Due to the current pandemic, many play centres and playgrounds have shut, play dates are a no-no, schools and madressas are closed in certain countries, and even going to a relatives house is off the list. So keeping the kids entertained at home is perhaps close to impossible whilst you get work or household chores […]

I attended a Bible teacher's workshop and wanted to share some of the photos. The photos are mine, please excuse the roughness, I miss my good camera, but you can get the general idea. And, that is what I want to do, is share ideas for teaching Jesus! I do have permission from the women that held the workshop to share the photos. Some of the ideas you see are found in old Ideashop magazines, if you still have them! If you have specific questions on how to do something, the questions for the chart, etc, let me know and I will find out. Please allow a short time for me to return the answer. Please, keep in mind, that examples for the ideas were put all over the walls, so you will not see finished bulletin boards, etc. It is ideas for you to make! And, I did not crop the photos. Here they are, in random order: Some of the walls first Jonah & the Great Fish wall visual These creation background boards are felt and/or fabric attached to a board, and then you add pictures, etc for each day of creation. I forgot about these, until I looked at the photos... and I REALLY need to make them! The base (center) of the flower has "blessed are the..." , then students add the center over that with the answer. This is the finished flower pot. Balaam   The 3 kings: Saul, David, and Solomon. You can see what I did with the 3 kings here. Solomon's Temple Info Wall Jonah tossed from the boat into the water, then... Jonah in the Great Fish (I think that might be attached with Velcro and added after Jonah is swallowed), then, next is a couple of Jonah table visuals. Joseph (above) next is Prophets. Prophets Love is the Key Number 1 Judges Facts from Acts The Cross

Just a few days ago, I had the opportunity to plan out a playdate that is themed around the stories of the prophet. I decided to choose one of my favorite stories, the story of Prophet Musa (alaihi salam). The playdate had children ranged from ages 1 to 5 years old. Listening to the story of Musa The first part of the program was storytelling. I chose a book titled “The story of Musa” by Goodword Book but unfortunately did not manage to get hold of it. And so I decided to make my own little storybook to print it out. The book is available for download in my free resource library I volunteered to read the book myself too and quickly regretted it. I mean, I rarely read to a crowd of kids along with adults (i.e. the mothers). But alhamdulillah, with lots of encouragement from some of the lovely sisters, I pulled through. Apart from my trembling hands, it wasn’t really that bad I guess. Plus, I had Muhammad to accompany me when I stood in front to read. Stick painting activity Inspired by the staff of Prophet Musa which could turn into a huge snake and split the sea by the will of Allah, I thought that an activity that included sticks would be perfect. And so, stick painting it is. It was an easy setup. We just needed paint, brushes, paper plates and sticks. Well, I didn’t do the set up actually. The lovely sister who usually hosted the playdates prepared it all for us mashaAllah. The older kids were carefully painting designs on the sticks, while the younger ones explored with the materials in their own messy and unique ways. Nonetheless, they were all thoroughly engaged in the activity alhamdulillah. Exploring by the shore Oh did I mention we did all these by the beach? Yup, we did alhamdulillah. So most of the kids ended up by the shore exploring the waves, throwing sticks and stones, playing with sand, and catching the waves. MashaAllah, it was such an enjoyable day for the kids. Free play while learning about the prophets Kids learn so much when they are allowed to explore on their own. The more I attend such playdates, the more I realize that this is how learning should be especially for younger kids. Lots of free unstructured play, and a safe place for them to explore. I’ve realized that when planning activities around a theme, we must not let it bound us. Rather, we should let the theme inspire us to think of activities that will invite our children to play and encourage them to explore. Special thanks to Sis Afiyah and sis Zeinab for letting me plan this round of playdate. May Allah bless them both. Don’t forget to share the free storybook by pinning this post to your favourite Pinterest boards! Barakallahu feekum!

Using the colorful painted papers that they made last week (HERE), kindergarteners cut and glued their own garden collage patterned after Lois Ehlert's Planting a Rainbow. The table set-up had all the colored papers (I cut them down to an appropriate size) sorted into flower colors and stem/leaf colors, glue cups, scissors, etc. I asked that they start with one long, one medium and one short stem. The long stem was pre-cut and waiting on their board and I taught how to use 3 (that is THREE) dots of glue on each stem, one dot at the top, one in the middle and one at the end. We kept reiterating, "A DOT IS A LOT" so students would not spread the glue like peanut butter on a sandwich!!! I gotta say, the colored papers started out nice and neat like this, but by the time the sixth class arrived we had QUITE an assortment of scraps. I kept adding more "whole rectangles" to the pile and we had plenty of paper to complete the project with left-overs for another time!! Once the stems were glued, and looking at flower pictures on the Smartboard for reference, I taught how to cut a zig-zag line (starting at the corner and cutting diagonally) for the top of the tulip and curved lines for the bottom, so that the bottom of the flower looked like the letter "U." I also demonstrated cutting a circle, trying to stay near the edge of the paper so that the circle wouldn't end up too small!! For the basic leaf shape, I modeled cutting a curve up from the mid-point of the bottom to the mid-point of the top of the rectangle and then doing the same on the other side. However, once kids had scraps, they were encouraged to design their own leaf shapes. No pencils were used during the cutting process, so the result were some pretty creative flowers!! Color choice and composition was left up to the kids to decide. The only thing I asked was that they try to glue their stems even with the bottom of the paper so we didn't have "floating flowers." Most were successful with that. This was a great opportunity to circulate and help kids with cutting skills. Once before I posted about the use of scissors (HERE) and I REALLY saw a variety of ways that kids can hold scissors during this lesson. Probably the most creative was the child who had the scissors turned toward herself and was cutting top to bottom!! The saddest part of this project is that I have to give all this art back to the students!! I could take any of these home to hang on my wall!! The best part was that the kids didn't want to stop creating!! Kids who finished early cut flowers for a larger mural that we will be hanging in the hallway and leaving up to welcome students back in the Fall. As soon as I get it up, I will show you that, too!! Have a great week at school!
