The answers are at the back of the book. ## Who it's for Children aged 6 to 8 learning their first Chinese calendar, clock and weather words, with a parent at home or a teacher running morning circle time. Grown-ups don't need to speak Chinese. Before you start: It helps if your child can count from 1 to 12 in Chinese, since days, months and times are all built on numbers. Every line has pinyin and English, and the free audio reads each line with a pause to say it back. ## Why is Sunday 星期天 and not a number? Monday to Saturday are 星期 plus one to six, but Sunday has its own word: 星期天. On calendars you may also see 星期日 (xīngqīrì), which means the same day. ## Does it teach minutes, or only o'clock and half past? Only o'clock and half past, which suits ages 6 to 8: 三点 and 三点半. It also covers the one tricky time, two o'clock, which is 两点 and never 二点. ## Can I use it for morning circle time in class? Yes. Page 11 is a circle-time routine with the day, the date and the weather, and page 10 is a weather chart to fill in across a week. A real wall calendar and a clock with hands make it more fun. ## Is this workbook free? Yes. The whole 13-page PDF is free, and you can look through its pages here before you download.
