The theme of “Chinese Spring Festival” culture experience was held at Chinese Class at Montessori Elementary School

当地时间2019年2月7日下午3点，汉语志愿者教师王昕带领蒙特梭利探索学校的小朋友们一起体验了中国春节的传统文化习俗。

在开始体验前，教师先借助一部动画短片向学生们展示了春节对于中国人的重要性，以及中国春节的传统习俗，学生们对这些“新奇的”习俗感到非常有趣同时也提出了很多疑问，教师一一耐心解答。

随后，教师拿出了一个立体“春”字的剪纸，学生们非常激动，指着剪纸说自己也想要。教师便拿出准备好的红纸、铅笔、剪刀等工具，与学生们一起动手剪“春”字。最惊喜的环节还在后面，当教师拿出红包的时候，学生们的眼睛都亮了。但想要红包并没有那么容易，学生必须成功说出“新春快乐，猪年大吉”才能收到红包，最终学生们都成功地说出了这个句子，并顺利收到了红包。

最后，教师和学生们一起合唱了一首《新年好》，本次春节文化体验课程也完美地落下帷幕。本次文化体验课不仅让学生们感受了中国春节的欢乐气氛，同时也让学生们进一步了解了中国春节的传统文化。

At 3 pm local time on February 7, 2019, Chinese volunteer teacher Wang Xin led the children of Montessori Elementary School to experience the traditional culture and customs of the Chinese New Year.

Before starting the experience, the teacher first showed the students the importance of the Spring Festival to Chinese people and the traditional customs of the Chinese New Year by a short video. The students were very interesting about these customs and asked many questions. The teacher answered them patiently.

Later, the teacher took out a “Spring” paper-cut, the students were very excited, pointing to paper-cut and saying that they also wanted. The teacher then took out the prepared red paper, pencil, scissors and other tools, and work with the students to cut the “Spring”. The most surprising part is still in the behind. When the teacher took out the red envelope, the students were crazy. But it would not be so easy to get a red packet. Students must successfully say “Happy Chinese New Year, Year of the Pig” to receive the red packet. Finally, all of the students successfully said this sentence and successfully received the red packet.

Finally, the teacher and the students sang together “Happy New Year”, and this Spring Festival cultural experience course was perfectly ended. This cultural experience class not only allows students to feel the happy atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, but also allows students to understand the traditional culture of the Chinese New Year.
