Chinese Going To School Song 上学歌 / 上學歌 lyrics activity
A few years ago, I made a simple craft stick puzzle for my daughter to learn 上学歌 / 上學歌 Going to School song lyrics in Chinese. Of course, this activity is completely optional, but it was really fun for my daughter.
Since I’m learning Chinese as a parent, I had to check the dictionary to write all of the Chinese characters. As someone who enjoys crafting, creating hands-on activities for my daughter has helped me memorize Chinese characters!
I drew pictures with a Sharpie, and it took less than 30 minutes total to prepare.
On each craft stick, I wrote Chinese character corresponding to the Chinese song lyrics.
To complete the puzzle, you can use either the song lyrics or drawing as the guide.
Younger children may need a “control” to help them complete the puzzle. You can easily create this buy taking a photo of the completed puzzle and printing it out!

If you have a printer, I recommend looking at a paper copy of the 上学歌 / 上學歌 lyrics rather than the computer screen. The lyrics are large so children learning to read can see each Chinese character clearly.
