Chinese New Year Scavenger Hunt

Wearing the colour red, eating candied crab apples and giving red envelopes with money (hongbao/lai see); these are some of the fascinating traditions in this 32 fun facts pack on Chinese New Year.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
32 Fact Cards on Chinese New Year.
4 Recording Sheets
4 page Answer Key
11 Poster Templates featuring New Year images; 1 blank poster included for students to self-illustrate.

ACTIVITY
Place the 32 fact cards on Chinese New Year around the classroom. Students can work individually, in pairs, or in small groups to find the answers to all 32 questions on their response sheets. They must read the fact card to find the answer for each corresponding fact question on their response sheets.
Early finishers who complete the Scavenger Hunt can design their writing posters. Wrap-up the activity by getting students together and asking them to share the facts they found the most interesting. They may refer to their recording sheets and posters.
** You may break-up the activity and do cards (1-17) or (18-32) depending upon time available.
