Traditional Chinese Games

Traditional Chinese Games

Enjoy some of these traditional Chinese games with your family, perhaps when you are learning about China or celebrating Chinese New Year.

Blind Man

A fun chase game which is perfect for the playground or a large room.

Catching Seven Pieces
Originally played with small inch-square rice bags, this traditional Chinese game is similar to Jacks and Knucklebones and can be played with either, or even a collection of pebbles, if you don't want to make your own "pieces".

Catch The Dragon's Tail
This traditional Chinese game is great fun for the playground. You will need a large group of children - at least 10, but the more the merrier!

Fishing (Tiu-u or Chinese Dominoes) NEW!
This game of Chinese dominoes sounds a little complicated to begin with but is in fact very simple to play. The name ‘fishing’ comes from the idea that players ‘fish’ for matching dominoes. You can either print out our dominoes or make your own more authentic version with popsicle sticks (instructions included!)

A rough outdoor game for boys.

Four Seasons
The Four Seasons game is a traditional Chinese game used to teach the names and order of the four seasons in a classroom or group setting.

A complicated outdoor game requiring ingenuity and skill, traditionally played by boys.
