Chinese Lunar New Year Activities for Kids

The Chinese Lunar New Year provides us with an excellent opportunity to enjoy our favorite family outing… a trip to the local Chinese restaurant, but for a homeschooling family, we can make this about more than just Chinese food. The Chinese New Year gives us a chance to delve into a different country and study China with its unique culture.

If you are building a Chinese Lunar New Year Unit Study, I hope this collection of activities will give you plenty of ideas.
