Teaching Quran to children can be one of the most rewarding experiences for Muslim parents and educators. However, keeping young minds engaged requires creativity and understanding of child psychology. Here are proven strategies to make Quran learning an enjoyable journey for your children.

Children learn best through play. Transform Quran learning into an exciting game:

Example: 10 stars = special treat or privilegeQuran Puzzles
Use Arabic letter puzzles, word matching games, and verse completion challenges to make learning interactive.
Digital and physical puzzle options available2. Incorporate Technology Wisely
