Free Printable Islamic New Year Reading Log, Certificate and Calendar Set

About these islamic new year printables handouts

The Islamic New Year marks the first day of Muharram, the first month of the Hijri calendar. It is a quiet occasion for many communities and a good time to introduce the lunar calendar.

This set has six files that share one design language: a crescent and star, a calendar and a geometric rosette. Every file is drawn from shapes and type only, so the set shows symbols and patterns and no people or figures. The reading log has twenty ruled rows with date, title, minutes or pages, and a column for a grown-up's initials. The certificate is a landscape page with a patterned border. The calendar page is a blank six-week grid with day names and empty date boxes, so you write in the dates yourself. The bookmark sheet holds eight cut-apart bookmarks with tassel holes, and the writing page and reward chart round out the set.

The pages use a crescent, a small calendar and a geometric rosette. They show no living things and carry no Arabic text.

The reading log, certificate, bookmarks and reward chart carry no logo or web address, so a student or family can keep them. The calendar page and writing page keep a small footer. Use the calendar page to introduce the Hijri months, the reading log for a new-year reading goal, and the border page for goal setting.

How to use them

1. Choose the file you need: reading log, certificate, calendar page, bookmark set, border page or reward chart.
2. Open the fill-in boxes and type the details that stay the same for the class, such as the school, teacher, month or the heading.
3. Pick a color style. Black and white saves ink; the colored styles suit card stock.
4. Print on letter paper at actual size, or save as a PDF. Use card stock for bookmarks and certificates.
5. Fill in names by hand or on screen, and keep a spare copy of each page for new students.

Classroom tips

• Use the calendar page to compare a lunar month with a civil month.
• Print the rosette bookmark in a pale tint.
• Print the bookmarks on card stock, cut on the lines, and punch the small circle at the top for a tassel or ribbon.
• Keep two blank certificates in a folder so there is always one ready for a quiet moment of recognition.

Notes on this page

• Islamic months begin with the sighting of the new moon or by calculation, and communities may begin a day apart, so these pages leave every date blank.
• The designs are geometric patterns only. No Arabic text is used.
• Reviewed copy is welcome: use the Report a correction link if anything on this page should change for your community.
