As a kid growing up in Boston, celebrating the Chinese New Year each February was one of my favorite school activities.

One class would “turn into” a chinese dragon and run around the school creating all kinds of noise and excitement!

If you have kids, I’d definitely recommend the experience. One great way to do it as a family is to head to the Boston Children’s Museum for the celebrations.

They provide performances and fun activities for the whole family. During the 2011 celebrations, the entertainment will range from a traditional Chinese lion dance to making a rabbit collage to celebrate the year of the rabbit!
