1. Overview of the game
"Pull the Carrot" is a story that combines fun and performance. It is ancient yet fresh, suitable for children aged 3 to 4 years old. The plot of the story is very simple: My husband planted a big radish and couldn't pull it out by himself. As a result, everyone came to help one after another and finally pulled up the radish. The language of the story is concise and colloquial, and the characters appearing are all familiar to young children, so it is very suitable for small class children to perform. The "Pull the Carrot" game allows young children to understand that some things cannot be accomplished by one person's efforts alone. Only the cooperation of everyone can achieve something that cannot be accomplished by one person. Therefore, this children's drama performance can help young children understand: a person should work hard to master the skills of life, like the old man, who grows bigger radishes than others, but also get along well with other people, and when encountering difficulties, like " Just like "pulling out carrots", you can help one by one, work hard in one place, and overcome difficulties to achieve success.

4. Game tips
1. In the game, the husband’s anxiety after trying to pull out the carrot but not being able to pull it out, his eagerness for help and the enthusiasm of the helper, his joy after pulling out the carrot, etc. Emotional expression is the focus of performance. During the rehearsal, the props were too light and the children could easily pull them out without exerting any force. They were always unable to show the emotional transition from hardship to success and joy. To solve this problem, the teacher increased the weight of the props and demonstrated the performance in person. Explain, let the children experience the emotional changes first-hand, and at the same time, the teacher will provide timely correction and guidance during the children's attempts, so that the children will gradually show that the husband is alone in pulling out the carrots and cannot pull out the branches, and one by one asks friends to help (happy) The emotion of everyone working together to pull up the carrot (clapping, jumping, cheering), and paying attention to the mutual cooperation between the characters make the plot more vivid and interesting.
2. The game teaches children the truth of unity and friendship, and that there is strength in numbers, but it is difficult for children to persist in cooperating and helping each other in daily life. Teachers can organize children to discuss after the performance: "What can we do when others encounter difficulties?" "How should we play with children?"... Subtly help children develop the good qualities of unity, friendship and mutual help. .
3. During the rehearsal, the teacher solves the children's problems in the performance through demonstration. For example, children in small classes lack stage awareness and tend to perform with their backs to the audience. After they come on stage, they always stare at the "carrot" behind them while talking and doing actions, or they just look around without knowing where to look. Therefore, the teacher helps the children clearly understand the positioning of the role through multiple demonstration performances.
4. Based on the interests of children, we have carried out a series of activities: ① Math activity "Various Carrots" to improve the ability of hand and mouth to count points in unison. ②Scientific activities "Planting Radish" and "The Radish Harvest" guide children to understand the growth process of radishes. ③The sports activity "Little Rabbit Pulling Carrots" improves the ability to jump with both feet together. ④The art activity "Carrot Changing" guides children to learn to draw radishes of different shapes.
5. Game Story
Protagonist’s Storm
The rehearsal began, and I said to the children: "Children, we have all learned the story. What follows? Let’s perform in different roles. Who wants to be the big carrot?…’Wow…” Many pairs of little hands were raised. "Who will be the little carrot?" "Wow..." Many pairs of little hands were raised. I asked, "Who will be my father-in-law?" Everyone lowered their heads, but no one answered.
"Who will be the old lady?" Still no one answered, so I asked about the candidates for the little girl, the little spotted dog, the little spotted cat, and the little mouse. The children were all scrambling to choose the roles. I asked them curiously: "Why don't you want to be the father-in-law or the old woman?" The children all replied: "The father-in-law is old and his clothes are too old and doesn't look good, so we don't want to act; the old woman needs to step on her feet when walking, it's too tiring." , we don’t want to act either.”
It is a child’s nature to like beautiful clothes, headwear, and all bright things. However, in order to meet the needs of the plot, the props prepared for the old man and the old woman are relatively shabby. , no wonder the children lost interest in performing. When the unclaimed old man character appeared, I immediately found a makeup box and dressed myself up like my husband. I drew thick wrinkles on my forehead, dark eye shadow on the corners of my eyes, and a white beard on my mouth. . Seeing my weird look, the children screamed and shouted: "Teacher, I will play the role of the husband. I also need to put on makeup and a beard..." The dressing up and demonstration performances greatly improved the children's enthusiasm. It also solves the difficulty of having no one play the role.
Striving to be a civilized little audience
When I first started rehearsing, I would divide the children into groups and ask them to act as actors and audiences. However, during the performance, the young actors performed enthusiastically, and the audience watched As they watched, they began to talk: "I will be the father-in-law." "I will be the little flower dog." "I will be the little mouse."... Many children were vying to express their opinions, and their voices became louder and louder! The young actors had to stop, and the teacher also intervened in the game: "It's so noisy? How do the actors perform? What should the audience do after the actors perform?" The young audience stopped talking, and the young actors started to perform again.
Because the story deeply attracted the children, their enthusiasm for the performance was extremely high. The young actors who performed on stage were basically dedicated and attentive, but although the young audience in the audience were also attracted by their peers' performances, their sense of discipline was weak, which even affected normal rehearsals and performances. In this regard, teachers can organize children to discuss "the importance of respecting others and mutual respect, emphasizing the importance of being a civilized small audience, so as to encourage children to better watch the performance.
