What is Memory Game Vegetables about?

Memory Game Vegetables 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 vegetables.

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 carrot, an aubergine, a red chilli and a walnut. Each level brings a new challenge, so children can keep playing and do better each time.

Vegetables are not every child's favourite food, and a game can help. A child who has learned the name of an aubergine may be more willing to try one, and choosing vegetables at the shop or helping to wash them for dinner becomes a chance to use the new words. The walnut on the cover is a nut, not a vegetable, which older children may enjoy spotting.

Vegetables are in the Qur'an too. In Surah Al-Baqarah, the Children of Israel ask Prophet Musa (AS) for vegetables such as cucumbers, garlic, lentils and onions, even though Allah had already given them food from the sky. Parents can use it to talk about being thankful for the food we have, and saying Alhamdulillah after every meal, even the vegetables.

Memory Game Vegetables is a Miraj original.
