In Mandarin in G3 we are learning to:
1. Say the appearance in Mandarin
2. Say the opposite words in Mandarin
3. Write a piece of descriptive writing of one’s appearance in Chinese characters
Learning the appearance in Mandarin is not too difficult. Once the students know how to say the words of body parts, they can make specific sentences describing the appearance. In datails, the body parts and opposite words are:
身体 shēn tǐ (body)
脸 liǎn (face)
头 tóu (head)
头发 tóu fa (hair)
眼睛 yǎn jing (eye)
鼻子 bí zi (nose)
耳朵 ěr duo (ear)
嘴巴 zuǐ ba (mouth)
口 kǒu (mouth)
手 shǒu (hand)
脚 jiǎo (foot)
舌头 shé tou (tongue)
大 dà (big)
小 xiǎo (small)
高 gāo (tall)
矮 ǎi (short)
长 cháng (long)
短 duǎn (short)
胖 pàng (fat)
瘦 shòu (thin)
方 fāng (square)
圆 yuán (round)
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 body parts and opposite.
Search for laoshilinda (all one word lower case) and then choose body and opposite.

You do not need to know any Mandarin yourself to use any of these resources.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
