Eid Al Adha is one of the most important celebrations in the Islamic calendar. It’s a time for sacrifice, reflection, and gratitude—and for many children, it’s also a time filled with family, food, and festive fun. At Primary Ilm, we’ve created a set of Eid Al Adha cards and a detailed presentation to help Quran and Islamic studies teachers, as well as Muslim homeschoolers, teach the significance of this special day in a fun and engaging way.
Whether you’re introducing young learners to the story behind Eid or deepening their understanding of Islamic values, these printable resources are perfect for your classroom or home.

Why Use Eid Al Adha Cards in the Classroom or at Home?
Cards are more than just a creative task—they’re a way for children to connect with what they’re learning. Our Eid Al Adha cards encourage expression, understanding, and joy. They can be used for:
- Art projects during Eid-themed lessons
- Personal messages to family and friends
- Classroom displays or bulletin boards
- Memory keepsakes for students
They’re also a lovely way to reinforce key Islamic teachings in a soft and joyful way.
Tips for Teaching Children About Eid Al Adha
1. Start with the Story
Begin with the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Ismail (AS). Highlight their obedience and trust in Allah, and ask students how they might show faith in their own lives.
2. Use the Presentation Slides
Break down the concepts in the presentation over a few lessons or use them to lead a group discussion. Encourage students to ask questions and reflect.
3. Make it Creative
Let students colour, decorate, and personalise the Eid cards. Younger children especially love this part—and it makes learning hands-on and fun.
4. Link It to Real Life
Discuss how your students or children celebrate Eid. What traditions do they follow? What does Qurbani mean to their family? How can they embody the values of sacrifice and gratitude?
