Chinese New Year: Year of the Snake

Today was all about Chinese New Year! We read two books about Chinese New Year traditions and two books about snakes (this year's animal).  Here they are:

This Next New Year by Janet Wong
Red is a Dragon: A Book of Colors by Roseanne Thong
Class Two at the Zoo by Julia Jarman
My Snake Blake by Randy Siegel

I made a flannel board last year and titled it "Chinese New Year Animal Word Match". I know that I got it from somewhere else, but currently I cannot find my source information. We ended storytime with a snake paper chain craft. More great craft and game ideas can be found here: http://www.dltk-holidays.com/china/index.htm.
