Linguistic Games in Our Children's Hands 2 (Ages 9-11)

Author: Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Sheikh - Al-Arabiya for All

The second  volume in the series of linguistic games accompanying the "Arabic Between Your Children's Hands" series.

Each volume contains 100 games addressing various language skills. We have ensured an attractive presentation. These games can be played both inside and outside the classroom, in a competitive and engaging format. Students can play these games with classmates, friends, and relatives, both indoors and outdoors.

This series is not part of the curriculum but complements it. The teacher chooses the game and the time to present it based on what they find suitable for their students. If presented correctly, these games will bring joy, fun, and benefit to the students.

The series also serves as a resource for those interested in writing educational materials and tools. It includes a detailed introduction and solutions to the games at the end of the book. Al-Arabiya for All has adopted and published this series. Teachers can develop and invent new games.

Linguistic Games:

Linguistic games are among the most important activities for communicative language teaching. Since the language classroom is an artificial environment for language learning, linguistic games reduce the artificiality surrounding classroom teaching and achieve a high degree of realism in language practice. They are an important complement to the educational process. Learning a language can be difficult for both adults and children. Playing in a joyful and fun atmosphere helps in successful teaching, while also fostering a spirit of competition among students and their ability to work in groups.

Teachers will also enjoy these linguistic games if they stimulate their creativity and imagination to invent new games and develop existing ones. Some games from this book can also be transformed into exercises if needed.
