Feminine and masculine game

This game was specifically designed to aid children in recognizing feminine and masculine words in the Arabic language. Most feminine words typically end with either ـة or ة. However, there are a few exceptions, such as أم and بنت. The game was tailored for a year 2 group, consisting of 6 to 7-year-old children. After providing an explanation of the distinction between feminine and masculine words, the children engaged in playing the game. They took turns either individually or in pairs. Whenever a student made a mistake, we regrouped as a class and collectively explored the correct answer. This time was utilized to reinforce the pupils’ understanding of the rules regarding feminine and masculine words. Each student had to select a word and affix it to the appropriate board, which I had prepared with separate sections for masculine and feminine words. This activity allowed the students to become more acquainted with masculine and feminine words in Arabic, which are referred to as مؤث and مذكر. To aid the students’ memory of feminine words, I even transformed the ـة and ة symbols into earrings that could be attached to the feminine board. The children thoroughly enjoyed this creative addition to the game.
