In datails, the extended family members are: 爷爷 yé ye (grandpa, dad's dad) 奶奶 nǎi nai (grandma, dad's mum) 伯伯 bó bo (dad's elder brother) 叔叔 shū shu (dad's younger brother) 姑姑 gū gu (dad's sister) 外公 wài gōng (grandpa, mum's dad) 外婆 wài pó (grandma, mum's mum) 舅舅 jiù jiu (mum's brother) 姨妈 yí mā (mum's sister) 表哥 biǎo gē (cousin, an older boy) 表姐 biǎo jiě (cousin, an older girl) 表弟 biǎo dì (cousin, a younger boy) 表妹 biǎo mèi (cousin, a younger girl) I have made a set of cards on Quizlet (quizlet.com or download the app for phone or ipad) to help your child practice learning the extended family.
