As Ramadan 2026 approaches, families are getting ready for a season of reflection and togetherness. For parents, Ramadan UAE is a special time, but it also brings the unique challenge of keeping children entertained and occupied, especially during the long afternoons while adults may be fasting. Finding the right balance between spiritual calm and keeping active kids happy is key. We have put together a guide of creative ramadan activities in dubai that you can set up right in your living room. And, because we know parenting is exhausting (especially while fasting!), we have also included convenient alternatives at Gogo Village for those days when you just want someone else to handle the preparation and cleanup.
🌱The “Patience Pot” Gardening Project
One of the most beautiful lessons of Ramadan is patience (Sabr). You can teach this at home with a simple gardening activity.
Do it at home: Take empty yogurt containers, fill them with soil, and plant fast-growing seeds like cress or beans. Have your children water them daily and track the growth. It is a quiet, low-energy activity that teaches them that good things take time.
Too messy? Come to us: If you don’t have the space or supplies, our dedicated gardening activity is the perfect solution. We provide the soil, seeds, and pots in a guided environment where kids can get their hands dirty without you having to clean up the mud afterwards.
🛝The Living Room Obstacle Course
Kids have boundless energy that doesn’t pause for Ramadan. Burning that energy indoors is essential as the temperatures rise.
Do it at home: Create a “laser maze” using yarn or tape across a hallway, or use sofa cushions to build a tunnel. Challenge your kids to navigate the course without touching the “lasers.” It is a great way to facilitate activities during ramadan that keep them physically active.
Need more space? Come to us: If you are worried about your furniture or simply don’t have the room, bring them to Gogo Village. Our toddlers access area is safe for the little ones, while our villagers access offers large-scale climbing and physical play structures designed to burn off maximum energy in a cool, safe environment.
🎨Creative Arts & Crafts Hour
Art is a wonderful way to keep children focused and quiet.
Do it at home: You can make salt dough using flour, salt, and water to create moon and star ornaments. Once baked and cooled, let the kids paint them. It is one of the classic activities during ramadan in dubai households that sparks creativity.
Want a guided session? Come to us: If the idea of flour all over your kitchen floor is too stressful, check out our workshop schedule. We host structured art sessions where kids can create Ramadan-themed crafts with professional supervision, and you get to take the masterpiece home without the mess.
🎉Celebrating Together
Sometimes you want to gather friends and family for a celebration, but hosting during Ramadan can be daunting. Whether you are planning a birthday or a get-together, you don’t have to do it all yourself. We find that many families prefer a local spot that handles everything A to Z. Our gogo party service offers both indoor and outdoor options, allowing you to host a memorable event without the stress of hosting at home.
