1. Mid-Autumn Festival Classroom Decorations for Elementary Schools
For elementary schools, besides decorating the classroom, the blackboard should be a key focus for decoration. Teachers and students can showcase their creativity by using colorful chalk to create vibrant Mid-Autumn Festival artwork. This will surely become a cherished memory for both teachers and students every Mid-Autumn Festival.


2. Decorating Preschool Classrooms for the Mid-Autumn Festival
Decorating Preschool Classrooms with Star Lanterns: Star lanterns are a traditional toy that is an essential part of the Mid-Autumn Festival for children in Vietnam. Made from bamboo, glossy paper, and adorned with colorful patterns, these lanterns are an important decoration for preschool classrooms. Star lanterns come in various sizes, and you can use this to your advantage by placing a large one in the center, flanked by smaller ones on each side, creating an eye-catching display.
Decorating with Paper Lanterns: Like star lanterns, paper lanterns are also a beloved toy for children during the Mid-Autumn Festival. With a variety of colors and shapes, paper lanterns can make the classroom entrance stand out. Today, paper lanterns are often made into cute animal shapes like fish, frogs, or even characters like Doraemon, making them a fun and attractive choice. Teachers can pick the most striking lanterns for their classroom. In addition to hanging paper lanterns, teachers can also enhance the decorations by adding cut-out shapes like stars, moons, or crescents, creating a lively atmosphere at the classroom entrance.
Decorating with Cut-out Shapes Featuring Wishes: What do you think about using cut-out shapes with the children's wishes as decorations for the preschool classroom? This creative idea is something that preschool teachers should definitely try. You can cut out crescent moon and star shapes, write the children's wishes on them, and then tie them together with string to hang on the door. Adding a piece of cardboard with the message "The Wishes of the Children in Class... for the Moon Goddess" would surely delight the kids.


3. Decorating Preschool Classroom Walls for the Mid-Autumn Festival
The classroom walls cover a large area and provide the perfect space for teachers and students to unleash their creativity in decorating for the Mid-Autumn Festival. So, what are some decoration ideas? Let's explore them with Mytour!
Decorating Preschool Walls for the Mid-Autumn Festival with Drawings: Images such as the Moon Goddess, the Jade Rabbit, the banyan tree, lanterns, children, the moon, and clouds are all iconic symbols of the festival. These familiar visuals make fantastic ideas for decorating the walls. Teachers and students can create scenes like the lantern procession with children, the sound of the lion dance drum, or pictures of the Moon Goddess and the Jade Rabbit, or even Uncle Cuoi by the banyan tree.
Decorating Preschool Classroom Ceilings with Lanterns: For the ceiling, teachers can hang strings and attach paper lanterns, which are commonly used during the festival. It’s best to choose lanterns that are small and appropriately sized to avoid overcrowding the space. This decoration style can also be used in elementary school classrooms, where it will surely capture the children's attention.


4. Decorating the Mid-Autumn Festival Feast
For young children, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not just about going out, carrying lanterns, and singing songs, but also the excitement of enjoying the mooncake feast. The Mid-Autumn Fruit Tray traditionally includes fruits, sweets, and jams, but it doesn't have to be boring. With a bit of creativity, we can make these trays both beautiful and unique. Preschool teachers can decorate the feast tray with items like:
- A dog made from pomelo: Pomelo is a key fruit in any Mid-Autumn tray. However, instead of leaving the fruit whole, why not turn it into a cute dog using pomelo segments for the body, banana stalks for the head and body, and longan seeds for the eyes and nose? Similar creations can be made with a fish from dragon fruit, a hedgehog from pears and grapes, a frog from chayote, or a peacock made from zucchini. You can also design a moon-shaped watermelon or a Jade Rabbit from watermelon.
- To create the perfect Mid-Autumn tray, teachers should arrange fruits and sweets in a way that the colors are harmoniously balanced. Whether you choose ripe or unripe fruits, it's essential to have a mix because the green fruit represents yin, while ripe fruit symbolizes yang, representing the balance of the universe.
- The traditional setup often places the pomelo dog as the centerpiece, with two black bean seeds as its eyes. Surround it with a mix of fruits and colorful mooncakes, including multi-flavored or vegetarian mooncakes, arranged in playful shapes.
