He simply loves numbers and I have started to teach him numbers in Arabic. Was looking for materials (as I come from a non-arabic speaking family) and found your blog and worksheets. You cant imagine how thrilled I am!!! Will be seeing him tmr and so looking fwd to trying out the worksheets with him - I am sure we will be having a great time :) Thank you for your generosity.

I was looking for stuff that would help the local ustas at a Gambian nursery. Only slight problem was that you did not write (in English for me) how to pronounce the numbers.

However, there are a lot of math games that you can use for Arabic even though they are meant for English. For example, we recently borrowed from the library a book about Curious George Counts to 100 (or something like that). We go though the book and I have my daugther count through the pages in Arabic instead of English. The way I usually come up with ideas is to see what is implemented in teaching children math in English and changing it to teach them Arabic. We also just purchased a game called "Hi-ho Cherry-O" which I intend to play with the girls both in Arabic and English. What about other games - Uno, for instance? You could easily create your own game with Arabic numbers - have the children learn the color names, etc. It just takes some cardstock and either a printer or your own handwriting. I know I'm making it sound simple - but things don't have to be perfect in order to be learning tools. Personally, I think the opportunities for learning Arabic this way are limitless. The problem is - we are used to trying to find a book in English to teach English and forget that we can use them also to teach bilingual studies (we just need to think creatively).
