First, folk sports games make children move.
Folk sports games are one of the important contents of children's health education. They come from life. They are not only extensive in content, diverse in forms and strong in local flavor, but also easy to learn and suitable for children's nature. They not only bring sports happiness to children, but also promote their healthy and harmonious development and cultivate their ability to cooperate with their peers.
Folk sports games are divided into equipment category and unarmed category in kindergarten curriculum. Develop children's balance, agility and strength by walking, climbing, jumping and throwing. Equipment games include stilts, tail pulling, handkerchief throwing, siege, sedan chair, rubber band jumping and so on. Unarmed games include eagles catching chickens, mice going to lampstands, open sesame, shooting wild ducks, fighting cocks and grabbing corners. In outdoor activities, choose some folk games that have a large amount of exercise and develop children's big muscle movements, and adopt a combination of collective and decentralized activities. In group activities, we mainly play sports equipment, sports toys and games, such as walking on stilts, skipping rope, rolling hoop and shaking diabolo. When dispersing activities, let children freely find game partners according to their own wishes, and choose their own toys, games or game rules, such as carrying sedan chairs, weaving flower baskets, occupying four corners, etc.
For example, the most common way to skip grids is to jump through all the grids one by one according to the numbers in the grids. When children are familiar with the gameplay, they can choose digital jump, single jump or double jump, one-legged jump or two-legged jump according to the requirements of their game partners. On this basis, the game can be upgraded again. Select a series of rings with caps and put them in the grid. Before jumping into the grid, kick the hat into the next grid and jump over. If the hat kicks out of the grid, they are out. By changing the gameplay, it can adapt to the physical development needs of children of different ages.
Second, folk entertainment games teach children to obey the rules.
Folk entertainment games are rich in regional culture and interesting, which can not only enrich children's emotional experience, but also cultivate children's awareness of rules in the game, so that children can learn to control their own behavior and consciously abide by the rules of the game in the process of participation.
We have screened entertainment games that are suitable for children's emotional experience and sense of rules, such as capping, pointing tables, sawing, beating barley, pushing and grinding, delivering parcels, piling steamed bread, striking while the iron is hot, making card handles, Woodenhead, making rings, beating tofu, taking chubby babies to Chengdu and so on. For example, in the folk game "Point Soldiers and Point Generals", two young children are generals, and the rest stand in a row as soldiers. The general reads the children's song "Point soldiers and point generals, point soldiers and point generals, who refers to …" from left to right. Every time he reads a word, he points to a child. When he read the "general" of "who is my soldier and crab", he decided to choose this young child as the general's team member. The children joined the queue with great expectation. In the process of "soldiers" and "generals" again and again, everyone gradually learned to queue up before and after, and developed a good habit of queuing.
Third, encourage children to explore independently in folk puzzle games.
Folk educational games have a long history and rich resources, which are helpful to develop children's abilities of perception, observation, memory, thinking, imagination and operation. In order to inherit and develop the educational value of folk puzzle games, we have developed and collected a large number of folk puzzle games, such as picking sticks, grasping seeds, turning flowers and ropes, gobang, checkers, puzzles, arranging zodiac signs, playing frogs and so on.
In order to increase the interest of the game, the teacher adapted the play of the puzzle game. For example, the original stick-picking game is a group of 2-3 people, which is sorted by guessing boxing or other means. At the beginning of the game, the first child put the popsicle stick in his hand, then sprinkled it on the table, holding another stick in his hand to pick the stick on the table, but he could not touch the other stick. If he touches it, he loses. The two men took turns playing games until they picked up the stick on the table. Count who picks the most, and the most wins. After the children became familiar with the game, the teacher changed the way of the game. Play 1: add a red stick, and the one who picks the red stick represents five ordinary sticks. The person who finally picks more sticks wins; Play 2: add a yellow stick. The person who picks the yellow stick can stir it once, and finally the one who picks more wins.
Fourth, folk manual games let children learn to create.
China is an ancient civilization with a long history and rich cultural heritage. Folk handicraft is a wonderful work of China folk culture. Handicraft arts include paper-cutting, cloth art, embroidery, rubbings, facial makeup, clay sculpture, facial makeup, shadow play, kites, rattan and so on. Many folk crafts have been declared as intangible cultural heritage. However, with the changes of the times and the development of science and technology, although there are still some handicrafts circulating, fewer and fewer people are engaged in them. In order to better inherit these handicrafts, we have incorporated some folk handicrafts into the kindergarten game curriculum.
In the folk manual games, the representative folk manual games, such as paper-cutting, clay sculpture, weaving and origami, are selected, and the contents, materials and playing methods are innovated to make them conform to the characteristics of the times and children's age. We create a good game environment for children in folk manual games, provide rich game materials and tools, let children actively participate in folk manual production, promote the development of hand muscles and hand-eye coordination in games such as paper-cutting, clay sculpture and origami, and enhance children's aesthetic feeling, aesthetic interest, aesthetic expression and aesthetic creativity.
Fifth, folk festival games let children build cultural self-confidence.
China traditional festivals are an important part of China's long history and culture, and an important form to record the colorful social and cultural life of the Chinese nation. In the investigation of traditional festivals in China, it is found that children all know that the eating habits of Mid-Autumn Festival are appreciating the moon and eating moon cakes. When asked why children enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes, only 6.7% people know that it represents reunion, 53.3% people don't know why, and 30% people think it's because of festivals. It can be seen that children feel the cultural atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival mainly through their daily eating habits, and have a preliminary perception and understanding of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the cultural connotation of the Mid-Autumn Festival is still unclear. Therefore, it is of great significance to infiltrate folk festival games into kindergarten curriculum.
According to the characteristics of children's age, screening holiday activities and games suitable for children aged 3-6. In the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other major traditional festivals, help children understand the origin and customs of traditional festivals in China, and understand the special significance of various festivals. For example, in the Spring Festival, solve riddles on the lanterns, Sugar-Coated Berry and Lantern Festival, flying kites and shooting willows in Tomb-Sweeping Day, catching zongzi and dragon tails in the Dragon Boat Festival, piling moon cakes and dragging stones in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and so on. Children can experience and understand the customs and culture of traditional festivals in China through games. In the game of "stacking moon cakes", the children read the children's song "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming on August 15th, and round moon cakes are coming. Let's stack them together and taste the delicious moon cakes; The moon cakes are piled high, the moon cakes are piled well, delicious and sweet, and everyone laughs when eating. " . Make a fist with your right hand and show your thumb. After the first person reaches out, the second person holds the first person's thumb, and the third person holds the second person's thumb. When reading Laughter, the children applauded each other happily. During the game, children learned about the relationship between the Mid-Autumn Festival and moon cakes by singing nursery rhymes, learned about the festival's food culture, experienced the festive atmosphere, and initially established their recognition and confidence in China's traditional festival culture.
Compared with today's dazzling electronic games, mobile games and entertainment facilities, simple and traditional folk games have become an effective way for children to increase their knowledge, develop their intelligence and strengthen their physique through the transformation of teachers' wisdom, which has brought them great happiness and left them unforgettable childhood memories.
