Panda’s Let’s Explore!: Lunar New Year program is a fun and educational way to introduce students to the rich history and traditions of Lunar New Year. Designed for both in-classroom and distance learning, the curriculum includes 8 interactive activities such as trivia, cultural exploration, simple Chinese words and phrases, and more!

Any school or youth-serving organization is welcome! The program is designed for grades Pre-K through 5th.

Nope! Participation in the Let’s Explore!: Lunar New Year program is completely free.

The online curriculum will be available from January 19 to March 6, 2026, for registered partners. During registration, you’ll be asked to provide your lesson date so we can coordinate delivery of the accompanying Lunar New Year activity booklets and special offers for your students. (Physical booklets are limited and available while supplies last.)

Our Let's Explore!: LNY program is designed for both large and small class sizes.

Food is not included in the program. However, we’re excited to share special Lunar New Year offers that students and their families can use to enjoy a celebratory meal together with their Panda favorites. Offers are limited and available while supplies last.

Online registration opens on November 21, 2025. Curriculum access will be available from January 19 to March 6, 2026.

We will not be offering in-person presentations for the 2026 program. Instead, we’ve created a Teacher’s Guide to help educators lead the curriculum in their classrooms, along with activity booklets (physical booklets are limited and available while supplies last) to inspire students to continue exploring Lunar New Year traditions at home.
