Memory Game Water Creatures - game cover

What is Memory Game Water Creatures about?

Memory Game Water Creatures is a learning game for children aged 4 to 9 in which they test their memory with pictures of creatures that live in water, from a pond frog to an octopus.

It is a classic memory game, the kind of "brain" game that asks children to look carefully, remember what they have seen and find it again. The cover shows a green frog, a stripy fish, an orange starfish and a purple octopus on cards scattered among question marks. Each level brings a new challenge, so children can begin with an easy round and move on as they improve.

As they play, children learn the shapes and names of different water creatures. The game practises memory, attention and sequencing, and it gives young children new words to use at the aquarium, the seaside or the pond in the park.

Water creatures are a good way to talk about Allah's creation. The Qur'an says that Allah made every living thing from water. Some of His creatures live in ponds and rivers, and others deep in the sea, and each one is made for the place it lives: the fish with fins to swim, the octopus with eight arms, the frog able to live both in water and on land.

Memory Game Water Creatures is a Miraj original, one of the Miraj memory games.
