Chinese Studies for kids and teens.
Our school has been approved as the Overseas Compatriot School from the Department of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan. The advantage of our text books is that they include both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters as well as both zhu yin and pinyin phonetics system to help our young learners to master the language. I've always wished my children could learn both systems and these books turn my dream into reality!

Most children love role play. I divided the children into groups and tell them to make a short play according to the content of lesson. I told them it's a competition to make it even more interesting. First I asked them to draw different props, then they need to decide among themselves for each role. I gave them few minutes to practice. Here's a video of one group I recorded.
