The giving of red envelopes is really important on Chinese New Year. You could use red construction paper and have them decorate and make their own envelopes?

Typically you give money in them, but they could make paper coins/money. you could have them 'present' their envelope to a fellow classmate?

Thanks, what a good idea!

Do you know of any good books to read to them about it?

we made red envelopes and drew a picture with gold crayon on top. The kids made a coupon for their parents like 'set the table' to put in it. Check out Ms Frizzle's Imperial China for a cute read aloud
