This week’s activity is an old favorite of many parties: charades! Now, despite the fact that charades is mostly a physical acting activity, the actual choosing and reading of the character cards they will be doing is helping children practice reading.
Your child will be acting out the characters and words they read on a card or slip of paper. The other children will be guessing what the first player is acting out.
Depending on the age of your child, you can increase or decrease the difficulty level of the activity by having multi-character words, terms, concepts, phrases, or idioms. If your children are really, young, you may want to provide easier cards such as animals, household objects, movies, shows, or easy actions.
For your older kids playing with more complicated cards, you may want to consider teaching your children some basic charades signals and gestures.
CATEGORY | ACTING SUGGESTIONS |

A small word | Put your index and thumb close together as if you’re representing a small word. |
A big word | Hold your index finger and thumb far apart as if you’re representing a big word. |
A word sounds like another word | Put your hand behind your ear as if you’re cupping it to hear better. |
Plural of the word | Hook both your little fingers together. |
We have seen children who were initially reluctant to do this activity because they weren’t quite sure what is wanted from them. But once they got the hang of it, they kept fighting over whose turn it was to act out the cards. In fact, long after the filming and photo taking were done, the children got extra cards and kept going for another 20-30 minutes and asked for harder cards.
我們希望能看到你的孩子做這些遊戲的照片或影片,也希望能聽到你的意見或提問。更歡迎加入我們的【講媽 ⦁ 講爸】Facebook 群組,我們等你喔

Take a break.
Learning and acquiring new skills takes time and effort. Unfortunately, we are teaching our children Chinese in the real world – where we work, send our kids to school, and take care of a thousand other little things. Sometimes, it can become overwhelming.
When that happens, there is no harm or shame in taking time to regroup and re-charge. In fact, after resting, there is often a renewed sense of purpose and drive.
我們會經常為大家探討漢字和語文的課題。
要是你有特別的相關課題希望我們探討,歡迎您告訴我們。
We discuss Chinese language and culture related topics on a regular basis.
If you would like us to discuss certain topics about Chinese, please let us know.
