🟢 1. Today's letter — ه (ha)
Trace each ha. Notice the little loop — like a tiny balloon on a string.
Now try writing one by yourself:
The letter ha changes shape depending on where it is in the word. Trace all four:
| start | middle | end | alone |
|---|---|---|---|
🟡 2. Find the ha
Circle every word that has the letter ه (ha) in it:
هَل؟ ماذا؟ هُنا مين؟ هَذا كيف؟
Hint: ha shows up A LOT in question words and pointing words.
🟠 3. I can read these questions
Read these out loud. Point to each one as you say it:
| Meaning | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| what? | شو؟ |
shu? |
| where? | وَين؟ |
wayn? |
| who? | مين؟ |
min? |
Now ask a grown-up one of these questions about something in the room. Point at something and say شو؟ See what happens!
🟣 4. Match the question to the answer
Draw a line from each question on the left to the answer that fits on the right.
| Question | Answer | |
|---|---|---|
شو؟ (what?) |
─ → | 🕐 At three o'clock |
وَين؟ (where?) |
─ → | 🍎 An apple |
مين؟ (who?) |
─ → | 🏠 In the kitchen |
إيمَتى؟ (when?) |
─ → | 👧 My sister |
🔵 5. Draw a question
Think of one thing you want to ask someone in your family tonight. Draw a picture of the question. Write the Arabic question word under it.

وَين ماما؟ |

Try saying your questions out loud. Did anyone answer you?
