Chinese New Year

Posted Saturday, February 10, 2007 9:28 AM by kent-teachers

Here's an activity for Chinese New Year, (7th February 2008). It is a Sunday! I believe the tradition is to give out Red Pockets to those who say 'Kung Hei Fat Choy' for the first 15 days of the lunar month. 

This is a new resource and should therefore be treated as a Beta version. Any feedback would be extremely welcome!www.kented.org.uk/ngfl/games/hongBow_v4.html

Happy New Year!

Just come back from China Town, I'm home educating and was looking for something connected to our day.  Very pleased with what I found, I shall be letting my fellow home educators know about your site.

Thank you very much

Brilliant site!! The children in my class really enjoyed using the computer to generate the envelopes and then make them up. Thank you. The other resources are good too.

Wonderful activities our reception children loved the Hong Bow.  Just a quick comment to say that some of the pictures on the other pages showed the animals in different orders the dragon and snake were swopped depending on the page.

Loved the pocket but the children liked to write their names on the front, so it didn't make sense to have 'from'.  'To' would work better.  I put a chocolate in each pocket and they took them home.  thank you.

The children are off curriculum this week and each class is studying a country.  Year 2 are doing China.  This was a quick and easy activity which they enjoyed.  Resources were also good.  It was light releif from the brushwordk they tried and a good contrast.  Thanks
