Levels 1-4

The essence of lanterns is giving light. For ideas and inspiration, look at these lanterns from the Asia:NZ Lantern Festival.

In the Social Studies unit you have learned about the stories and traditions of the Lantern Festival. Now pool this knowledge to make your lanterns. Hold a Lantern Festival in your class and enter your lanterns in the Asia:NZ Lantern Festival (around February/March each year).
