What is Flip-Flop FUN?
高深莫測的漢字，其實也活潑多變，充滿了趣味和玩味。只要摸熟了漢字的脾性，孩子的談吐就不其然地優雅起來了，寫出的作品自然地繽紛多彩了，對繪本和故事的欣賞力和批判能力也隨然地提升了。所以，修辭是幼兒語文啟蒙的重要一環。
反斗歌用輕鬆、充滿童趣的手法，結合了具科學性、有系統性的編輯，以平凡的句子將多種修辭知識滲透到孩子的語文能力中，從而千變萬化，讓孩子的語文綻放出奪目的光彩。
反斗歌集中讓幼兒透過節奏明快的短句學習：
- 同義詞
- 反義詞
- 詞性，包括名詞、動詞、形容詞、助詞、感嘆詞
反斗歌可以說是傳統「聲律啟蒙」的現代化版，不但將漢語的聲律對韻特色展現在孩子面前，而是內容和用語更貼合現代兒童的生活世界，用孩子一看就懂、一聽就明白的語文，透過生活化的場景，以孩子能馬上學以致用為前提，讓孩子更能精準地運用語文。
反斗歌完全採用基礎漢字500課程中所教授的字，鼓勵信心級以上的孩子獨立閱讀和理解。書中的文以全新的組詞和句法出現，成為孩子閱讀理解和語文應用的示範，擴闊了孩子的語文發展空間。一旦孩子能瑯瑯上口了，他的書寫和談吐都能增加文采和說服力，不但能增加孩子的自信，亦能為他長遠的語文和思維發展扎下穩固的基礎。
Although Chinese may appear mysterious and difficult at times, it is also fun and playful. Once children understand the temperament of the characters and words, their speech adopts a touch of elegance, and their writing becomes more colourful. They also start to read picture books and stories with a higher level of critical appreciation. Rhetoric is indeed an important endeavor for the young mind.
Flip-Flop Fun is fun, light hearted, yet systematic and logical. It introduces numerous rhetorical skills to the child, simply through using basic words that the child has already acquired. The child will have a better grasp of the power of language. Their speech and writing shine with variety and fun.
The quick and lively tempo of the Flip-Flop Fun allows the child to learn:
- Antonyms
- Synonyms
- Parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, interjections and more.
The Book of Rhymes has long been children’s first book of Chinese rhetoric. Flip-Flop Fun is its modern version. It vividly displays the unique phonetic and rhyming patterns of Chinese, Putonghua to be specific, and its rhythms and forms. In contrast to the traditional Book of Rhymes, Flip-Flop Fun uses content from our modern-day world which children can easily relate to and understand. The everyday-life scenarios in the book allow children to practice their newly acquired linguistic skills immediately.
Flip-Flop Fun only uses characters taught in the Basic Chinese 500 course. It encourages children who are studying Confident Reader and up to read and comprehend independently. The same characters form completely new words and sentence structures, offering additional examples of how the characters are used. It builds your child’s linguistic power. We encourage children to read the books aloud regularly until they can recite them naturally. When your child can internalise the language, they will write and talk with more confidence and flare. They will have a greater persuasive power. It builds your child’s logical thinking, linguistic development and confidence in the long run.

vol. 1 第一冊
從「天上鳥，地上草」開始，孩子同時接觸到了對比和韻語。
以日常生活的人物和活動為主題，小朋友容易理解，也能現學現用。書中每一句話都用了豐富的動詞、形容詞、副詞⋯⋯ 小朋友自然地能形成對身邊事物的形態和特徵留心觀察的習慣和能力。
Beginning with the sentences「天上鳥，地上草」(birds in the sky, grass on the ground), children are introduced to both rhymes and linguistic contrasts.
The themes are based upon people and activities of our everyday lives which are easy for children to comprehend, allowing them to apply what they learn. Every sentence is embellished with details: adjectives and adverbs are used to describe scenarios, people, animals and their actions. On top of being a linguistic study, this also guides children to pay attention to their surroundings and sharpens their observation skills.

With the foundation laid down in Vol. 1, Vol 2 deepens the study of vocabulary and grammar while following the same rhetorical pattern. The sentences are slightly longer, and the words are more complex.

the bright red sun – the clear white moon
It also introduces some abstract concepts:
real – fake
Furthermore, there are a few new characters that are beyond the Basic Chinese 500 curriculum:

反斗歌的建議使用方法
- 多讀。最好高聲朗讀，讀到能背誦如流。
- 利用書中顏色標籤，集中認識名詞 (咖啡色)、形容詞 (紅色) 及動詞 (綠色/藍色)。
- 當孩子對書中句子熟練之後，每組句子抽掉一句，由孩子練習造句：句中顏色詞部分，另行配上詞類相同的詞。(歡迎參閱Blog中相關的文章。)
- 利用文中的顏色標籤詞，由孩子造出新的句子/句組。
How to use Flip-Flop Fun
- Read. Read aloud and often, until the child can recite the verses by heart.
- With the help of the colour codes, focus on learning the parts of speech: nouns (brown), adjectives (red), verbs (green/blue).
- Once your child is familiar with the verses, pick one verse from each couplet and ask the child to practice writing their own verse: where the words in a verse are in colour, find new words which are of the same parts of speech (please refer to some related posts on our blog).
- Make use of the colour coded words in the book, and invite your child to create new verses or couplets.
