Responsibility Tree

It's a different table which helps your kid to do more good deeds. For each deed a fruit is chosen and when the kid do that good deed, a star is put on that fruit. Here are good deeds on this tree:

• folding pyjamas
• finishing what is on his dish
• helping mom & dad
• repeating his course
• starting with Basmalah for everything he does

Dot to Dot Activity: Masjid

My son loves very very much to solve dot to dot activities. So I had to make one Islamic dot to dot worksheet for him :) It's from 1 to 90. I hope you and your child enjoy it too.

The picture is from a printable of sister Umm An-Nu'man from this lapbook.

Book: The Five Pillars of İslam

English version of the book I made for my son. It's about "The Five Pillars of Islam". Here is the front page.

An introduction page with dua' from Surah Ibrahim and a house reminding the hadeeth:

“Islam has been built upon five things – on testifying that there is no god save Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger; on performing salah; on giving the zakah; on Hajj to the House; and on fasting during Ramadhan.”

One is Shahada. "What is its meaning?" and "What happens when we say shahada?"

Two is Salah. Five daily prayers with pictures... (Pictures from Talibiddeenjr but I changed a bit.)

Three is Sawm. A fast day with pictures...

Four is Zakat. Its percentage, it does not decrease but increases our money, and it cleans our possessions.

Five is Hajj. Hajj makes everyone equal, it's in Dhil Hijjah...

Let's Repeat the five pillars of Islam and Let's Answer the questions about them.

Last page. Here is the lyrics of the nasheed "Buniyal Islamu 'ala Khamsin"

I hope you enjoyed it.

As soon as possible I will put its printable version insha Allah.

Edit: Here is the link you can download the file. I hope it is beneficial.

Wudu' Cards

For preschool age;

You can play with these cards using pictured sides. You may want him/her to put the cards in the right order. In Turkey we have song for it. If I try to translate, it’s something like that: Of course the ryhme is gone :)

Hands, mouth, nose, face

Arms, head and ears

After doing masah of neck

Feet must be washed

For older children;

You may want her/him to memorize wudu’ duas (Arabic or their meanings in English). You can show him/her a picture and want him to read the dua about it.

Lapbook: Ramadan

Here is my first lapbook. It's about Ramadan and fasting.

Cover...

Inside...

Details:

A fasting day cycle. (This idea is from here)

Inside the cycle. What should be done during fasting.

A short story book about first revelation.

Here is cover of the book.

The book is an "accordion book". It's very easy to make. You cand find here how to make it and different types of books.

Dua' cards.

Each day of Ramadan we pick one and read insha Allah.

A short article about Ramadan. (What is Ramadan? What did Muhammed (pbuh) used to do during Ramadan? etc. )

Hijri calendar. Rajab, Sha'ban and Ramadan are in different colour and Ramadan has lots of stars.

Religious riddle cards.

One of them is something like that:

An apple felt from the sky

It was divided into twelve

They ate eleven of them

"No", they said, for one .

The answer is Ramadan :)

Ramadan days trefoil. Its beginning is mercy, its midlle is forgiveness, its ending is liberation.

Ibadah chart. When my son;

prays with us we put a star on the prayer rug,

reads or tries to memorise Surah Al-Qadr that we intented to memorize during Ramadan, we put a star on the book,

tries to fast for 15 minutes or 30 minutes or 1 hour, we put a star on the plate,

puts coins into our sadaqa box, we put a star on the moneybox.

At the end of Ramadan, we will reward him insha Allah. We give small daily gifts too.

Moon cycle...

Hijri calendar is about moon phases, so it is very good idea to put it in a Ramadan lapbook. (This idea is from here.)

A puzzle...

The puzzle is made from this picture. The child is waiting for iftar...

It has 1oo pieces.

It is a bit hard to solve.

Ramadan dictionary cards....

What is the meaning of Ramadan, Sawm, Suhoor, Laylatu Al-Qadr, Taraveeh, Sadaqa Al-Fitr etc..

A Prophet and A Craft

Nowadays, we are making activities from this book with my son. In the book, there are short stories of some prophets and there is a craft for each. After you tell your child stories of prophet or reading together from a book, you can make these activities.

This craft is about Prophet Dawood who made the first armor. After telling his story you can make this craft with your child. First from a construction paper, you make something like vest. Then glue on it some metal beads.

This craft is about Prophet Moosa who was carried in a basket on the Nile. Using a small box, first you made a basket and cover with a brown construction paper every side of the basket. Then you glue nutshells on the paper.

This craft is about Prophet Shu'aib whose people did not give just measure and weight. You can make a scale after telling his story. Make three holes for each plastic bowl. Tie them to a child clothe hanger. You can show him how to measure with the scale and try to balance it. (You can measure his small toys, some pulses etc.)

This is Prophet Nooh's ark. First on a blue construction paper draw a boat shape. Then glue some spaghetti on the shape and cloth buttons. For the clouds glue some cotton.

As we make crafts about prophets I will go on publishing them insa'Allah.
