🐵 跟著孫悟空學漢字! 如果孩子能跟著孫悟空一起大鬧天宮、降妖伏魔、踏上取經之路，學中文是不是也能變成一場精彩的冒險呢？ 這一期，我們將帶著孩子走進經典故事《西遊記》，跟著孫悟空、唐三藏、豬八戒和沙悟淨一起展開取經之旅。 每週從故事中認識兩個有趣的中文字，探索漢字從象形文字到楷書的演變，並結合故事、遊戲、歌曲、美勞與互動活動，讓孩子在歡笑與探索中，自然而然地學中文。 課程中，孩子還會親手製作皮影戲偶，學習光與影的原理、角色操作與聲音表達，最後將共同演出一場屬於自己的《西遊記》皮影戲，讓故事的角色「活」在舞台上。 這不只是一堂中文課，更是一場結合語文、藝術、文化與創意的冒險旅程。 我們希望孩子不是因為「要學中文」而走進教室，而是在故事、遊戲與笑聲中，自然而然地愛上中文，發現漢字的魅力，也在一次次的創作與演出中建立自信。 🐵 Learn Chinese with the Monkey King! What if learning Chinese felt like an adventure? Join the Monkey King and his friends on an exciting&nbsp;Journey to the West adventure! Each week, kids will dive into a classic story, learn two fun Chinese characters, and discover how Chinese writing has evolved from ancient picture symbols to the characters we use today. Through stories, games, songs, crafts, and interactive activities, children will learn Chinese in a fun and natural way. Students will also make their own shadow puppets, learn how shadow theater works, practice bringing characters to life, and finish the session with their very own&nbsp;Journey to the West shadow puppet performance! This is more than a Chinese class&mdash;it&#39;s a creative adventure that blends language, culture, art, and storytelling. Our goal is for children to enjoy learning Chinese, build confidence, and discover that Chinese can be fun! <span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">Class Dates 上課日期:<span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">&nbsp;<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: inherit;">August: 30</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">September: 13, 20 (Review by TA), 27</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">October: 4, 18, 25</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">November: 1 (Review by TA), 8, 15, 22</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">December: 6, 13 (Performance Day &ndash; Meet at 9:45 AM)</li></ul> <span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">Time 時間:&nbsp;11:00 AM-12:15 PM&nbsp; <span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">Age: 4-8 years old <span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">Check out our Facebook: <span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;"><a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.facebook.com/FUMCEBASAP/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/FUMCEBASAP/</a>
