Mandarin Chinese Year 1: Months of the year

This is an activity designed for children in their first year of learning Mandarin Chinese.

Writing activity 1: Write and repeat several times each month of the year in character form. They can also colour in the pictures.

Writing activity 2: Children read the example when forming dates and then they try to write the dates themselves in the subsequent activity. They may need several more examples before attempting this activity independently.

Reading comprehension: Children will need to have already mastered members of the family and learn to say where they live in Mandarin Chinese when correcting the incorrect information in this activity

Wordsearch activity: Children look for the months of the year in English in the wordsearch and then cross out the corresponding month in the list in Chinese
