Geography studies are a great way for your kids to learn about different countries, and with Chinese New Year being so recent a bunch of us have been looking for China activities for elementary kids. What amazes me is how many amazing things there are to do with China.
I’m going to freely admit I’m doing this round up more for my sake than everyone else’s because I want to do a belated Chinese New Year study with the kids tomorrow.

So many ideas of books for China here
I’ve figured out my next 3 weeks of Featuring Ideas if you’ve got some stuff to go back and add in, mainly because ya’ll linked up so many great things last week I started 3 drafts, so find your old posts on these topics:
50 State Studies
Using maps creatively
Asian Studies (you guys shared several great Japan ones last week, and I focused on China here)
So, search through those archives and link them in. Ya’ll gave me a lot of great material this week. And I’m loving your current stuff too. Great posts last week.
The “Thousand Hand Guan Yin” video is originally from China, so the performers are all Chinese, but the title and description on the Youtube page are in the Thai language. The origin of the Thousand-Hand Guan Yin is from Buddhist tales as depicted in the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, a desert area along the Silk Road.
Hope that helps. 🙂
Great round up and thanks for including my books post. I have to look in the archives and come and link back up 🙂
“Eat your way across China” sound like fun…
