Chinese Character Disappearing Game
Once Upon a Time in the Forest…
Once upon a time, there was a witch who lived deep in a forest. She spent one hundred years brewing a mysterious potion 🧪.

You are a lost visitor who has wandered into her home. Very soon, you will decide, by playing this game, whether the witch turns into a princess or a frog.
On the next page, you’ll see how the card game works.
How the Game Works
You control the time. Your students try to remember the Chinese characters.
  • The witch deals 4–5 cards. Each card shows a Chinese character and (optionally) its pinyin.
  • You give students some time to memorize these cards.
  • Then all cards turn over and shuffle. One card is secretly removed.
  • The remaining cards flip back face up.
  • Students must say which card – and which character – has disappeared.
  • ✅ If they are correct, the witch turns into a princess and celebrates.
  • ❌ If they are wrong, the witch turns into a frog as a funny “punishment”.
  • The missing card appears on the right side. Click it to reveal the answer together.
You can edit the word list at the bottom of the page to reuse this game with new vocabulary.
