Activity background
I saw the fable "The North Wind and the Sun" in a casual browsing, and I really want to share it with my children. So I thought about how to introduce it to the children. If I just take it as a story lesson, it doesn't make much sense. I have been looking for the breakthrough point of this activity. I think of a common situation among children around me: I always feel that some children are particularly excellent and lack confidence in themselves. So my goal is to help children build their self-confidence. With the goal, the design of the activity will be presented.

Activity process
1. Arouse children's interest and help them get familiar with the two characters in the story.
(1) shows the north wind and the sun.
Teacher: Who is it? (Beifeng) Yes, it's Grandpa Beifeng. Who can tell me what Grandpa Beifeng has? who is it? (Sun) What does Grandpa Sun have?
(2) Summary
Teacher: Grandpa Beifeng has the skills of Grandpa Beifeng and Grandpa Sun has the skills of Grandpa Sun, so which of them has the greater skills? (Stimulate children's interest in listening to stories)
2. Help children understand the story in the discussion.
(1) The first part of the story
Teacher: One day, Grandpa Beifeng and Grandpa Sun had a quarrel. They are arguing about who has the strongest skills, and everyone praises their skills. Suddenly, they saw a man on the road. He is wearing a coat outside, so they decide who can tell the man to take off his coat and win.
(2) Divide roles and find your own way.
Teacher: How about this? I asked you to play the north wind and the sun, and try to get this man to take off his coat yourself. Who wants to be grandpa Beifeng? Please sit here. Children who want to play Father Sun, please sit here.
2 children express their opinions.
Teacher: What method will you use to make this person undress?
(3) Continue to listen to stories
Teacher: What did Grandpa Beifeng and Grandpa Sun come up with? Listen carefully. Grandpa Sun asked Grandpa Beifeng to try his hand first. Grandpa Beifeng blew for a while and almost took off the man's coat. He was getting colder and colder, so he wrapped his coat tighter and tighter. Grandpa Beifeng tried his best and didn't take off his coat. Why doesn't Grandpa Beifeng take off that man's coat? Finally, he had to give up the hope of winning and let Grandfather Sun give it a try. Grandpa Sun devoted all his strength to that man, who was too hot and took off his coat. Hey, kid, who won? (Sun) Ok, let's praise him together! But grandpa Beifeng refused to give up. He said that he would take part in the competition again. (3) How to compare?
This time, let's get dressed first. The sun shines on that man. Not only was he naked, but he took off all his clothes. Grandpa, the north wind was blowing hard, and the man felt very cold, so he quickly put on his clothes. Tell me, who won this time? Let's praise him too!

Activity reflection
First, a relaxed environment Children want to say that the new "Outline" proposes to create a free and relaxed language communication environment for children. After the first choice of grouping, they found such an opportunity. Children in the same group communicate with each other and express their opinions because they hold the same views. In such an environment, everyone is working together for a purpose. Children want to talk, are willing to talk and dare to talk.
Secondly, during the active discussion, the children understood that during the whole activity, the children always maintained a strong interest and unconsciously understood the meaning of the fable. I don't want to emphasize that children learn to tell this story. I just want to use this as a carrier to let children know that things are different. A series of questions fully arouse children's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity in learning. Children are always interested, take the initiative to talk, discuss and tell fables. I'm not telling a fable so much as the result of their discussion.
It is natural to tell fables logically, which can arouse children's interest. In the activity, I deeply realized that teachers are no longer the "center", but the supporters and guides of children, and also the dispatchers and commanders of their experiences. After two competitions, there are still high voices calling for a second competition, and I once again see this sense of competition and the spark of group cooperation among children.
Third, in mutual encouragement, children understand that fables are well told, and of course they should be sublimated according to the actual situation of young children. In the process of educating children, I have always insisted on positive education, and encouragement is the best way for children to develop. So this link is designed to let them praise themselves loudly and tell their strengths. This is also a good opportunity to resonate with young children. After praising myself, I also asked them to tell me which children in the class they admire most. After knowing your own strengths, you should try to appreciate the strengths of others. The atmosphere is so harmonious that I don't want to pull them back from it. I asked a higher-level question, asking them which child in the class they admired the most and what advantages he felt. Of course, my question has a purpose. And the children's answers focused on one or two children, which just achieved my goal. I asked the two children who they admired the most and what his advantages were. In this way, everyone finally understood that each has its own advantages. The activity ended in a relaxed, active and interactive atmosphere for the children.
