Why these piglets are so much fun
On the left, one piglet dances on one leg with its arms in the air. In the middle, the tallest piglet hops with its eyes squeezed shut, holding a confetti popper that bursts with colorful bits. On the right, a third piglet claps its hands with excitement. Each party hat has a different pattern – stripes, little shapes and dots – and all three have curly tails.

Why are pigs lucky in Germany?
In Germany, people love giving lucky pigs on New Year's Eve, often made of marzipan or as tiny figurines. Long ago, owning a pig meant you had plenty of food, so pigs became a sign of good fortune. That's why Germans say “Schwein gehabt” – literally “had a pig” – when someone gets lucky. Pigs are also very smart animals that learn quickly. They roll in mud because they can barely sweat, and the mud keeps them cool and protects their skin from the sun.
Ideas with the lucky piglets
Cut out the three piglets and glue them onto a folded card for a good luck New Year's greeting. In class, each child can color a piglet and add a wish for the new year.
