The early Ramadan holiday this year brings good news for all families across Indonesia! Based on a joint decision by the government as outlined in a Joint Circular Letter (SEB) regarding Learning during Ramadan 2026, schools will be closed from February 18 to 21, 2026.

This moment is a golden opportunity for parents to strengthen their bond with their little ones. However, we also understand that there may be some concerns: “What if the kids just play with their gadgets all day or don't know what to do during the break?”

Don’t worry, parents. To ensure this free time isn’t wasted on unproductive screen time, let’s explore ways to turn the holiday into an exciting and meaningful adventure!

7 Fun Activity Ideas to Make Your Little One's Ramadan More Colorful

The government strongly encourages filling Ramadan with activities that strengthen character and faith, such as tadarus or short Islamic boarding schools. However, parents can also incorporate other creative activities to make their children's fasting days feel lighter and more enjoyable:

1. Create a Ramadan journal

Encourage your children to write down the unique things they experience each day. From the pride they feel when they successfully wake up for suhoor to the valuable lessons they learn. This is an excellent way to practice gratitude.

2. Experimenting in the kitchen preparing takjil

Parents can also involve their children in preparing iftar menus, such as making kolak or cakes, to strengthen the emotional bond between parents and children.

3. Doing social activities

Your little one can also be invited to donate usable clothes or share takjil with others to instill empathy and sharing from an early age.

4. Exercise with light intensity

Fasting is not an obstacle to staying fit. Activities such as afternoon walks or light exercises before breaking the fast are light exercise options to maintain physical fitness.

5. Sharpen creativity with crafts

Invite children to make Ramadan or Eid al-Fitr themed wall decorations or arrange simple gift baskets. This is excellent for their motor skills and imagination development.

6. Improve literacy

Read books together or listen to stories full of wisdom and inspiration. Stories about the courage and compassion of historical figures can be real role models for children's character development.

7. Games that train logic and are educational

In addition to Islamic puzzles or religious quizzes, parents can invite their children to play games that train logic and cooperation. This is in line with the development of critical thinking skills that are important for their future.

The month of Ramadan is a crucial moment to align children's time with productive and educational activities. With the regulations issued by the government, children have time to study independently at home, participate in activities that strengthen their faith, worship, and academics. Thus, spiritual and intellectual aspects can go hand in hand.

Turn Screen Time into Real Results with Codero

In their free time, instead of letting your children sleep, play aimlessly with gadgets, or wait idly for breaking fast, why not invite them to become creators of technology?

This Ramadan, Codero presents a special program designed to fill your little ones' time before breaking fast in a different way. In just one hour in the afternoon, children can learn to assemble logic through coding, try out the world of robotics, and experiment with smart technology through activities that are very child-friendly.

Why is Codero's Ramadan program suitable for children?

• The timing is right: It's only one hour before breaking the fast, so that children won't feel tired.

• Learning while playing: Using exciting applications, so your little one feels like they are on an adventure.

• Building confidence: Imagine how proud your child will be when they successfully show off their own digital creations to their parents at iftar!

Let's make Ramadan 2026 a moment for children to leap from being mere users to proud young innovators.
