🎮 Salam School game guide

What each game actually teaches

A teacher's map of the Salam Games library. For every game: the topic, the right ages, the learning inside it, and a ten-minute off-screen activity that turns play into teaching. Use it to plan a lesson, stock a classroom station, or choose tonight's game on purpose.

Game	Ages	What it teaches	10-minute extension activity
Salam Trivia	6–12	Broad Islamic knowledge — Quran, Prophets, worship, Sunnah and manners — in mixed gentle rounds.	Question writers: each child writes one new trivia question (with the answer) on a card. Read three aloud next session as the warm-up.
Sunnah Sprint	7–12	Everyday Sunnahs of the Prophet ﷺ — eating, sleeping, greeting, dressing — and telling Sunnah from non-Sunnah.	Sunnah spotter diary: for one day, children note every Sunnah they spot themselves or family doing. Share the count, not a ranking.
Halal & Haram	8–12	Sorting everyday foods, actions and choices into halal and haram — a first, careful step into fiqh awareness.	Lunchbox court: sort picture cards of real foods into halal / haram / "we should ask" — the third pile teaches checking labels and asking, which is the real skill.
Names of Allah Garden	7–12	The Names of Allah ﷻ and their meanings — guess-the-Name format that rewards knowing the meaning, not just the spelling.	Fridge Names: run it inside the Beautiful Names lesson; six Name cards go home for the dinner-table game in that plan.
Salah Clock Rush	6–10	The five daily prayers, their order through the day, and their times of day.	Today's timeline: children draw a sun-path across a page and place the five prayers on it — then mark which one comes next in real life.
Wudu Steps Challenge	5–9	The sequence of wudu, in order, step by step.	Sink relay: pairs complete real wudu with the printable sequence as their only help — the core of the Wudu lesson.
Dua Builder	6–11	The word order and meaning of the daily duas — rebuilding them piece by piece.	Paper builders: write one dua on sentence strips, shuffle, and let pairs rebuild it on the table before saying it together.
Quran Match	7–12	Core Quran vocabulary — matching Arabic words to their meanings until they're recognised on sight.	Word wall race: print the matched words as cards; pairs race to pin each Arabic word under its meaning on the wall.
Quran Practice Studio	7–14	Memorisation and recitation practice of short surahs, at the child's own pace, with revision built in.	Echo pairs + tracker: partners echo-read the week's portion to each other, then log it on the memorisation tracker.
Lantern Bingo	5–12	Vocabulary review — Names of Allah ﷻ, Quran words and Prophets — in a surprise-mix board that is different every game. Built for groups.	Child caller: let a confident child be the bingo caller (reading each word + its meaning aloud). Calling is the deepest revision of all.
Arabic Letter Tracer	4–8	Arabic letter shapes and writing direction — tracing each letter until the hand knows it.	Salt tray letters: children trace the same letter in a tray of salt or sand, say its name and sound, then finish the tracing sheets.
Arabic Bubble Pop	4–8	Fast letter recognition — hearing a letter's sound and finding its shape.	Letter hunt: hide letter cards around the room; call a sound and children hunt for its letter. Finish by lining the found letters in alphabet order.
Sadaqah Garden	5–10	Kind choices and their consequences — a garden that grows when children choose generous, gentle actions.	Kindness chain: the activity at the heart of the Kind Hearts lesson — every in-game kind choice inspires a real paper link.
Prophet Journey	7–12	Seerah story landmarks — the life of the Prophet ﷺ as a journey children travel through.	Story map: children draw the journey as a map with three stops, and retell one stop in their own words to a partner (no depictions of the Prophet ﷺ — maps use places and symbols).
Daily Challenge	6–12	A short mixed revision set that changes daily — a gentle habit of five minutes of Islamic learning.	Morning starter: project it at the start of class or breakfast; one question becomes the day's discussion seed.

💡 Planning a full session? The reliable pattern is one game + one printable + one conversation: pick the game above, pair it with its lesson plan from the lesson library, and finish with the plan's three check questions. The games revise; the conversation is where the meaning settles.
