Chinese New Year History
* Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later.
The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
* Learn your Chinese Zodiac animal. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements.
* The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days.
* In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-year cycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year.
* This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
* The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table.
* The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community.
* The communal feast is called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.

BUSES, TRAMS, TROLLEYS: Divide up into 2 teams (6 players in each one). Choose 3 persons for a jury. The teams number off. Each player must remember his/her number. The players form up 2 lines in file. The distance between the lines is 6-8 steps. Between the lines there stand 3 chairs. The first chair is "a bus", the second - is "a tram", the third - is "a trolley-bus". The instructor starts speaking: "It's early, early morning. All the people are hurrying to work. There are many people at the bus-stops. Now in the distance I see … I see… What do I see … Well, it's number 3 bus." His/her words the instructor pronounces quickly. Both numbers "3" must take place on the first chair. The player who takes the place the first brings a point to his/her team. Numbers "3" return to their places. The instructor continues: "There were so many people at the bus stop, that only 2 people managed to take the bus. (The instructor marks out the words "two" and "bus".) All the rest must wait again for the bus. Now I see number 1… tram (both numbers "1" must take place on the second chair) etc.
