Heart / Xīn (Mandarin Fun for Preschoolers)

With the celebration of Valentine’s Day this month, it was relevant for the children                            
to learn the Mandarin word for heart, which is xīn. The children explored their environment that gave them the opportunity to practice saying heart in Mandarin. For children, repetition and children directed activities are key to learning.
 

Katie and Caitlyn enjoyed making heart shaped cookies.
 

Sara decorated her xīn with hóng sè (red), huáng sè (yellow), zǐ sè  (purple) and lán sè (blue).
 

Jaslynn liked stamping and seeing the different designs on the paper.
 

Chloe pretended that the hóngxīn (red hearts) were gummies.
 
 
With Valentine’s Day coming up, do not forget to tell your loved ones
 


Until next time,

Patricia
