Hi there! Today, we’re going to have some fun with painting and learning new words. Our friend Franny is painting a picture of Lulu. But wait, something is missing from the picture! Can you guess what it is?
Franny wants to make sure the picture is perfect. She thinks something is missing, and Tilly knows what it is. It’s the ears! But what does “ears” mean? Let’s call Word Wally to help us learn!
Word Wally is here to teach us words in two languages: English and Mandarin. Let’s learn together!
First, we have the mouth. We use it to make silly noises. In Mandarin, we say “Zuǐ.”
Next, we have the eyes. We use them to see what we’re painting. In Mandarin, they are called “Yǎnjing.”
Then, there’s the nose. We use it to smell yummy food. In Mandarin, it’s “Bízi.”
And finally, the missing part is the ears. In Mandarin, we say “Ěrduo.”
Now that we’ve learned these new words, let’s have a word party! Sing along and shout out the words:
♪ Hey, have you heard? It’s a word party ♪
♪ Learn new words for a word party ♪
– Mouth! – Zuǐ!
– Eyes! – Yǎnjing!
– Nose! – Bízi!
– Ears! – Ěrduo!
♪ Word party! ♪
Franny has fixed the picture by adding pretty, purple panda ears to Lulu. Now, it’s a great picture because Lulu is the best!
Thanks for learning and painting with us. Remember, learning new words is fun and exciting!
Face Parts Matching Game: Create a simple matching game using cards. On one set of cards, draw pictures of the parts of the face: mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. On another set, write the English and Mandarin words for each part. Mix them up and let the children match the pictures with the correct words. This will help reinforce their memory of the new vocabulary.
Paint Your Own Picture: Provide the children with paper and paints to create their own portraits. Encourage them to include all the parts of the face they learned about: mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. As they paint, ask them to say the English and Mandarin words for each part. This activity combines creativity with language learning.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the classroom or playground. Ask them to observe and point out objects that have similar parts to the face, like a clock with “eyes” (hands) or a door with a “mouth” (handle). Encourage them to use the new words they learned in both English and Mandarin to describe what they see.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
