Chinese New Year Dragon

Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider


Oh, watch the New Year's Dragon
(point to eyes)

He likes to dance around
(dance)

He listens to the music
(cup hand around ear)

And makes his growling sound
(growl)

When the dragon dances,
(dance)

The New Year can begin,

And we won't see the dragon again
(shake finger no)

'til New Year is here again!

Lion Dance Song

See the lion dance and prance
Dance and prance, dance and prance
See the lion dance and prance
On Chinese New Year's Day
Hear the firecrackers pop Pop pop
pop pop pop pop
Hear the firecrackers pop
On Chinese New Year's Day
See the children laugh and clap
Laugh and clap laugh and clap
See the children laugh and clap
On Chinese New Year's Day

Almond Cookies

To tune of: Are you Sleeping?

Almond cookies, almond cookies
For the new year, for the new year
Mix and stir and bake, mix and stir and bake
Yum, yum, yum. Yum, yum, yum.

Chinese New Year's Dragon

There's a great big dragon coming our way ,
A great big dragon on this holiday,
(march with others in a weaving line)
Let's grab our lanterns and follow along,
Dancing & waving and singing a song.
(dancing and waving while moving in a line)
There's a great big dragon coming our way ,
Hip, hip, hurray!

Dragon Dance

Dragon, dragon, darting dragon,
Dancing through the town.

Dragon, dragon, dashing dragon
Dipping up and down.

Dragon, dragon, bright and bold,
Flame red eyes and scales of gold.

Dragon whirling, dragon twirling,
Curling, twirling round and round.

Dragon dragon, fiery dragon
You give me no fear,

Dragon, dragon, lucky dragon,
Bringing in New year.
