Every week I teach a class to the older students where I do an activity and teach a subject. This week I chose Family. I started off the lesson teaching the vocabulary of the family (mom, dad, brother, sister, grandpa, etc) and then I brought out a picture of my family to show all the kids. The picture consisted of me, my parents, and my five siblings. The kids could NOT believe how big my family was! Eyes widened and jaws dropped as they realized that I had five siblings. In China, they have laws regulating how many kids are allowed in each family. Typically you can only have one or two (although you can have more by paying the government a huge amount or if you live on a farm and need help). I loved showing them my family and learning about their culture. Then I had all the kids draw a picture of their families; some of them were too cute that I couldn’t resist sharing (although I did draw an example on the board with a mom, dad, sister, brother, and “me”—so a lot of kids just copied that):
