Creativity, especially the use of children's favorite artistic activities, such as music, painting, stories and other activities to better inspire children, so that they are active in thinking, imaginative and creative.
First, create a good atmosphere and encourage children to create boldly.
Music is the source of children's happiness, and children can turn it into their own creativity. Therefore, our teachers should be good at discovering children's creative factors, fully affirm children's creative activities bit by bit, seize the opportunity, guide them in time and fully develop children's creativity. Mr. Tao Xingzhi once said: "Democracy is the best condition for creation. Creating a relaxed, free and democratic atmosphere for children, allowing them to think freely, imagine boldly and practice actively, can germinate the creativity of most children and make the creativity of most children reach its peak. " Music activity itself is a creative activity form. As long as we provide children with enough play time and choose suitable music materials and activities, children can't help but devote themselves to the role of music and enjoy music, understand music, create songs and actions freely under the influence of music. While fully satisfying children's curiosity and interest needs, promote their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. When children sing, they often mix up the lyrics and string them together. At this time, children can be inspired to create actions and help them remember the lyrics and express their emotions. For example, the song "Planting Melons": I planted a melon under the wall/watered it every day/came to see it every day/sprouted/blossomed/produced a big watermelon/big watermelon/big watermelon/hug/hug. The lyrics of this song tell a concrete, vivid and complete story about how I grow melons. I make full use of the lyrics to let my children imagine how I felt when I planted melons, and freely create actions to express them. I also encourage young children to boldly create scenes and several people to perform together. In such activities, children are happy, free and unrestrained, and their creative enthusiasm is also high. Through this kind of singing and performing activities, children will not forget the lyrics, and it is also convenient to express the feelings of songs, which is also conducive to cultivating children's musical creativity.
The melody of some music has obvious appeal, and children can often be infected by the atmosphere of music in the process of appreciation and understand the content of music superficially. For example, the music of March of the Lion King shows obvious artistic image in rhythm, pitch, structure and phrase arrangement. Such as the arrogant lion king, neat and orderly bands, light rabbits and so on. Therefore, on the basis of listening to familiar music, children can create a complete story with obvious artistic images. Understand the symbolic meaning of music, correctly understand the content of the work, and creatively use musical means such as action rhythm to express music. The plot of some music has obvious appeal. Children are often attracted by the plot of music and creatively express its content in the plot. For example, in the music game "Baby Rabbit", children play the roles of wolf, rabbit and mother rabbit. Under the rendering of music plot and environmental atmosphere, children are attracted by the fierce voice and smile of the wolf, the calm performance of the rabbit and the game plot of fighting with the wolf. Encouraged by the teacher, they took part in the game and played roles. With the change of music, children can freely create all kinds of action expressions, so that their creativity can be fully exerted.
Second, provide topics at the right time and give children wings of imagination.
The famous educator Suhomlinski once pointed out that in children's childhood, music is as indispensable as games. Goethe, a German poet, started at the age of two, and his mother told the story to the key points every day, letting Goethe make up the ending of the story. This educational form of Goethe's mother played a great role in Goethe's later literary creation. "The knower is not as good as the knower, and the knower is not as good as the knower." Using the methods of "continuation" and "creation" can stimulate children's imagination interest and actively and interactively enter the imagination space. The age characteristics of young children determine that their imagination is infinite and their thoughts come and go without a trace. Many times they are not satisfied with the end of the story or the content of some poems, and they don't fully agree with our ideas. I try to teach children creatively in stories and poetry and literature. For example, when I was teaching the poem Comb, I asked my children to seriously understand the content of the poem, boldly imagine and create such a poem: the rag is a glass comb with glass wool on it; Mop is a comb on the floor to comb the hair on the floor; Baiyun is the comb of the sky, combing the hair of the sky; Fish is the comb of the stream, combing the hair of the stream ... Children have created many wonderful poems according to their own life experience and infinite imagination. And in "Bells in Xiaohua Mall", the children carefully observed and boldly imagined according to the clues provided by the picture, and created such a plot: when the master tied a bell to Xiaohua Mall, Xiaohua Mall was very proud, walked with his neck straight and his chest high, and showed off himself everywhere in front of his friends ... During the composition process, some children raised questions: Xiaohua Mall put on a bell, and the mouse would definitely not be caught after the bell sounded. Will you still be as proud as you are now? After heated discussion, the children made it up according to their own life experience. In the process of creation, negation, negation and affirmation, children fully open their imagination wings and make bold artistic creation. Slowly, I let children create stories with suspense appropriately, and let them make bolder and broader artistic creation. I provide children with imagination space as much as possible in the activities, so that children can enjoy the joy of imagination, thus stimulating their whimsy and exploring their creativity.
Third, explore all kinds of materials to provide children with a broad creative space.
Art has its randomness as well as its randomness. As long as it has artistic effect, it is not necessary to stick to its tools, materials and forms. So I provided all kinds of materials for the children in the activity, such as wool, all kinds of paper, cloth strips, empty bottles, wooden boards, all kinds of seed shells, egg shells, straw, leaves, branches, cotton, pigments, ink, gouache and so on. Let children freely choose the materials they are interested in to operate and create. For example, collage strips and pieces of cloth on paper. At first, when children randomly placed strips or pieces of cloth, I encouraged them to give full play to their imagination. "What is this like?" Houses, refrigerators, biscuits, roads, trunks, dogs, skirts, chairs, cars ... When children are imaginative, we should take a positive attitude. Actively encourage every child to participate in activities, so as to stimulate every child's imagination desire and let them innovate from single to complex.
Facts have also proved that children are always devoted to playing with waste materials, and their creative space is broader. You can also use various environmental arrangements to let children give full play to their imagination and creatively express their wishes and ideas in the process of various environmental arrangements. For example, collage pictures with various pieces of cloth; Sprinkle some gouache or ink on the paper to blow paint; Draw, write and build castles on the beach with branches; Creating on wooden boards and eggshells ... these are creative activities that every child can never tire of playing. In these activities, every child doesn't care how vivid and lifelike his own creation is. They only care that these things can express their thoughts and yearning for a better life. It is enough to fully express your thoughts in the activity. There is also the use of prose appreciation activities to develop children's creativity I remember that we used to like the essay "The Color of Spring Rain", which describes that after the spring rain, everything on the earth recovered and the world became full of vitality. In the activity, I encourage children to expand their imagination in time, boldly use colors, and show their understanding and feelings of prose through their own paintings. As a result, some children painted "prairie", some painted "beautiful garden", some painted "a big forest" and so on. All these fully demonstrate our children's creativity. Every child is an artist in daily life, and their sensitive hearts, subtle feelings and sparks of thought are the most authentic, valuable and innovative. As a kindergarten teacher, we should be good at looking at their world with children's eyes, be kind to each child's imagination and give the most sincere and enthusiastic evaluation. Let children be willing to imagine when they feel the teacher's love and expectation, and let their immature imagination grow sturdily with age.
