With the continuous development of quality education, the subject of "communication" has attracted more and more attention. Among the education targets in kindergartens, the vast majority of children are only children. They are at the core of the family. Children have become the "sun" and "moon". Young parents dote on them in every possible way, making some children self-centered. , Today’s only children are eloquent at home, but outside they are timid, withdrawn, and have significantly weaker communication skills. They cannot get along with their peers, lack basic communication skills, and find it difficult to adapt to the needs of today's times.

After children enter kindergarten, they cannot adapt to kindergarten life. Some children are indifferent to teachers and new partners, some are unwilling to participate in group activities, and some do not take the initiative to talk or communicate with teachers and peers all day long.

5. Active communication is the soul of role-playing games. Children are the masters of the game. The development of the plot, the selection of themes, the production of toy materials, the process and results of the game are all controlled and decided by the children themselves. It truly reflects the active communication of young children.

(2) Has unique communication behavior characteristics

1. Communication.

The process of role play can also be said to be the process of information communication and dissemination. The so-called communication is to convey opinions and express feelings through language, gestures, expressions, etc.

In role play, young children often use different languages ??to interact with the people around them. For example: visiting a food processing factory involves the transmission of language and language.

2. Comply.

Compliance is required in many game venues, and role games are no exception. For example, in the game "Garment Factory", if a "worker" wants to leave his "post", he must get the consent of the "team leader" or "factory director", otherwise he will have to stick to his "post". This is compliance.

3. Collaboration and competition.

Collaborative behavior and competitive behavior in communication are frequently reflected in young children’s role games. Today’s young children are extremely “self-centered” and are not easy to collaborate. However, cooperative play plays an important role in young children’s development. gradually increased. In children's games, photographers, painters, salespersons, makeup artists, etc. all require children to cooperate in a friendly manner, which is an important part of helping children establish good interpersonal relationships. In contrast, competitive behavior in young children should be understood from the perspective of cultivating mature and healthy personality. Competition has its positive side, but also its negative side should be seen. In role games, if some children are particularly strong and express themselves, it may affect the smooth progress of the game.

3. How to cultivate children’s communication skills in role games

The "Kindergarten Education Guidance Outline (Trial)" states that "Kindergarten education should fully respect the experience and experience of children as learning subjects. experience, respect the laws of their physical and mental development and learning characteristics, use games as basic activities, and guide them to develop in positive interactions with the environment." According to the spirit of the "Kindergarten Education Guidance Outline (Trial)" and according to the characteristics of role-playing games and interpersonal relationships. Characteristics of relational communication behaviors, and seeking effective ways to benefit children’s communication abilities.

1. Experience in enriching children’s life knowledge.

Broadening horizons is the basis for developing role play and cultivating communication skills. Role play is a reflection of young children’s real life. If the content of children's lives is enriched, the content of the games will be enriched and novel. The content of children's lives will be continuously enriched in daily activities, the children's lives will be organized purposefully and planned, and the children will often be guided to observe the social life around them. For example, take children out to play and visit, and consciously guide children to observe how traffic police direct, talk about the role of traffic lights, talk about how to shop in supermarkets, conduct financial education on protecting the public, etc., requiring children to observe carefully, Enrich perceptual knowledge. Parents are also asked to cooperate in enriching the life experience of their children. For example, the child's mother is a supermarket salesperson, and the child is familiar with supermarket work. He plays the role of a supermarket salesperson in the role-playing game, placing things, introducing products, and doing so in an orderly manner. The supermarket work is in order. Under his leadership, other supermarket salesmen also Well done to continuing to develop young children's communication skills.

2. Create a harmonious character game environment.

Toys and game materials are the material pillars of role play. Children often make associations inspired by toy items and materials to arouse their desire to play. Toy materials affect the content of the game to a certain extent and affect the children in the game. Therefore, it is very necessary to create a relaxed and harmonious role-playing environment for young children. We have created a role play area for young children and provided a large number of toys. During the game, we also encouraged children to make various toys themselves. This played an important role in the creation of the game and provided material conditions for children to interact with each other.

3. Create conditions for children to interact with each other.

Role games are mainly based on children, and are conditioned on children's autonomy and voluntariness, rather than following the teacher's wishes. Therefore, in games, teachers should give children sufficient freedom, create a relaxed game environment for children, encourage children to choose game content themselves, play game roles, and enrich the plot of the game, which means giving children a time to interact freely and communicate boldly. and space. In role games, according to the age characteristics of children, develop game themes that children like to see and hear, and promote children to interact actively, proactively, and correctly, such as: Doll's House, KFC, Telephone Booth and other games. Through active interactions between characters and connections between games, Enable children to enhance understanding and strengthen communication. During the game, children are enthusiastic and interested, which promotes children's communication and develops their communication skills.

Children’s communication skills can only be exercised in a good environment and more communication practices.

For example, children who have just entered kindergarten often have fear, uneasiness, and anxiety about strange environments and strange people, and are manifested as withdrawn, timid, and unsociable. In response to the above situation, teachers provide children with an environment and opportunities for interaction to eliminate their uneasiness and adapt to kindergarten life as soon as possible. They invite children from the big class to the small class to perform programs, tell stories, make friends, and play games with them. In interacting with older brothers and sisters, children can gradually relieve their loneliness and fear, so that children in small classes can feel friendship and joy, and at the same time, learn to communicate. In this way, children in older classes also understand that they must have a sense of responsibility and mutual help in interactions. Games and activities are the best opportunities for children to interact and learn communication skills. In the day-to-day activities in kindergarten, teachers create sufficient conditions for children and provide sufficient time and space for game activities. Through role games, children can learn communication skills. You must dare to speak and love to speak, eliminate shyness and timidity, and overcome willful and domineering personalities. For example, children can learn different ways of communication through role games. Teachers should consciously guide children during games to help them handle various relationships and cultivate children's group awareness and cooperative spirit.

4. Teach young children social interaction skills.

Children need to interact. Even an introverted and lonely child needs to interact and is willing to interact. However, just having a good desire to interact may not necessarily make the interaction successful. This involves issues related to communication skills. Young children's social interactions include interactions between young children and their peers and interactions between young children and adults. It is easier for young children to interact with adults, and adults should teach young children the skills to interact with their peers. First of all, teach children to talk to their peers in a friendly manner, with a gentle tone of conversation, and to listen patiently to other people's conversations; secondly, let children pay more attention to the strengths of others and learn from their strengths instead of always seeing other people's shortcomings. Make fun of others with their shortcomings; thirdly, understand the interests and hobbies of your peers, and be able to obey other people's interests but not blindly follow others. For example, if several children play together, educate the children to discuss together what games to play and how to play them. During the game, they can actively make suggestions, respect other people's opinions, and not force others to accept or obey their own opinions; finally, they should Teach young children to share toys with their peers, to play with good toys together, to interact with others on an equal footing, and to cooperate happily with peers.

In role games, once the theme is established, teachers should educate children on certain behavioral norms so that children understand what should and should not be done in interactions with peers. Teachers use emotions to change children's bad behaviors and attitudes in games. Through role plots, children can experience the good behaviors of enthusiasm, friendship, courtesy, sincere communication, and caring for public property, and correct bad behaviors. For example, "Please wait a moment" and "Welcome to visit next time" in a snack shop, "Please come in, what do you want to buy" and "Do you want to try it" in a clothing store, products are sold in a snack shop, and mothers and children in dolls' homes go to Shopping at the supermarket, getting a haircut at the barber shop, buying flowers at the flower shop, etc. Stimulate children's enthusiasm through games and improve children's communication skills.

5. Improve children’s ability to socialize.

When children in small classes first start playing, they are always alone around a bunch of toys, playing with and operating them alone, and rarely interact with each other. Teachers encourage children with strong abilities to play the main role in the game, guide them to interact with other characters, work together to complete game tasks, and enrich the game plot. In middle and large classes, with the development and needs of children's games, they are not only required to play with their peers, but also are encouraged to negotiate and plan the plot of the game before playing. Children find ways to come up with ideas and adopt other people's suggestions to enrich and develop the game plot, thereby experiencing the joy of cooperation. If the business in the Wawazhao shopping mall is not good, the teacher said: "You can sell it." After being reminded by the teacher, the manager said based on previous experience: "You look after the store, and I will deliver the goods." After that, he took the initiative to deliver the goods to the taxi. Through the game, the children also learned to play joint games during the negotiation process and were able to cooperate together. The content and scope of the exchanges expanded. Not only could they interact with people on the same theme, but they could also fully connect with the characters of each theme. , communicate. Feel the joy of collective games and promote the development of the game plot.

With this initial experience, children can also transfer this experience to other game activities to make their activities proceed smoothly.

For example, joining together to do puzzles, asking each other riddles, and having the same tool or toy together... In this way, children can avoid the bad behavior of children going their own way, being self-centered, and not knowing how to cooperate with others. Develop good habits of humbly learning from others, being able to adopt other people's suggestions, and respecting other people's opinions, so as to further improve social communication skills.

6. Guide children to resolve conflicts in communication.

"Self-centered" children often exhibit bossy, willful, aggressive or bad behaviors such as beating and scolding their peers in their interactions. Teachers should take effective measures to influence them by using role models, using rewards and praises, etc. Methods to motivate them, use criticism and education to restrain them, help them overcome shortcomings and strive for progress.

Resolving conflicts in role interactions is often difficult. It requires both parties to the conflict to negotiate and come up with appropriate solutions. This is also an important part of young children learning to communicate. Therefore, teachers give children the opportunity to resolve conflicts so that they can learn the skills to interact with others. For example, in the game, the waiter at the snack shop refused to let the mother of the doll family come to the snack shop because the mother had no savings, but the mother was hungry because her child really needed to eat, so the two young children There was a quarrel, and everyone felt that they were justified. At this time, the teacher intervened in a timely manner and said to the mother of the doll family: "You should discuss it carefully with others and tell them that your child is sick and hungry. They will definitely let you eat first." This mother He walked over and said, "Please! Our child is sick and hungry. I really don't have any money. If he doesn't eat, he will definitely starve. It will be detrimental to his recovery. I am very worried. Can you let us eat first, and I will pay it back when I have money?" The waiter at the dim sum shop thought for a while and said, "Okay! Just order what you need to eat, and we will give it to you first, and wait until you have it. You’ll pay her back when you’ve got the money, but you have to remember to pay her back.” During this negotiation process, the children experienced their mother’s concern for their children, so they lent her the money. Help others solve difficulties, improve the quality of communication, and learn to resolve conflicts in communication.

Children still have many contradictions in role interactions. Role relationships in games are the reproduction of social relationships. In game interactions, you must adjust your own behavior, be humble, cooperate, and negotiate with your peers in order to complete the game tasks together, enrich the game plot, form the bad habits of trusting others, respecting others, overcoming willfulness, and thinking about yourself everywhere, and coordinate Improve your relationship with your peers and improve your ability to communicate.

In short, the cultivation of communication skills in role games is very consistent with the age characteristics of young children. Role games are of great significance to the cultivation of children's social communication skills. It can enrich the content of children's communication. , harmonize the relationship between children, and gradually learn to abide by the rules, learn to be humble and cooperative. As Makarenko said: "Future activists are first cultivated in games." It is ideal and very feasible to start cultivating their communication skills in early childhood, and it is beneficial to children throughout their lives. . Provide good communication conditions and opportunities for children, so that children can express themselves and discover themselves in the free and relaxed atmosphere of role games, so as to express their interests and hobbies to their heart's content, gradually making children's interactions more natural and their abilities effectively improved. How to cultivate children's communication skills in role games 2

1. Choose an appropriate theme according to the age characteristics of children to give them the possibility of communication.

1. Choose a theme from things that are familiar to children. For example, in "Baby's House" and "Kindergarten", children can only have something to say and things to do in an environment they are familiar with, and only then can they have the passion for games. Smilanski's (1969) research shows that the cycle of enriching experience-role play-enriching experience again-replay can effectively improve young children's role level.

2. Choose themes from children’s favorite characters, such as “driver”, “policeman”, and “barber”. Children are very willing to imitate the characters they like. They also know relatively more about the behaviors and responsibilities of these characters, which can easily arouse excitement among children.

3. Choose themes based on children’s curiosity about new things, such as “Supermarket” and “Library”.

Young children are eager to understand some social behaviors of adults and want to try to learn. Teachers should promptly seize the children's points of interest and use this as an opportunity to provide children with opportunities to enrich their life experience and experience some basic aspects of people's social life during the game. principles, and initially learn the correct way of communication.

2. Provide children with materials at different levels to fully stimulate their imagination and allow children to interact with media.

Game materials are the material basis for children’s imagination, which indirectly reflects the influence of teachers. Teachers can provide children with rich materials through the following ways, reflect the creativity of the materials, and provide good mediators for the inevitability of children's communication.

1. A complete set of plastic kitchenware, medical equipment, hairdressing tools and other finished toys. The finished toys purchased are exquisitely made and lifelike, and are very attractive to children in small classes. Playing these role-playing games will inevitably require cooperation and mutual coordination between children in order to function properly.

2. Replace things with things and make clever use of waste materials. There are a lot of waste materials in daily life. Teachers should be a thoughtful person to collect them and place them in the activity area. Then through the children's imagination, they can be put to other uses and enrich the game content. For example, a paper milk carton can be used as a tea cup in the "Doll's House"; it can be used as a puppy's kennel in the "Zoo"; it can be used as a magic box in the "Little Theater". Children imitate and learn from each other, which greatly stimulates the development of children's imagination and provides excellent topics for children's communication.

3. Children participate in the production and boldly try new combinations of game materials. When children play with toys made by themselves, their emotions will be particularly high, and the game effect will naturally be good. By combining materials with widely different properties (such as the combination of tableware, sand, and water), children's imagination space increases, the complexity and interest of the game increase, and mutual cooperation and communication also increase accordingly.

3. Teachers provide flexible and diverse guidance during the game to improve children's communication level in a targeted manner.

How to guide children to carry out games independently, so that children can fully express themselves, communicate freely, collaborate and innovate, so that their interests and needs can be satisfied, and social communication skills can be cultivated, thus promoting the harmonious development of children's body and mind. Teachers' Mentoring is key.

1. For children who have certain organizational skills and motivation, they can be allowed to play the main role in the game, participate in assigning roles and resolving conflicts that arise during the game, and regulate and regulate other children. The role of demonstration.

2. For children with poor abilities and introverted personalities, teachers can put them into a group with people with strong abilities so that they can interact with each other and increase their interest in games. At the same time, teachers can encourage such children to build up their confidence. Be the master of the game and participate in its improvement.

3. For children who are prone to disputes or conflicts with others and who have the desire to communicate but lack communication skills, we mainly teach them communication strategies to help them master certain communication skills, learn to integrate into group life, and The best place to be friendly to others.

4. Pay attention to the evaluation activities after the game and guide children to share the joy and experience of success.

When the game comes to an end, the teacher can organize all the children to sit together and give them the opportunity to talk and fully express their wishes to better tap the rich educational potential contained in the game. , to achieve the development of young children.

1. Develop language expression and retelling abilities. Language is a tool for human communication. After children play a role game, they must have accumulated a lot of topics for conversation. At this time, teachers use words to encourage free speech and questions. The method helps them recall, describe and express the process of what they did, which not only encourages them to speak boldly in front of people, but also develops their expressive retelling ability. At the same time, children can happily share the emotional experience brought by the game.

2. Help children learn from each other. ***Grow together. Children have their own ways of playing games. They all have their own different ways of playing in the game. After the game, they introduce their own exploration experience, providing other children with the opportunity to share and learn from other people's experiences. With the interaction of young children, the game will definitely become more and more vivid. The above is my experience in practice since the project was launched.

With the continuous enrichment and accumulation of experience, I believe that the children in our class will definitely improve greatly in their communication and cooperation strategies and skills, and everyone can become a lively, generous, enthusiastic and confident modern child.
