What is Memory Game Insects about?

Memory Game Insects 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 insects and other small creatures.

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 spider, a butterfly, a bee and a ladybird. Each level brings a new challenge, so the game grows with the child.

The spider makes a good question for curious children: is it an insect? It is not. Insects have six legs, and spiders have eight. Children can count the legs on the pictures and on the minibeasts they find in the garden, and learn to tell them apart.

Small creatures have a big place in the Qur'an. Three of its surahs are named after them: An-Nahl, the Bee; An-Naml, the Ant; and Al-Ankabut, the Spider. Allah taught the bee to make honey, and He looks after every tiny creature, even the ones we hardly notice. After the game, parents and children can go on a minibeast hunt and talk about how each one is looked after.

Memory Game Insects is a Miraj original.
