Objective

By the end of this lesson, Yahya will learn about the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) and how his experiences can relate to the concepts of science, such as dreams, emotions, and problem-solving. Yahya will also engage in fun activities that connect science with storytelling.

Materials and Prep

• Paper and colored pencils or crayons
• A comfortable space to sit and draw
• A quiet area for storytelling
• Knowledge of the story of Prophet Yusuf (can be summarized or told in simple terms)

Activities

1. Storytime and Discussion

   Begin by telling Yahya the story of Prophet Yusuf. Discuss the main events, focusing on his dreams and how they influenced his life. Ask Yahya how he feels about Yusuf's experiences and what he thinks about dreams.

2. Dream Drawing

   Yahya will draw a picture of one of Yusuf's dreams. Encourage him to use his imagination and create a colorful representation of what he thinks Yusuf saw in his dreams.

3. Emotion Charades

   Yahya will act out different emotions that Yusuf might have felt throughout his story (like happiness, sadness, and fear). This will help him understand how emotions play a role in our lives and stories.

4. Problem-Solving Challenge

   Discuss some challenges that Yusuf faced and ask Yahya how he would solve them. This activity will encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
