You are going to make an origami ema plaque 折り紙の絵馬, with an origami mouse 折り紙の鼠 on it and some wish that you’ll write for the year 2020.

The Year of the Metal Rat 2020 will be a year of new beginnings! ... According to the Chinese zodiac, the Chinese New Year in 2020 starts on Saturday, January 25th and ends on February 11th, 2021. ... The Metal Rat Year is going to be a strong, prosperous, and lucky year for all

Origami mouse video shows you can put the model on an origami ema  絵馬 . Directions for the 絵馬 are on a separate video. If you students can make both, you can write your wishes on the 絵馬 as many people do at a shrine or temple. We have glue to attach the mouse to the 絵馬, plus a larger-size paper (6” square) for the 絵馬 and smaller paper (3” square) for the mouse.

 (Or, you can make an origami Daruma instead, if you prefer.   https://youtu.be/qcgNvs4QSMY
