Lunar New Year Drama Circle

Learn about Lunar New Year including the different traditions for Chinese New Year, Korean New Year Seollal and Vietnamese New Year Tết Nguyên Đán. It only takes moments to prepare the activity which takes students about half an hour to an hour to complete.

This resource is included in our Lunar New Year Bundle which gets you five resources at a 30% discount!

Drama circles are similar to readers' theatre activities where students read small sections of text. They encourage listening and reading fluency. Best of all, they require only moments to prepare, but students are engaged and learning for an hour or more.

This engaging activity includes:

• directions on how to run a drama circle.
• a teacher quick guide.
• a set of 40 cards (in colour and ink-saving versions).
• a set of discussion questions to do after the drama activity.
• a variety of reading difficulties and amounts of text on the cards so you can differentiate easily for your students.
• a few blank cards if you need to change the language on a card.

Please see the preview for a general idea of the reading difficulty for each card.

This activity supports:

• any lesson about Lunar New Year or traditions of a variety of cultures.
