5 Best Free Chinese Audiobooks for Children learning Mandarin

Ever heard of 'Good Night Gorilla' 晚安大猩猩? It's one of those timeless classics that kids just can't get enough of, and parents secretly love too! Picture this: a wordless book filled with expressive illustrations that practically beg you to make up your own story as you go along. It's like a creative free-for-all every time you open it!

I swear, my kiddo and I have made a game out of finding all the hidden gems in those illustrations. You've got your flashlight, your moon, a sneaky little balloon...oh, and don't forget about that mischievous gorilla and his zoo pals! Every night, it's a new adventure.

Learn Chinese Through Storybooks

But here's the kicker: we've taken our love for 'Good Night Gorilla' to the next level. We've cooked up this awesome set of Chinese learning activities inspired by the book. This is the first time we've ever created supplementary materials for a storybook! Picture this: coloring, cutting, pasting – all while learning some Chinese words! And if you're short on time (who isn't?), we've got you covered with a colored version too.

Frozen-themed Activities and Crafts for Kids Learning Chinese

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.

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.
