Letter Line · train 3 of 5
All aboard!
Which carriage looks like a boat? Which one has the most dots?
Carriage cards
Cut along the dashed lines and colour the carriages in. Then play the games with the real cards.
Line them up and count the dots
1. Write the missing letters in order, starting next to the engine.
2. How many dots? Write the number under each letter, in Arabic or English.
For the grown-up: one train, four stations
About ten minutes. There is no score: a wrong try is just part of the ride.
1. Inspire
Lay the train out on the floor or table. Count the carriages together and ask: Which letters share a body and differ only by their dots?
2. Investigate
Count the dots on each letter. Above or below?
3. Integrate
Put the carriages in hijaiyyah order while singing the letters.
4. Impart
Swap roles: your child is the conductor and shows you a card. You read it, and they check you. Then stamp the ticket.
With fathah: letters 13–18
Conductor: ____________________ Date: __________
