Cultivate children's hands-on ability through the activities in the puzzle area

Education area is of great significance to cultivate children's hands-on operation ability. In order to better cultivate children's hands-on ability, I explore from the following aspects:

First, provide rich materials to stimulate children's interest in operation.

Second, let children feel happy in the operation.

Third, family education to improve children's hands-on ability.

Key words: effective materials in the puzzle area, hands-on operation ability, operation interest, and feeling happy.

Educator Suhomlinski said: "Children's intelligence is at your fingertips.

"This shows the importance of hands-on operation ability to children's development.

Mr. Chen Heqin also advocates "learning by doing and making progress by doing", which is to encourage children to develop through hands-on operation.

Small muscle groups in the hand can only become more flexible and fine if they have more activities.

Children's thinking is inseparable from action, and hands-on operation is the source of knowledge and ability.

Therefore, it is particularly important to stimulate children's interest in operating activities, provide children with a free operating environment, and encourage children to explore and start work.

However, the puzzle area provides such a learning environment for children.

The jigsaw puzzle area is a regular area of kindergarten, which children can use. It is an activity area that focuses on letting children acquire knowledge and develop intelligence through hands-on thinking.

Piaget, a famous psychologist, said: "Children's wisdom comes from materials." The effective delivery of materials in the puzzle area not only affects children's interest in regional games, but also plays a decisive role in whether children can acquire knowledge and develop their abilities in regional games.

First, provide rich and effective materials to stimulate children's interest in operation.

The "Outline" points out: "Provide rich and operable materials to provide conditions for every child to explore in various ways by using various senses". In the activity, teachers should ensure the exploration and discovery of children under the premise of sufficient types and quantities of homework materials.

Every child has different interests and abilities. Only by providing sufficient materials in activities can we provide children with more choices, thus stimulating children to take the initiative to operate and exercise their hands-on ability.

Children are naturally curious, and providing interesting and rich materials is easy to attract children's attention, thus stimulating children to actively explore and learn. In this state, children are relaxed and happy, and teachers provide a relaxed and free environment for children, which is more conducive to promoting children's observation and exploration and cultivating children's hands-on operation ability.

Before placing materials in the puzzle area, teachers should fully understand the children's ability and interest in placing materials in this class.

With inappropriate materials, children will be at a loss in this area and even destroy toys.

When providing materials, we should take into account the different abilities of children, adjust the operation difficulty of materials at any time, and highlight the hierarchy of materials.

The difficulty of providing materials is so low that children lose interest after playing for several times, let alone exploring.

The difficulty of the materials is too high, and children will easily lose confidence and interest if they can't play.

Only on the basis of being suitable for children's development level, considering children's "nearest development area" and investing in materials with appropriate difficulty can children quickly enter the exploration process, explore knowledge in play, understand some simple scientific principles and gradually develop the exploration quality.

Second, let children feel happy in the operation.

The magic puzzle area is the sky where children spread their wisdom wings. Children feel the joy of discovery in the process of operation, fiddling, groping and trying.

Children who often hear regional games say happily, "I finally know how to play this!" " "I'll tell you how to put this!" Children discover the mysteries of materials through hands-on operation, and interest is their best teacher.

In the new semester, the teacher made the toy "looking for lost playing cards". On the first day of use, the teacher found that boys were very interested in this toy.

Peas and stones often operate together and communicate quietly. In the game of playing cards, stimulate children's interest in mathematics and promote the development of the concept of children's number.

Also popular is the game "Fruit Touch".

The teacher posted various fruit patterns in the small box where the children had eaten jam, and then buckled them on the chessboard, so that the children could find two identical fruits, and whoever found more would win.

In this game, the children played very hard, opened the box carefully, found the same fruit and smiled happily, full of pride.

Cultivate children's concentration and memory in a happy atmosphere.

In the fierce Go game, the children's wisdom collided with sparks.

Children's thinking, imagination and creativity can be brought into full play in jigsaw puzzles and modeling games.

In the jigsaw puzzle area, children play with various materials to stimulate their interest in inquiry and desire for knowledge, cultivate their ability to concentrate on solving problems independently in activities, and get happiness at the same time.

Third, family education to improve children's hands-on ability.

The outline points out: "Family is an important partner of kindergarten. We should strive for parents' understanding, support and active participation based on the principles of respect, equality and cooperation to help parents improve their educational ability.

"To this end, we often introduce the characteristics of our education area and its help to improve children's ability through the column of contact with parents' homes.

So as to help parents change their educational concepts and keep their educational concepts consistent with those of teachers.

Under suitable conditions, teachers will also let parents and children work together to make simple and interesting educational materials and bring them to the classroom to explore and share with children.

Children are more interested in manipulating their own materials.

Activities in jigsaw puzzle area improve children's hands-on operation ability.

abstract

The regional activities in the puzzle area are a regular game, which is easy for children to accept, stimulate their interest in learning, and let them freely and independently participate in exploratory learning, thus developing their hands-on ability.

Children can operate various educational materials through their hands, eyes and brain, develop their logical thinking ability and form a good habit of concentration. Therefore, activities in the field of education play an important role in cultivating children's hands-on ability.

It is of great practical significance to dig deeply into educational games to cultivate children's hands-on operation ability.

key word

Exploration Law of Hands-on Ability of Regional Activities in Intelligence Zone

Self-learning, self-exploration, self-discovery and self-improvement.

In kindergarten, we call the games that use a variety of toy materials to perceive and explore, form knowledge, develop thinking and intelligence as educational games.

In educational regional games, children play according to the basic rules of regional games. On the basis of perceiving, distinguishing, classifying and classifying objects, we can use our hands, eyes and brains to think positively and win a kind of psychological satisfaction with wisdom and skills.

The activities in the puzzle area are regular games, which are easy for children to accept and stimulate their interest in learning. It can mobilize their courage to overcome difficulties and challenge themselves, develop their ability of calculation and reasoning, and promote the development of thinking and cognitive level. It can also meet children's hands-on needs, promote children's sensory sensitivity and finger flexibility, thus developing children's hands-on operation ability and laying a good foundation for future learning ability.

The activities in the jigsaw puzzle area include jigsaw puzzles, math games, maze games, chess games and folk jigsaw puzzles. Every activity in the puzzle area plays an important role in improving children's hands-on operation ability.

First, play games and cultivate children's hands-on operation ability.

Puzzle game refers to providing various forms of puzzle materials, so that children can give full play to their imagination and hands-on ability to build graphics.

Puzzle games are generally divided into two types: shape combinations and various forms of puzzles.

Generally, the combination of human body splicing and folding uses cubes, cuboids, spheres and other building blocks for creative splicing, such as Rubik's cube and magic ruler.

Children will try to combine various shapes, and their works will be even richer than those of adults.

Various forms of jigsaw puzzles are to put together the small pieces cut from jigsaw puzzles and then reassemble them into a complete plane image or three-dimensional work, such as jigsaw puzzles. Children are particularly keen on this kind of games, and they can always combine pictures quickly according to careful observation, while their hands-on operation ability is improved through several skills such as spelling, folding and swinging.

Second, the math games of self-made materials improve children's hands-on operation ability.

For kindergartens, we are very familiar with the words "use your head" and "play with middle school", which fully illustrates the importance of providing children with material information.

In the math games in the puzzle solving area, teachers usually make their own operating materials, including perceptual division, classification, sorting, adjacent numbers, decomposition and combination of numbers and other games.

Perceptual bisection game refers to children's perception of bisection, trisection and quartering of geometric shapes such as squares, circles and triangles, so as to understand the relationship between the whole and the parts. Children will observe the bisection of different shapes and complete the operation by trying to compare them. Classification game refers to the classification of objects with the same characteristics, such as color, shape, material and so on. This requires children's hands and eyes to classify and put all kinds of beads or beans in a small plate harmoniously; Sorting game refers to sorting by observing the color, shape, size, height and other characteristics of objects, or according to the law.

This kind of game allows children to observe and judge carefully, so as to operate accurately; The decomposition and combination of adjacent numbers require children to complete the operation activities according to the contents of the operation table. Children will actively think about rich self-made materials and complete the game content in the activities in the puzzle area. While enjoying the joy of success, their hands-on operation ability can also be improved.

Math game is an indispensable game in the field of puzzle.

It is often designed in combination with teaching objectives, including number sorting, number comparison, number correspondence, number measurement, number decomposition and combination, number addition and subtraction, etc.

This kind of game needs children to operate flexibly while observing cognition, which can help children form the concept of numbers and improve their hands-on ability.

Thirdly, maze games promote the development of children's hands-on operation ability.

The specific operation method of maze game is to provide detailed maze and drawings, and successfully break through the barrier step by step according to the operation method, and finally reach the end of victory.

We can often see children constantly and repeatedly trying to get to the palace. It is through this repeated operation that they meet the needs of the game process experience, which will become a new behavioral motivation and improve their enthusiasm for challenging more difficult games. Through observation, analysis and judgment, children can experience the fun of success in the game, build up their self-confidence and gradually develop their hands-on ability.

Fourthly, board games promote the development of children's hands-on operation ability.

"Is the hand a mirror of thinking? Is it a cultivator of consciousness? It is the creator of wisdom. " The more, richer and finer the muscle activity of children's hands, the more they can develop the potential of children's brains and promote the development of intelligence.

The board game in the puzzle area is an operational activity to develop children's intelligence and enrich their knowledge.

There are many kinds of board games, such as checkers, gobang, chess, go, flying chess and playing cards.

According to the characteristics of children's age, teachers make progress from easy to difficult, from simple to complex.

Most of these games are regular games. In the operation activities, children often need to learn from each other and communicate with each other while thinking, so the children's practical ability has also been cultivated.

Fifth, folk puzzle games promote the development of children's hands-on operation ability.

Folk puzzle game is a kind of folk game. This kind of game is colorful, easy to understand and learn, and is usually played in groups. Every game has established rules, and children need to abide by these rules in order to ensure the smooth progress of the game.

Common folk puzzle games include spinning rope, picking up popsicle sticks and so on.

Children need the coordination of hands, eyes and brain when playing the rope-spinning game, and the five fingers can hook and turn the rope flexibly. When playing the game of picking up sticks with popsicles, they need to carefully observe the stacking way of sticks, and then choose an angle to try it, so as not to touch the sticks nearby. This requires children to have strong hands-on operation ability, and the game will go smoothly.

The activities in the puzzle area mainly focus on children's hands-on operation and independent learning. It is an activity of children's self-learning, self-exploration, self-discovery and self-improvement.

Active is a child's nature. Psychological research has proved that hand movements are directly related to thinking activities. When people start working, relevant information will be transmitted from their hands to their brains, and then from their brains to their hands. Hands-on is the representation of their brains, which can support the positive activities of their brains, and is handy and ingenious.

It can be seen that children's wisdom is within reach, and children's intelligence is developed in the operation process of the puzzle area, and finally the purpose of improving hands-on operation ability is achieved.

Effective utilization of waste in kindergarten intelligent area

Abstract: The research of this topic has been going on for one semester. In the observation of the puzzle area, we also gained some gains and experiences, which made us have a deeper research and understanding of "material transfer and teacher guidance in the puzzle area" Kindergarten regional activities are teachers' purposeful creation of activity environment and transfer of activity materials according to their own educational goals and children's development level, so that children can carry out activities according to their own wishes and abilities. Our park pays attention to the utilization of waste materials in the selection of game materials. According to the characteristics of children of different ages, waste materials suitable for children's internal needs and age characteristics are put in to cultivate children's practical ability and innovative spirit.

It is mentioned in the Guide that the environment is an important educational resource, and it is of great practical significance to effectively use environmental resources, attach importance to building an economical society and create a harmonious interpersonal environment for the healthy development of children's body and mind.

So how to use waste materials to play its greater value in the field of puzzles?

Keywords: development and utilization of waste materials in the field of education

First of all, waste materials have laid a foundation for creating a space atmosphere in children's education areas.

The Guide points out that kindergartens should cooperate with families and communities, make full use of various educational resources, and jointly create favorable conditions for children's development.

In the field of art, it is also pointed out that "children should be instructed to make toys, handicrafts, beautify their lives or engage in other activities by using things around them or waste materials".

1. Give novel stimuli and lay the foundation for children to play games well.

It is mentioned in the Guide that the space, facilities and activity materials for children's games should be conducive to the benign interaction between children and the surrounding environment and support children's games and various exploration activities.

2. Attract and create a good atmosphere for children.

It is mentioned in the Guide that the children's playground forms a harmonious and warm psychological atmosphere, which makes children feel relaxed and happy in playing games.

We make full use of walls to create a maze, that is, we use discarded straws and sponge mats to create a good game atmosphere, so that children can better enter the life-oriented game state.

The materials are interesting, so that children can concentrate on playing games.

We all know that waste is exploratory and operational. For example, children in large classes are active in thinking and imaginative, and like to participate in some exploratory and operational games.

Children's thinking mode has changed from concrete thinking in images to abstract logical thinking, and their fine motor ability, observation ability and concentration ability have not been well developed, so the game materials they provide are difficult, changeable and highly operable.

The production of waste materials, such as toothpaste boxes and waste paper boxes, are good materials for corner activities. We use paper boxes to make small holes for imaging, and mice eat cheese and other materials. These waste materials are convenient and widely available, which not only enriches the materials for surgery, but also saves money.

This increases the familiarity between children and materials and adds a lot of unexpected fun to children.

We also put the waste materials in the basket in the puzzle area, and let the children in the big class try to make the puzzle area materials themselves.

Second, the rational use of waste materials in educational activities

1. Reasonable collection and arrangement of wastes

Make use of all available resources, especially the common materials with low cost, easy collection and flexible activities in life to support children's activity needs, and classify the collected materials.

We may use all kinds of barrels for fishing, punching, balancing and other materials, all kinds of prepaid cards for counting and counting materials, and all kinds of cups for playing games such as telephone and recorder.

2. Use waste materials to create the background environment of the puzzle area.

(1) Material application of paper series: paper sticks made of paper rolls are used for wall hanging; Make a paper circle with a small snail on a paper roll; Use paper rolls to grow different paper sticks and insert them into the paper.

(2) The application of box, tube and box series materials: cardboard boxes are used to make puzzles, small potato chip boxes are used as operating materials in the puzzle area, and large potato chip tubes are used as dolls, flower arrangements and toys in the puzzle area; Use cigarette boxes as operating materials in the puzzle area.

(3) Application of beverage bottle and oil drum series: based on beverage bottle; Use different sizes of beverage bottles as active substances in the small class hands-on operation area; Decorate oil drums and fill them with sand, and put them in the path for children to play; Lulu bottles are tied together to form a path and made into stilts for children to play with;

(4) Application of series materials of stones, shells and packaging bags: put stones and shells together.

Third, teachers guide and provide support to children.

The Guide advocates that teachers should pay attention to children's performance and reaction in activities, be sensitive to children's needs, respond in time and appropriately, and form cooperative inquiry-based teacher-child interaction.

Mr. Chen Heqin's "life education" theoretical system: "It is believed that using what children are familiar with directly as teaching materials and teaching AIDS is more conducive to promoting children's understanding of life, thus improving their interest and efficiency in learning.

"Giving full play to the value of regional waste materials is conducive to children's participation.

As a teacher, we should guide children to make full use of waste resources, innovate educational activities, create a good environment, innovate teaching AIDS, create better educational resources for children's development, and become an inexhaustible source of children's growth.
