Let’s start with a video. Access the following episode of It’s My Party! about the Chinese New Year.
Discussion
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a time when people honour the hard year of work that is behind them and celebrate the new year with family. Children receive little red envelopes containing money. In the video, Emily says the red pockets are special because the adults fill them with candy or money before they are given to every child at the party.
