Games for Teaching Chinese

Games are a useful and enjoyable way to practice language skills in the classroom. Playing games lowers the student's affective filter and engages the student in learning.

At our May 15, 2009, forum "Games for Teaching Chinese" we collected a treasury of language games which teachers who participate in our forums use in their Chinese language classrooms. These are collected in the following document:
