Within each month, there will be featured topics (e.g., greetings, schools, weather) and cultural/seasonal themes. Activities are carefully selected so that different difficulty levels are available for the teacher to choose from, to cater to beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.
Students learn the Chinese language and culture through games, songs, crossword puzzles, picture cards, TPR activities, role-play, chants and conversations. This book offers plenty of ideas for such activities. It will make the classroom experience more fun, enriching and rewarding for teachers and students alike!
Each section begins with teacher notes that states the learning objectives and difficulty level of each activity, and offers suggestions on how to implement an activity to get the best results.
Chinese Treasure Chest is a joint effort of three experienced Chinese teachers, and encapsulates their years of teaching experience and innovative approaches to teaching young children. It will make the classroom experience more fun, more enriching and more rewarding for teachers and students alike!
"it's a real godsend for primary school teachers and is especially good for a Mandarin Club as it has lots of arty/crafty type activities as well as songs." by Ms A. Hickman, Mandarin teacher of North London Collegiate School.
"I purchased the Chinese Treasure Chest published by Cengage Learning which was mentioned on the forum in the summer. I paid about £70 for 2 books of reproducible resources and I have to say, it's been worth every penny. There are songs, games, things to make and cultural activities - it's brilliant and has saved me hours and hours of preparation time. The activities are of varied levels, from Y1 - Y8. I have been using the older activities for Y7 & 8 but there are plenty of things for much younger pupils which I have not used yet." by Penny Lynch, Teacher in South Wirral High School, Upton-by-Chester High School, St Brigid’s School Denbigh and Argoed High School in Flintshire.
Presented in Simplified/Traditional Character, Pinyin and English. Ages 5+ and above.
