Chinese New Year Lanterns
Chinese New Year Activity Sheets
A creative way to decorate your classroom for Chinese New Year on January 28th, 2017. Roosters hanging from the ceiling or sitting on the shelf, your kiddos will love creating and putting on their own personal touches on these cuties.
These units are designed in a Mix & Match format. You are able to pick the pieces that you want, depending on the needs and the abilities of your students. There are so many different possibilities and creative details that you can add.
These lantern crafts are great for developing fine motor skills, following the directions and listening skills. I currently teach Kindergarten and my little ones love creating lanterns. I just teach each step in isolation and then put it all together. This is a great activity for buddy classes to work on…again teach the steps in isolation and then put it together. With my buddy class, these lanterns will take a few sessions to complete.
In addition, 6 activity worksheets included to enhance learning about Chinese New Year.
Included:
• 6 Different lantern templates
• 8 Different Trim styles and sayings
• Chinese coin templates
• Curling Ribbons
** If there are additional trim sayings, phrases or lantern designs, please do not hesitate to email your requests. I would be delighted to add them to this template or create a new template package just for you.

Chinese New Year Assembly Script
This assembly script for Year 3 children introduces the story of Chinese New Year through a fun, engaging reenactment of the Great Race that determined the order of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Each child plays a role, from narrators and zodiac animals to fireworks and lion dancers, bringing the tale to life with humor and energy. The Emperor challenges the animals to cross a river, with each displaying their unique qualities—like the cleverness of the Rat and the strength of the Ox. The script includes stage directions and opportunities for movement, such as miming the river crossing and performing a lion dance. The assembly ends with a reflection on the importance of family, celebration, and valuing each other’s strengths, followed by a Chinese New Year-themed song to bring the performance to a joyful close.
