Chinese New Years Bonanza
Children have so much fun at the Chinese New Year parties when they play this delight Chinese NewYear's game. First, separate the guests into a few teams. Have an assortment of magazines (usually three to five per team), glue, scissors, and 11 x 14 pieces of construction paper for each team. Give each team a list of Chinese New Years celebration words such as calendar, dragons, fireworks, etc. Usually about 15 words will do. The object of the game is to find pictures that go with the words and glue them to the construction paper. The first team completed wins!
Another great Chinese New Year's game the children would enjoy is called Shot Put. For this game, have balloons filled up about 1/3rd with water. Then blow up the balloons about equal size. Each player must "shot put" (throw) as far as they possible can. The player who puts a shot the farthest is the winner! So don't forget to include the balloons, magazines, glue and construction as part of the Chinese New Year supplies.
