I love using routine cards to organise Jamila’s day. I’d say it’s the adult equivalent of having a to-do list, only with cute pictures and much less stress! Routine cards are a great way to add structure to your day, and can allow your child to familiarise themselves with sequences of events.
As Muslims, special events such as Eid al Adha require us to follow certain rituals or practices in accordance with the Sunnah. Eid routine cards are a great way for us to pass this knowledge onto our children, whilst they also benefit from a sense of control on the day as they know what’s coming up next.
My Eid al Adha routine cards are easy to read and understand, and can help your little one to organise their day. Simply print them out and stick them up on a wall, or hand your child the stack and let them guess the correct order of events!
As a child I loved Eid mornings – Waking up early and greeting my family with an excited ‘Eid Mubarak!’, singing Takbeer on the way to the masjid, and praying with our friends there. These are memories that I cherish as an adult, and ones which I hope to pass on to my children, InshaAllah.
