🍜 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Food is the most accessible entry point into any culture. After introducing these cards, plan a simple cooking activity making dumplings or fried rice together. Children who fold their own dumplings remember the vocabulary because they experienced the food with their hands. Even better, visit a Chinese restaurant or grocery store so children can connect the cards to real food. "Remember the xiao long bao card? Those soup dumplings we're eating are xiao long bao" creates lasting cultural understanding.
