What is Karate with Goatie Jigsaw Puzzle about?
Karate with Goatie Jigsaw Puzzle is a jigsaw game for children aged 4 to 9, named after the Miraj game Karate with Goatie.
Children fit the pieces together to complete the picture. There are four levels of difficulty, so a child can start with an easy puzzle, move up to a harder one as they get better, and see how well they can do. The cover shows Goatie, the goat who is a karate master, in his white karate suit and black belt, kicking between two puzzle pieces.
In Karate with Goatie, Goatie practises every day, and good discipline and a focused mind are part of his karate. A jigsaw asks for the same things on a small scale: looking carefully, keeping calm when a piece will not fit, and not giving up on a hard level. Parents can point this out as their child works through the levels.
It is also a chance to talk about patience, or sabr, which Allah praises again and again in the Qur'an. Finishing a puzzle is a small example of it: a child who keeps trying, one piece at a time, gets there in the end. Children who like the puzzle can go on to Karate with Goatie and learn some karate moves from Goatie himself.
Karate with Goatie Jigsaw Puzzle is a Miraj original.
