The Asia Society Website has so many great links for kids. In fact, they have a link to learn to count Chinese...the best part is that they have a function called Speak it Now so that one can listen to how the words are pronounced. Although they have limited vocabulary (numbers and familial terms), it would be great to get the kids motivated about a unit on China! Another great feature is the link to Visbile Traces, a site in which students design their own gallery exhibition. They can select from an array of topics (i.e. politics, religion, calligraphy, animals, or clothing, or a specific medium of work, such as rubbings, paintings, or maps). Using this site, students can download or print images for their exhibition and then post them in a room to create a gallery space. It's very creative and user-friendly...they kids would love it!
