 Ramadan Challenge Printing and
Assembly instructions...
Printing Instructions
To get the best quality printing results, I can not stress enough the importance of printing onto Gloss
Photo paper!
It is cheaply available, I picked up a pack of 10 High Gloss Photo paper 230gsm from one of the pound
stores. I’m sure wherever you are in the world, you will find cheap stores selling similar too.
Printing onto photo paper massively improves the quality of your print, giving a professional, vibrant and
clear finish.

I would recommend printing the pages which make the board game onto Gloss Photo paper, and the
question cards either onto card, or again photo paper (printing the questions on the back of the sheet and
the decorative card cover on the gloss side).

The game has been designed to allow borderless printing- making game assembly much easier.

To print borderless, ensure you have checked the “borderless” box in your printer settings.

The design includes a page that can be printed on the back of the question cards to give a “real game”
look. It is not a must you print these, you can leave your cards plain if you like. But if you do want to print
the back, just print a sheet of questions on one side, and the card back on the other side.
Assembly Instructions
Once you have everything printed, now the game can be quickly assembled ready to play!
If you have a laminator, I would recommend laminating the 4 board pieces. Run each sheet through the
laminator 3 or 4 times so that you can trim the edges without the plastic peeling off.
This is will then allow you to lay the sheets together so they meet to form one big continuous board.
Tape the board pieces together at the back.

Cut the question cards along their lines. If you have a paper cutter this makes this job quick and neat!
Once cut, place the question cards down on top of their marked position on the board ready to play!

Game play Instructions

The Ramadan Challenge game can be played with individual players or as team players. (teams may be
more suitable for younger players who may find it frustrating if they can not answer many questions
correctly, as being part of a team will help them to feel they are contributing and they will learn through
giving answers with their fellow team members inshallah)

Depending on the ages of the players, there are 2 ways you can play this game.
1. Only move ahead the stated number of places on the question cards if the question is answered
correctly. If a wrong answer is given, the player must stay still.
2. Move ahead the stated number of places regardless of whether the correct answer was given or
not. (this may be more suitable for younger players who are learning about Ramadan)

 Find something each player can use as their position marker to travel around the board.
 Place all the player markers on the start square.
 Each player takes turns to answer a question from the question cards. Each card shows how many
spaces to move.
Each question card also has the answer – so it is not a good idea for players to pick their own
cards! Instead another player should pick their card and read them the question.
 The first player to reach the finish wins!

Ramadan is the month of Allah, al-
Muharram, and the best prayer after the

What is a Sa’?
A type of measurement that was
used at the time of the prophet. It
measured the volume of a food
stuff (not its weigh).
___________________________________________
During the time of the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬the sa’ was a
specific means of measuring volume, known to
the people. Similar to how in our times we know
exactly what a 500ml measuring cup looks like;
we use this measurement in our kitchens,
restaurants, schools etc. A sa is a measure of
volume, not weight. It equals approximately 3L
(ie. Six 500ml measuring cups). ….Depending on
the food item, the weight will be different,
because all food has different weight.
