Fruits

Lately, we started learning about Fruits (shui guo). The basic vocabulary we introduced are: 苹果(apple)、梨子(pear)、西瓜(watermelon)、桔子(orange)、草莓(strawberry)、葡萄(grape)、桃子(peach)、菠萝(pineapple)、香蕉(banana)、and 樱桃(cherry).

To help students memorize those new words, we "put" them on our body and had fun playing games with them. For example, we put apples on the head, strawberries hanging on ears, orange on nose, grapes in eyes, peaches in mouth, pineapple on arms and bananas on our figures! Of course, pretending. ; ) That way, in one of the games, we can touch a body part and say the name of that fruit out aloud!


We also made a booklet titled "All Kinds Of Fruits / 各种各样的水果", which has only four pages but makes a lovely, rhythmic poem.  On the last page of this booklet, we shared our favorite fruits by drawing them on that page. We'll learn a song to go with those words later on as well.
