American Mahjong Teacher’s Kit

You know how to play. This shows you how to teach it. A four-week beginner course you can print and run again and again, for friends, clubs, libraries or paid classes.

What’s inside

• Four lesson spreads, one per week: a plan page with goals, a before-class checklist and a timed run sheet with room for notes, and a teaching-notes page with prompts, common mistakes and an after-class reflection.
• Six student handouts to print for every class: tiles, reading the card, the Charleston, calling and Jokers, scoring, and table manners.
• Three in-class drills with an answer key and a table of common wrong answers.
• Rules students will ask you about, with the official answers in one place.
• Class-building tools: pricing worksheet, venue pitch, flyer and email wording, roster, progress tracker and a certificate of completion.
• The Practice Workbook, classroom edition, which you may print for every student.

Who it’s for

People who already play American Mahjong and want a ready-to-run way to teach beginners. It is a teaching system, not a way to learn the game yourself; for that, start with the free course.

What is free, and what the kit adds

The four-week plan and the printables are free on this site, and always will be. The kit is the same course laid out to teach from: printed lesson spreads, handouts made for students, drills, class admin and the workbook, so you can run a class without assembling anything yourself.
