GALENA, Kan. — Galena schoolchildren this summer are getting a taste of Chinese culture — and some Chinese food.
The Chinese Culture Camp is being offered to children in kindergarten through seventh grade. A federal grant is funding the project, said teacher Tamara Ballantyne, director of the project.
Qiaoshuang Xu is teaching Chinese language with games to one group of children. At the beginning of the summer session, each child introduced himself or herself to fellow classmates in Chinese.
Each child wore a T-shirt reading “education rocks in any language” in both Chinese and English.
The children in Xu’s class identified the flags of countries using the Chinese names of the countries. They also played a game with Chinese numbers.
“It’s really fun,” said Josh Buzzard, 9. “You get to learn a new language. You get to speak Chinese.”
He said he enjoyed working with puppets one day.
“You get to learn a new language,” said Daniella Clay, 8. “You get to play games, and learn countries and numbers.”
Both said they would like to visit China someday.
“You’re very, very intelligent kids, right?” Xu said at the end of one project.
