Challenge 1 – Record your pupils

Use an app such as Voki or Sockpuppets (Voki works on all tablets and laptops) to record your pupils. Can they say: Hello, my name is, I am well, I live in + town/city, and I am Scottish (or other nationality). This could also be a fictitious portrait, using a Chinese name!

Challenge 2 – Record a friend

Show your recording to a friend or a member of your family. Teach them how to say hello, my name is… in Mandarin.
