lessons (spanning 2 days each) includes:

• 📺 Watch Together: Curated links to engaging, kid-friendly YouTube videos (puppet shows, songs, and animations) to introduce each topic.
• 📝 Mini-Lesson Summary: Simple, easy-to-understand summaries for you to read and discuss.
• 💬 Points to Discuss: Targeted questions to check for understanding and spark meaningful conversations with your child.
• 💡 Bonus Hadith: An extra task for older children to memorize the hadith about the virtues of these ten days.

The fun part! These hands-on activities are designed to reinforce the lessons from the guide and keep little hands busy.
