Here’s a game you can play to teach animal names in Chinese, including word recognition if your child is old enough (3 yrs).

Kids are naturally attracted to animals, so animals are a great place to start when teaching them to recognize Chinese words.
Kids are naturally attracted to animals, so animals are a great place to start when teaching them to recognize Chinese words.
This word recognition game is suitable for children above 3 years old, but hey, if your child is particularly advanced, go for it!
Here’s what you will need:
Pictures of animals – I found these from a jog saw puzzle lying around the house.
Clear Pocket sheets (you can find these in any stationary shop. Or use a clear folder)
Printed Chinese characters of the animal names
You can download these animal names by clicking on the link below.

Remember, heap lots of praises . If you can sense that the child is tired, it’s okay to try again next time. So, have fun with this activity!
你做得那么好，妈妈给你一颗星星！
Love it! I am currently living in Miami and was asked by my American neighbor to help her 6-year old daughter with her chinese. Her school had hired a chinese teacher to teach the students chinese. As expected, my neighbor’s daughter is struggling. I am a Singaporean and my chinese is only half past six! 🙂 Thank you so much for your website!
Thank you! Please let me know if there is anything you want to watch 🙂
