The Initial Letter Game

This PowerPoint game is a fun and interactive way for pupils to practice identifying the first sound of Arabic words while learning to distinguish between letters with similar sounds. Each slide features audio that plays the word clearly for pupils to listen carefully. Below, four letter options are displayed, inviting players to select the correct first letter of the word. Through this engaging format, learners get repeated practice in recognizing initial sounds and honing their skills in differentiating between letters with close phonetic similarities, such as “ذ” (dhāl) and “ز” (zāy) or “ض” (ḍād) and “ظ” (ẓāʾ). This game offers an enjoyable way for beginners to build essential Arabic phonetic skills, combining visual, auditory, and interactive elements that make learning memorable
