See the Dragon Come has long been a favorite song and I finally got around to making two different sets of simple 2-beat building bricks for young students- one cartoon version, one traditional Chinese papercut version.

Most of you know my family is Chinese American- my daughter was born in China and adopted into our family when she was 18 months. We celebrate Lunar New Year and love this special and festive time of year.
This year is the year of the dragon! My amazing friend, Melanie Kang, recently published her book, Lions, Lanterns, and Ribbons with Beatin' Path Publications. It is a delightful book and makes Chinese and Mandarin-language songs accessible, playful, and purposeful. I was honored to be her editor on the project. Click on the picture to check out the book - available in print or as a download-able e-book!

Here are a few pages from the google slides.
There is probably no other song more recognizable at Lunar New Year than Gong Xi, Gong Xi (Congratulations, congratulations!).
Many thanks to my friend, M. Kang, for sharing the English translation and the fan dance ideas for this song!
The full slide set is available here.
My sweet friend Melanie K. shared this with me and my students loved it. It is shared here with her permission.
