Lam Qamariya & Lam Shamsiya in the Quran: An Interactive Learning Game
The “Lam Qamariya & Lam Shamsiya” game is designed to help young Muslims master essential Quranic pronunciation rules in a fun and engaging way. Using speaking cards, children can quickly learn to differentiate between the two types of lam sounds in Arabic while reinforcing their Quran recitation skills.
How to Play:
In this interactive game, students are presented with speaking cards, each containing a word from the Quran. These words either contain lam qamariya (pronounced lam) or lam shamsiya (silent lam). The player draws a card, reads the word aloud, and identifies whether the word contains a lam qamariya or a lam shamsiya. Points are awarded for each correct identification, and the game continues until all cards have been played. To make it more exciting, players can compete in teams or challenge themselves with a timer to increase the pace.
Educational Benefits:
- Enhancing Quranic Recitation:
The primary objective of this game is to help learners recognize and pronounce lam qamariya and lam shamsiya correctly in their Quran recitation. By playing this game, children and students develop better fluency in reading the Quran. - Interactive Learning:
Using speaking cards ensures an interactive and hands-on approach to learning. Children are more engaged, and the process of identifying and vocalizing the lam sounds strengthens their knowledge of Tajweed (rules of Quranic pronunciation). - Teamwork & Fun:
The game can be played individually or in teams, encouraging cooperative learning and friendly competition. This dynamic format makes Quranic studies feel less like a task and more like an enjoyable activity. - Boosting Confidence in Arabic:
For non-native Arabic speakers, distinguishing between these two sounds is critical for mastering the Quran. As learners get familiar with the differences, they build their confidence in reading and understanding the Holy Quran.
Roots Muslim School strives to provide innovative, educational tools like the “Lam Qamariya & Lam Shamsiya” game to make Quran learning accessible and enjoyable for students.
