Red is one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture, standing for prosperity, loyalty, success, and happiness. Red can drive away bad luck and evil spirits.
Therefore wearing red during your zodiac year (or zodiac year) will bring you good luck and give you a good year. You can wear a red belt, red socks, red shoes, or red clothes, and red underwear is highly recommended during your zodiac year. Besides wearing red, you can also wear jade accessories during your zodiac year to ward off bad luck, like pendants, earrings, rings, and bracelets.
Panda Express has a Celebrate Chinese New Year Kit which is nice for younger children and for the classroom. (www.celebratecny.com)
A few monkey jokes for the kids:
Why don't monkeys play cards in the jungle?
There are too many cheetahs there!
What key won't open any door?
A monkey!
Why did the monkey like the banana?
Because it had appeal!
