“Where does the teacher live? In بيت المعلمة or شجرة كبيرة?”
A burst of laughter erupts in the classroom. Students huddle over cards, eagerly trying to match Arabic housing words with their correct meanings or images. This isn’t your typical worksheet—it’s the new Arabic educational game called “السكن” (As-Sakan), and it’s transforming how kids learn Arabic vocabulary.

🎮 What Is “السكن”?

السكن (As-Sakan), which means “Housing”, is a match-up style Arabic educational game where students match Arabic terms related to places of residence with their corresponding English meanings or illustrative icons.

Designed for beginner to intermediate Arabic learners—especially non-native English-speaking children—the game introduces essential housing-related vocabulary in a fun, engaging, and interactive format.

📌 How to Play the السكن Match-Up Game

✅ Objective:
Match Arabic vocabulary words related to housing (e.g., شقة، بيت، غرفة نوم) with their English meanings or images as quickly and accurately as possible.

✅ Materials Needed:

Printed or digital match-up cards (Arabic word on one side, English/image on the other)
Timer or stopwatch
Whiteboard for scoring
Optional: Embed game below for digital play

✅ Game Steps:

Shuffle the cards and place them face down in two groups: Arabic side and English/image side.
Players take turns flipping one card from each group to try to find a correct match.
If a match is made, they keep the pair and score a point.
If not, the cards are flipped back over.
Continue until all matches are made.
