After a year of Zoom, I have grown an appreciation for educational instruction through video! So when it was time to share Ramadan resources with my sons’ teachers, I scoured YouTube for the best resources.

I wasn’t able to find a video that shared Ramadan traditions from a kid’s perspective, so I created this “What is Ramadan” for the classroom video and also included two activities for kids.

My favorite Ramadan story is Laila’s Lunchbox: A Ramadan Story by Reem Faruqi. It is a heartwarming story of a little girl unsure of how to tell her teacher and classmates she’s fasting.

Peace and Salam,

Natasha
