    I would use the cards when teaching my children wudhu and salaah. One could ask ones child to place it in the correct sequence after completion of lesson. One could ask the child to identify those in incorrect order, or the missing one (after one removes a card from the pack).

    Mashallah the cards look like a wonderful collection to have a muslim home.

  8. mashaAllah I've had the idea to make these type cards and they are already available!I would jumble them up and get children to identify the sequence or I would give each child a card and I would start off by acting out the first part of wudhu or salaah and the child with the next card comes up and acts it out and so forth. InsahAllah it should be a fun and collective activity!

  22. Assalammualaikum sister,
    there are lots of games you can use the cards.
    - You can introduce the children the names of the action. Then you can scramble or spread around the cards, mention the name of the action and the child tries to find it.
    - You can put all the cards align on the floor, the child jumps beside the card and name and perform the action
    - You can teach about the praying sequences. Scramble the cards, and ask the child to order it like you said it
    - You can hide a certain card, and ask the child to guess what card you hid
    - You can play matching games, etc..

    InshaAllah I would use these cards to teach my children the sequence of wudu and salah. They could practice their ordinal numbers in Arabic this way. They could also put in which card is missing from a given sequence of cards. They could pick one of the cards and act it out and the other children would guess which card it is. JazakAllah khair sister.

  25. I would use this with my preschooler since masha'allah he loves to copy us in prayer. This could be a great teaching tool for him to walk him through the specific steps of both wudu and prayer.
    Hope I win insha'allah! :)

  27. As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah mashaAllah this looks great I would use it with my preschooler. I would lay them face down and read the action to him, have him demonstrate and then have him flip to see if he is right, seems like there are lots of ways to use these

  28. Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

    After I have taught kids how to pray, perform wudhoo, etc I will use the cards as a form of revision or reinforcing what they have learned.


    WUDHU CARDS:

    1) Pile cards in order

    2) Put cards behind my back

    3) Pick up first card. Read to kids & show them the picture

    4) Then shout out "WHAT'S NEXT?"

    5) Whoever knows raises their hand and answers.

    6) If they are correct, pick up the next card, read it to them and show them picture

    7) Then shout out "WHAT'S NEXT?"

    8) Continue game until cards finish.

    In another class, repeat with salaah cards.


    And that's how I would use them.

  30. As'salaamu Alayki wa Rahmatullaah

    Maashaa Allaah I have looked at these cards to teach my two preschoolers the actions of Whudu and Salat. Inshaa Allaah I would use these cards for memory game, of the actions in salat and whudu, as well as what du'a to make in each position and each step of whudu. I would also , utilize it to teach them the order of salat and number of positions of rakats, by using it as a number sequence game. You could also help them memeorize how many rakats are in each salat. Match the du'a with the position. There are so many ways to adjust the game, maashaa Allaah. Would love to have it and save on that shipping cost inshaa Allaah, smile.

  31. Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah,
    Oh the possiblilites! MashaAllah The cards are so adoreable, and I think my prechoolers would enjoy them very much InshaAllah. These cards could be used as both a teaching as well as assessment tool.
    - Initally the cards could be used to assess what the children know/think they know in terms of the vocabulary, actions, or sequence.
    for the vocabulary, if you have readers the words could be covered depending on lesson objective
    - They could be used as a game where all cards are scattered in the center and the vocabulary/ action is called out by teacher or 1 student, and everyone else tries to find the picture that matches - again may wish to cover vocab if you have readers depending on the lesson objective
    -play a game where a certain number of the sequence cards are layed out in order with the rest in a pool and the children have to finish the sequence either individially or as a cooperative team
    -lay out all the cards for either wudhu or prayer, prayer times in sequence, have children cover their eyes as you take away, or cover 1 card with something like a piece of opaque paper, and have them guess the missing piece of the sequence, 2 children could play this game with each other alternating turns too
    -Variation of the previous, lay the cards in order, and while the childrens' eyes are closed switch the positon of 2 cards and have the children figure it out
    -play charades
    -ask the kids "what do you say when you do this..." and show them a card.
    -play a guessing game where 1 person describes an action and the rest either perform it, or name it
    -play "simon says"
    -variation for more advanced kids.. "simon says" show me what you do after ___".
    -cover the words at the bottom of the card with a post-it, create separate cards with the same vocabulary (either english or arabic or both) and play a matching game - control of error peeling off the post it.
    -once you've made the above said cards they could be used by themselves as a matching game (english to arabic vocab) using the "what's next" cards as a control.
    -make number cards for number of rakat for each prayer and have the children match
    -use the cards in a pocket chart as an interactive poster/or independent center activity
    -use the prayer times cards in a pocket chart with clock print outs (digital or analog depending on teaching objective) as a poster or reminder for children. I would place this below a wall clock.
    -playing any of these games would be great for a quick rough assessment either of individual students or a small group.
    -there are so many variations that could be done with the above said activities so that different levels, ages, abilities, special needs and learning styles could be accomodated!

  38. AssalamuAlaikum,

    I would get the children (depending on their age range e.g., 6 years & plus) to do the actions of the pictures on the card given to them and get the other children to guess what action the child has done. The children will then have to guess what the next movement will be.

    I'm expecting my first child inshallah and was looking for a website so that inshallah I can give this child the best start in life the way Allah has ordained ameen.. I think these kind of cards and games are amazing. I have lots of lil nieces and nephews and at times explaining these kind of concepts to them is better via games. My own father explained the seerah of the prophet saw, salaat and the life of the sahabas in the form of islamic ladybird books and I still remember the "the stories" I used to read.

  41. As salam u alaikum,

    I have a two year old and a four year old. As an adult who is only learning her religion now, I would use these cards t teach myself the correct terminology regarding wudu and salah. I would use them for my two year old by asking him to put the cards into the correct sequence as he enjoys these sort of activities. With my four year old I would ask her to verbalise the action shown on the card flashed to her.
