Make Dragon Boat Festival (端午节) a real learning moment. This print-and-use set gives children a hands-on way to learn the key Chinese vocabulary for the festival — with beautiful illustrations, pinyin, and Chinese characters all in one place.

What’s inside

The set includes two PDFs, ready to print at home or school.

PDF 1 — Vocabulary Flashcards (A4)

17 illustrated flashcard cards covering all the essential Dragon Boat Festival words:
端午节 · 龙舟节 · 龙舟 · 龙头 · 桨 · 鼓 · 龙舟比赛 · 艾草和菖蒲 · 粽子 · 竹叶 · 糯米 · 包粽子 · 吃粽子 · 五彩绳 · 香囊 · 屈原 · 端午节快乐

Cards come in two formats — with pinyin labels and without — so you can use them at different learning stages.

Each card shows:

• The English word or phrase at the top
• A clear, colourful illustration in the middle
• Pinyin and Chinese characters at the bottom

PDF 2 — Coloring & Tracing Worksheets

17 matching black-and-white pages, one for each vocabulary card. Children colour the illustration and trace or copy the Chinese characters. A simple, effective way to build character recognition and fine motor skills at the same time.

How to use this set

• Flashcard games: Memory match, Go Fish, or quick recall
• Classroom display: Print A4 and pin up around the room during festival week
• Colouring activity: Keep children engaged while they absorb the vocabulary
• Festival preparation: Go through the cards together before making zongzi or watching a race — children remember words better when they connect them to real experiences
