Secondary Homeroom Bulletin – Term 2, Week 2

Please focus on the wellbeing topic and ensure that it is being discussed daily. Parents are free to choose any of the suggested activities outlined below that best suit their child or develop their own activities for the topic area. Topic: Learning to love Sadaqa (Charity) During the month of Ramadan, boundless opportunities exist to help kids understand why and how to help people in need, with food drives proliferating and countless organizations making pitches to feed the needy in Australia and overseas. Although it may make more sense for parents to want to facilitate their kids’ generosity by making donations on their behalf, it might be more effective in the long run for kids to have some input into the charity giving. Research shows that not involving teenagers in the conversation around such choices leads them to quickly feel as if the act of charity is being forced on them – kind of like homework. The Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) said: “To smile in the company of your brother is charity. To command to do good deeds and to prevent others from doing evil is charity. To guide a person in a place where he cannot get astray is charity. To remove troublesome things like thorns and bones from the road is charity. To pour water from your jug into the jug of your brother is charity. To guide a person with defective vision is charity for you.” (Bukhari)

1). Cut out all of the

playing cards and number

cards. Fold the number

cards along the dotted

line (one side should

show a number and the

other side should show

the money bag). Reopen

the cards and put glue

inside. Reclose the card.

2). Shuffle the number

cards and place them

face down on the table

for floor.

3). Shuffle the sadaqah

cards and divide them

among each player

evenly (if possible). Any

left over cards can be

set aside insha’Allaah.

from the stack.

Whichever number they

pick they have to give

that number of cards

(of their choosing) to

the player on their

right.

When a player picks this card, he/she has the right to decline accepting cards from any

player who offers their cards to him/her. They have the option to choose another

player who will receive the cards they have declined and this player must take the

cards. They can decline only once so they must choose wisely when to use the

“Sadaqah! Sadaqah!” card. Once they have declined another player’s cards once, they

must put the “Sadaqah! Sadaqah!” card back into the number stack at the bottom or

in a random spot in the deck.
