i teach hebrew school to non frum little children and i need to teach the letter ayin tomorrow. heres where my issue comes in- we usually give some sorta wacky or fun trick so the kids can remember the letter and the sound it makes, but I’m sort of not able to think of anything for ayin. any suggestions?????? thx! 🙂
an ayin is an eye. show them closed eye and say it makes no sound cause it’s sleeping.
k. but what did you do for Aleph?

Please don’t teach falsehood to your tots. Ayin is not Oleph:- Period!
Ayin does have a sight nasal sound. After all, where do you think the diminutive of Yankel came from Yaakov? Simple:- Because the Ayin in Yaakov as in in all Ayins, has a slight Gutteral/nasalised sound, so please please teach your students the correct & authentic & only way of pronouncing “Ayin”. Thank you.
147- yeah. like take them to a pool, plug their nose and dunk them, say “Aaaaaungyyiiiin” then come up. very effective that way, and there’s no other way it can be done-
It may be painful to them, but it’s better than teaching them a falsehood.
Absolutely. They could also gargle coffee and pronounce it at the same time. it totally works! Try it :D.
