Ramadan is the month of fasting that followers of Islam celebrate across the world. While kids don't need to fast, they usually do have a lot of fun sitting down with the family to try the special dishes made during Iftar - the meal had at the time of breaking the fast at sunset.
There are many ways in which kids can be involved during this Holy Month too. One thing that is emphasized the most during Ramadan is charity, and being kind to others. It is also about refraining from lying, and other bad deeds.
