it also includes live shots of hajj, videos, maps, prayers and more.
some activities for hajj
can be adapted from many ramadhan activities
but can also include:

- making a replica of the kaba
- discussing the virtues of first 10 days of dhul hijjah
- reviewing history of hajj (try “my first quran storybook” by goodword books)
- viewing hajj videos
- making a simple hajj book on the rituals of hajj
- reciting / memorizing suratul-hajj (chapter 22)
more crafty ideas include:
- handmade eid cards
