Chinese Zodiac Story using Pokémon (10-14)

In this class, we will be using Pokémon to represent the animals in the Folk Tale of 'The Great Race', which explains how the 12 Chinese animal zodiacs were chosen. Students will also have the chance to learn some fun facts about Chinese New Year traditions, their own zodiacs and some Chinese vocabulary. 

For this class, students are encouraged to wear something red (a very lucky color in China). We will begin class discussing our favorite Pokémon and finding China on the world map. The style of the class will be a mix of story-telling and interaction. I will share my screen to show storytelling images. Students get to choose from options which Pokémon we will be using in the story.
