In the small class theme "Spring is So Beautiful", there is a musical activity "Spring". The goal is to let children feel the beauty of spring, and on the basis of learning the songs, they can use their favorite actions according to the lyrics. Performance. Considering that in the past, children’s music classes always started with enthusiasm and soon lost patience. No matter what method the teacher used, he could not focus the attention of all the children, so I thought whether I should be bolder and full of temptation (the children The most popular large toy slide, sand pool, etc.) outside the activity room, go to the lawn full of spring flavor to complete the teaching of this activity? Doesn't this theme say that "nature" is the most magical teacher?
The weather is really nice! When the class started, I said to the children excitedly: "Today, Father-in-law Sun wants to see how the children are doing in class, but Father-in-law Sun can't come in (turning into a state of helplessness)?" The children shouted: "Then let's go Let’s go outside!” After I came outside and said hello to Father Sun, I arranged for the children to sit in a shady place on the lawn. I first purposefully guided the children to look at the brightly blooming winter jasmine flowers, rose flowers, etc., and then further introduced: I stretched out comfortably and applied the first line of the song lyrics "The weather is so good in spring", and the children naturally They imitated my actions and said in unison, "The weather is so nice in spring." Then I pointed at the flowers not far away with playful movements, bringing out the second line of the song, "The flowers are all blooming." Then, the lyrics of the entire song were derived with the help of children's existing experience and understanding of spring and previous related teaching. (During the process, I asked how the butterfly came, and the child quickly responded that it was flying. When I asked how the bee buzzed, the clever child immediately said that the bee was buzzing. "The little white rabbit jumped again and again." More Don’t worry that they won’t be able to say it, some are already eager to try it!) When the time came, I said to the children: "Spring is so nice. The teacher made a nice song out of what the children just said." After I sang the song in its entirety, I asked, "What did you hear in the song?" "What?" The children responded enthusiastically: "Teacher, I heard butterflies" and "I heard bees." Even Huan Huan, who usually only causes trouble and chaos in class, said happily: "Teacher, I also heard "When we reach the willow branch", when I sang it for the second time, I asked the children to sing it softly together at a very slow speed, and at the same time, I asked the children to do simple movements with me. Finally, I took out the compact Walkman and played the audio tape of the song "Spring", and led the children to sing and dance around the lawn, learning how butterflies fly, and how bunny hops...,,,,,, unknowingly, the goal of the activity was It was done while I was rapping and dancing with the kids.
As far as this activity is concerned, I briefly thought about it as follows:
(1) The sun shows its magic and mobilizes children's enthusiasm
The introduction of the activity "The sun "My father-in-law is coming to see how the children are doing in class" aroused strong interest among the children and made them full of expectations for this activity. Because of Father-in-law Sun's attention, the children were highly motivated. They hoped that Father-in-law would see them doing well in class. In addition, through the teacher's guidance and questions, the children were delighted to see that the original words in the song The content turns out to be things we usually see, and they are around us, so the enthusiasm for activities is even higher. This alone is not the effect that an ordinary music class can achieve. The children really became the active participants in the activity. The teacher just sorted out what the children said and then compiled it into a complete song, giving the children a sense of accomplishment.
(2) The creation of a good environment allows children to "learn through play"
The "Outline" not only emphasizes that "we must guide children to contact the surrounding environment and the beautiful people in life, Things, objects", and also emphasizes the need to "provide opportunities for free expression and encourage children to boldly express their emotions, understanding and imagination through different art forms." From beginning to end, this activity is exposed to the natural environment of blue sky, white clouds, red flowers and green grass, and the warm sunshine, allowing the children to calm down in comfort and harmony. Not only do they feel the beauty, but they can also completely relax their body and mind. Teachers have also changed their previous identities as educators, appearing in front of children as companions, sometimes using mysterious voices, sometimes using cheerful voices to attract children. Before singing a complete song, children are given an opportunity to express themselves freely, so that they can speak and sing at the same time without any worries, as if they are playing without worrying that they will say or sing incorrectly.
Without fear of making mistakes, the children opened their voices and sang enthusiastically and happily.
(3) A small walkman has a big impact
Don’t underestimate the wonderful effect of the walkman in this activity. In the past, music teaching was always inseparable from the tape recorder, and every time the recording was played for the third or even second time, the children's attention level had reached the limit, so the teacher could no longer control the atmosphere of the scene - it was noisy and noisy. . The Walkman is relatively new to them, and new things can always arouse children's strong interest. After the recording was played over and over again, everyone asked: "Teacher, I still want to listen, I still want to listen!",,,,,,,
However, it is still a problem for children in small classes to carry out activities outdoors. It is certainly difficult. Just the spaciousness of the venue can make children overly excited, not to mention the fact that there are temptations, so the phenomenon of free movement and laxity still exists, but I think this is also a normal phenomenon. After all, most of the children were able to follow the teacher's rhythm from beginning to end and completed the teaching goals very well, so I personally think this activity was quite successful. Because, the children not only opened their singing voices, but also opened their hearts; the children not only sang "Spring", but also had beautiful thoughts about spring!
