Celebrate the Chinese New Year! 2009 is the year of the Ox. This activity is for beginners or lower-level learners. Print the pictures and words in this Word doc: Chinese Zodiac Animals
Cut. Allow students in groups to match the word with the picture.
Next play the song “Animals of the Chinese Zodiac.” Young learners might enjoy acting it out–making the sounds the animals make or moving like them. You’ll find the lyrics printed in the document above.
Also, since dogs are in the Chinese Zodiac, go check out the listening/creative writing activity about dogs here.
