• Shopping in the City: Explore the exciting world of city markets and shops! Campers will learn phrases like “多少钱？(Duōshǎo qián? – How much?)” and “谢谢 (xièxie – thank you).” They’ll set up a mock store, use play money to buy items, and practice polite phrases like “请给我… (Qǐng gěi wǒ… – Please give me…).”
• City Tour Finale: Wrap up the week with a virtual city tour of Beijing or Shanghai, naming famous landmarks like “长城 (Chángchéng – Great Wall).” Campers will work on a group project to design their ideal city, label it in Mandarin, and play city-themed games like City Bingo.
