? In this post we’ll be learning how to play an Arabic game that can make improving your vocabulary and spelling skills fun!<\/p>\n

Growing up in Jordan, at school, in between lessons, we played a game<\/strong> \u0644\u064f\u0639\u0652\u0628\u0629<\/strong> called \u201c\u062d\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0641 – \u0625\u0633\u0645 – \u062d\u064e\u064a\u0648\u0627\u0646<\/strong>\u201d meaning \u201cletter- name \u2013 animal<\/strong>\u201d. Each player has a piece of paper divided into seven columns and at the top of each column you have the following:<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u062d\u064e\u0631\u0641 – \u0625\u0633\u0645 – \u062d\u064e\u064a\u0648\u0627\u0646 – \u062c\u064e\u0645\u0627\u062f – \u0628\u0650\u0644\u0627\u062f – \u0637\u064e\u0639\u0627\u0645 – \u0646\u0650\u0642\u0627\u0637\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

meaning:\u00a0 letter \u2013 name \u2013 animal \u2013 non-living thing \u2013 country \u2013 food – points.<\/p>\n

Each player has a turn to pick a letter and once that letter is chosen everyone begins filling in the first row with words that begin with that letter as fast as they can: Here is an example below:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone must stop writing once one of the players says he\/she is finished.<\/p>\n

When it comes to counting points, if you wrote down a word that no one else wrote, you get 10 points, if someone else had the same word, you get 5 points. If you couldn\u2019t think of a word, you get 0 points. Of course, by finishing first, you get an extra 10 as long as all your words make sense.<\/p>\n

The game would last around 5 to 10 rows. Once everyone decides to end the game, each player counts their points and the one with the most points is the winner<\/strong> \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0627\u0626\u0650\u0632.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if you recall me mentioning in my first introductory blog post that I moved to Jordan as a 10-year-old which is when I began learning Arabic. This game was a very fun way for me to learn more words and practice my spelling. As Arabic learners, you could definitely play this with other Arabic learners\/speakers or play by yourself if you don\u2019t mind the competing aspect taken out of the fun. ? You can always add or remove categories and make it your own.<\/p>\n

I hope you try playing this game! It\u2019s a fun way to test your Arabic vocabulary and spelling skills! ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"arabic
