Chinese New Year 2019 Recess Activity
Posted on May 14, 2019
We welcomed in the Year of the Boar with lots of activities during recess and over 80 parent volunteers to help execute all the plans!
We had different types of crafts and games, the highlight of which was the plastic-plate hand drum! Created with 2 plastic plates and bells on strings, the boys could decorate their drums with cutouts from angbaos! Most boys left with a drum of their own, with huge smiles!
Calligraphy is a favourite at every Chinese New Year celebration, and so it was this year too! The boys wrote different couplets on auspicious red paper to decorate their homes!
The last craft was tangerine rolling, which was a hit especially with the lower-primary boys and we ran out of materials before recess ended!
The Chinese department Teachers crafted a quiz conducted on iPads with small tokens to be won, the queue to answer Chinese questions was longer than we have ever seen!
A huge thank you to the school for letting us run such fun activities for our boys and the amazing PVs for tirelessly helping through tour the hour-long recess to ensure our boys have the most amount of fun!
