Character Race

Arrange characters into a wheel — one partner calls out a word, the other finds it, then marks an X on the grid sheet.

1Add your characters Total 0

Separate with a space to make each word its own tile: 你好 谢谢 一心一意. Paste without spaces and it splits into single characters instead: 你我他是不有. Duplicates are removed automatically.

For your own English labels, enter one item per line as 中文 | 拼音 | English.

No characters yet — paste some Chinese text above, or click "Load a sample".

A single ring is easiest to read; 12–20 characters works best. Over 30 automatically splits into three rings, but text gets smaller — for younger grades, print two sheets instead.

Target language Rings Text size Grid squares

Chinese stays on each tile. Pinyin is shown as the target language.

Each printed A4 sheet has the wheel on top and a grid sheet below — one sheet per pair. The big-screen mode works well for a whole-class warm-up or game.
