New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, and Double Ninth Festival in September? The origin of each festival is a story with a long history, profound meaning and thought-provoking. Every traditional festival gives people spiritual strength of loving life, being polite, attaching importance to friendship and striving for progress.
Many foreign Chinese and overseas Chinese with outstanding sake are bent on returning to the land of China where he was born and raised, drinking water and thinking of the source in his hometown, eating rice and having meals, and celebrating the unique traditional festivals of the Chinese nation. The fundamental reason is that their parents and teachers buried China traditional culture in the deepest part of their memories and emotions when they were young, and they are constantly sprouting and growing, which can't be stopped by any external force. This is the unique charm of China traditional culture. Therefore, it is wise for educators to use the rich connotation of traditional festivals in China to serve the next generation. It plays an important educational role in promoting national art, inspiring national spirit, improving national consciousness and cultivating children with Chinese traditional culture and traditional virtues and harmonious development of body and mind.
First, kindergartens to carry out China traditional festival cultural education measures
1. The teaching objectives are clear and the content selection is reasonable.
That is to say, festivals need atmosphere, which is produced by the setting of the environment. What kind of environment is needed for any festival and atmosphere, and corresponding teaching objectives should be set so that children can get exercise or education through festival activities. For example, in the Spring Festival education, traditional ethnic foods and ethnic decorations should be prepared according to the preset goals, and some holiday-related environments should be created to set off the atmosphere. This environment is not a decoration, but an indispensable part of the real curriculum.
2. Formulate and implement the plan for implementing educational tasks.
In order to effectively carry out traditional festival culture education, on the basis of determining the teaching content, we have also formulated a set of activities implementation plan, so that teachers can clearly define their activities and responsibilities, carry out activities as planned and on time, and ensure that the activities achieve good results.
3. Do a good job of evaluation and reflection, and share success.
Teacher education evaluation is an important link in designing and implementing traditional festival activities. Evaluation reflects an educational thought and concept, and more is the feedback of teachers' professional level. Therefore, it is an indispensable and important process for kindergarten teachers to promote professional growth and improve teaching treatment. We can also sum up our experience to establish a better traditional festival.
Second, carry out traditional festival education to cultivate children's ability.
1. is conducive to the infiltration of patriotic feelings.
When we were educating the traditional festival "Dragon Boat Festival", although Qu Yuan was a poet two thousand years ago, he was far away from children's lives. However, we fully mobilized children's visual sense to participate in activities through modern educational means, such as arranging classes and making PPT related to festivals, which shortened the time when the story happened and made it easier for children to understand. Educate children through the Dragon Boat Festival: "When we grow up, should we be good children who love our motherland and study hard? Another example is the "Tomb-Sweeping Day" festival, where we make small flowers with children, and we can use videos to guide children to visit the Monument to Revolutionary Heroes. Tell children some revolutionary stories, let them feel the great idea of sacrificing their lives to protect the people of the country, infect their young hearts, and let them be determined to be a good boy who loves the motherland and hometown from an early age.
2. It is conducive to thinking, hands-on and cultivating operational ability.
In traditional festival activities, due to the needs of environment and games, we often make folk food and decorations with children, which requires us to think and make. On the Dragon Boat Festival, we let the children participate in making zongzi. The preparation work is complicated. After everything was ready, they began to make zongzi. The children listened attentively to the teacher explaining the steps and demonstrating the essentials. Interesting practice class, through children's hands-on operation, tries to "wrap zongzi" and share "eat zongzi", which deepens the understanding of the traditional festival of "Dragon Boat Festival" and inspires children to know about hometown food, love their hometown and appreciate the charm of Chinese culture.
3. Conducive to the cultivation of physical fitness and good quality.
Every traditional festival has more or less games. For example, the last activity of the Dragon Boat Festival is the Dragon Boat Race. If there is no real dragon boat, use headdress as the dragon head, use paper shell as the dragon body, and let the children squat inside. After unifying the slogan,
Hold a dragon boat race. In the whole activity, children are required to coordinate their movements with their hands and feet, hold their hands tightly and not stop their feet. Seven or eight children should help each other and unite to win. Any child who only cares about himself and ignores the collective will affect the team members. In order to get good grades, every child should strictly abide by discipline and try to coordinate the relationship with his peers. This is undoubtedly the best training for children's discipline concept, collective concept, self-control and ability to overcome difficulties.
Third, use parents' resources to carry out traditional festival culture education in kindergartens.
Family education is the source of life education. The Guide points out: "Family is an important partner of kindergarten. Based on the principles of respect, equality and cooperation, we should strive for parents' understanding, support and active participation, and actively support and help parents improve their educational ability. "It can be seen that family cooperation is of great and extraordinary significance to the all-round development of young children. Therefore, kindergartens should build a bridge with every parent to make festival culture education have good educational value. These family activities not only make adults and children feel the strong folk culture, but also greatly harmonize the feelings between parents and children, and enhance the social feelings of children who love the motherland, hometown and parents and elders.
Children unconsciously develop good quality in traditional festival activities, which is the uniqueness of traditional festival education. The revitalization and development of China depends on education, and the key to education must start with dolls and early childhood education. Mainly follow the principle of "making the past serve the present", strive to tap the essence of traditional festival culture in China, educate children in beauty with the unique traditional culture of the Chinese nation, nourish and purify their hearts, and become a new generation that loves the motherland, loves the nation and advocates traditional virtues and culture.
