What is Memory Game Tableware about?

Memory Game Tableware 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 tableware.

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 spotty teapot, a glass of water, a bowl and a plate. Each level brings a new challenge, so children can keep playing and do better each time.

These are things children see at every meal. Once they know their names, they can help lay the table, fetch a bowl or a glass when asked, and tidy up afterwards. A game about tableware turns into a small job at home that makes a child feel useful.

The table is also where children learn a lot of Islamic manners. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught Muslims to eat and drink with the right hand, and the Qur'an tells us to eat and drink but not to waste. After the game, children can lay the table for the family, pour a glass of water with their right hand and take only as much food as they can finish.

Memory Game Tableware is a Miraj original.
