2022 Chinese Calendars 2022年日曆（中文）

If you are looking for Chinese calendars for the new year.. here are a few to choose from.

Bilingual Calendar (Free Printable)

If you are looking for monthly calendars in Chinese, I created these two versions that you can download (PDF format). Please note the Chinese numbers correspon to the Gregorian calendar (not the Lunar calendar) in these versions

These are print-friendly and quite versatile, with a space for you to write something each day, or make a mark (e.g. tick, stamp, sticker) to track your progress. Last year, we used it to track new words learnt with Sagebooks.

2022 Taiwanese calendar including Taiwan public holidays 台灣節日 and lunar solar terms 農曆節氣. Available in PDF, word and in zip formats

(I’ll add more as I find them. This year, there seems to be less kids calendars. I really liked this one from 2021 by Joy Chinese school. It even included questions such as ‘十月的第三個星期一是幾號? What is the date of the third Monday of October?’ which allows for opportunities for kids to practice their Chinese.
