MAKING BILINGUAL PARENTING EASY, FUN & DOABLE

Black History

It seems we can't find what you're looking for.

Hi, I’m Sunny, busy 媽咪 + believer, wrangling our talkative & silly four year old. Thanks for stopping by! I share tid-bits of what I’ve learned and created while teaching my daughter Mandarin Chinese in hopes of simplifying your journey. Hope you find some sunshine here.

🟠Bucket Toss Chinese Character Review🟠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🟠Do you have kids who are kinesthetic learners or love playing with balls? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Here’s an easy & fun review game that’s going to keep them entertained while reviewing Chinese!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🟠Materials:
✔️plastic containers (we use yogurt containers)
✔️construction paper (decorate the container)
✔️dry erase tape (so you can reuse it for new characters you’re learning)
✔️dry erase marker (you can also just use white duct tape and permanent marker or just write directly on the construction paper)
✔️balls (if you don’t have balls at home, just bunch up some ads or used sheets of paper)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🟠 Game Tips: have either you or your child read aloud the character on the bucket when a ball is tossed in. I made a graph for her to keep track of which character is winning since my daughter is super competitive. For siblings it’s a good way to have some competition without competing with each other. Sadie loves playing this game and will play for 30 min +. She even makes awards for the characters that win 😂

🟠Have fun reviewing!
