We did a Pillars of Islam file folder game. The paint brush matching was such a huge hit, I thought beyond that and did a Pillars of Islam one. This is a simple game that teaches not only the names of the pillars but teaches the spelling too. My 6 yr old has been covering the Pillars so I thought the timing was perfect to make this one.






The main layout of the file folder game has the five pillars and 2 pillar shaped  pockets.



The concept of the game is to match the letter tiles onto the correct Pillar spelling out each pillar of Islam.

Another Pillar shaped pocket holds the picture cards.


Pillars up close with matching picture cards as an addition to the lesson. The student will match the picture below each pillar.

We have been so busy at work with bigger kids that I almost forgot to put some quick activities together for my little 3 yr old guy. He is so patient asking ummie when can he play school, lol. I felt so bad! I mean we do things here and there throughout the day, but to fit him in our busy schdedule! I finally took some time out and found a quick solution to my problem....file folder games!

I took a visit over to Confessions of a Homeschooler Blog and found the cutest little paint brush color matching game. I printed it on regular paper, I did this because I knew my cardstock was not durable for my little guys hands. I then glued the paint brushes onto some cereal boxes, some of you laugh as I have but  it works! This was so simple to layout and put together. I had an instant hit! My older one's even got involved for a little bit! I plan on going with this idea and incorporating some Islam into some of the file folders so stay tuned....
