Activity goals

1. Use body movements to express long and short sounds.

2. Feel the musical phrases.

Activity preparation

Teaching aid preparation: butterfly pictures, pictures of flowers of various colors, gauze, textbooks, wall charts.

Instrument preparation: triangle, wooden fish.

Music preparation: the song "Beautiful Butterfly".

Activity process

1. Use the picture card to tell the story "Caterpillar turns into butterfly".

1. The teacher shows a picture of a caterpillar to elicit a story. When the story comes to "Caterpillars coming out of the water", the teacher plays a long sound with the triangle. The story talks about 'when the caterpillar's head and wings stretch out', and the wooden fish plays short notes.

2. Guide children to play the role of caterpillars, with special emphasis on the body movements of ‘long sounds’ and ‘short sounds’. At the end of the story, the caterpillar turns into a butterfly and flies freely in the classroom.

2. Children’s initial experience with songs.

1. "Today this butterfly came here and invited the children to fly like her. How does the butterfly fly? Listen and see, this time the butterfly flies like this." The teacher performed while performing Sing songs.

2. "Let's listen to this song. He wants to take the children to suck nectar together." The teacher said the lyrics to the children together.

3. "A yellow butterfly came today to suck nectar. Look at how it flies. It has just changed from a caterpillar to a butterfly, so it flies relatively slowly. When he learns to fly, he will fly faster. We are going to suck nectar together. Look where I am going to suck nectar. I want to find a beautiful flower. "The teacher performed with a gauze scarf.

3. Children perform songs.

Instruct children to act as butterflies and fly to the flower card at the end of each phrase in time with the song and pause.

End: Little butterflies, let’s go outside to collect nectar together!

Reflection on the activity

I also used games throughout this activity. The children brought their mother’s gauze at home and performed the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. It is very cute and very involved. The children will listen to the sound and stretch out their arms, legs, and heads until their bodies break free from the "quilt" and turn into a beautiful butterfly. The children are so excited. Children feel the beauty of timbre and melody in relaxing games and have fun...
