Surah Al-Fajr · Explorer · train 4 of 6
All aboard!
Why might having lots of good things be a test?
Engine cards
Each engine carries a word from Surah Al-Fajr. Cut them out and couple the carriages behind them.
Carriage cards
Cut along the dashed lines. If a word needs the same carriage twice, make a second copy.
Couple the carriages
Write one letter in each carriage, starting next to the engine. Then read the word to someone at home.
Now the other way: join the carriages and write the word in the engine.
For the grown-up: one train, four stations
About ten minutes. There is no score: a wrong try is just part of the ride.
1. Inspire
Lay the train out on the floor or table. Count the carriages together and ask: Why might having lots of good things be a test?
2. Investigate
Mix up the carriages. Your child couples them behind the right engine, starting next to the engine.
3. Integrate
Open the mushaf at Surah Al-Fajr and find each word in its ayah. Read the meaning of the ayah together.
4. Impart
Swap roles: your child is the conductor and shows you a card. You read it, and they check you. Then stamp the ticket.
