Chinese New Year and
Year of the Dragon
Chinese New Year is the most important of the Chinese holidays, and is a time of feasting with the family, celebration,
fireworks, and gift-giving. On 23rd January 2012 we wave goodbye to the Year of the Rabbit and welcome in the Year of
the Dragon! To celebrate we've got all sorts of inspiration based on the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac (the dragon in particular)
as well as China in general.
Groundhog Day
Will the groundhog cast a shadow on the ground when he comes out of his hole on 2nd February? Based on an
old German tradition, Groundhog Day is now recognised in the US. Find out more and have some fun with our Groundhog Day activities!
Waitangi Day
Waitangi Day is national patriotic holiday for New Zealanders held on the 6th February every year. Explore our Waitangi Day activities
and find out something about New Zealand along the way!

Celebrate Valentines Day on 14th February with Activity Village's selection of Valentine crafts, colouring,
puzzles, jokes, cards, jigsaws and printables for kids! You'll find all sorts of Valentine's Day activities to keep your kids busy...

Helping parents, teachers and grandparents keep kids busy since 2000!
... thank you. For helping me at school AND at home! :)
Thank you so much. Very helpful for teachers.
Thanks for the awesome activities!! These will be very useful this year as I am teaching Grade One.
Just got some ace stuff to print off for my disabled grandson to take into school for Chinese New Year.
I'm a Mexican English Teacher who works in Public and Centre The Anglo. I've been checking many webs and yours is awesome.
These are just a few of the most recent comments received from visitors. Many thanks to all of you!
I came across the site about a year ago. Since that time Activity Village has become my everyday source of inspiration while working with children. Thank you so much for that. Meg, Poland
Thank you, your site is awesome! Candy
As I am sure you will appreciate, budgets are very tight in schools and we need to do as much 'self help' as possible. Your particular resources will help us tremendously and I am grateful for the help you have already provided. John
I've just discovered your website and an really impressed! Most of the craft ideas I get to use with children and my older folks church group are American. It's good to have UK based ideas - and so many if them! Thank you, Jan from Dorset
I have two girls aged 12 and 6. Stumbled across your website one day and have been visiting it ever since. My eldest daughter loves all the colouring and crafts and my younger daughter loves the puzzle pages. My youngest daughter has Aspergers' syndrome and has had problems toileting at school (just started in year 1) and your puzzle pages have proved a great incentive to help her stay dry at school as her reward is an activity sheet when she gets home! Her favourites at the moment are the sudoku. Many many thanks for your resources. Keep up the good work. Don't know what I'd do without you! Helen

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful site. I work as a social worker in South Africa and implement behaviour modification programmes for primary school children. I am always in search of activity ideas which I can link to a particular topic/behaviour and often visit your site. The children also derive much pleasure and stimulation from these activities. Arleen

I have just recently signed up for your emails and I find the crafts and colouring pages brilliant.
For years whenever any special holidays arrived I found myself looking back through old files to find template and using the same ones each year. Now I've got lots of new ones. Have printed ones for Groundhog Day and Chinese New Year which I've never marked before. Keep up the good work. Sheila
I love your website! My kids love doing the crafts and learning about holidays in other countries. I was a little upset that you put "4th of July" instead of "independence day". Thank you for your website. Olivia
