🟢 1. Today's letter — غ (ghayn)
Trace each ghayn. It's like a little curl with a dot on top. Start with the loop, then the tail.
Now try writing one by yourself:
Big ghayn! Make it huge — don't forget the dot:
Say it out loud: "ghhh" — like you're gargling water at the back of your throat.
🟡 2. Find the ghayn
Circle every word that has the letter غ (ghayn) in it:
غَزال أَسَد غُراب ثَعلَب صَغير نَسر
Hint: look for the curl with one dot on top.
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. Point to each one as you say it:
| Picture | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| 🦁 | أَسَد |
a-sad |
| 🦌 | غَزال |
gha-zaal |
| 🦅 | نَسر |
nasr |
After you read them, ask someone nearby: "Which animal sounds the strongest to you?"
🟣 4. Sort the animals — big or small?
Some of these wild animals are big. Some are small. Write each one in the right box.
| 🐘 Big (كَبير) | 🐭 Small (صَغير) |
|---|---|
There's no exactly-right answer — a fox feels small next to a lion, but huge next to a mouse. Pick what feels right to you.
🔵 5. Draw a wild animal
Pick your favorite wild animal from today. Draw it where it lives — maybe a mountain, a forest, or the sky. Write its Arabic name underneath.

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
The gazelle (غَزال) lives in the hills and mountains of Lebanon and Syria. Try saying this little sentence out loud:
al-ghazaal sagheer wa saree' — "The gazelle is small and fast."
Can you find the غ? Circle it. How many did you find? _______
