Since Chinese is a picture-nased language, showing children how particular words look like what they mean, may be a fun way to teach. \n\nI bought a book titled 'Fun With Chinese Characters' from a bookshop here in Australia and it certainly took a fun approach to the Chinese written language.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932457003/sr=8-1/qid=1151222903/ref=sr_1_1/102-0294955-0287366?ie=UTF8\nThe cover of the book itself shows you for example, how the Chinese word for 'hand' was created based on the image of the hand.\nI recommend this book, and there are others which take the same approach on Amazon.com.\n\nYou can find many examples of these words versus pictures in this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_character\nOf course, not every Chinese character is a pictograph - but hopefully by getting students familiar with writing the little radicals that make up the words, it won't seem so hard.\n\nHopefully you'll find some good books to help you and that your students and you yourself have fun!

Did you mean TANGRAMS? I found some on that subject\n\nThe invention of the tangram puzzle is unrecorded in history. The earliest known Chinese book is dated 1813 but the puzzle was very old by then. One reason for this could be that in China, its country of origin, at the time it was considered a game for women and children. This would have made it unworthy of "serious" study and unlikely to be written about. Different times, different ways of thinking. Glad that's changing. \n\nThe roots of the word Tangram are also shrouded in time, with a number of possible explanations. The one I like best involves the Tanka people. These river people of China were great traders who were involved in the opium trade. The western sailors they traded opium with likely played with the puzzle when they visited their Tanka girlfriends. The story I believe is that it comes from the obsolete English word "tramgram" meaning puzzle or trinket. You can learn a bit more at the Online Etymology Dictionary A fun place, by the way, if you like words.\n\nTangrams enjoyed a surge of interest during the 19th century in Europe and America. This, no doubt, was due to the opening up of trade with China and the aforementioned sailors bringing home new found amusements. "The Chinese Puzzle" spawned a flood of books and picture card sets. Some quite elaborate Chinese examples exist with pieces carved from and/or inlaid with ivory, jade and other fine materials. Others were cheap, locally made copies in wood or fired clay. Some books blindly reproduced previous mistakes in the patterns. Some things never change.\n\nIn 1903, Sam Loyd wrote his great spoof of tangram history,The Eighth Book Of Tan.He had many people convinced that the game was invented 4000 years ago by the god Tan. According to Loyd, the first 7 Books Of Tan were linked with many famous people and historical events. All very convincing and it made Sam a lot of money. Later examination showed it to be a colossal joke. The book did catalog over 600 patterns, many by Loyd himself. He also introduced (along with H. F. Dudeney) the idea of paradoxes\n\nFu Tsiang Wang and Chuan-chin Hsiung mathematically proved in 1942 the existance of a finite set of patterns referred to as "convex." In this context, it means that there are no indentations along the outside edge. There are only 13 silhouettes that qualify. Other finite sets may exist.\n\nTangrams continue to entertain and frustrate now days. The puzzle attracts people on a number of levels. It's simplicity makes it accessible to a broad spectrum of people. The figures spark visually inclined people though their form, liveliness and striking simplicity. Many of the designs are adaptable to quilting, applique and many other artistic or craft projects. Storytellers can weave a tale with many characters and objects using only the seven tans.\n\nIt interests the math inclined with the geometry and ratios of the pieces. You find them used in classrooms around the world to teach basic math ideas in an interesting way. The Dr. Schaffer & Mr. Stern Dance Ensemble (MathDance) has taken it a step further with a dance using over-sized tangram pieces! They've even been used as the model for a designer table by Massimo Morozzi and an interactive art instalation by Daniele Lago \n\nIt is one of the classic puzzles, appealing to young and old, the serious and the carefree. \n\nThe Rules\nSimple really, which is one of its attractions. The classic rules are as follows: You must use all seven tans, they must lay flat, they must touch and none may overlap. Feel free to break away from the "rules", though. See the donation page for some wonderful "unruly" figures. Attempt the patterns you find here, race with other people to complete a figure or play with the pieces to come up with your own creations.

There are a few good sites for that sort of thing ... IF your computer can display Chinese characters! But as they're uncopy-able I can't paste them here.\n\nhttp://chineselanguage.org/cgi-bin/query.php?mode=english&sound=0&beijing=pinyin&canton=jyutping&meixian=pinjim&fields=mandarin,english&lang=en&level=6\n\nSame goes for http://zhongwen.com/zi.htm\n(select OK88 after searching for the English word.)\n\nThey're both online dictionaries, and you can search using English words and see the Chinese character.
