Challenge Game Water Creatures - game cover

What is Challenge Game Water Creatures about?

Challenge Game Water Creatures is a learning game for children aged 4 to 9 in which they test their knowledge of creatures that live in the water by listening carefully and tapping the right picture.

The cover shows a crab, an octopus and a fish, three very different animals from the sea. Children listen, look at the pictures in the boxes, and tap the right one. At the end of the game, they see their score.

It is a simple game with a clear goal, and the score at the end gives children a reason to play again and do better. They learn the names of the creatures as they go, ready to spot them in a rock pool, an aquarium or a book about the sea.

The fish is a good place to start a story from the Qur'an. Prophet Yunus (AS) was swallowed by a great fish, and in the darkness inside it he called on Allah, who saved him. After the game, parents can tell their child that story, or talk about how Allah made so many creatures that live under the water, where people cannot breathe: some with shells, some with eight arms and some with fins.

Challenge Game Water Creatures is a Miraj original.
