Week 1 · Hello, Sikhi · Day 1
One Creator — Ik Onkar
Today we meet the very first idea in Sikhi — Ik Onkar, One Creator. Everything you see comes from the same One. Start here and the rest of the summer makes sense.
Today's idea
Sikhi begins with one idea: there is One Creator in everyone and everything.

Go & do it Go outside and find five living things — a bird, a tree, an ant, the sun, a person. The same One made them all.
ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ॥
Ik Onkar Sat Naam Kartaa Purakh
“There is One Creator. Truth is the Name. The Maker of all.”
Talk together
Ask: "If one light is in everything, how should we treat people and animals?"
Younger kids: just say "Ik Onkar" together. Older kids: talk about what "one family" means.
