MAR Book 1, Chapter 8: The hospital

I made a worksheet for the end of this chapter to help consolidate the new vocab and sentence structures.

The first side is a simple cut and stick activity to complete the sentences in a way which makes sense (cut and stick as opposed to choose and copy, since the twins aged 5 aren't that confident writing in Arabic yet!). This was also good reading practise for them.

The second side they just needed to draw pictures either in front of or behind the hospital, then say the sentences to describe what they had done.

MAR Book 1, Lesson 6: "belongs to"/"for" using لِ

Some of the work we did on the whiteboard when covering this chapter in the Madinah Arabic Reader Book 1... Almost entirely oral, as usual, with lots of practise making sentences and phrasing questions:

I drew all of the above on the board and the girls took it in turns to read a question and give the answer according to the picture.

I drew the above pictures and wrote the questions for the girls to read as prompts. Then they took it in turns asking the other who each object belonged to, starting from the top - after the first answer I wrote the sentence in green as a prompt. Depending on their sister's answer, I drew an arrow pointing towards who the object belonged to. Because they answered everything with the girl (which they found hilarious!) I asked how they thought the boy and girl were feeling, to which they answered in Arabic ("She is happy and he is angry!") so we changed their expressions accordingly. 😂
