Printable Chinese Zodiac Bookmarks

What better way to celebrate the Chinese New Year than with these Chinese Zodiac Bookmarks. The Chinese New Year usually begins in January or February of our calendar year. In 2025, the Chinese New Year is Wednesday, January 29th and celebrates the Year of the Snake.

The Chinese Zodiac is represented by twelve different animals. In Chinese astrology, the animal symbols are assigned to a year with the idea that if you are born within that year you will have characteristics of the animal represented.

Use these Chinese Zodiac Bookmarks as an add-on to your existing lesson plans. Designed for children, the Chinese Zodiac bookmarks print six per page. You can select the same zodiac symbol for all six bookmarks or select six different ones to print on a page. Children can find the year that is meaningful to them. Each also lists strengths, weakness and lucky numbers that are associated with the symbol.

The Chinese Zodiac Bookmarks will print six per page. You have the option to print 6 of one type or 6 that are different. Start off by selecting the Zodiac sign that you would like to print:
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, (print all 6, one of each)
Horse, Lamb, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, (print all 6, one of each)

You’ll want to use heavier, card stock paper for the bookmarks. Both the designs and the text will show up better on white paper.

Once you have printed a page, cut the bookmarks apart using the light gray line as a guide. You can print as many bookmarks as you need for your classroom or group.
