Chinese New Year 2027 Mandarin: a ready-to-teach 30–40 minute lesson for KS1 and KS2 (about ages 5–11), Year of the Goat. Eighteen festive words with pinyin. No Chinese knowledge is needed to run the lesson.
Inside this A4 PDF (14 pages):
• Lesson plan with suggested timings
• A teacher script (starter, main, plenary)
• Differentiation for support, core and stretch
• Word list and colour word cards
• Match-the-pictures worksheet, with answers
• Optional colouring and a decoration page (not needed in 40 minutes)
• Licence and credits
The printable pages are the same already-checked pages as our Lunar New Year 2027 Year of the Goat activity pack. This listing adds the plan, script and timings so you can teach a complete lesson. That pack is sold separately and is not required.
Chinese New Year’s Day is Saturday 6 February 2027. The year’s animal word can also mean sheep.
Print at A4 actual size / 100%. Word cards look best in colour; the worksheet and teacher pages print clearly in black and white. Instant PDF download.
Time to teach: 30–40 minutes. Extra materials: none for the core lesson; colouring pencils and scissors only if you use the optional pages.
Answers are included for the match worksheet.
Printable pages: Chinese characters, pinyin and English reviewed by the shop owner. Pictures checked by our QA process. No language-review claim is made for these English teacher pages.
AI disclosure: teacher notes were prepared with AI assistance. No new pictures were generated; printable pictures match those already disclosed on our Year of the Goat activity pack.
