Chinese
Zodiac Game Cards

These Chinese Zodiac
printables can be used in many different ways.
Play a Memory Game.
Play Snap!
Play Find Your Partner. Pin one of each pair to each child's
back and send them off to find their partner - but they must first work
out who they are, by asking questions which can be answered only by Yes or
No. Have a Treasure Hunt. A simple way to play is to see who can
find the most cards. To make the game harder, print out both sets of
cards: give one colour to the child and tell them to hunt for the matching
card in the other colour. Or you could practice reading by giving each
child a card with the name of an animal for them to hunt for (younger
children could read Rat, Ox or Dog; older children could be given the more
difficult words). Make a Board Game. Use the cards to make the spaces on your own game
board, perhaps using a file folder or a large piece of card. You could cut
out extra cards and use them as game cards, writing questions on the back
which the children must answer correctly before moving.
Make a Mobile.
Cut out each pair of cards then stick them back to back while trapping a
short thread between the cards with which to hang them.
Make a
Banner. Punch holes in each side of the card and then string them
together with bright-colored ribbon or wool (yarn) to hang about the
classroom or home. A quicker banner can be assembled using one long ribbon
and a stapler!
