The Year of the Dragon Activities
The Chinese calendar follows the moon and divides the years into groups of twelve. Each year is named for an animal. People born in that year are believed to share different traits.
The Dragon
(1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024, 2036)
Full of vitality and enthusiasm, the Dragon is a popular individual even with the reputation of being foolhardy and a "big mouth" at times. You are intelligent, gifted and a perfectionist but these qualities make you unduly demanding on others. You would be well-suited to be an artist, priest, or politician.

Ideas from Viewers:
Here is an idea for Chinese New Year from Jo. Take a brown paper bag(large). Cut holes for eyes then decorate it with either markers, crayons or construction paper. Add streamers to the bottom and have a parade with your Chinese dragon.
