  1. Part two of our unit Around the World: Chinese

  2. Standards addressed in the Unit • SC K-5.1: Use symbols (drawings, letters and words) to create written communications (for example notes, messages, and lists) to inform a specific audience. • SC K-6.2: Recognize that information can be found in print sources (for example, books, pictures, simple graphs, and charts) and nonprint sources (for example: videos, television, films, radio and the Internet). • SC K-5.3: Construct a simple map.

  3. 你好 This is hello in Chinese.

  4. Hello (你好) • Among strangers, acquaintances or at formal occasions the greeting (in Mandarin) ‘Ni Hao’ (or ‘Nin Hao' if much respect is meant) meaning, literally ‘you good?' is used.

  5. Practice saying Ni Hao

  6. Interesting Chinese Facts • Ice cream was invented in China around  2000BC when the Chinese packed a soft milk and rice mixture in the snow.

  7. Interesting Chinese Facts • Red is considered a lucky color in China. • Red is also the color of the flag.

  8. Handshake • It is also part of their culture to use the traditional Chinese handshake. • The traditional Chinese ‘handshake’ consists of interlocking the fingers of the hands and waving them up and down several times.

  9. Greeting Others • When greeting, a slight bow often accompanies the handshake, with the bow being deeper the more respect is being proffered to the person, for example an elderly person or someone of high social status.
