The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a significant event in Chinese culture. It is a time of reunion, reflection, and gratitude. During this festival, families gather together, eat mooncakes, and admire the full moon. To celebrate this special occasion, I have created a set of 19 free Mid-Autumn worksheets available in different Bilingual English and Chinese versions (Traditional, Simplified, Zhuyin, and Pinyin). These worksheets are perfect for parents who want to teach their children about the Mid-Autumn Festival while improving their Chinese language skills.
Our family has always embraced the Mid-Autumn Festival traditions, especially when we gather with relatives and our beloved grandmothers. From the first time my kids were introduced to this festival, they quickly learned that it was a time for savoring moon cakes and delighting in the joy of playing with lanterns.
Gradually, I began to introduce the story and the books, and now I have even created delightful, vibrant worksheets for them to enjoy. These worksheets are ideal for keeping children entertained at restaurants, especially during gatherings with relatives, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
