Chinese Playgroup #2 🏡♥

On the weekend of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Another six-year-old joined playgroup, so we have five kids total.

1. SONGS:
1a. 我的朋友在哪里 (Where is My Friend?)
Show/teach them the ASL gestures for 我的 (My), 朋友 (Friend), 在哪里 (Where) and 在这里 (Here).
1b. Teach them 小白兔，白又白 (Little white bunny)

2. INTRODUCTION:
Introduce their sibling instead of themselves.
"这是我的RELATION. 我的RELATION叫NAME. 我的RELATION AGE岁了."

I modeled the introduction by introducing V as 我的朋友. The kids did a round robin introduction.

3. SHOW AND TELL:
"这是OBJECT." One or two additional sentence about the object's color/size/physical characteristics. Ask follow-up questions as appropriate.

The kids brought interesting objects. River shared his sheep minifigure: "这是我的小羊。我的小羊是白色的。" A shared her drawing of a galaxy.
Brooks also shared his drawing: "这是我的画儿。我画了一只小兔子。" (This is my drawing. I've drawn a little bunny.)
