This week, we’re back to matching characters. For younger children, matching is a helpful way to learn characters. Matching characters to pictures is also a wonderful way to learn, too.
ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK
WHAT YOU NEED 道具
- 思展閱讀練習卡 (或自製字卡) Basic Chinese 500 Study Cards (or make your own), separated into nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
- Wooden clothespins, tokens, bottle caps, cards, etc.
- Pens
- A4 sheet of paper
HOW TO MAKE 準備
- On an A4 sheet of paper, write a bunch of different characters all over in varying sizes and colors. If you are using clothespins, make sure you write the characters on the edge of the sheet.
- On the wooden clothespins or bottle caps, write the same characters (one on each)
ACTIVITIY 1 - Matching Characters
(age 3+, single/multiple player)
HOW TO PLAY 玩法
- Place the sheet in front of your child along with all the pins or bottle caps.
- Have your child match the pins by clipping onto the sheet or by placing the bottle caps on top of the matching character.
Multiplayer version: Have multiple sheets and bottle caps and they can do the activity at the same time. Or, the kids can work together on the same sheet. Or, you can have only ONE set of pins/caps and whoever makes the most matches wins.
Alternative ideas: If the children are older, you can add a timed element to the game. They can have 30 seconds to match as many as they can. Or you can have more characters on the sheet of paper. Or you can have more characters on the sheet than pins or vice versa.

HOMESCHOOLING TIPS
閃卡看起來很有效，但要孩子真正掌握到生字，還是要靠對上文下理的理解。對不少家長來說，用閃卡讓孩子操練看起來很有效，家長用起來也簡單有把握。
但別忘了：認字的最終目的是要會閱讀文章、理解整個故事的情節文理，而不是要認出所有的閃卡。因此，即使孩子認讀閃卡有困難，也別擔心。也許他看故事時反而更能理解。而你最終就是希望他能閱讀和理解，不是嗎？
Flashcards are great – but context is better. It is really tempting to drill our children with flashcards because it seems to be a concrete way to see progress.
However, we need to remember that the point of knowing the characters is to be able to read in context and not to know the flashcards as an end result. So, if your child isn’t great at flashcards, don’t worry. They may do better with actual reading (and ultimately, that’s what you want).
