🟢 1. Today's letter — ح (Ha)
Trace each ḥa. Start at the top. Curve around like a little smile, then close it up.
Now try writing one by yourself:
Big ḥa! Make it huge:
The sound is like a warm breath on a cold window — haaaa. Try it on your hand!
🟡 2. Find the ḥa
Circle every word that has the letter ح (ḥa) in it:
حُلو كبير حُلوة صَغير مَرحَبا
Hint: three of them have a ḥa. Did you find all three?
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. Point to each one as you say it:
| Picture | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| 🐘 | كبير |
kbir (big) |
| 🐭 | صَغير |
saghir (small) |
| 🥰 | حُلو |
hilu (sweet/cute) |
After you read them, point at something in the room and say if it is كبير or صَغير.
🟣 4. Sort: big or small?
Draw a line from each thing to the right word. Is it big or small?
| Thing | Word | |
|---|---|---|
| 🐜 ant | ─ → | كبير (big) |
| 🏔️ mountain | ─ → | صَغير (small) |
| 🐘 elephant | ─ → | |
| 🍓 strawberry | ─ → | |
| 🚌 bus | ─ → |
Some lines will cross. That's okay!
🔵 5. Draw it — me and someone in my family
Draw yourself next to someone bigger or smaller than you. Maybe a baby brother. Maybe your tall cousin. Maybe your jiddo.

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
Adjectives in Arabic change for boys and girls. Boy words usually end in a regular sound. Girl words usually add an -eh at the end.
Fill in the missing word:
| Boy form (m) | Girl form (f) |
|---|---|
كبير (kbir) |
كبيرة (kbireh) |
صَغير (saghir) |
_____________ |
طَويل (tawil) |
_____________ |
حُلو (hilu) |
_____________ |
See the pattern? Add that little -eh sound and the word becomes a girl word.
📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)
Find three people (or pets, or stuffed animals!) at home. Say one Arabic word that describes each one.
| Who? | The Arabic word I used | Is it boy form or girl form? |
