Free Year of the Dragon Drawing Prompt Card 2024
Another year and another zodiac animal! This year, is the Year of the Dragon and we have another fun and free activity for Chinese New Year! Today, have a look at this free Printable Greeting Card for the Year of the Dragon. Kids are encouraged to draw their very own DRAGON. Then have a look at the Chinese writing and pronounciation of “Happy New Year” and “xin nian kuai le” (pronounced shin nee-an kwai le)! A great little learning activity and a fun way to connect with friends and family.
The Year of the Dragon and the beginning of Lunar New Year is on the 10th February 2024!
As these Greeting Cards are “blank” – each one will be unique! Draw your Year of the Dragon design as detailed or as simple as you want!
Children can also take a look at the Characters that say Happy New Year in Chinese, as well as have a go at the pronunciation:
“xin nian kuai le” pronounced shin nee-an kwai le
