Chinese New Year starts February 19th this year, and runs for 15 days. If you’d like to do a little something to celebrate, I designed a number packet that can easily fit into your busy day.
I made Chinese and English number cards, so children can play a variety of games, like Memory Match and “I Have; Who Has?” Use them as an independent center for early finishers, or as a fun whole-group game at the end of the day.
The packet also includes an anchor chart poster, as well as helpful links, so students can see, hear, and learn how to write the numbers. It’s quick, easy and fun; my kiddos were fascinated. I think they just assumed everyone wrote numbers like they did.
One of the sites tells you how to ask a person their phone number in Chinese. Since my Y5s are working on learning their phone number, I thought that would be a really fun activity for them, so I made a recording sheet. There’s also one for students to write their age on.
