🟢 1. Today's letter — ظ (Za)
Trace each ẓa. Start with the loop, then add the tall stick going up, then the dot on top.
Now try writing one by yourself:
Big ẓa! Make it huge — don't forget the dot:
Tip: ظ sounds heavy and deep, like you're saying it from the back of your mouth.
🟡 2. Find the ẓa
Circle every word that has the letter ظ in it:
ظَريف أَحمَر نَظيف لَون مَحفَظة
Hint: three of them have a ظ. ظَريف means "cute/nice," نَظيف means "clean," and مَحفَظة is a wallet.
🟠 3. I can read these colors
Read these three color words out loud. Point to each one as you say it:
| Color | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| 🍅 | أَحمَر |
ah-mar |
| 🍋 | أَصفَر |
as-far |
| 🌿 | أَخضَر |
akh-dar |
Notice something? All three start with أَ! Most Arabic colors do.
🟣 4. Match the color to the souk item
Draw a line from each color on the left to the thing in the souk on the right.
| Color | Souk item | |
|---|---|---|
أَحمَر |
─ → | 🍋 lemon |
أَصفَر |
─ → | 🌿 parsley |
أَخضَر |
─ → | 🫒 olives |
أَزرَق |
─ → | 🍅 tomato |
أَسوَد |
─ → | 🧀 cheese |
أَبيَض |
─ → | 🫐 blueberries |
🔵 5. Draw your own souk stand
Draw a souk stand full of colorful things. Label at least two items with their color in Arabic.
