Your children will be delighted as they watch a traditional New Year's celebration in Chinatown in Philadelphia. The booming drums, the popping firecrackers, and the explosion of color will fill your home with the feel of an authentic festival. Then travel back in time to 1975 and experience an older version of Chinese New Year in Beijing, China. A zodiac quiz and a traditional Chinese folk tale round out this video and show how the traditions of this holiday have remained constant, in spite of the passage of time. For the grand finale, your children are creative participants in a Chinese dragon-making project. 25 minutes. Grades K-4.
