Ramadan is on it’s way and I have shared our Ramadan Jar craft over at Multicultural Kid Bloggers to launch our collaborative Ramadan series. A Ramadan jar is a simple Ramadan activity for kids that you can use to hold slips of paper and pick one out each day. One idea is for the slips of paper to contain a good deed to do for the day, another way to use them would be to write a short ayah or hadith on each paper as a reflection for the day, or you can use them to pick out a fun Ramadan craft or activity to do with the children that day.
Today I’m going to share a list of good deed ideas that you can print to cut out and fill up your Ramadan jar. The concept is pretty similar to a jar full of small acts of kindness, so if you are not Muslim and don’t celebrate Ramadan you could adjust this idea to fit your own family better.
30 days of Good Deeds for a Ramadan Jar
- Bake and give food to a neighbour
- Donate money to a charity of your choice
- Help your parents with some extra house work or chores
- Teach something beneficial to a younger sibling or younger family friend
- Recite, or listen to, an extra page of Quran today
- Donate to a food bank
- Choose some of your old toys or clothes that are in good condition, and bring them to a charity shop
- Make sure to smile at everyone today! (Smiling is sadaqa)
- Make a card or note to tell someone you love and appreciate them
- Pick up rubbish from the street and put it into the bin
- Look out for someone lonely at school, and make time to talk and play with them
- Make dua specially for someone
- Go a day without complaining
- Let someone go ahead of you in a line
- Reuse paper when you’re drawing, make an effort not to waste water when washing, and be sure to recycle any packaging instead of throwing in the bin
- Read to a younger sibling or friend
- Extra tasbeeh: Say alhamdulillah 100 times, and reflect on blessings in your life that make you say “alhamdulillah”
- Visit somebody in hospital
- Find opportunities to give genuine compliments throughout the day, and make someone smile
- Give salam to as many people as you can today!

Assalamualaikum,
I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for this wonderful printable. I have downloaded it for 2 years in a row as it is such a great way to encourage my son to do good deeds during Ramadan. He really looks forward to picking out his good deed of the day after suhoor.
