Games are the basic form of children's activities. In the process of the game, children are their own masters, and they can move independently and express their opinions.
Kindergarten curriculum and games are inseparable. As one of the important activities in curriculum implementation, games should give full play to children's initiative and creativity, guide children to participate in various games, encourage children to reflect on life in games, and provide opportunities and conditions for children to use their knowledge and ability in games.
In the practice of kindergarten education, the concepts of game and teaching are often confused. On many occasions, games have become teaching objectives at all levels and activities carried out according to teachers' will and plans, while the tasks originally undertaken by teaching have been quietly replaced by games.
In fact, games and teaching are irreplaceable and complementary, and they can influence, combine and complement each other in various ways.
For example, in the music game Tom and Jerry, children can not only feel and express the beauty of the rhythm and melody of music itself, but also cultivate their good qualities of courage and wit, and promote their physical development through the performance of bending over and running.
Through the integration of kindergarten curriculum and games, games can become a way for children to learn and develop in various fields under the condition of active activities. It not only promotes the development of children in all fields, but also enables children to create and express themselves independently in the world of imagination and games.
In kindergarten education activities, the integration of game activities and teaching activities will make the kindergarten curriculum more perfect and vivid, thus fundamentally changing the "herding" or "indoctrination" education.
Only by fully understanding the nature and value of these two activities can we realize their respective values to the greatest extent at the least cost.
