How can my child learn Arabic words for the house and rooms?

Your home is a ready-made Arabic classroom. Labels turn every room into a lesson.

Ten house words

The label method (2 weeks)

1. Write each word on a sticky note in large Arabic letters.
2. Your child sticks it on the right object.
3. Each time they pass, they read it.
4. After 2 weeks, take the labels off and play “Put it back”.

“Where is …?” game

Ask أَيْنَ الْكُرْسِيّ؟ (Where is the chair?). Your child points or runs to it and says هُنَا (here).

Quran links

• كُرْسِيّ: as in Ayat al-Kursi.
• بَيْت: the Ka’bah is called الْبَيْت, “the House”, in Surah Quraysh.
