Hajj Transportation Colouring and Activity Pack Free Download

Let's Go On Hajj Free Download

It's that special time of year again when children are learning about hajj. Here is a very simple colouring pack focusing on the transportation that people use to go on hajj.

The perfect book to accompany this is the book I wrote 'Going to Hajj: A Book of Transport' number 4 in a series.

Beginning to Learn Series by Jameela Ho

(This set is available now as a PDF download.)

We sang to the tune of 'Wheels on the Bus' this song:

The people on the bus say, 'Labayk Allah, Labayk Allah, Labayk Allah."

The people on the bus say, 'Labayk Allah."

On their way to hajj.
(Then in a deep voice for Labayk Allah)
The daddies on the bus say, 'Labayk Allah, Labayk Allah, Labayk Allah."

The daddies on the bus say, 'Labayk Allah."

On their way to hajj.
(In a soft voice for Labayk Allah)
The mummies on the bus say, 'Labayk Allah, Labayk Allah, Labayk Allah."

The mummies on the bus say, 'Labayk Allah."

On their way to hajj.

There is also a song/rhyme in the pack which I sing/recite and the children do the actions for the corresponding transports.

Instead of colouring in all the pictures, we used water colour to paint some. You could actually use mosaics (paper or foam squares) for this border if you have time for the children to glue each piece.

PreKinders used water paint for the border

These were done using only watercolours

For the plane, prek made a crayon resist. First they coloured the plane using crayon. Then I gave them blue paint diluted with water and a foam paintbrush to 'wash' over the picture.

These are just some ideas. Let me know how you have used this pack. Here's the link again to the download just in case you've missed it.
