الْعِيدُ عَلَى شِفَاهِ الْأَطْفَالِ بَسْمَةٌ.

The holiday is a smile on the lips of children.

وَفَرْحَةٌ فِي الْعُمْرِ تَحْلُو وَتَحْلُو.

It is a joy in life that grows sweeter by the day.

فِي أَيَّامِكَ الْهَدَايَا تَمْلَأُ الْبُيُوتَ، وَتُفْرِحُ قُلُوبَ الْأَطْفَالِ.

During these days, gifts fill the homes and gladden the hearts of children.

أَتَأَمَّلُ الصُّورَتَيْنِ الْآتِيَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أُنَفِّذُ النَّشَاطَ.

I look at the two pictures below, then complete the activity.

أَصِفُ مَلَامِحَ الْأَشْخَاصِ فِي الصُّوَرِ السَّابِقَةِ.

I describe the features of the people in the previous pictures.

أُضِيفُ إِلَى الصُّورَتَيْنِ السَّابِقَتَيْنِ أَحَدَ مَظَاهِرِ الِاحْتِفَالِ بِالْأَعْيَادِ فِي مِنْطَقَتِي.

I add another way people in my region celebrate the holiday to the two previous pictures.

أُخْبِرُ زُمَلَائِي بِعِبَارَاتٍ يُرَدِّدُهَا النَّاسُ فِي الْعِيدِ تُنَاسِبُ الصُّورَتَيْنِ السَّابِقَتَيْنِ.

I share with my classmates phrases people say during the holiday that match the two previous pictures.

أَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى النَّصِّ مُرَاعِيًا الْجِلْسَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ، ثُمَّ أُنَفِّذُ النَّشَاطَ.

I listen to the text while sitting properly, then complete the activity.

أَذْكُرُ عِبَارَةً دَلَّتْ عَلَى التَّعَجُّبِ وَرَدَتْ فِي النَّصِّ.

I identify a phrase from the text that expresses wonder.

أَخْتَارُ الْإِجَابَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ فِي كُلٍّ مِمَّا يَأْتِي.

I choose the correct answer for each of the following.

وَصَفَ الشَّاعِرُ فِي الْمَقْطَعِ الْأَوَّلِ: ثِيَابَ الْعِيدِ، فَرْحَةَ الْعِيدِ، زِيَارَةَ الْجَدِّ.

In the first stanza, the poet describes: holiday clothes, the joy of the holiday, or visiting the grandfather.

كَلِمَةٌ تَكَرَّرَتْ فِي النَّصِّ: تَمْجِيدٌ، الْمَوَاعِيدُ، التَّقَالِيدُ.

A word repeated in the text: glorification, appointments, or traditions.

أَقْتَرِحُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عُنْوَانٍ لِلنَّصِّ.

I suggest more than one title for the text.
