Bopomofo ㄅㄆㄇㄈ Mnemonic Worksheets for Children 注音符號助憶鍵
Learn Bopomofo ㄅㄆㄇㄈ/ Zhuyin Fuhao 注音符號 with these fun, simple and free mnemonics 注音符號助憶鍵 worksheets, created with love by me, for your little ones!
December 21, 2011. YAY! I finally completed this project in less than 1 year! Using awesome Waldorf Education methods for learning, I made mnemonics worksheets for people on this planet to learn Mandarin Chinese Phonics (“Bopomofo”/Zhuyin Fuhao). With one look, you will always remember the phonics symbols, no more rote writing of each symbol a gazillion times in your exercise books! This resource is free for you! Please click “like” on my facebook page (see top of sidebar) and check back again. I will add sound later when I learn how to.
Learn and memorize zhuyin fuhao by drawing pictures! I have lovingly prepared some mnemonic worksheets for you! Click on each worksheet to download a PDF version for printing. To view and print the entire collection of PDF worksheets on this page at once, click here. Please note, this is a 40 page PDF file of the worksheets below.
I hope these worksheets make you smile. The happier you are, the better you learn and retain the memory of the learning exercises.

What do I do with all these loose worksheets? Here is a an “Ancient Chinese Book Binding Craft for Children to Teach Your Child a Reverence and Love of Books” tutorial (Please Follow Me on my blog and check back after Christmas for this tutorial).
Thank you Chris Bennett of the Waldorf School of Orange County, California for the inspiration to create these picture learning materials!
December 20, 2011. Hooray! I have completed ALL the zhuyin fuhao mnemonic worksheet pages!!!
I have worked on these pages over the year to make learning Bopomofo/Zhuyin fuhao fun and easy for my first grader. No more rote memorizations. When we engage our children’s emotions (with something funny or something they can relate to), they will be more open to learn. I also hope that by one look at these pictures, the children will have a solid memory of each symbol. For instance, once a child knows that “ㄇ” mo has the picture for “妺妺” / little sister, they will not make a mistake identifying that symbol again because their drawing has to fit the symbol. Also, since drawing is so much fun, children may be enthusiastic to do their work.
Please leave me a comment below if you like these zhuyin fuhao worksheets, if you find typos, or if some of them can be improved. I realize some may be harder for small children to draw, but I do love to watch my child’d best efforts and emulation. Regarding the children’s drawings, perfection should not be the key but the joy of learning and effort to draw them are important.
May your children learn with gusto. Thanks! – Jzin

Amazing… Sigh.
These are cute. Thanks!
These are awesome! Can’t wait to see the rest. Where did you get them?
Thanks Patrick for the encouragement! We (me and my 6 year old) make them up as we go along. I thought this is a fun way for kids to learn drawing and zhuyin fuhao at the same time. Once children have a picture of the zhuyin symbols in their minds, these images will stay around for a long time. You may “Join me on this site” (icon on top left of this page) on my blog to check back on more worksheets!
Great! Thanks for sharing your hard work!
Wow! These are wonderful! I will definitely keep encouraging you if this is the result!
I thank you and my 3 year old daughter thanks you!
Sigh! I should have thought of that!
Hey, that’s powerful. Thanks for the work.
This is awesome! Thanks a lot!
It makes me so happy to know some children out there are enjoying my work! May you always have the joy of learning!
I am a nearly fifty-year-old gentleman from USA who has a Taiwan-born wfie. Your pages will definitely assist me in my continuing education of bopomofo.
Of course, she is my wife, not “wfie”.
Thank you very much! I am self-teaching myself Zhuyin Fuhao and your hard work has helped me tremendously!
Thank you Micah for taking the time to respond. I am so happy it is helpful to you! Your comment is encouraging to me and makes my day! Yippie! Jzin
Hello Jzin,
Love your all your bopomo worksheets which are so cleverly made! As well all the pictures on your blog.. they are just gorgeous!!

Happy Chinese New Year of the Snake! – Jzin
love it! i use basic zhuyin for showing my english students how zhuyin divides sounds differently than pinyin, i just need a few letters, but in using the zhuyin it’s soooo easy to learn, i’ve been in china for 8 years and finally zhuyin gives me an easier alphabet for learning chiense than stupid pinyin (which of course all my students learn first and then that gives them so many problems learning english and all foreign languages, so the zhuyin helps them see very clearly about what they think they understand they really have the sounds confused, anyways, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Yay! Thank you so much for your note. I am so happy this is useful to you! Happy Holidays! love, Jzin
Thank you very much for such a wonderful resource on BoPoMoFo. Love it! I will share it with parents and teachers. Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing your mnemonic worksheets.
These worksheets are great for learning the pinyin using the waldorf concept for learning.
P.S. Love your pictures of your beautiful handcrafted dolls..I hope that you will continue further work with Chinese characters!
I really love this bopomofo learning.It’s awesome and we can learn faster !!! Thank you so much!
This is so amazing!!!! I am so grateful that I found something like this, thank you for sharing. Looking through some of them, I did find some mistakes in the 注音 （ex: 企ㄑㄧˋ 鵝 not ㄑㄧˇ） and characters (ex. 汽車 not 氣車 ), but I can make changes when we really get to those. Just thought you would like to know! Thank you again for sharing you & your sons hard work!!!
Thank you Bobbie for taking the time to write me. I am happy to ready your message. Yes, how astute of you to point out the mistakes in my too quick to publish drafts. When I have time, I will go around and make corrections. You are free to send me more as you detect them. Thank you and the best to you and yours, may you grow to love learning Mandarin! – Jzin
Thank you, these worksheets are really cool!
Thank you. These worksheets are very helpful. Does your video have audio? It seems it has no sound. Is there a site with audio for bo po mo?
Thank you so much for making these, they’ve been a big help.
Thank you for making these available. My 11 year old son wants to learn another language. He choose Chinese. I learned BopoMoFo about 22 years ago. Still remember most of it. Pinyin is English letters not English sounds. It was difficult.
