Label the house and the vocabulary sticks. This free printable page walks from 房子 (fáng zi, house) and 房间 (fáng jiān, room) through 客厅, 卧室, 厨房, 洗手间 and 阳台, finishing with 门 (mén, door), 窗户 (chuāng hu, window), 楼上 and 楼下 for upstairs and downstairs. Every word prints with pinyin above 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids.
房, 室 and 厅: three ways to say room
Chinese picks a different second character depending on what the space is for. 房 covers working rooms, giving 厨房 for the kitchen and 书房 for a study. 室 is a more formal enclosed room and produces 卧室, where 卧 means to lie down, so a bedroom is literally the lying-down room. 厅 is a hall, so 客厅 is the guest hall, the room where visitors are received. The bathroom takes its own polite route: 洗手间 means the wash-hands room, while 卫生间 is the plainer hygiene room and 厕所 is blunter still.
门, 户 and counting rooms
门 draws a pair of swinging gate leaves, and 户, half of that gate, sits inside 房 as a reminder that a room begins with a door. Rooms are counted with 间, the measure word you see in 一间卧室 or 两间房, and 户 counts households. If another noun trips you up, the Chinese measure word finder will sort it out.
Trace the guided strokes, then write each room from memory in the empty squares. Stick the finished page on the fridge, or make a version with your own furniture list in the Chinese worksheet generator.

Frequently asked questions
Is this worksheet free to download as a PDF?
Yes. The House & Rooms worksheet is free to print or save as a PDF, with no account or email needed. Press Print / Download PDF: on a computer the PDF opens ready to print or save, and on a phone it goes to your share sheet. A4 or US Letter follows your country.
What level is this worksheet?
It suits learners from about HSK 3. That is an editorial estimate for the House & Rooms topic, not an official HSK word list, so a few of its 11 words may be harder. Each word prints with tone-marked pinyin and an English meaning to help.
Can I print copies for my class?
Yes. Print as many copies as you like — it's free. For a class set, press Change the words and open More options to add an answer key, a class line or a dictation page; the Student PDF leaves the key out. Test turns the sheet into a quiz.
Can I change the words or use traditional characters?
Yes. Press Change the words to open this sheet in the generator, then add, remove or replace words, up to 20 per sheet. Set Characters to Traditional to switch the whole sheet to traditional characters; a word with no verified traditional form stays as you typed it.
How should I practice with this worksheet?
Trace the gray guides first, saying each word aloud, then cover the model and write the characters from memory in the blank boxes. Scan the sheet's QR code or open the Practice tab to watch each stroke animate, trace it, then recall it without a guide. Revisit missed words a day or two later.
