The Souk

Souk is Arabic for marketplace or bazaar. It is a place to sell your wears, make

some money, and come together as a community. CMCC will create its own kids’

souk every third Saturday.

Goals:

1. To help our kids learn basic rules of Islamic finance

2. To offer our kids a chance to earn some money and learn the skills

of money management

3. To create a fun and interactive environment for the community to

strengthen bonds and get to know each other better

How to prepare:

1. Help the kids plan what they want to sell – food, resale or retail

goods, crafts, clothing, or???

2. Spend the next few weeks preparing items for sale

3. Prepare marketing materials for the “booth” - table decorations,

signage, etc.

4. Bring money to be able to make change

How it will work:

1. Arrive early enough to set up your booth by 6:00

2. The first 15 minutes or so will be a short explanation of the rules

of the souk

3. The souk will run from 6-8:30 with a break for Isha prayer
