Today's mini-lesson
Before the Eid prayer, Muslim families give Zakat al-Fitr — a gift of food or money for people in need.
It is given for every person in the household, even the babies, so that everyone can enjoy Eid.
Grown-ups pay it, but children can help count, carry and give.

Count our family
Count everyone who lives in your home together — that's how many shares of Zakat al-Fitr your family gives.
Pack a food basket
If your masjid collects food, help pack a basket of staple foods like rice, flour or dates. If your family gives money, help count it out and hand it over.
