I want to share this great multicultural craft from China, that kids of ANY age will enjoy.īeijing (Chinese) opera, sometimes called Peking Opera, combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. Then we got the opportunity to participate in an interactive, cultural activity: one group did Chinese calligraphy, another did polymer clay making, and our group made Beijing Opera masks. Our large group was divided into three and toured the school with the sweet students. Many of them speak English as most students in China begin studying English in kindergarten. The school has about 300 students, between the ages of 13-15. 1 Branch School of Capital Normal University High School in Beijing.

What an amazing trip!!! One of the activities we did was a visit to No.

The group is unique in that it offers cultural activities and visit to allow our kids who were born in China, to reconnect with their heritage culture. Last summer, we took a very special trip to China for adoptive families, with the China Ties program.
