What is Fun Words: Vegetables about?
Fun Words: Vegetables is an interactive word book for children aged 4 to 9 in which they discover vegetables from around the world and learn their names in English, in Arabic, or in both.
The cover is a little vegetable patch: an orange carrot with its leafy top, a head of broccoli, a long green cucumber, a brown mushroom and a small nut. They are foods children see in the kitchen, at the shops and on their plate.
Children choose English, Arabic or both. For each vegetable they listen to how its name is pronounced, then use the microphone to record themselves saying it, play it back and compare. The more they listen and repeat, the more natural the new words become.
Because vegetables are part of everyday meals, children can use their new words straight away, whether they are helping to cook, choosing at the market or naming what is on their plate. For children learning Arabic, the language of the Qur'an, it is a simple, practical way to grow their vocabulary.
Parents can bring the game into the kitchen: hold up a vegetable while you cook and ask your child for its name in English, then in Arabic. It may even help a fussy eater take an interest. Fun Words is a Miraj original.
