Free Chinese Flashcards for Kids
Flashcards are a classic way to build vocabulary, and digital ones have a lovely advantage: they can talk. Tapping a card to hear the Mandarin gives children the correct tones every time.
Cards that speak
Each of our word cards pairs a friendly illustration with the Chinese characters, pinyin and English — and a tap plays the word aloud in Mandarin. It's the part paper flashcards can't do, and it's exactly what helps the sound stick.
Because they're grouped into themes like animals, food and transport, you can pull up a small, focused set and review it in a couple of minutes.
Ways to play
Try a quick 'find the…' game, take turns naming cards, or let your child be the teacher and quiz you. Short, playful rounds keep the energy high and the pressure low.
When you want a guided sequence, open the matching word book and read straight through, tapping to hear each word as you go.
