How to write numbers 1 to 10 in Chinese

The Year 2s have been learning how to count and write numbers to 10. They have done an amazing job. Here are some great videos for you to review the numbers at home. You can make flash cards and teach your family how to count in Mandarin!

Number songs

Here are some of our favourite number songs, especially for the junior school :)

Videos for Chinese characters

We have learned to write some Chinese characters include
日(ri, sun/day)
月(yue, moon/month)
山(shan, mountain)

These are all pictorial characters which have a history of thousands of years. The videos show you how they have changed from pictures to characters.

Song for body parts

'Head, shoulders, knees and toes' in Mandarin - please follow the song with action!
We had so much fun doing it in class, please practise at home and teach your family!


BBC Mandarin games

You can find lots of games in this website, which include topics such as numbers, colours, family, food, hobbies etc. Have fun!
