I celebrated Chinese New Year with Keefe's Preschool 2 class this year. His teacher has been "preparing" the class leading up to the New Year! Here's the class holding up their coloured-in Chinese zodiac signs (either rat or ox) and their personalised Chinese names (which I asked a friend of mine in the school to translate).
During the week, the kids coloured their dragon masks and made their lanterns. I made little books for them to colour and familise them with Chinese New Year vocabulary words. I shared these slides and sang a classic Chinese New Year children's song with them. I gave each child a red envelope with a pair of golden chocolate coins inside to represent lucky money. I also gave each of them a personalised zodiac animal card with that animal's character traits. The kids performed the dragon dance and had Chinese New Year treats (fortune cookies, pineapple tarts, mandarin oranges and wintermelon tea).
