Excellent resource for Lunar New Year. My students enjoyed making the lanterns and everything was very low prep. I showed them some videos about the Lunar New Year and they were able to complete the writing prompts just fine…

Terms of Use
Please refer to my complete terms of use prior to purchasing.
I enjoy celebrating and honoring all holidays with my students. This is a great resource to share with the students and the students really enjoy coloring and decorating the lantern and was in collaboration with a read a loud book.
I love that we can use this over and over again! My students did this after learning about Lunar New Year and were so engaged! Many of them took it home to finish and brought it back so that I could post it on our bulletin board.
After learning about Lunar New Year, my students colored and cut the lanterns. They enjoyed the activity and seeing the lanterns around the classroom.
Very beautiful, thank you very much for the resource
Totally worth the price! I created a Google Slides presentation that included a video of the Chinese Lantern festival. I think the video added the touch for more of the excitement. I had my students decide which lantern to choose (that was a struggle for many). They enjoyed creating the lanterns you have in this resource. I added the step by step instructions as an independent activity in Google Classroom. Thank you!
