Lantern riddles are a traditional game played for 1000 years in China during the Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival (元宵节 / yuán xiāo Jié) (March 1, 2026, the last day of the CNY celebration).

You hang riddles on strings or walls, and kids take turns guessing the answers and win a prize.

Even if your baby can’t answer yet, asking simple questions builds their brain! “Do you see the cat? 你看见那只小猫了吗？” “Where’s your nose? 你的鼻子在哪里？” Then, answer the question for them using a complete, simple sentence "Your nose is right here! 你的鼻子在这里！“

Many songs in our JoJo Chinese Songs for Baby and Me, part of the JoJo Sing and Learn musical book series, include simple questions designed to spark conversations between parents and their child. Start raising bilingual children from music and conversations.

Point and name what you see—as you move through the day, use your target language if you’re raising a bilingual baby: ‘书/book,’ ‘袜子/sock,’ ‘门/door.’ Those simple, back-and-forth labels wire the brain’s language network and link sounds to meaning.

That’s why every song in the award-winning JoJo Sing & Learn series uses here-and-now everyday words—小鸟/birds, 天/sky, 苹果/apple, 泡泡/bubbles—designed to deliver the language stimulation little brains need.

Monday, October 6 marks the Mid-Autumn Festival — the second biggest holiday on the lunar calendar! 🌝 In China, families are celebrating with an 8-day break filled with travel, reunions, and festive meals.

For many, this special time is all about 吃月饼 (eating mooncakes) and 赏月 (appreciating the moon). 🌕✨

Looking for ways to celebrate? Check out our blog at www.jojolearning.com
for recommended movies, books, and crafts for the festival. 🎬📚🎨

Wherever you are this Monday, may your moon be bright and your heart full of warmth and connection. 💛

Total Physical Response (TPR) links movement with language — even for babies! 👶💬 When you pair words with gentle actions, like waving when you say “bye-bye,” your baby connects sounds with meaning. 💕👋

These little gestures are big for baby’s brain! 💡

That’s why every song in the award-winning JoJo Sing & Learn musical book series is written with the guidance of Total Physical Response (TPR) — designed to engage you and your baby, both physically and emotionally.

Did you know one of the best ways to boost your baby’s language skills and brain development is simply talking about what you’re doing?

🍌 “Let’s peel the banana and take a bite!”
Even better in a second language: 我们把香蕉皮剥开，然后咬一口！

These little moments are big for baby’s brain! 💡

That’s why every song in the award-winning JoJo Sing & Learn musical book series is written using the natural words parents already say — paired with loving, everyday activities like tickling toes, washing hands, or taking a bath. 🎶🛁👶
