Introduction
Let’s add a splash of color to our Mandarin learning journey! In this chapter, kids will learn how to say and recognize colors in Mandarin Chinese. Perfect for young learners just starting out, this chapter mixes vocabulary, sentence-building, and creative activities.
🌈 1. Basic color words (颜色 – yán sè) in Mandarin
🧠 2. Practice Time: What Color Is It?
Let kids practice asking and answering questions like:
🎨 Use colored pencils, blocks, or toy fruits to play guessing games or sorting activities.
✍️ 3. Let’s Make a Color Book!
Have kids draw items for each color and label them in Mandarin. For example:
A red apple (红色的苹果)
A green leaf (绿色的叶子)
This helps link vocabulary to visuals!
🗣️ 4. Try Simple Sentences
Encourage children to build simple color-based sentences:
我喜欢蓝色。Wǒ xǐ huān lán sè. – I like blue.
我不喜欢黑色。Wǒ bù xǐ huān hēi sè. – I don’t like black.
