小学生春节英语作文5句（合集20篇）

“噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦·······”随着一阵阵鞭炮声，我们送走了旧岁，春节的脚步已悄然而至。

大家都知道年三十儿，家家户户都会吃丰盛的 年 夜 饭，餐桌上少不了鸡和鱼。因为吃鸡会吉祥如意，吃鱼会年年有余。今年除夕，我们家来一个新创意，那就是餐餐词语多。游戏规则：妈妈要做三道菜，每道菜都蕴含着一个成语，看谁能猜的又快又准。

游戏开始了，第一道菜是用青竹笋和梅子做的，我信心十足地说出了答案：“是青梅竹马！我太厉害了，哈哈。”妈妈说：“哼，别得意，好戏在后面呢！”

第二道菜被端出来了。我一看迫不及待地说：“不就是土豆嘛，这有啥说头？”妈妈却说：“非也非也！”我吃了一块，清脆爽口，发现并不是土豆，而是马蹄。我想：马蹄，马蹄，难道是······，我突然明白了。于是我得意洋洋地说：“是马到成功！”妈妈很不服气。

第三道菜也端上来了，是用削成丝的竹笋和鸡块一起做的，我左思右想，抓耳挠腮，就是想不出来。妈妈说：“不会了吧，不会了吧？告诉你，是蛛丝马迹。”我一想也对，只好认了。

妈妈为我们盛上的这一桌集文化与物质于一体的大餐，可真是别有一番风味。我们边津津有味地享受着这份大餐，边欣赏精彩纷呈的春晚，一家人其乐融融，开心极了。

[过春节的小学作文

早在大年三十的前几天，我就为大年三十做着准备。我和妈妈在家为奶奶、姥姥、姨妈、和我们家写春联。去年也是我给他们写的。春联很不好写，我写的很认真。看到我写的春联贴在门上，我很有成就感，他们都夸我写的好。

晚上，我们6点开始吃了年夜饭。

到了8点，我们看春节联欢晚会，我就看了几个节目就不看了，去干自己的事。

等爸爸他们看完节目，爸爸他们就去烧香，我就在家里等他们，他们回来都两点多了，姐姐说：“磕头，磕完头就睡觉。”爸爸说：“磕头是我们家的传统，晚辈给长辈磕头，还要送上祝福。”大伯拿一个枕头放在地上，等姐姐磕完了，就轮到我磕了，我说的祝福都很简单，我希望我妈妈能在新的一年里少干点家务活，爸爸能在高一点就好了。我磕完了头，领到了很多大红包，我也送给了大伯、二爸、三爸礼物，我的礼物是用楷书、篆书、隶书写的三幅“文若春华”的书法作品，他们看到后都很惊讶，说我的字进步很大，大伯说以后每年都要送一副字给他。奶奶还给我了一个三好学生的大红包，我非常高兴。

我要更加努力，做到最棒。

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

In China， Spring Festival is the biggest day. People will come back home and enjoy spending some time with their families. So no matter how far they are， they will figure out all the ways to come back home and get reunited. The house cleaning work before the coming of this big day always brings me the happy memory.

We can find something lost a long time ago in the corner. It is like the surprise and makes me feel so excited. On the New Year’s Eve， all of my families will sit together and enjoy the real big meal. We share our happiness and the future expectation. What a nice moment.

我们家乡的春节别有一番特色，从除夕到正月十五，每天都会有精彩。虽然春节期间大家都忙里忙外，但是如果把忙碌和欢乐相融，我想应该是宁另一种幸福感和激动吧。

除夕是最值得我们庆贺的一个时刻。因为在这个时刻，除了有特殊原因外，一般大家都会回到家里，与家人们团聚 在一起，吃上一顿丰盛的 年 夜 饭，说说离别时的奇闻乐事，津津有味地品偿美味佳肴，享受着团圆的乐趣。吃完 年 夜 饭，我们可以到室外去观看四处美丽的烟花在夜空中缤纷绽放，聆听四处每一声喜庆的祝福。走在泰州的每一条大街小巷，你都会真切地感受到那激动人心的时刻。随着人们生活水平的不断改善和企业科技力量的提高，五花八门、千姿百态的烟花不断涌现，我们所看到的烟花越来越美、人们燃放的烟花也越来越多，特别是今年我感到变化很大。除了晚上八点钟的春节联欢晚会外，到了十二点左右，也就是午夜零点时刻，我们又能听到一阵一阵激烈的爆竹和鞭炮声，愈演愈烈，一场别开生面的音乐会就拉开了序幕。

大年初一的早晨，我们总是要吃枣、糕、包子、干丝等苏扬早点，酌一杯上好的茶，好不丰盛，这是我们维扬的传统。从初一开始至初十左右，我们大家都要到亲戚朋友家里去作客拜年。去时一般都会带上一些礼品，表达一片客气之意。同样，亲戚朋友来作客也是如此。无论是我们去作客，还是亲戚朋友来作客，小孩子肯定赚足了便宜，因为他（她）们能得到大人们的压岁钱，手拿压岁钱心里别提有多高兴！

正月里各个商家初次开门都会燃放爆竹。老爸的工厂在初十开工，也都会燃放大量爆竹，晚上还有的烟花的表演呢，都呈现给人一派喜庆的景象。正月里我们家乡还有各类丰富的娱乐活动，有许多晚会及盛宴，好不热闹。

正月十五元宵节又是我们春节期间的一个重要节日，家家户户都会购买汤圆或自己做汤圆吃。吃汤圆表示我们大家团团圆圆、和和美美。

家乡的春节多姿多彩，最快乐的当然要属我们小朋友了。除了过年能有压岁钱外，最开心的是我们可以轻松自由地玩耍。尤其是春节里，男孩子们可尽情地点放鞭炮，每一次响亮的爆炸声，都预示着一次快乐的欢呼，哪怕是冒着耳朵也能感受到心跳的精彩。大人们虽然没有和我们一起玩，但看着我们那高兴的样子，他们也都心花怒放！

家乡的春节习俗包含了老祖宗们对美后生活的向往和对未来无比的祝愿！祝大家新年快乐，学业有成！

我们过春节要包饺子、吃年饭、贴对联等等习俗。春节是我国一个古老的节日，也是最重要的节日，所以我们每个人都要过春节。

这一天春节来到，又是我们小孩子喜欢的节日咯！过春节又可以得到压岁钱了！得到了压岁钱，就可以去买东西啦！我到外面的小店里买来一大袋子鞭炮。一回到家我就拉着妈妈，让她陪我到楼下放炮子，刚到院子里我就开始点。听着鞭炮的响声，我的心立刻高兴极了！

炮子放完了，我就到家里和姥姥一起去包饺子。我看着一个个可爱的饺子，我高兴极了！

春节时，晚上热闹极了，人们都要守岁，熬到12点。许多人12点都放起了炮子，都把天照亮了！我们放完了电光炮后就打开窗子，哇！就像在白天一样！如果我们在路上走，不用点灯就可以看见了！

转眼间，又到了上学时期了，我们又要去上学啦，我还真留恋春节时期呢！

dawn." The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was

idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of

Congratulations on the 5th anniversary of Global Mirror!

Besides, the success stories of world-famous people are also attractive to me, which help me learn a lot from them. In a word, thanks to Global Mirror, we are well-informed and keep up with the changing world.

As a young student, I wish that I can be a master of English language. Therefore, I suggest that Global Mirror provide articles about English learning for us.

Finally, I hope that Global Mirror will become more and more popular. Thank you for your time!

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua

年初一，因为我的懒觉，浙江没去成，和妈妈在家过了一天，到晚上的时候有点没劲。妈妈提议到威威哥哥家去，出门的时候马大哈的妈妈居然把我和她自己锁在了门外，后来是爸爸叫来专职的师傅开

的门。

年初二，妈妈带我去了大公园，在那里我画了沙画，这次是我一个人完成的哦，很不错吧!接下来我们又玩了小火车和立环跑车。后来又到了迪卡侬，我最喜欢骑那里的小自行车了，我踏的得心应手，

如鱼穿梭，让妈妈担心的在边上一直提醒我慢点。当心，别撞到别的小朋友了，要拐弯了，减点速度。那时的我，说实话我已经很累了，当爸爸接我回去的时候，我在车上睡着了。

年初三，爸爸说要带我去机场看飞机，我可不想看什么飞机，还是大公园好玩呢!所以硬是没依着爸爸，可爸爸说：“你的所见所闻太狭隘。”后来还是驱车到了无锡，因为太远我只看见了一个隐隐约

约的飞机，算是长见识了吧，希望下次爸爸能带我坐飞机。

年初四，家里来了很多客人，还来了一位杭州的哥哥，我们玩的可开心了。

年初五、年初六是我陪爷爷奶奶的日子。原来初六是我新年新学期的第一天，爸爸说还是周一去吧，不然下周要上七天的课，担心我这个小精灵不适应。其实，我是很想早点见到杨老师和露露老师还有

阿姨，还有小朋友们。不过那天早上我又懒床了，早上的我还是懒洋洋的啊!嘿嘿。

我的家乡安徽省安庆市宿松县历史悠久，物产丰富。这里有可口的美食，有充满趣味的黄梅戏，更有风味独特的习俗。

“百里不同风，千里不同俗。”按老家的规矩，过春节差不多从冬至开始准备年货。

冬至前后人们把家里打扫一番，把东西、家具打理一番、逛逛街买买衣服吃吃东西……

农历腊月二十三是传统的“小年。”这天，人们要把厨房打扫干净，杀鸡宰羊来祭“灶神。”人们穿着新衣服，精心打扮一番来迎接小年。

这一天，人们要吃饺子因为吃饺子代表象征着“喜庆团圆”和“吉祥如意”的意思，吃“拿钱爪”象征“财源滚滚”“招财进宝”之音，吃“鸡翅膀”说明女人很好、很强。吃“鲑鱼”象征“福气又安康”之意……

腊月二十五前后，人们又要打扫卫生，因为过年时“垃圾不能出门”不然会把好运、财气都扫没。二十五家家户户都忙碌起来，把家里布置得大气、热闹。

除夕之夜，我们的院子非常热闹。每个单元门口早就挂上了大红灯笼，贴上了红底金字的大幅对联；院子里摆满了各种鲜花；家家户户的门窗里都飘出 年 夜 饭 的香味；每家每户的门上也都贴上了春联，有的还挂上了大红灯笼；小孩子们穿着新衣服，在院子里尽情的追逐着、嬉闹着，有的在放着各种各样的礼花和鞭炮。

晚上，我们全家坐在一起，客厅的茶几上放着鲜花、水果、点心、瓜子和糖果。 我们全家团团圆圆。我们一边吃着丰盛的 年 夜 饭 ，一边等着看春节晚会。 这时还要说一些祝福语，姐姐也说了许多祝福爸爸、妈妈的话，表示了今后要更加努力学习的决心。

吃完 年 夜 饭 ，我们全家围在一起看春节晚会。爸爸早就把春节晚会的节目单从网上下载打印出来了。我们一边拿着节目单，一边看着电视。今年的春节晚会可精彩了。有歌曲、戏曲、杂技、舞蹈、小品、相声、魔术等40多个节目。尤其是赵本山的《心病》、黄宏的《足疗》、冯巩的《马路情歌》，逗得我们都笑痛了肚子。整个晚会的节目真是一年比一年精彩。

到了晚上十二点，晚会的气氛达到了高潮，门外也响起了此起彼伏的鞭炮声。我们全家都来到楼下的院子里看热闹。院子里的人可多了，大人小孩都在放着鞭炮。那噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，震得我和姐姐早就捂起了耳朵。一束束五颜六色的烟花直冲云天，然后爆炸、散开，真是五彩缤纷，好看极了。院子里到处都是欢声笑语。我和一群小朋友笑啊、跳啊，手掌心都拍红了也不知道。

于是，过年就是在人们嬉笑声中霹雳巴拉走来又霹雳巴拉大笑着走去。

中国有许多的传统节日，有春节、端午节、重阳节、元宵节等等，其中最传统，最隆重的节日就是春节了，关于春节还有一个传说呢。

在古时候，有两个怪物，一个叫“年”，一个叫“夕”，然后这两个怪物非常厉害，“年”一次可以吃掉十头牛，“夕”杀人不眨眼，村民们都非常害怕他们,有一个壮士就召集了许多村民，大家一起用箭射死了“夕”，于是人们便把这天定为“除夕”。第二天，壮士又带着村民们去找“年”。在战斗中，人们发现“年”不怕弓箭，但是却非常怕响声和红色的东西，壮士便让村民们敲锣打鼓，并拿出红色的东西来吓“年”，最后终于把“年”吓跑了。以后每当这个时候人们就要放爆竹来吓“年”。于是就慢慢演变成现在的过年了。

现在过年，吃主要节目之一。在除夕夜，全家都回来团聚，大家围在桌边一起吃年夜饭是最幸福的了。吃完年夜饭后还要看《春节联欢晚会》这都是必不可少的。

在我老家过年还有一个有趣的节目。院子里洒满了芝麻秸儿，我们在上面踩的咯吱咯吱响，这叫“踩岁”;闹得筋疲力尽，睡前给大人请安，这叫“辞岁”;大人们就要拿出钱给我们，这叫“压岁”。

到了晚上，就要放爆竹，“冲天炮”、“狗尾草”、“扇子”都是孩子们喜欢的，从除夕夜到天亮彻夜不绝。

好了，不多说了，我要去吃年夜饭了。

在我国的传统节日里面，我最喜欢的就是热闹的过年。过年是怎么来的呢

很久很久以前，有一个叫“年”的怪物，它经常在冬天欺负住在山里的人们，有一些人想把它除掉，也有一些人想把它赶走。有一天“年”又来了，许多人家里都遭到了袭击。只有几户挂着红布帘，门外生着火堆或敲敲打打闹翻天的人家没有受到伤害，因此山里的人们知道了“年”怕三样东西。当“年”再来的时候，人们用这三样东西把这个大怪物给赶走了，从此都不敢来伤害人们了。以后代代相传，便形成了过年热闹的习俗。

我喜欢过年，每年的过年我都要去花市。花市里人山人海可热闹了，店铺里的人在大声喊叫着卖各种各样的东西，有的卖艳丽多彩，芬芳迷人的鲜花，有的卖可口的爆米花和好喝的饮料，还有的卖各式各样的玩具。

近年随着我们国家的不断强大，各国的领导人也开始在过年的时候，发表讲话或文章向在本国的华人表示节日的祝贺，中国的过年在世界上越来越有影响力了。

Perhaps autumn is the most pleasant season of the year. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold. It is the best time for going on a trip.

I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life.

Children show you their true emotions. They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults. In their world, all real thoughts are presented. They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never understand what is animosity. They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other. Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and the world would be a better place to live in.

Today, the teacher took us to zhongshan park. Here, everyone was so happy! In the autumn of talking and laughing on the road, like a happy little sparrow.

We went to the zhongshan park, there are two stone lions see stone road on both sides, terrible squatting at the door.

Upward along the stone path, see stone road on both sides of the yellow and green leaves, the autumn wind blows, the falling pieces of leaves, like a butterfly dancing in. We quickly climb halfway up. See below flickering skyscrapers, the car on the road is the size of a pencil case. Walk to the top of the hill, Chen teacher gave us a good team, we all sat on the bench, bathed in the warm autumn sunshine, laughing, and eating their food, and you gave me to eat, I eat for you. Really is happy!

The teacher took a photograph, we took our laughing faces, leaving the autumn the best memories.

春节，这个喜气洋洋的日子，不光要迎接新的一年，还要把一年高高兴兴地送走。

这一天，人们开始放鞭炮，包饺子，门上还贴上了大红春联。正是家人团团圆圆的时刻。没有生气，没有埋怨。只有乐呵呵的孩子、爸爸妈妈和爷爷奶奶。

我们家一大早开始和面、剁馅儿，准备包饺子的东西。到了晚上，开始热闹起来了。全家人欢聚一堂，吃着热气腾腾的饺子，爸爸妈妈和爷爷奶奶聊着来年的打算，我和弟弟在摆弄着爸爸买给我们的烟花。电视上正播放着精彩的春晚，节目充满了欢乐、幸福的气氛，这无与伦比的，不光有饺子，还有我们小孩期盼已久的压岁钱。我和弟弟拿着爷爷奶奶给的压岁钱，笑得都合不拢嘴了。

我们一起出去，看着红红的灯笼和欣赏着绚丽无比的烟花，顿时觉得好温暖。

春节到了，我依旧奋战在作业的轰炸中，不知过了多久，终于可休息会了，拿起漫画，兴致溢然地看了起来，不经意间想起了件趣事。

记得上次春节过年时是在乡下过的，在乡下自然少不了做一件事，那就是钓鱼。准备好了鱼杆和鱼饵，还特地拿了一个大桶，决定钓一条大鱼，选了一条上好的蚯蚓，把长钱扔远远的，拿起带来的漫画书，看了起来……

不知过了多久，终于有鱼上钩了，手拿鱼杆，仿佛大力士一般准备将条大鱼一次性钓起来，收腹一气呵成，一瞬间又泄气了，不禁大喜，这么大一条鱼，费了九牛二虎之力，终于把这条鱼钓出了一点兴，便怎么这条鱼这么怪，看着都别扭，当我把鱼完全钓上来时，我愣住了，这不是鱼，而是一个球鞋，鱼勾正钗着鞋带，好不容易把那万恶的鞋子弄掉了，准备再接再力时，二叔叫住了我，并且说了一句让我哭笑不得的话，说：河里没有鱼。

回到家被家人一直笑，得知我钓一只鞋子后更是笑到肚子痛。

想到这里，自己也忍不住笑了，直怀念童年时，可以什么都不管，而现在却得奋战在学习前线。

又得写作业了，继续投入战斗，为未来奋力拼搏。

Music is part of our life, nearly everybody will listen to the music, no

matter what nation they are from. Music is divided into many types, such as the

blues, the country music, the rock and roll. Once blues belonged to the black

people, but as time went by, music is accepted by all classes. People always

share the hottest songs together, just like they can communicate. Once in the

foreign country, I had dinner in a restaurant, where there had the singers.

People enjoyed the music when they were eating. At this moment, it was music

that brought people together, and they share the same emotion.
