Chinese Treasure Chest is an unprecedented collection of ready-to-use games, songs, craft projects, delightfully illustrated student worksheets and teacher-directed activities
to help elementary students learn Chinese as a foreign language.

This imaginative teaching resource (two-volume set) contains hundreds of reproducible pages of activities designed around themes in the elementary curriculum and organized into 12 monthly sections to fit the school year. Themes include Introduction, Greetings, Numbers, Family, Telling Time, Body Parts, Food, Colors, School, Hobbies, Animals, Weather and Feelings.

Students learn the Chinese language and culture through games, songs, crossword puzzles, cut-outs, picture cards, TPR activities, role-play, chants and conversations. Also included are seasonal activities to help students celebrate special events and holidays of each month. The beginning pages of each section offer teacher notes on the learning objectives and difficulty level of each activity, and how to implement it to get the best results.

A joint effort of three experienced Chinese teachers, Chinese Treasure Chest encapsulates 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!
