Chinese Zodiac Animals for Kids

Are you teaching your students about Lunar New Year / Chinese New Year? These adorable Chinese Zodiac animal posters are the perfect addition to your classroom resources during this cultural celebration.

The Chinese zodiac cycle lasts twelve years, with each year named after an animal. Chinese people believe that people will have the characteristics of the animal associated with the year they were born. Each of the Zodiac animals has a poster with the following information:

  • The years these animals were the chosen zodiac animal.
  • The characteristics of the animal.

What is the Difference Between Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year?

The celebration is often referred to as Chinese New Year, but it isn’t only celebrated in China; therefore, the term Lunar New Year is being used more and more to refer to the celebration.
