Volunteers showing the cards with Chinese words to the children

"Chinese Fun for Everyone" is a four-event program for ethnic minority children in Hong Kong. The program was structured with three sessions of two-hour workshops and a one-day city outing. In the workshops, HKUST volunteers taught short, self-contained lessons and played games involving Chinese language. In the city outing, children consolidated what they had learnt in the workshops.

This project aimed at arousing ethnic minority children’s interest of learning Chinese language through integrating reading, writing and speaking into interactive games. Through the activities, with Chinese as the medium of instruction, the children are expected to have better listening and presentation skills in the language. They are also expected to learn Chinese sentence structures, vocabularies and radicals, and be more capable of recognizing Chinese words through fun games.
