Character Practice: Character writing is so fun for kids, especially when the characters look like the thing they are describing. I’d start with easy characters, like numbers, or basic ones like 口/kǒu/mouth, 人/rén/person, 日/rì/day, 大/dà/big. Once they have practiced a whole line, you can circle the prettiest one–giving them encouragement and feedback at the same time.
