How to Teach the Story of Hajj with Play
Here’s a simple, child-led way to walk your kids through the story of Hajj using the set:
1. Start with the Kaaba
Place the Kaaba block on the play mat. Let your child walk small figures around it while saying “Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik” together.
🟡 Explain: “Every Muslim who goes for Hajj begins by walking around the Kaaba to show their love for Allah.”
2. Introduce Mina and the White Tents
Show them the tent piece and place it on Mina’s area on the mat.
🟡 Say: “The people sleep in these tents, just like Prophet Ibrahim did.”
3. Climb Mount Arafat
Move the pilgrim figures to the Arafat block.
🟡 Explain: “This is the most important day of Hajj. People pray to Allah all day, just like Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) did.”
4. Walk to Muzdalifah and Collect Stones
Pretend to gather tiny pebbles or beads from Muzdalifah.
🟡 Say: “The pilgrims pick up stones to prepare for what comes next—throwing them at the Jamarat.”
5. Throw Pebbles at the Jamarat
Use the Jamarat blocks and pretend to toss soft felt balls or real pebbles.
🟡 Say: “This reminds us how Prophet Ibrahim said no to Shaytan and obeyed Allah.”
6. Celebrate Eid al-Adha
End the story by acting out the Eid celebration at the end of Hajj.
🟡 Let them shout “Eid Mubarak!” and pretend to share food and gifts.
