For Chinese Level I student, we first reviewed the old words and the greetings and then we introduced the new words. Next, instead of using small whiteboards, we used a sheet of paper and folded it into 8 boxes. On each box student were asked to write the "pinyin", English, and to draw a picture to what they heard.  After we finished the 12 boxes with 11 words/phrases/sentences, we played the "calling out" game that in a group of six, each student was assigned a word and each group has the same 6 words.  When the teacher called out a word such as "走 zǒu" and then the student who was assigned "走 zǒu" had to stand up and yelled aloud its English "walk".
We also learned three supplemental words:
bǐ
筆
qiān bǐ
鉛　筆
mǎ kè bǐ
馬 克 筆
