Learning About The Lunar New Year

Curious kids will love discovering even more about this popular holiday. Like, why is it sometimes called Chinese New Year and sometimes called Lunar New Year? The holiday is based on the Chinese calendar or the Chinese Lunar Calendar – which is based on the phases of the moon. So, the names are often used interchangeably. This also means the holiday doesn’t always fall on the same dates every year.

But why limit the fun to just the kids? Bingo games are fun for the whole family. Create a family fun night and celebrate the Chinese New Year with this fun Chinese New Year bingo game. Decorate the house in the traditional auspicious colors of red and gold and don’t forget the snacks!
