Happy Chinese New Year (begins February 19 in 2015)! Celebrate the New Year with this colorful, engaging and educational game, and at the same time, help students explore the fascinating Chinese Zodiac, one- and two-syllable animal words, text-to-rhythm relationships, beats, 4/4 meter, and simple rhythms (ta, ti-ti and rest). This may be used as a class activity or center. Please note that while this program appears to select words and rhythms randomly, these are actually sequenced carefully.
