The Back to School campaign's activities include a variety of ‘Story of Jassim', where the story is distributed among the children to see the pictures and then write the correct number on the appropriate image, the parents can read the sentence, and ask the children to indicate the appropriate image in order to arrange the story. The aim of the stories is to introduce the student to the steps taken by Jassim on the first day of school.
There is also an interrogative activity that contains pictures of the verbs so that the child is asked what he sees from the images and explains them by himself in correct sentences.
Another activity was also devoted to the accuracy of observation through a picture (Jassim) with friends in school and the child is required to find the five differences between the two images.

She added that she is preparing her son and train him to sleep early during the last days of the annual leave to wake up early to go to school with enthusiasm and being active. She also makes him participate in some language activities in order to preserve his mother tongue (Arabic).
