🟢 1. Letter review — write your favorites
This week is a review week — no new letter today! Pick two letters you've learned so far and write each one three times.
My first letter is: _______
My second letter is: _______
Tip: if you can't remember any, peek at an old workbook. That's allowed!
🟡 2. Find the feeling words
Circle every word below that means a feeling:
مَبسوط بابا زَعلان تُفّاحة خايِف تَعبان
Hint: four of them are feelings. Two of them are NOT.
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. Point to each face as you say it:
| Face | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| 😊 | مَبسوط |
mab-soot |
| 😢 | زَعلان |
za'-lan |
| 😴 | تَعبان |
ta'-ban |
After you read them, make the face that matches each word. Big silly faces are best.
🟣 4. Match the feeling to the face
Draw a line from each Arabic word on the right to the face on the left.
| Face | Feeling | |
|---|---|---|
| 😨 Scared | ─ → | مَبسوط |
| 😊 Happy | ─ → | تَعبان |
| 😴 Tired | ─ → | خايِف |
| 😢 Sad | ─ → | زَعلان |
🔵 5. Draw how YOU feel today
Draw your face — exactly how you feel right now. Sleepy? Excited? A little grumpy? It's all okay.

Today I feel: ________________
(write the Arabic word)
🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
In Arabic, feeling words change depending on if you're a boy or a girl. Boys add nothing. Girls add a little ة at the end (it sounds like "eh" or "ah").
Fill in the missing form:
| Boy says | Girl says |
|---|---|
مَبسوط |
مَبسوطة |
زَعلان |
_____________ |
تَعبان |
_____________ |
Which one do YOU say? Circle it: boy form / girl form
📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)
Ask three people in your family — in Arabic or English — "How do you feel?" Write down their answer in Arabic if you can.
| I asked... | They said they felt... |
