Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday Chinese people celebrate. It is often called Spring Festival as it signals the beginning of Spring. It is a time when families come together to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

Spring Festival Dance Massage is a communication through touch activity celebrating Chinese New Year. Each part of the activity has a different theme, touch input, or action related to a Spring Festival tradition.

A Spring Festival PowerPoint/YouTube video with music and images complements this activity. A link for each may be found in the resource download.
