What is Kamal Gets Ready for Madrasah about?
Kamal Gets Ready for Madrasah is an Islamic learning game for children aged 4 to 6 in which they help Kamal the Kangaroo get ready for madrasah, where Muslim children learn about Islam.
Kamal is getting ready for madrasah, and there is so much to do. What should he wear? Does he need a hat? How about a packed lunch? Children help him decide. On the cover, Kamal is thinking about a book, a set of pencils and a card, all things he might need for the day.
Getting ready to go out is a big part of a young child's day, and this game turns it into play. Children think about what Kamal needs, one thing at a time, which is good practice for packing their own bag for nursery, school or madrasah.
Madrasah is where many Muslim children learn to read the Qur'an, learn about Islam and meet friends, often after school or at the weekend. The game is a gentle way to talk about it with a child who is about to start, or who already goes and wants to share what they do there. Parents can ask what their child takes with them and what they are learning.
Kamal the Kangaroo is a Miraj original, and he also stars in Kamal the Kangaroo Makes Wudu.
