Use our Dragon head template to make Chinese dragons for Chinese New Year.
Animals of the Chinese Zodiac
This hands-on Chinese Zodiac worksheet invites students to explore the 12 zodiac animals through storytelling, creativity, and choice. After learning about the animals and the legend of the Great Race, students cut out the zodiac animals and use them to design their own version of the story.
Year of the Horse Craft: 马
This Year of the Horse craft hat is a fun, hands-on way for students to connect language, culture, and creativity during Chinese New Year. Students create and wear their own horse hat while learning about the Zodiac, the meaning of the Horse, and key Chinese New Year symbols.
