Start With A Myth
Read one short story hook and ask what the myth explains about the world, courage, balance, or persistence.
Classroom And Homeschool Use
Give Lunar New Year a story-rich printable activity.
This page is for teachers, homeschool families, and librarians looking for a Lunar New Year activity that goes beyond decorations. The free sampler introduces ancient Chinese myth figures through short story hooks, discussion prompts, and a compact reading-response activity.
Connect To Symbols
Pair a story with a symbol such as the sun, sky, mountains, birds, herbs, rivers, or renewal.
Discuss A Choice
Use Hou Yi, Jingwei, or Shennong to ask what the character chooses and what that choice teaches.
Make A Mini Display
Students choose one myth figure, one image, and one sentence about why the story still matters.
Write A New Myth
Students plan a hero, a problem in nature, a helper, a challenge, and a lesson.
