Chinese for kids Halloween Printable Chinese Play and Learn. Chinese Teaching Resources for seasonal topic, Halloween!
When children are learning Chinese and Chinese culture every festival and culture holiday celebrated in the community that you live in are a good opportunity to connect the Chinese language and Chinese culture with the world. Children can explore the similarities and the differences of world festivals.
“Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.❞American author, Rita Mae Brown said.
It is very true.

Highlighting Chinese language and Chinese culture for children when we celebrate holidays and festivals in our community leads our kids to polish their cross-culture communication skills. Halloween comes in October 31. Days of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos falls on November 1st. Japanese have the Obon festival that honors the ancestors.
Korean has Chusok that is a harvest festival and a time to honor one’s ancestors and deceased loved ones. Chinese Qing Ming Festival 清明節|清明节 is a day to visit the tombs of the loved ones and this culture holiday in April.
Children ask “Is there a Chinese Halloween?” The answer is there is a Chinese Ghost Month 鬼月 that falls in the 7th lunar month and the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival 中元節|中元节 falls in the middle of the month.
All of above festivals are a good starting point for your children on extended learning about Halloween and similar cultural festivals in the world.
For the seasonal topic for the month I have a set of Chinese for Kids activities to go with Halloween. There are Halloween printables, Halloween Literacy Numbers & Story teaching unit, and two stories.
There are two Chinese Easy Reader stories for Halloween. The first one is Happy Halloween. This reader has a total of 170 Chinese characters with dressed up kids going on a trick-or-treat. The second one is What Does The Little Ghost Eat. There are 129 Chinese characters in this fun story filled with food words.
Both readers come with audio support so you can do read aloud or “focus story listening” with Miss Panda!
