At last Friday’s toddler classes, we sung one of Chinese New Year songs together. As all the lyrics in the song are Chinese, I thought it might be tricky for kids to follow it. So we used parachute to make it fun while we were singing the Chinese song.
《新年好》
Happy New Year
Classic Children’s Song for the celebration of Chinese New Year
Here is the lyrics in Chinese and pinyin:
新年好 xīn nián hǎo ya, 新年好 xīn nián hǎo ya,
祝贺大家新年好。 zhù hè dà jiā xīn nián hǎo.
我们唱歌,我们跳舞. wǒ men chàng gē, wǒ men tiào wǔ,
祝贺大家新年好。 zhù hè dà jiā xīn nián hǎo.
English meaning:
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
I wish everyone a happy new year.
We sing, and we dance,
I wish everyone a happy new year
Key words:
新年 xīn nián: New Year
好 hǎo: Good
祝贺 zhù hè: Wish
大家 dà jiā: Everyone
我们 wǒ men: We
唱歌 chàng gē: Sing
跳舞 tiào wǔ: Dance
Here is a video on youtube. You might want to show it to your child/ren and sing along. We will be singing at our next week’s Toddler classes.
