Picture books are appropriate for any age-from birth on up. And they make great introductions to mini-lessons. Read a picture book to the whole class, go over a correlating concept as a class, then have the students work individually to reinforce the concept. It’s a great way to introduce new ideas or review old ones.
This week the Chinese are celebrating New Year and what better way to teach the students about Chinese culture and customs than with a picture book?!?
Take some time to read the book with the class and then try out some of these other activities:
- Chinese New Year lesson plan for 2nd-3rd grade
- A craft and a compare/contrast writing prompt from If I Only Had Super Powers
- An entire unit based on this picture book-complete with worksheets and activities!! (PDF)
- Learn to write “Good Wishes” in Chinese (PDF)
- Have a parade to show off your dragon puppets!!
- And if you’re really ambitious-make a dragon that the whole class has to carry!
