One thing I wanted to do while in China was to get a few Chinese games and bring them back to the U.S. for the kids to play. Below are some videos of the kids kicking a "jianzi" (踢毽子), a common game in China, for our first P.E. class this past week. We need to practice more, but it's a good start. :)

Our first Chinese Gym class－ 踢毽子
This past summer, I attended a teacher training program in Beijing for 6 weeks. It was awesome, and I am so excited to show the kids all the videos I took of "real" Chinese life!
