Kindergarten Art Sub Plans
Chinese New Year is on Friday, February 12 this year. What a fun opportunity to teach primary students about another culture.
Chinese New Year Video
Here's a great children's video that does a nice job of teaching about Chinese New Year. This would be a nice introduction to the lesson.

Dragon Dance is a lesson that you can create for Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year. There are children's books and YouTube videos about Chinese New Year Dragons that you can use to introduce the lesson and then have students draw their impressions of Chinese dragon costumes and Lunar New Year parades.
Art Sub Lesson that is No-Prep and Fully Scripted
If you don't have the time to create your own lesson, I have one over at my TPT shop. The one I created was written for an art sub but it can be taught by anyone. I've added lots of visuals and background that provide motivation for the students. Click here to check out my lesson: Dragon Dance - Kindergarten Art Sub Plan for Lunar New Year
I have heard from classroom teachers as well as art teachers who have taught this. They all seemed to have success and the kids loved it.
Reviews of My Lesson on TPT
Here are some reviews of this lesson: "I think this is a colorful and detailed resource that I can use or have for a sub to use. I have a book of poems called The Dragons are Singing Tonight by Jack Prelutsky that will be an additional resource to integrate with this lesson.""So much fun!!! Such a great resource! Loved the different dragon pictures!
Huge hit with my Kindergarten class.""This was lots of fun! I used it as a last minute activity and it was well received!"
