Congrats if you have made it past the first couple weeks of distance learning. Those PE videos have got to go though, am I right? When possible we go outside for PE, but these raging fires in California have made the air outside unsafe. Here’s a list of Chinese exercise videos to replace those awful PE videos.
These videos are intended for adults but are great for kids that have outgrown preschool music. The choreography isn’t too fast and there are no mature or inappropriate dance moves. I have a hard time keeping up with the moves but these videos have us laughing so hard and are loads of fun, even if dancing offbeat.

小苹果
There are many versions of this popular song by the Chopstick Brothers but this video is hilariously entertaining. The beat and lyrics are catchy and upbeat enough to get your heart rate up.
洗洗洗洗手
For those of you in the US, the Covid-19 pandemic isn’t going to end soon. Even though we’re all pretty tired of hearing about the virus, flu season is approaching and we all need a reminder to stay diligent to wash our hands and wear a mask. Chinese corona song with lyrics
跳吧！Zumba
In this workout video, the instructor gives loud and clear directions in Mandarin. It’s a great way to practice listening skills and learn new vocabulary while breaking a sweat.
麥克斯廣場舞
At parks in Taiwan, it’s common to see groups of women dancing to pop music. My son didn’t want to stop and danced to these videos for an hour. The instructor 麥克斯 (mài kè sī) says some silly stuff that has the kids cracking up. He talks the entire time and my kids are learning Chinese while burning off some energy.
Here is a link to the Youtube playlist for 麥克斯廣場舞 if your kids like these videos as much as mine.
