What is Memory Game Things We Use about?

Memory Game Things We Use 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 everyday things.

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 school bag, a pair of scissors, a rolled-up map and an alarm clock. Each level brings a new challenge, so the game grows with the child.

These are things from a child's own day: a bag for school, scissors for cutting and sticking, a map for finding the way and a clock that says when it is time to get up. Parents can ask what each one is for, and find the real things around the house together. Scissors are also a good moment to talk about using them safely.

The alarm clock leads to a Muslim's morning. Many families use one to wake for Fajr, and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught a dua for waking up that thanks Allah for giving us life again after sleep. Every useful thing we have, and the mind to make it, is a blessing from Allah, and a child can learn to say Alhamdulillah for them.
