Lunar New Year SONGS AND RHYMES
|
There's a great big dragon coming our way,
A great big dragon on this holiday, (march in a weaving line) Let's grab our lanterns and follow along, Dancing & waving and singing a song. (dancing and waving) There's a great big dragon coming our way , Hip, hip, hurray! Let's wave and say "Ni hao (nee how)," Let's wave and say "Ni hao." Let's say "hello" to all our friends, Let's wave and say "ni hao." (Chant) Have you ever seen a lion dancing down the street? Well, I have. Have you ever seen a lion with 22 feet? Well, I have. A big FEROCIOUS lion with fire in his eyes!! With a tangled, bushy mane, an ENORMOUS size..... He’s a just-pretend lion, a New Year surprise - And he’s HERE!!! (c) 2005 Susan Portman The Lunar New Year starts today A beginning fresh and new. Let's pass this lucky penny round, And share the things we'll do. (Children sit in a circle, pass the penny around, and talk about some new things they will try this year). (Whole body action) Firecracker, firecrackers, Boom-boom, boom-boom, Red lanterns, red lanterns, Swing-swing, swing-swing, Dragon dance, dragon dance, Stomp-stomp, stomp-stomp, New Year, New Year - Open the door and COME IN! Gong hay fat choy - The Lunar New Year is here, I'll shake your hand and wish you well, Have happiness all of the year. |
