Sikhi Summer

Sikhi Summer is a free, self-paced set of daily summer activities for kids ages 5–12. Each day pairs a Sikh story or Sakhi with a Shabad, a coloring sheet or craft, and a simple hands-on activity — no sign-up and no cost. Do a day whenever you like over the holidays.

A little and often works best. Sikhi Summer gives you one gentle, 15-minute thing to do together each day — a story, a line of Gurbani with its meaning, and something to make or do. Over the school holidays it builds a warm, lasting foundation without feeling like more school.

It has the spirit of a Sikh summer camp — themed weeks, activities, crafts and a progress passport — but you do it at home, at your own pace, for free. There is nothing to book and no fixed times, so it works around your family’s summer.

Yes — completely free and open. No sign-up, no login, no ads. Every story, Shabad, coloring sheet and activity is right here for any family to use, any time.

No. It is self-paced — do a day whenever you like, skip around, or take a break and come back. Each day stands on its own, so you never have to "catch up."

Ages 5–12. Every day has a quick "younger / older" tip so the same idea fits a 5-year-old and a 12-year-old in the same family.

No. Everything is in English. Gurbani comes with transliteration so your child can say it, and a kid-friendly meaning so they can understand it. A tiny optional Gurmukhi letter each day helps them start reading too — but it's never required.

About 15 minutes for the core. Each day is a menu, not a checklist — pick two or three activities, and do more only if your child is enjoying it.

Over the journey, a warm foundation in Sikhi: the One Creator, the ten Gurus, core values, the Khalsa, the meaning of Gurbani, and how Sikhi is lived — festivals, the Gurdwara and sewa.
