🟢 1. Today's letter — ض (Dad)
Trace each ض. Start with the loop, then the tooth on top, then the dot way up high.
Now try writing one by yourself:
Big ض! Make it huge — don't forget the dot:
Fun fact: Arabic is sometimes called "the language of ض" because this sound is so special.
🟡 2. Find the ض
Circle every word that has the letter ض in it:
ضَوء شَمس أَبيَض قَمَر أَرض
Hint: three of them have a ض. Look for the dot up high!
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. Point to each one as you say it:
| Picture | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| ☀️ | شَمس |
shams |
| 🌙 | قَمَر |
qa-mar |
| ⭐ | نَجمة |
naj-meh |
After you read them, walk to a window and point. Can you see any of these right now?
🟣 4. Sort it: Day or Night?
Draw a line from each word to where you'd see it — in the day sky or the night sky.
| Word | Where? | |
|---|---|---|
شَمس |
─ → | 🌃 Night sky |
قَمَر |
─ → | ☀️ Day sky |
نَجمة |
─ → | 🌃 Night sky |
سَماء |
─ → | ☀️🌃 Both! |
The sky — سَماء — is there all the time. It just changes color.
🔵 5. Draw what's outside your window
Look out a window right now. Draw what you see. Is it day or night? Sunny or cloudy? Any trees, buildings, mountains?

One Arabic word for something in my picture: ________________
🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
The word ضَوء means light. Light comes from lots of places. Check the boxes for things that give light:
- شَمس(sun)
- قَمَر(moon)
- نَجمة(star)
- a lamp in your room 💡
- a phone screen 📱
- a rock 🪨
The moon is tricky! It doesn't make its own ضَوء — it bounces the sun's light back to us. Sneaky قَمَر.
📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)
Tonight, go to a window or step outside with someone in your family. Point at the sky and name one thing in Arabic.
