First, the importance of games in early childhood teaching
Children are in the period of brain development and are curious about all new things, but because of their young age and poor endurance, they are not suitable for sitting in one place for a long time. According to this feature, kindergarten teachers should link games with teaching and learn through games. According to the nature of children, they like to associate with their peers, and playing games with their peers is their happiest thing. According to the laws of psychology, children with peers can cultivate their interpersonal skills, make them learn to share, learn to be patient, learn to care and learn to compete, which has a positive effect on the formation of their character. At present, China is a one-child family. Children are spoiled by their parents and grandparents at home, which will only make them vulnerable and selfish. Moreover, due to different ages, the communication between children and adults at home is very limited. If they attend classes on time like kindergarten pupils, their feelings will not be vented, and over time they will easily form autistic and withdrawn characters. Through kindergarten games, they can open their hearts.
Second, children's gamification teaching
(A) Gamification of life ability
Children's living ability mainly refers to their hands-on ability, such as buttoning and dressing. Many children lack this ability, which is done by parents at home and helped by teachers in kindergarten. This ability is something that everyone must master. Therefore, teachers can stimulate children's active participation through game activities. Although children are curious about new things, they come and go in a hurry. For example, color recognition, many people can only remember the general main colors, such as red, green, yellow and blue, but it is easy to forget rose, pink, light green and other colors. For this phenomenon, the teacher can also use games to fold different colors of paper into small planes, and then the teacher gives a password to let the designated children quickly find out the plane of the corresponding color, thus prompting them to remember different colors quickly. To cultivate children's collective concept, we can play in groups. Several people compete with each other, and children will spontaneously regard the same group as a whole.
(B) Children's language game teaching
There are two kinds of language teaching, one is written language and the other is spoken language. From the age of three to five, children's language ability is in the period from monosyllabic words to long sentences. To train their language ability, they should not only speak more, but also be good at remembering. For written language, children can exercise by reading children's songs and five-character poems, but this reading method will make children lose patience over time. Therefore, children can strengthen their memory by playing solitaire after learning a children's song, and several children can be grouped. The first person said the first sentence, and the people behind said the second sentence and the third sentence. This cycle several times, the child can basically master it completely, which is much more interesting than rote memorization. Many kindergartens pay attention to the cultivation of written language and ignore the cultivation of spoken language. In order for children to communicate fluently with others in the future, they should do more oral practice in kindergarten. The child's life scope is kindergarten except family, so it is a little difficult for him to talk about activities. Teachers can divide children into several groups and let everyone talk about their families, such as what their names are, when their birthdays are, what their fathers are, what their mothers are, and where their homes are. When talking, the teacher should remind others to pay attention, and then let others repeat what the classmates just said to see who repeated it in the most detail. This not only exercises their language ability, but also exercises their attention and memory, and also allows children to know more about their family. Such games should be played regularly, and the content of speeches should be constantly changing. You can start from the family, turn to personal hobbies, and then turn to daily activities, which is also helpful for children to write compositions and observe things around them in the future.
(C) Children's mathematics concept game teaching
During kindergarten, they are not required to calculate mathematics, but only to master mathematical concepts, such as counting. They can't count from one to a hundred like singing, but let them express it in kind, at least knowing what eight and three are, which is more and which is less. In addition to the concept of number, we should also master the concept of polygon, such as triangle, square, rectangle, straight line, curve and so on. These concepts can be enhanced by handcraft. They can also "eat" different graphics by eating cookies, or they can go home and find different graphics in their furniture.
Third, the necessary conditions for children's gamification teaching
The application of gamification teaching in children's teaching plays a positive role in improving children's learning interest and developing children's ability. However, the gamification teaching for children should meet several conditions: First, it should be suitable for children's physical and mental development, and children's cognitive status is different at different ages. It is necessary to avoid the phenomenon of pulling out the seedlings to encourage them. Such games will not only make them interested, but will increase their psychological burden. Second, create a relaxed and happy game environment. Cognitive games about language and mathematics should be arranged in the period when children are full of energy. For example, just after playing sports games, children are still immersed in excitement, but they are tired and can't continue to play games. It can't be arranged at the end of school. The child hasn't left yet, but his heart has already left, so he can't play games with peace of mind. Third, teachers should carefully arrange all kinds of games and match hands-on games with brain games. They should not repeat the same game in a short time, but leave a "blank" and stop when the students are not satisfied and switch to other types. So that students will be interested in doing it next time. To make children have a positive interest in all kinds of games, teachers should use their brains to find information to sort out. To do this, teachers should fully understand children's psychological characteristics and master their psychology before designing their favorite games.
