Happy New Year: Gung Hay Fat Choy
Chinese New Year commences on February 18, 2007 and the 15 day celebration ends on March 4, 2007 with a lantern festival.
Chinese New Year Lesson Plan
1. Open discussion about Chinese New Year. Prompt students on the why, how, what, where, when, and who celebrates this holiday.
2. Discuss that the Chinese have 12 animals to represent the New Year. Each of the 12 animals is represented on a 12 year cycle. For the year 2007, it is represented by the pig. Ask students to guess what the 12 animals are. Give a clue to the students that the animals are native to their land. Pig(Boar), Ox, Snake, Goat, Monkey, Rat, Hare, Horse, Rooster, Tiger, Dragon and Dog are the 12 Chinese animals.
