Quran Journaling for Kids

Quran journaling about haj. The right side is for reflections and actions to take.

Journaling is a growing trend among many people but what you'll find is that more and more sisters are Quran journaling. Quran journaling is basically journaling about ayahs from the Quran. What I love about it is that it really makes you reflect on these ayahs while at the same time, you're learning the tafsir (explanation). I've recently got into it and I thought this is a really great teaching tool for kids.

It's very hands-on and it allows children to be creative. You could use this to teach in two ways. One way is use it with Quran and tafsir lessons to get kids to reflect on the ayahs that they're learning. The other way is to bring an Islamic element into a subject that your child is learning. For example, your child could be learning about bees so you would look up the ayahs where Allah talks about the bees and journal about those ayahs.

These are money envelopes that you could put money in but I usually have my prekinders make them and I would sign them and fill them up with little stationery items such as novelty pencils, pens, erasers/rubbers, popular collector's cards, balloons and maybe a lolly or two. 

The children get very excited and love receiving them. You can have your child make a few for others and one for themselves for you to fill up. Instructions are below.
