Arabic Games
Posted by ummjlk on March 29, 2009
Today me and the little ones played a couple of games with a deck of Arabic cards I made to go with our studies of the Medina program. Since I had no printer ink I pretty much had to draw them myself (atleast they are recognizable) Anyways I wrote in Arabic and transliteration on the leftside and drew the pictures on the right with their names under them (just incase they couldn’t tell what it was LOL!) Then I cut them in half and passed out the pictures to the kids and asked questions so it went something like this:
T: Ayna najmoon?
S: (finds the picture of star and says) Hadha Najmoon.
Then if it took them awhile to find it I might reinforce by asking after they give me the picture Ma Hadha? Then they would answer again Hadha Najmoon.
Then we played a game that I got the idea from this site ; http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/foreignlanguages/contents.htm
Called find the object;

We hid the picture cards and followed the directions. We had so much fun. Masha Allah

Hands on Measuring
Posted by ummjlk on March 28, 2009
The other day my son pulled out a pot and some measuring cups. He filled the pot with water and began to compare measurements. I asked him questions like; “how many 1/8 cups does it take to fill a 1/4 cup, and so on. He would guess then fill.” Before hand I also explained that the bottom number of the measurements (ex. 1/8) tells how many it would take to fill 1 cup. Then I would ask things like how many 1/3 cup will it take to fill 1 cup?I think we will have to try measuring spoons next. He had a lot of fun and that is what is important.
