Surah Ash-Shams, ayah 5 · Ayah train · train 5 of 15
All aboard!
How does the sky protect us, like a roof over a house?
Engine cards
Each engine carries an ayah from Surah Ash-Shams. 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.
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: How does the sky protect us, like a roof over a house?
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 Ash-Shams 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.
