These print and go worksheets help students to understand the traditional Chinese zodiac calendar while practising listing years in order.

Students will identify the current Chinese zodiac year and use that information alongside the zodiac cycle diagram to fill in the surrounding years. Three differentiated activities are provided, including an extension task where students follow the pattern to identify which zodiac year they were born in and make assertions about the personality traits associated with that zodiac based on the animal. Once complete, they can colour in the animals and the rings!

A basic colouring page is also included featuring the twelve animals of the cycle. Answer keys are provided.
