  • Move the figures around the Kaaba during Tawaf

  • Create their own stories and conversations
  • Explore the importance of worship and community in Islam

Remember to keep discussions simple and age-appropriate for preschool children.

Questions to Ask Children During Play

  • What do you see in the picture?

  • How do you think the family feels during Hajj?
  • What do people do when they walk around the Kaaba?
