Memory Game Animals - game cover

What is Memory Game Animals about?

Memory Game Animals is a learning game for children aged 4 to 9 that helps them develop their memory, attention and sequencing skills while they learn the names and shapes of animals.

It is a classic brain game: children look carefully, keep the pictures in mind and use their memory to find the right cards. The cover shows cards with a sheep, a mouse, a cow and a donkey, animals young children know from farms, books and nursery rhymes. Each level brings a new challenge, so the game grows with the child.

Memory games train skills children use every day: paying attention, holding a picture in mind and remembering the order of things. Along the way, children learn the names and shapes of the animals, and younger ones can say each name out loud as they find it.

Farm animals are a good way into a talk about Allah's creation. In Surah An-Nahl, Allah reminds people of the animals He made for them: cattle that give warmth and food, and donkeys to ride. Children can think about what each animal on the cards gives us, from wool and milk to help with heavy loads, and say Alhamdulillah for them.

It is the first of the Miraj animal memory games, followed by Memory Game Animals 2, 3 and 4. Memory Game Animals is a Miraj original.
