You may want to plan ahead and think of activities to celebrate the Chinese New Year which will be in February. A great activity is to take a lesson to teach the class the numbers. I do not speak Mandarin but I learnt enough to teach this using the attached resources which were origninally produced to teach the same lesson as part of a Chinese themed week of activities prior to the Olympic Games in Beijing.
