Lately, Little P has been making up his own nonsense chinese lyrics to go with tunes that he knows. In this post, I would like to share with you – 月儿圆圆 – a simple Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival Song for those of you whose toddlers love singing!
When it comes to helping my little one be comfortable and confident in speaking his mother tongue, the three main things I find helpful for me are:
- Modeling speaking the Chinese language by itself (i.e. no mixing with English/Singlish) 95% of the time
- Singing songs to him in Chinese
- Reading lots of Chinese books with him.
Therefore, besides a song relevant to the occasion, in the later part of the post I will also detail some of the books we are reading this Mid-Autumn Festival week!
Let’s get started!
