Letter Prefixes In The Quran

In the Quran, adding certain letters to the beginning of a word will change its meaning. During our study of Surah Moorsalaat, the boys and I explored 8 different prefixes. After reading through the lesson we made these paint palate prefix craft. 

We focused on these 8 letter prefixes from this chart. 

Then the boys and I cut a paint palate from brown construction paper. 

We added 'paint' using colored paper. 

For the top part of the flap we wrote the Arabic word with the 

letter prefix. On the inside, we wrote the meaning in English. 

Ad Duha Institute Tafseer Juz 29 Book

This was a simple and fun activity to enhance our Quranic vocabulary. I hope you try it with your kids.

Quranic Vocabulary Resources

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you some of our favorite resources for teaching Quranic Vocabulary in our homeschool. 

1. Mini Tafseer Series 

Each book has 5 to 10 words from the Surah

2. Arabic Sight Words

3. 80% Quranic Words

These are the three resources we used often for myself and my boys. I hope it will be of benefit to you in your Quran journey. None of the links are affiliate links. They are there for your convenience. 

Community Helpers Arabic Activities

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you our community helpers Arabic themed activities. For this unit study we used Journey with Inas Arabic program. You can still purchase the online program. She has crafts, stories, printables, and songs. I can't recommend Inas's programs enough. It has brought a love of Arabic to our home. Here are some of the activities we did at home.

To begin our dive into this wonderful program I painted peg dolls for the boys. I brought one out for each week we studied a new helper. 

We learned about farmers using stories, songs, and planting together. 

Next we learned about police officers. 

We also got to dress up and arrest bad guys. 

With each community helper we learned about we also learned about what vehicles they drive. 

When we learned about chiefs we got to make banana bread and follow along with Inas in Fusha. I appreciated all the rich vocabulary she used and my boys were learning without filling in worksheets. 

More dressing up.

Our favorite activity was our neighborhood walk. Inas provided us with a printable to find different buildings and community helpers in our own town. This was so much fun. 

This is just some of the activities we did during our community helper theme. Please check out Inas's website for more Arabic classes. 

We also played with our town mat a lot.
