Chinese New Year ... Almost...

We missed doing anything on CNY as we had other things planned, so took the opportunity at our weekly group to do some activities instead.

I had pre printed everyone's names in Chinese so we could look at how differently the letters are formed - they had fun trying to work out whose name was whose.

We also made some samurai warrior hats - making them as scary as possible to frighten our opponents..!

We also played a very fun game using chopsticks... Everyone had a plate of mint imperials, raisins and marshmallows - the rule was; if you could pick it up with the chopsticks, you could eat it.  I was amazed at how well they all did with this... Embarrassingly much better than I was..!

No Chinese New Year is complete without a dragon... we played 'catch the tail'; everyone lined up and held onto the person ion front... then the 'head' had to try and catch the tail... Yup, you guessed it ... ended up with everyone in a heap on the floor...
