Ramadan Lapbooking links

The girls finally finished the Ramadan lapbooks which they began many weeks ago! I don't know where they got the idea to colour the cover picture as they did! I find that my children just like to colour things brightly, rather than trying to use more realistic colours.
Inside the lapbook, as I mentioned before I used a compilation of ideas from other sisters. I thought I should mention those locations again as maybe someone out there would be looking for something like this to do with their child in the remainder of Ramadan, inshAllah.
The Raising Muslims blog is an excellent Ramadan lapbook resource.
My friend UmmK made the one at Always Learning Resources
and for many more Islamic Lapbooks on various topics you should go look at Islamic Lapbooking
where you can find 12 examples of Ramadan lapbooks, or lapbook resources, maashAllah.
Its not too late to have a go at something!

With glitter

Yesterday evening U decided that she wanted to make a glitterymobile that she had found in one of our "things to make" books. Well, glitter just gets everywhere doesn't it? Even in the eyelashes, which I do find worrying because it would be horrible to get a bit in the eye. But as the glitter had already come out this pushed me to get the girls making their Ramadan calendars this morning. (I only wanted to clear up once!)
Every year now we seem to be making a glittery calendar. At first there was more of a moon theme to the decorations, but this year it seems to be more about glitter than anything else! Ia had a go at a crescent shape, amidst all the rest! We stick the calendars on the wall, and they cross off the days as we go through the month, inshAllah. (There are boxes with the numbers 1 to 30 at the bottom, bit hard to see in the photo.)

Fun game

Last week my children were given this game as a gift. I thought that I should mention it on here as it is really fun,as well as being educational and it also has the advantage of not using dice.
The basis of the game is to describe a word to your team to guess as fast as possible. The describing player takes a card with a word on it, for example "toaster" and must describe it to the rest of his team, eg "It's a machine you put a slice of bread into to make it hot and browned on both sides." (You can't say "toast"!)
The more correctly guessed words guessed in the time limit the more spaces on the board your team can move on.
The game is aimed at 6 plus. A child has to be able to read the card to play (although someone from the other team could actually help with this). Ia was able to have a go, but she found it a little tricky to describe quickly, but I think it just takes practice, inshAllah. You need a minimum of 4 players to play in two teams and to make it fair the teams need to be evenly matched. It seems good for developing language skills in both listening and speaking, but, most importantly for a game, it is fun!
