Ramadan activities for Kids

-

Assalam o Alaikum friends,


I am sorry that I haven't published anything new in a while. I was busy as the month of Ramadan was approaching and I had to prepare in advance for it by doing grocery shopping and other household chores. It is better to do such work before the fasts start as it can be tiring to do them with a fast, especially in the hot place where I live!


Ramadan for Kids:

Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calendar. Ramadan is the month when all the Muslims in the world fast from dawn to sunset. We don't drink or eat anything and every evening is festive with dates, juices, and delicious food. It is a month that strengthens our faith in Allah and also makes us thank Allah for all His blessings. Children are too young to fast but it is important to not only teach them about Islam but also engage them in healthy but fun activities.

Hence, I have designed these colourful activities for children revolving around the theme of Ramadan including a reading comprehension worksheet on Ramadan. The beautiful PDF contains nine vibrant pages with infographics and activities.


Islamic Calendar for Kids:

Did you know that the Islamic calendar follows the lunar months? This means that an Islamic month starts when a new month is sighted. 

There are twelve Islamic months:

  • Muharram
  • Safar
  • Rabi Al-Awwal
  • Rabi Al-Thani
  • Jamada Al-Awwal
  • Jamada Al-Thani
  • Rajab
  • Sha'ban

Children can learn the names of the Islamic months by using the colorful chart provided in the PDF. Then, they can do a matching activity to test their learning.


Salah time for Kids:


Another worksheet explains the time of salah by using cute graphics. Then, children can test their learning by filling up a puzzle. A couple of colouring pages are also a part of the PDF.

Jolly Phonics Group 1

Free Jolly Phonics Group 1 worksheets (s, a, t, i, p, n) According to Oxford Dictionary, phonics is a "method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with symbols in an alphabetic writing system". In simple words, each letter of the alphabet has a sound. Instead of teaching young children the names of these alphabets, the sounds are taught. For example "a" makes the sound /a/...this is exactly the sound that comes from your mouth in the beginning when you say the word " apple " or " ant ". The letter "a" makes a different sound in words like " arm " and " ate " but these rules are taught later.  Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics system where all the letters of the alphabet have been split into seven groups. Each group contains 6 letters or their combinations so a total of 42 sounds are taught. What do I mean by a combination of letters? Remember that the combination of letters "s" and "h&

Free Jolly Phonics Group 2 worksheets (c/k, e, h, r, m, d) Hello Friends, I am back with another set of worksheets for helping children learn their phonics sounds. As you might already know, I am a strong proponent of the Jolly Phonics system of synthetic phonics sounds. Jolly Phonics system follows a particular order of teaching alphabet sounds in which there are seven groups. The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store. My app called  Phonics Fun  is 100% Free so you can download it and use it on all your Android devices.  It teaches all the letter sounds and different phonics rules and follows the pattern of Jolly Phonics but it is available for free. It is the perfect way to master phonics as you can hear phonics sounds and also test learning by playing many matching games. Coming back to printable Jolly phonics worksheets, I have already published worksheets for practicing Group 1 (s, a, t,

Jolly Phonics Flash Cards

Gone are the days of A for apple, B for Ball...this is the time of synthetic phonics where each alphabet has a sound. Now, you don't teach children the name of the letter but the sound made by the letter. A has the sound that comes when we say the word apple, b has the sound that comes when we say bed, and so on and so forth. There are different systems of synthetic phonics but I have felt that Jolly Phonics is the best system. In fact, I made my first mobile app for my son based on the Jolly Phonics style of teaching. However, I know that many people want to limit screen exposure for their children so I decided to make these flashcards.  You can use these flashcards independently or you can use them along with my app called Phonics Fun , available on the Google Play Store. You can hear the sounds from my app. Practice using these flashcards and then, test learning using my app too...a win-win situation :) The Jolly Phonics flash cards are double-sided. I have told you in my previ
