Newly Updated in December 2015

As part of my music around the world theme this year, I have spent some time for a couple of months looking up some things about the Chinese New year. I found a really fun, catchy, and simple to learn Chinese Song.

I found tons of fun facts and fun crafts that relate to the Chinese New Year. I made a Chinese New Year Chinese writing activity for the kids to trace, as well as a writing activity for elementary aged kids for writing about the New Year. I won’t have time to do all of it this year, but I excited to do a few activities along with my curriculum.

The packet includes:

•  Suggestions of some books to read to younger and
   older students plus some more good websites with more information.
