The first activity book expands on the first student's book and reinforces acquired skills and linguistic structures. Each of the 25 lessons in the student's book has 3 accompanying pages in the activity book. Students can begin the activities in class with a teacher’s help and can complete them at home. Teachers should collect books from students after each lesson to correct them.

تعد مادة كتاب التدريبات الأول امتداد لكتاب التلميذ الأول وتعميقا لها، وتعزيزًا لما اكتسبه من مهارات وعناصر لغوية، فكل درس من دروس كتاب التلميذ الخمسة والعشرين، يقابله في كتاب التدريبات ثلاث صفحات يؤديها التلميذ في الفصل بمعاونة المعلم، وإذا لم يتمكن التلميذ من الانتهاء من الصفحات الثلاث في الحصة، يمكن أن يكلف بأداء ما تبقى من المنزل، ثم يجمع المعلم الكتب من التلاميذ بعد كل درس لتصحيحها.
