Overview:

This novice low to novice mid Chinese activity helps students describe their daily routines. The activity starts off by quickly reviewing how to tell time using a provided clock printout (with Chinese numbers). Students then randomly select 4-5 activity cards (provided) and use these verbs to create a daily schedule. The goal is to be creative based on the actions that were drawn. Upper level students can use these resources to work in pairs to interview each other about their daily activities.
