Ni Hao Kai-Lan Party Games and Activities

  • Chinese Dragon Craft Pre-cut out the head and tail of a Chinese dragon (use card stock paper). Use white paper for the middle of the dragon and fold it like a fan. Glue the head and tail to the middle of the dragon. Attach Popsicle sticks to the head and tail with glue or a strong tape. Color the dragon with markers.
  • Tangram Puzzles Figure out the tangram puzzles (make sure to try to make the Kai Lan Characters – tiger, panda, monkey, and rhino).
  • Firework Craft Use dark navy or black construction paper. Create a design using pencil and then cover the design with glue. Then carefully cover the design with glitter and sparkles. Shake and the craft is completed. Hint – do the glitter / sparkles in a large tub or outside. Careful sparkles do get everywhere!
  • Paper bag Puppets Make paper bag puppets of all the Ni Hao Kai-Lan characters. Not only is this fun, but the guests can then play with the puppets or put on a puppet show.
  • Chinese Bracelets Create some Chinese bracelets. Use stretchy bracelet and necklace wire (can get at dollar type stores), and go to your local Chinese market or China town to get some authentic beads. Try to find some with painted flowers, lettering, etc.
  • Learn some Mandarin Chinese Learn some sayings that Kai-Lan uses in her shows e.g., Ni Hao mean Hi.
  • Tea time Make some sugar cookies, use red cookie icing for the top and then draw on some Chinese numbers and words in white icing.
