A dragon boat is a big canoe that can hold 20 people or more! The boat is super long and has a cool dragon head on the front. When the boat moves, people sit in pairs and paddle with special paddles to help it go faster.
Dragon boats are usually used for a race where two boats compete to see who can paddle the fastest across the finish line. There is also a drum on the boat that helps everyone paddle together and stay in rhythm.
The sport of dragon boating started a long time ago in China and was used for a special celebration called the Dragon Boat Festival. Now, it has become a popular sport all around the world!
