A message from Captain Nour for you
Hey Omar! Just like every football player has a special skill, every animal has its own feature and ability. Today we'll meet the animal team and describe each one in English!
💡 Imagine, Omar, a football team of animals: the giraffe is the tall defender — The giraffe has a long neck. The elephant is the strong, heavy midfielder — The elephant is very big and heavy. The monkey is the quick winger — The monkey can climb trees. Notice: has for body parts, is for a quality, can for an ability.
