What Is the Dragon Dance Activity?

In this activity, teams work together to build and operate a colorful dragon costume made of fabric and lightweight materials like cardboard. Each participant takes a role under the dragon—whether at the head, middle, or tail—and the group must move in perfect synchronization to bring the dragon to life.

The goal is to guide the dragon along a path or routine with smooth, rhythmic motions. Success depends on teamwork, timing, and trust, as the entire team must move as one.
