Frozen-themed Activities and Crafts for Kids Learning Chinese

I am sure you have heard of “Let it go” from Frozen a million times if you have kids or been around kids. And not to mention having to watch it again and again because somehow your kids never tire of the first Frozen or the second Frozen movie.

Maybe it’s time to switch it up a little? Use their obsession with Frozen to your advantage? If your kids are die hard Frozen fans, you will find it very easy to slip in some Frozen themed activities that help them learn Chinese! Maybe this sounds sneaky but as a parent or teacher, you know that dealing with persistent kids require some special tactics 😉.

My nephew for one is a true Frozen fan. He loves singing all the songs especially The Frozen Heart (Ice Worker’s Song). He would use a little stick prop as his ice saw when he sing along. Anyways, since he’s such a huge fan, I couldn’t help but come up with a few Chinese learning activities to entice him.

It’s all about making things relevant for your kids when it comes to learning Chinese or any subject. If your kids already love the movie Frozen, give them Frozen [冰雪奇緣] activities in Chinese. They will be eager to participate because they already love anything Frozen. It will be as easy as pie to introduce your kids vocabularies and Chinese characters from the movie. And next time you watch the movie together, ask them to find those words they learned for a little repetition practice. The same technique can be applied to other areas of interests. If your kids like dinosaurs, look for Chinese learning activities and games on dinosaurs.

• Play songs in Chinese: Let it go [隨它吧].
• Read picture books in Chinese: Frozen I & Frozen II in traditional Chinese.

If your kids enjoy crafting, this snowman project will knock their socks off! Its literally made with a sock! This easy project is also perfect for kids parties or holiday crafting. The steps are simple and the final result is guaranteed to impress any little Frozen fans. Here are what you need, feel free to swap things out if you have something else around the house.
