What This Worksheet Covers

This resource gently introduces the idea that habits are small actions we repeat that can bring us closer to Allah and help us become our best selves. Children will:

• Identify helpful and unhelpful daily habits
• Choose one or two small, realistic good habits to focus on
• Plan when and how they will practise their chosen habits
• Track their progress over a week
• Reflect on how their habits make them feel and how they affect others

Inside the Worksheet: Page-by-Page

Page 1: What Is a Habit?

A short explanation in child-friendly language, followed by simple reflection prompts and space to write.

Sample prompts included on the worksheet:

• “A habit is something I do again and again. Some of my everyday habits are:”
  Space for children to list 3–5 examples.
• “Circle the habits that are helpful and put an X on habits that might not be good for me.”

Page 2: Choosing My Good Habits

Guided space for learners to choose one or two small, specific habits to build.

• “One small good habit I want to build is:”
  Several lines for a written answer.
• “Why do I want this habit? How can it please Allah or help others?”
  Short paragraph space for reflection.
• Optional second habit section for advanced learners or older children.

Page 3: My Habit Plan

A simple, visual planning page that helps children think about when, where, and how they will remember their habit.

• “I will try to do this habit:” (in the morning / afternoon / evening)
• “I will remember my habit by:” (linking it to another routine, using a reminder, asking someone to help)
• Space to draw a small picture of themselves practising the habit.

Page 4: 7-Day Habit Tracker

A one-week chart to colour, tick, or place stickers on each time they complete their chosen habit.

• Days of the week across the top
• Two rows (Habit 1 and Habit 2) for flexibility
• Key at the bottom (tick = done, dash = still trying)

Page 5: Reflection and Du'a

Space for children to think about what they learned and to make a short, personal du'a.

• “How did this habit make me feel?” (with sentence starters and lines)
• “How did this habit help the people around me?”
• “One thing I want to keep trying is:”
• A simple du'a prompt such as: “O Allah, help me to keep doing good habits and to leave bad habits. Ameen.”

How to Use This Worksheet

For best results, complete the worksheet together with the child the first time. Talk through each page slowly and allow time for honest answers. Encourage children to choose small, realistic habits (for example, “Say Bismillah before I eat” or “Help tidy the living room for 5 minutes”), rather than large, overwhelming goals.

Display the 7-day tracker somewhere visible, and set a regular time (such as after Maghrib or before bedtime) to review progress. Celebrate effort and intention, not only “perfect” completion.
