"Kindergarten takes games as the basic activity" is the basic requirement of preschool education laws and regulations, kindergarten work rules and kindergarten education policy. Games are the main way of children's active learning and an important form of children's all-round development education. Kindergarten regional games divide the activity places into several areas, such as architecture, art, puzzle, role, performance and sports, and put corresponding materials for children to explore. Because of its relaxed and free game atmosphere, regional game activities are a process of free discovery and exploration, which plays a unique role in meeting children's individual needs and developing their individual potential. It is an activity that children are really interested in, easy to invest, lasting, developing and enjoying.
With the development of regional games, I also encountered some problems and puzzles in the game. Here are a few cases:
First, a single regional game should be "refined"
Case 1: once a month, the game observation activities in the park began. The first thing you see is the middle-class music area: colorful curtains hung on the ceiling; There are various props for music games on the cabinet against the wall, such as gongs and drums, bells, ribbons, clothes, hats and so on. Wearing all kinds of headdresses, it is very warm. I saw a group of children dancing to the music. Some of them sang, some danced, some performed, and a small "concert" began ... The teachers who saw it were also very happy, singing and dancing with the children. Twenty minutes later, the originally lively small stage has become chaotic. I saw some children lying on the ground, some lying on the ground, and some even chatting. The whole small stage is "a mess", and the original orderly game order is gone.
I think the disorder of this game is due to the setting of the game area itself. In this game, teachers use all kinds of waste materials to reprocess and make props for all kinds of music games, which is very imaginative and creative. However, teachers ignored the order of children in the game, and thought that "children can show their elegance on a beautiful stage", but because teachers did not consider the arrangement of seats in the game, this is one of the reasons for the disorder of the game. Providing comfortable and beautiful mats can of course bring beautiful enjoyment to children in the game, but it is crowded to some extent for children to sing, dance and beat gongs and drums on the mats, and children are not responsible for it. After a long time, children's patience and enthusiasm will disappear. Orderly games will no longer exist.
Seating in regional competitions is very important. First of all, we should consider the age characteristics of children. The child in the middle class has a certain degree of maturity in thinking. She won't copy the teacher's arrangement and sit as the teacher arranges. Instead, they only use some game materials to remake the game. But in the game, their space is narrow and their layout is unreasonable, which will be more chaotic. Teachers should consider the distribution of various roles in the game, so as to arrange the position of each role. For example, children who dance can dance on the mat, children who beat gongs and drums can stand around the mat or form various teams according to their own wishes, and at the same time, they can put the audience in front of the small stage, thus forming a formal "stage", which makes the performing children feel that they are actors, protagonists and leaders of the whole stage. In this way, the performing children have a stronger desire to perform roles, and the singing and dancing children have greater interest.
Case 2: In the game, the bank is the core of the whole game, and the bank's job is to collect money and save money. In the small class game, the children actively go to the bank to withdraw money and save money. Some children rushed over and said, "I want to withdraw two dollars!" " "After that, they quickly ran to work. At this time, a large number of children will imitate their behavior. They didn't line up, but flocked to them. Some children line up quietly and obey the rules of the game.
This case gives us a good sign that these children in line in life are also civilized and polite. In the game, these children still play games according to the experience they have in life. For children who don't queue up to withdraw money, I suggest putting a stool in front of the bank counter, so that when withdrawing money and saving money, the children can sit down and the children behind will follow the queue. At the same time, the location of the bank should not be placed next to the quiet language area, which will affect the development of other regions. Because banks are the leading core of the whole activity and can promote the development of all regions without affecting the development of other regions, the status of banks is also extremely important. I think, if conditions permit, we should try to put it in the "bustling area". For example, class corridors are creative and should be placed in corridors, which will not affect the development of desktop games inside, but will also promote the development of desktop games very well.
Second, multi-regional activities should be "quiet"
Case 3: After lunch, the children in our class began to play regional games. Some go to the book corner to see fairy tales, some go to the construction area to build blocks, some go to the puzzle area to play games with friends, and some perform in front of the mirror ... The children play happily and intently in the games they choose. However, the children in the performance became more and more lively, the children in other areas began to be restless, and the classroom suddenly became noisy. I saw the children reading a book covering their ears, and the children in the puzzle area gradually ran away. The whole game was noisy.
I think children are not at ease with their own games, mainly because of the unreasonable regional settings and layout. The lively performance area and the quiet corner of the book are arranged in the same room at the same time. The songs and gongs and drums from the performance area spread to other quiet areas, which, to a certain extent, interfered with children who like to read quietly and made children who read and play chess unable to play games normally. Therefore, there must be a reasonable game layout in the puzzle area, performance area, building area, language area, art area, doll house and so on. In setting, the game should be divided into two categories: quiet and lively. For example, the language area, puzzle area and art area can be placed in relatively quiet areas, while the relatively lively performance area, building area and doll house can be placed outside the classroom. The two regions do not interfere with each other, but are interrelated, which will promote the development of the whole game.
Third, the whole regional activities should be "closed"
Regional activities are children's favorite game activities. When choosing regional games, we often encounter such a phenomenon: children in some areas are particularly interested and actively participate (such as doll's houses, supermarkets, etc.). ); However, some areas are neglected (such as manual areas and science areas), so in order to solve the contradiction of uneven distribution, teachers often adopt the "blame method for the distribution of activity areas", that is, teachers forcibly designate children's activity areas, which violates our original intention of setting up regional activities and affects the in-depth development of regional activities. In fact, children's choice of regional activities is related to the "metabolism" of regional content. For example, in the field of science, when enough "rock music" materials are provided, few children often participate. However, after the reduction of "rock music" material, the sound emitted by objects stimulated children's desire to explore, greatly changed the activity scene, and children rushed into the science area, greatly exceeding the number stipulated by the region. Therefore, we should pay attention to the scientific quantity of materials and combine the needs of activities to make the activities in each area become a powerful magnetic field to attract children.
Games are a part of children's lives. In early childhood, "life is a game, and game is life." Games can not only bring fun to children, but also promote their physical, cognitive and social development. The environment setting of regional games can provide an optimized environment and opportunity for children, which is beneficial to their activities and performance. Through reasonable arrangement of activities, provide enough materials that can stimulate children's activities and establish a harmonious, free and relaxed atmosphere. Children can act according to their own wishes, learn to communicate with others, develop their own personality, and cultivate their autonomy, self-discipline and good behavior habits. In constant reflection on practice, I realized that we should learn to observe, learn from children sincerely and truly understand their hearts. As the famous educator Tao Xingzhi said, teachers should "be children" and enjoy "happiness" with their children.
So I think the layout of the game is very important. Only by arranging the regional settings can we still enjoy the game in the ocean of games.
