What is Aya & Yusuf: Teamwork about?
Aya & Yusuf: Teamwork is an Islamic animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which the twins Aya and Yusuf, Mama and their animal friends plant a crop in the garden and find out that everything is better when we work together.
The twins are busy with a game of make-believe, dressed as a hero and an astronaut, when Mama calls them to help her in the garden. There are a great many seeds to plant, and at first the twins would rather keep playing. "One seed down, about a thousand to go."
In their game, though, they find they can only beat the villain by working as a team. The same is true in the garden. Mama explains that we are stronger as a team and weaker when we are divided and drawn apart, and that working together is more fun, too.
So the twins go and help. With Mama, the twins and their animal friends all working side by side, the planting that looked endless gets done much faster than Mama could have managed alone. By the end of the day, everyone agrees: it is always better to do things together than alone, and teamwork is the key to reaching a goal.
The episode ends with the twins' bedtime prayer of thanks, for the big gifts and the small, and asking to be gentle and strong, to do what is right and mend what is wrong.
