🎉 Fun Activities to Learn Family Words

1️⃣ Family Word Hunt 🔍

Write Arabic family words on flashcards (e.g., أب، أم، أخ) and hide them around the house.
Give clues in Arabic, like:
*ابحث عن كلمة “أم” تحت الطاولة!* (Look for the word “mom” under the table!).
Whoever finds the card must say the word and its meaning.

2️⃣ Guess Who? 🕵️

One person thinks of a family member, and others ask yes/no questions to guess:

• *هل هو ولد؟* (Is it a boy?)
• *هل هي أم؟* (Is it a mom?)

The first to guess correctly wins!

3️⃣ Act It Out 🎭

Act like a family member (e.g., reading for “grandfather” or cooking for “mom”), and others guess:
*هل أنت أب؟* (Are you a father?)

🎵 Family Song (غنوة العائلة)

Let’s sing a song to remember family words:

🎵 أمي، أبي، أختي، وأخي،
(Ummee, Abee, Ukhtee, Wa Akhee)
جدي، جدتي، عائلتي! 🎵
(Jaddee, Jaddatee, Aa’ilatee!)
هم الحب، هم الخير،
(Hum Al-Hubb, Hum Al-Khayr)
أحلى ناس في حياتي! 🎵
(Ahla Nas Fee Hayatee!)
