The document describes three games that can be used to review Chinese vocabulary. The first game involves splitting students into teams and taking turns guessing Chinese characters written on cards taped to their forehead based on clues from teammates. The second game uses magnets on sticks to "fish" index cards with vocabulary words out of a circle for points. The third uses a modified Monopoly board where students must demonstrate knowledge of the Chinese word in the space their token lands on by saying its meaning, pinyin, or using it in a sentence.

2.  There are different ways to play it. I use this game to review
vocabulary before a quiz.
 What I did was splitting the class into two teams. I had two table in
the front with a stack of cards. Each card has a Chinese word on it
 Each team member will take turn to be the player. The player will
need to come to the front and take one card without looking at it. The
player will hold the card on their forehead. The sitting team members
have to use body language to show the meaning of the Chinese word
that the player is holding. They can also write the character in the air
as well, but they are not allowed to say anything. If the player guess it
right, he/she will put the card on the side, if the player got it wrong,
he/she can continue to guess until it is right or he/she can choose to
give it up. If the player gave up, he/she has to put the card back to the
unfinished card stack.
 Whichever team finish the stack of card will win.
* teacher can prepare a reference sheet with answer on it to help weak
students.

3.  Materials:
 sticks
 Magnets
 Index cards
 Paper clips
 Making the tools: tie the magnet, and then tie it to a stick. Write words need to
review on index cards. Pin a paper clip to each card
 How to paly: divide the class into small groups. Draw a circle and scatter the card
in the circle, all players will stand out of the circle. Player will take turn to fish
the card up. If he/she can say the meaning and pinyin, then he/she can keep the
card, otherwise he/she will have to put the card back to the circle. Whoever has
the most cards win.

4.  Materials: monopoly board, dice, playing pieces
 Teacher will write words need to review on the boxes, or teacher can number the
boxes and then write the words on another paper.
 Student players will take turn to roll the dice and then move the playing pieces
accordingly. The player will need to say the meaning or the pinyin or make a
sentence with the character/word in the box where the player landed.
 Teacher will make an reference sheet with answers. Player who do not know the
answer can look it up the reference sheet.
