12 easy Tips to teach the Arabic Alphabet at home!

Teaching a second language at home can sometimes be challenging especially when teaching really young children. However, all you need is some fun and exciting ways! We’re sharing 12 easy tips to teach the Arabic Alphabet at home! With a combination of fun, games, storytelling, singing and arts and crafts – who said it can’t be fun? With the help of Yomna from@happyhomelearning we’re sharing some of our simple & easy (tried and tested) tips to teach the Arabic Alphabet at home! If your child is beyond this stage then your looking for the follow up post – How to start teaching your child to read Arabic at home! 

 

 

1. Arabic Alphabet flashcards

To get started, you definitely need to have the Arabic Alphabet flashcards. We purchased the ones from Good word: Arabic Alphabet Flash Cards. They have the alphabet written on one side and a matching word with picture on the other side! We also like to keep a plain set of alphabet alphabet flashcards. These you can print on to card from here. We covered the Arabic letters with coloured sand – you can also use coloured glitter too. This is great for the children to trace over to practise letter formation. Practise learning the sounds before the name of the letter to help them recognise for reading!

2. Use a sand tray for letter formation

So as the children trace over the sand letters (mentioned above) they then attempt to write out the letters in a sand tray. This is a simple sensory way of getting the children confident in writing. All you need is some sand and a tray. I used my trusty Ferraro Roche tray box.

3. Find the letter 

Using our magnetic Arabic Letter Connector by Ilm Box we ask the children to find the letter amongst a selection of letters. This is for letter recognition – to see if they can remember how many dots, what shape the letter is etc.

 

 

4. Using everyday objects

When we introduce new objects we tend to find objects we have at home or in our play rooms and even pictures. This way children can hold or play with the objects while learning the new names in the Arabic Language. (Sign up to our newsletter below to receive a FREE vocabulary sheet for each letter of the Arabic Alphabet to help you get started with your teaching!)

 

5. Arabic Alphabet songs

Children love singing! So we use some of the songs we found on YouTube  including this simple Alphabet song and this Arabic alphabet rhyme with vocabulary and sing them in our sessions! We use ones that include vocabulary and then invent our own songs with the vocabulary we are using for that particular letter to help our children remember the new vocabulary.

6. Teaching order

Remember you don’t have to teach the letter alphabetically. Start with easier sounds like ba, jeem, laam etc – the same we don’t always teach the letters in order in phonics. However, like phonics, it is best to begin with the letter sounds that the names for reading.

 

7. Arabic letter games

Learning through games is so much fun for your child. We printed and laminated these cool mazes from Home Play School – check out her website for more Free Arabic Resources including playdough mats!

8. Gambian Mommy Resources

Gambian Mommy produces some brilliant, fun and colourful resources for our kids’ Arabic learning journeys! You have to check out her wonderful creations over on at her page here. In the meantime, the ones we use and found our children loved were the Alphabet puzzle vocabulary pictures and the peg the matching vocabulary.

 

9. Using Playdough Cutters

Play dough is the most calming time with my girls. They love using play dough so we love incorporating it into our Arabic Lessons with these fab play dough cutters by the Desi Doll Company! You can use the cutters to make the letters you are learning that week and they also come in handy when your children are moving on to letter connecting too!

 

10. Arabic letter crafts

Arts and Crafts is always a fun activity, so we always try to tie in the craft to the vocabulary or letter of that week. In the case of the Jeem below, the children were to stick orange paper on the jeem which represents a carrot. (See video below for more!)

11. Make up Arabic vocabulary stories

To recap our vocabulary for the letter we learnt, we practised over them by making up stories and drawing pictures to aid us. Check out the video below for more!

12. Make an Arabic Wall at home

Learning displays are more than just making the rooms pretty! You can actively refer to them in your sessions by displaying the Arabic alphabet poster. Put up the children’s letter craft and any other learning aids you use! We have started making ours again below!

 

Check out our Arabic Alphabet Teaching Tips video below!

 

 

Resources including vocabulary to teach with each letter, and Arabic Letter writing sheets are available to download for FREE below! Enjoy!

Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subh Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subhanAllah what a tragic ending for the 4th Caliph, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.
.
There were a lot of questions and discussions on what happened next and who became Caliph and whilst I could share with my eldest briefly I think this will be another history topic that we will explore at a later date. 
.
But for now it has been quite the journey getting through this topic on the Great Caliphs and something I’d highly recommend to you especially if you’ve taught your children the Seerah .
.
We hope you’ve enjoyed following along - the full plan and resources are now available in our shop www.mamateachesme.com

Our 40 page plan and Resources are nearly finalised for this Unit The Great Caliphs - looking forward to sharing more soon IA

I didn’t quite read the full reviews but did know it was set in war-torn Syria 🇸🇾- it’s such an important read highlighting the human plight of the Syrian War sadly but also full of hope. The author did an amazing job writing this! I’m not going to give any more away but I will say go buy it or borrow it - it’s one to read!

Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Cali Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Caliphs and we look deeper into the tragedy that was the Muslim Civil Wars. This was something I didn’t even know about in my childhood and only learnt of it during my time in University. 
.
Surprisingly the children’s books we are using didn’t mention these battles - however I felt it was important for Ammarah to learn what had happened especially as we are learning this as a History unit. So we looked to another book (as pictured) and found details of the the 2 major battles that occurred between Ali (ra) and other companions of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.
After our reading we found out that much of the controversy surrounded the murder of Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and finding his killers. We discussed how both sides wanted pretty much the same thing but as Ali (ra) was in charge, he knew how best to deal with the situation. It definitely was a sad time for the Muslims - and what made things worse, we read up - was that there were rebels and hypocrites who were taking advantage of the disagreement and causing more problems! The whole lesson made a very interesting discussion. 
.
.
Both times the companions and Ali (ra) made peace or settled with peace in order to stop the bloodshed of fellow Muslims. 
.
Did you know about these Muslim civil wars? Full resources and planning coming soon iA

Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - yes the grass always looks greener, but live in the present and count your blessings. Thank Allah for all that He is given you - your in a place of privilege compared to most. Don’t let Shaytan make you feel sorry for yourself - you have lots to be grateful for Alhamdulillah.
.
Begin and end your day with Alhamdulillah and allow Allah to increase you with more iA 😍
.
.
If you’re finding it difficult - start with a gratitude journal and list your daily blessings and feel the change within you - praise Allah often and moisten your tongue with his remembrance. 
.
.
May Allah bless you with the best of this world and the aakhirah Ameen

There’s something about starting a new exercise There’s something about starting a new exercise book that sends an excitement of a fresh start and a new beginning. The kids are always so motivated to do their best work on the first few pages too. 
.
And it had me wondering why wait for the new exercise book or new year even to get that feeling and motivation. Every month, week and day can be that new start and even within that if the day doesn’t start as planned, there’s still time to turn it all around - with a NEW INTENTION Alhamdulillah. So if you’ve had a wobbly start to the year, month, week or day - remind yourself you can start over - renew your intention, remember your why and say Bismillah!
.
.
We’ve been sorting and sifting through our stuff since we’ve come back to UK 🇬🇧- starting with a new topic soon but wanted to get ahead with some daily learning including some easy activities I’ve prepared in their new books especially as we are working towards the girls becoming more independent and responsible for their learning. 
.
Swipe to see a little of Ammarah’s independent writing of life in Makkah Alhamdulillah - (although we did work through breaking down the paragraphs) exercise books which I highly recommend are from @bm_stores UK 🇬🇧 - durable and long lasting (and the covers haven’t fallen off so far) Alhamdulillah, we’ve been using these throughout our homeschool journey!
.
.
How are you encouraging your children to become independent learners- what systems have you put in place if any? Share below - Our weekly planners are definitely a hit in our homeschool 👌

Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smil Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smiley faces, medals, certificates, praise, treats - kids love it! 😁
.
Bonuses, free coupons, discount codes, Tax returns and loyalty points or freebies, compliments, likes and shares - works on us too! 😄
.
My girls love seeing their maths books marked and ticked (sometimes I’m lazy about it - guilty) and mostly love getting their correct answer and perfect score. But over time as I’ve challenged them, I’ve said it’s not about the answer as much (ok sometimes it is) it’s all about how you got there! 
.
As the girls are older now, there is on some days a little more motivation required to get that Homeed routine in full swing. Getting through the daily tasks or even sitting and opening a work book is all determined by how you start your day. 
.
A good morning routine helps (obviously each day is different in homeschool) but I tend to find a good sleep the night before, wake earlier, a good breakfast, some time for play and then an outline of the day and what’s happening works nicely for us. We also usually start with Quran - just gets us into routine immediately Alhamdulillah. 
.
But I’ve needed more and so adopted a virtual sticker chart (created on Canva) idea taken from their Quran teacher @mar_fizzler 😄 probably why they enjoy the lessons too - and we focussed on attitude, effort and achievement to learning more than just the end result solely - after 12 stickers (they’ve really got to work hard to earn them 😅😂) the girls get a surprise treat - last time it was toys on our trip to Dubai - this time I’m hoping it’s a day out instead! 
.
What kind of reward system do you have in your home? Whether you homeschool or not? What’s working for you? Would love to hear more below 😅

We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet M We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to look at the relationship with the 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra).
.
It was of course a great recap of the Seerah too and a look at how Ali (ra) also married Fatima (ra), daughter of Prophet (pbuh) and the children they had.

This cut and stick activity is Available to purchase in our shop separately - www.mamateachesme.com - will be sold as part of the The Great Caliphs Resource pack too

The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) . Continuing The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra)
.
Continuing the final of the 4 Great Caliphs - we looked at the cousin of the Prophet (pbuh) Ali (ra) who was the first child to become Muslim. He grew up in the household of the Prophet (pbuh), he became son in law of the Prophet (pbuh) and was appointed some important and significant tasks during the life of the Prophet (pbuh).
.
Ali (ra) was given the task to return everyone’s money and goods that were kept in the care of the Prophet (pbuh) when he migrated to Madinah. He also lay asleep in the Prophet’s (pbuh) bed when the plot was to kill the Prophet (pbuh) - instead they found Ali (ra). 
.
We also calculated that Ali (ra) was 30 years younger than the Prophet (pbuh) so he was only about 10 when revelation came to the Prophet (pbuh) at age 40. 
.
Stay tuned for the other lessons - will be sharing the full resource pack and plans very soon iA

Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and hi Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and his amazing sadaqah jaariyah opportunities in Madinah, it reminded me of a sadaqah jaariyah project you can donate to in Makkah. 
.
Whilst on our travels to the Haram we discovered this place in the Clock Tower, ground Floor - straight ahead and on your left hand side as you enter through the main doors of the Clock Tower. 
.
It’s called Gayth. A small booth for donating money to charity and the poor in Makkah especially. You can also pay towards an Aqiqah, kaffarah, fidya (including for anything you may have done wrong during your Umrah etc ie not entered Makkah in Ihram for example) 
.
As the girls now receive pocket money, they both decided they wanted to donate towards a waqf project helping orphans and poor people in Makkah last year - a beautiful sadaqah jaariyah opportunity in Makkah Alhamdulillah. I had told them it adds barakah to their pocket money so they wanted to donate- Swipe to see more including their excitement to see their name on the receipt and to be a part of this project in Makkah 😌
.
Thought I’d share for those travelling for Umrah so you don’t miss out on this opportunity especially if you wanted to donate zakat or sadaqah too - they take cash or card at the booth or you can donate online https://ghaith.org.sa/ (the website is in Arabic) 
.
.
SAVE this post for your next visit or share with family or friends visiting! 
.
.
Are you often looking for new or different sadaqah jaariyah opportunities? How are you building for your Aakhirah?

“What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered? “What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered?” Was the reaction my eldest had to this final lesson on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) “Why would they murder the caliph?” She questioned - and rightly so.
.
And that’s exactly what we set out to explore. What events actually led to the murder of the 3rd Caliph? It was sad to read that a companion so close to the Prophet (pbuh) being his son in law twice and one of the 10 promised Jannah would be murdered. 
.
You can zoom into to read Ammarah’s findings but essentially when we discussed what had happened, we said some Muslims had become greedy. Greedy for land, power and money. It actually became a sad lesson by the end, especially when we saw how Uthman ibn Affan (ra) didn’t use force with the rebels so not to be the one who starts a civil war amongst the Muslims 😞 but then he was brutally murdered in his own home whilst reciting Quran - subhanAllah. 
.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. 
.

Follow along for the last few lessons on the 4th Caliph as we share and post this week!

We’ve travelled back to England for a few months We’ve travelled back to England for a few months now Alhamdulillah - like all who travel back from Umrah - our hearts still yearn for Makkah but we are grateful Allah is with us everywhere.

Alhamdulillah for the ease of travelling,  the fact that we can and the duas we can make. 
.
From the desert heat to the colder climate of the UK, always fascinated by Allah’s creation and blessings upon us Alhamdulillah.

JzkAllah khayr to our families for all the love and effort they show upon our return Alhamdulillah ❤️❤️ May Allah bless you with more Ameen!

Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Cyprus was conquered and other areas of Norther Africa the Islamic rule was solidified and the rebellion crushed in Armenia and Azerbaijan - this was just some of the victories in the time of Uthman (ra) becoming Caliph. Also, the first Muslim Navy was established and the Quran standardised into one script. There was much wealth and prosperity but sadly some who weren’t happy with the rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Ammarah was shocked to read that the 3rd Caliph was murdered in Madinah in his home whilst reciting Quran. What a sad state of affairs subhanAllah. 😞 
.
.
We concluded the lesson by adding our timeline to our display wall.

Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wid Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wide, there was a need to standardise the Quran for the purpose of reciting and so began the start of a written version of the Quran and including fatha, dharma and kasra- which were actually marked by dots. We got to explore Kufic script in detail and close up and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the difference and similarities between the script back then to how it is now. 
.
We found out that a committee of senior Sahaabah were given this task including the original scribe from time of the Abu Bakr’s (ra) Caliphate, Zaid ibn Thabit (ra) and others were appointed for this task. The original text that was collated and compiled into a book was in the possession of Hafsa bint Umar ibn al Khattab (ra). It was used as the base for this written standardised version. The Quran was then recited 3 times in front of Hufaadh (those who had memorised the Quran) included Uthman ibn Affan (ra) to double check it’s accuracy. 
.
Alhamdulillah as we know Allah Himself tells us - ‘’We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (Al-Hijr –Stone land-:9) Allah has promised us that He himself will preserve the Quran and protect it. 
.
Absolutely amazing that Uthman ibn Affan (ra) was honoured with this noble task. It’s absolutely amazing to have this miracle of the Preservation of the Quran and the fact that it is still a book that is read widely and memorised widely even today Alhamdulillah!
