Chinese New Year Unit Bundle: Crafts, PPT, Reading, Vocabulary, Posters

Chinese New Year 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. Learn about Chinese celebrations for this holiday and the unique culture of China with a Powerpoint with audio of Mandarin Chinese, Reading Comprehension activities about the Legend of Nian, Legend of the Zodiac Animals, coloring pages, word search, posters, matching game, and so so much more. Look through the links to each product included in this bundle to see it all!

As a teacher who lived in Taiwan and speaks fluent Chinese, this is my favorite thing to teach students! I hope the authenticity of materials, Chinese characters, background understanding and love for culture comes through in these activities.

Included in this Bundle:

Chinese New Year Informational PPT with Audio for Chinese Words

• This presentation has 25 slides going over all aspects of Chinese New Year traditions and customs. Each slide has a Chinese word with an audio clip that automatically pronounces the words. Students love this! (The audio is editable, so feel free to delete if you would prefer not to include it).
• I've also included the zodiac animals - years and personality traits because students love to see which animal they are and if the personality traits match! They can also learn to say their zodiac animal name in Chinese.
