The Five Pillars of Islaam: A Kindergarten Workbook

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

May Allaah reward the sister who contacted me and asked about a resource for the Five Pillars of Islaam! This mini-workbook is a bit different from the others available here on the blog. This mini-workbook is designed to be a miniature notebook that can be bound or stapled at the top and children can flip it open and start their journey to learning about the Five Pillars of Islaam. The book is also easy to assemble: just print the book, cut along the dotted line in the middle of each page, and staple or bound at the top! Done!

Inside, children will find a brief introduction to each pillar but please be aware that it is not intended that these introductions can or should be read and understood by children independently. The introductions are there to initiate a discussion between child and educator in'shaa Allaah. 

Children will also have fun working with beginning sounds, learning about the number five, playing a memory/concentration game, solving a secret message, racing to do a good deed, and more!

Here is a quick peek at some of the activities:
