IDEAS FOR CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

Boy Dumplings

  • Read Boy Dumplings
  • I will need the following:
    • Prepare the filling based on the recipe (enough for 20 dumplings)
    • A packet of wonton wrappers
    • A bowl of cold water
    • Thin-slice a carrot to make discs for the dumplings

I will demonstrate making dumplings and invite six volunteers to make them with me.

We won't cook the dumplings, this is just to show how to stuff them.

The PTA mother or the teachers can make dumplings, or order samples from a Chinese restaurant, to share with the students before or after the visit.

Watch video of Ying making dumplings
