![]() My EA had pre-cut eye holes in each box so the kids didn’t have to worry about that. I happen to find 4 boxes all the same size that were perfect to fit over a 4/5 year old’s head. The key for success is finding the perfect size box. On this first day all they did was paint a base colour for their box. Each group was going to make their own lion head. After reading we made a list of all the Chinese customs in the book.Īfter reading the book we watched a few youtube clips of lion dancing. This was a great book to introduce the Lion Dance. Our biggest creation was going to be our own Chinese Lion costumes and we were going to make our own dance and musical instruments. This may seem like a strange book to start the unit with but I had a method to my madness. ![]() ![]() I had a number of picture books we used throughout the unit.īook – Lion Dancer by Kate Waters. We did this unit from the time we got back to school after the Christmas break and culminated at our Chinese New Year party on January 23rd, it was a total of 4 classes. ![]() I was so excited to do it and had been looking forward to it since we had our own Chinese New Year celebration at home last year. This was my first Kindergarten unit I pretty much developed on my own. ![]()
