One of our members, who is a native of Hainan Island off the coast of China, organized this Chinese Cultural Day in celebration of Chinese New Year. We learned about Chinese customs, history, and geography, and practiced counting to ten and writing our names in Chinese. The most fun part for everyone was the “chopsticks challenge,” where the children challenged themselves to pick up noodles, peas, and ice cubes with chopsticks. Everyone enjoyed scallion pancakes and a variety of sweet treats that are commonly eaten for Chinese New Year.
