Workbook — Session 13: I'm Hungry!

🟢 1. Today's letter — د (dal)

Trace each dal. Start at the top. Make a little curve down and around — like a tiny hook.

د . . . . د . . . . د . . . . د . . . . د

Now try writing one by yourself:

Big dal! Make it huge:

Tip: dal sits on the line. It doesn't dip below like some letters do.

🟡 2. Find the dal

Circle every word that has the letter د (dal) in it:

دَجاج جوعان بِدّي شَبعان أَكِل

Hint: look for the little hook shape — sometimes at the start, sometimes in the middle.

🟠 3. I can read these words

Read these three words out loud. Point to each one as you say it. Rub your belly when you say "hungry"!

Picture	Arabic	Say it
😋	جوعان	jou-'aan
🍗	دَجاج	da-jaaj
💧	عَطشان	'at-shaan

After you read them, find a grown-up and say:

أنا جوعان!

(or جوعانة if you're a girl). See if they bring you a snack. 😄

🟣 4. Match the feeling to the picture

Draw a line from each Arabic word to the right picture.

Word		Picture
جوعان	─ →	🥛 Needs water
شَبعان	─ →	🍽️ Empty belly
عَطشان	─ →	🤲 Belly full — no more, please!

🔵 5. Draw what you want to eat

If you could say

بِدّي آكول...

right now, what would you ask for? Draw it!

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)

Dal words are everywhere! Here are some foods and things that start with — or have — the letter د:

**دَجاج** (chicken) **دُبّ** (bear) **دار** (house) **وَلَد** (boy) **جَدّة** (grandma)

Pick one. Copy it into the box. Then draw a tiny picture next to it.

My dal word	My tiny drawing
_____________

📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)

Before dinner tonight, tell someone in your family how you feel — in Arabic. Then ask them how they feel!

I said...	To...	They said back...
أنا جوعان / جوعانة	_________________	_________________

Bonus: at dinner, point to the chicken (if there is any!) and say

دَجاج

. If there's no chicken, point to anything and try to name it. Guess if you have to.
