🟢 1. Today's letter — ج (jim)
Trace each jim. Start at the top curve, swoop down, and don't forget the dot underneath!
Now try writing one by yourself:
Big jim! Make it huge — don't forget the dot:
The dot goes INSIDE the bowl, underneath. Like a little seed in a cup. 🌱
🟡 2. Find the jim
Circle every word that has the letter ج (jim) in it:
جَدّ أَخ جَميل كبير جوز صَغير
Hint: jim can hide at the start of a word OR in the middle. Look carefully!
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. Point to each one as you say it:
| Picture | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| 👦 | أَخ |
akh |
| 👧 | أُخت |
ukht |
| 🤲 | عِندي |
in-di |
After you read them, try this sentence out loud:
🟣 4. Big or small? Sort your siblings
Think about the kids in your family (or pretend ones if you're the only one!). Write each name in the right box: big/older or small/younger than you.
كبير (kbir — older) |
صَغير (saghīr — younger) |
|---|---|
Now say it out loud:
🔵 5. Draw your family
Draw your brothers and sisters — or your cousins, or your best friend if you're an only child. Label each one أَخ or أُخت.

How many brothers?
How many sisters?
If you don't have any, write:
🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
Some Arabic names start with ج (jim)! Read them out loud:
Do you know anyone with a name that starts with ج? Write their name here:
Are they your أَخ, أُخت, cousin, or friend? _________________________________
📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)
Ask one person in your family how many brothers and sisters THEY have. Use Arabic if you can!
| I asked... | They have... | Their names |
|---|---|---|
| _________________ | ____ أَخ ____ أُخت |
_________________ |
Bonus: ask a grandparent or auntie — they usually have the best stories about their siblings.
