So, I am still brainstorming to come up with more activity ideas around "Chinese New Year 2008 (see the article below)." And I found this interesting article called "Solving a Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery Inside a Cookie" from The New York Times. The article talks about how a researcher has traced the origins of fortune cookies to shops near Kyoto, Japan. The research began from a simple question: fortune cookies are served in Chinese restaurants in Britain, Mexico, Italy, France and elsewhere EXCEPT CHINA, WHY??? Okay, so this has really nothing to do with music activities, but you never know where inspiration comes from  

Oh, check out the audio slide show of "A Cookie's History" and the video of "A Cookie's Origins." Pictures are beautiful and very well put.
