Extra activities:
We talked about what sign (Chinese Zodiac animals) everyone was born under depending on their birth date

Five Little Pandas
Five little pandas went out to play
On a sunny, sunny day (hold up five fingers)
The first little panda climbed a tree (hand over hand)
The second little panda got stung by a bee (poke stomach and say Ouch!)
The third little panda went rolling down hill (rolling motion with hands)
The fourth little panda sat oh, so still (hold index finger to lips--Shh!)
The fifth little panda went to the river
And got so wet he had to shiver! (hug yourself and shiver)
