This game is a good way to help children practice shape recognition. Each popsicle has only half the shape, and children must pair up correctly to spell out the complete shape.
Materials:
At least 20 popsicles (be sure to prepare even numbers) and pens of various colors.
Game steps:
Put two popsicles together.
Help children draw their favorite shapes on two sticks, and try to distribute the shapes evenly between the sticks.
Repeat step 2 and ask the children to draw as many shapes as possible.
Break up the sticks and mix them together.
Encourage children to pair popsicles in the right shape.
Let the children try to draw circles, squares, triangles and any other shapes. Here, teachers have the opportunity to teach the concept of symmetry and help children understand the shapes they make for jigsaw puzzles, which are symmetrical and which are not.
Egg toothpaste experiment
In this game, boiled eggs represent teeth. The purpose of the game is to let the children know the terrible consequences if they don't brush their teeth after meals. After this game, children may start to pay attention to brushing their teeth!
Ingredients: boiled eggs, glass, coke or other dark brown soda water, toothpaste, toothbrush.
Game steps:
Carefully put the boiled eggs into the empty cup.
Pour the coke into the glass and make sure that the eggs are completely immersed in the coke.
Let the children guess what will happen to the eggs after one night.
The next day, take out the eggs from the coke. Ask the children to describe the changes of eggs.
Provide children with toothbrushes and toothpaste and encourage them to remove stains on the surface of eggs. Explain to children that the eggs in the experiment actually represent human teeth, and discuss what might be terrible if you don't brush your teeth after eating!
Put the raindrops in the paper tube.
Materials:
Colored pen, aluminum foil paper, round paper tube, dried soybean or other adzuki bean, adhesive tape.
Game steps:
If there are seals at both ends of the paper tube, remove the seal at one end. If not, you need to seal one end with tape so that the poured beans will not fall out.
Let the children pour some beans into the paper tube, try to shake the paper tube up and down, and listen to what kind of sound the beans make in the tube. When necessary, let the children add more beans to catch their own "rain".
Next, repeat step 1 at the other end of the paper tube, and seal it to prevent the beans from falling out.
Let the children turn the paper tube upside down and let the beans fall out of the tube. Try to turn the paper tube slowly, and then analyze the difference between the sound before and after.
In order to obtain different sounds, several pieces of aluminum foil paper can be kneaded into a ball and put into a paper tube. In this way, the speed of beans passing through the paper tube will slow down and the "rain sound" will change.
Try to create different raindrop sounds through different flipping methods.
You can decorate the paper tube with colored pens to increase the fun of the game.
Magical outdoor oven
Materials:
Cotton candy, wooden sticks, plastic bowls, aluminum foil paper, chocolate bars, chairs.
Game steps:
Wrap the inside of the bowl with aluminum foil.
Put two marshmallows on each wooden sign.
Take the children outdoors and let them find the sunniest place in the yard. Let the children look at the aluminum foil in the bowl and ask them if the aluminum foil looks brighter. Talk about how aluminum foil reflects sunlight and makes it hotter. Put a string of marshmallows in an aluminum foil bowl and receive the sunshine.
Let the children find a dark place in the yard, put a bunch of marshmallows on the bowl and put them on the chair in the shade.
After about 15 minutes, let the children check the marshmallows in the sun and dark, and talk about the differences between the two kinds of marshmallows.
When the marshmallows begin to melt, ask your child why the marshmallows in the sun melt before those in the shade. Ask her if she can feel the temperature difference between two points.
When the marshmallows are baked soft, teachers and students can enjoy them. Put marshmallows on chocolate biscuits and enjoy cooking while playing experimental games!
Transport grain
Materials:
Paper cups, rope, popcorn
Game play:
Put a cup on your foot and some "grain" in the cup to see who can transport the most "grain" in a certain period of time.
Tomato game
Organize the children to sit in a circle on the lawn. The person standing in the middle is called "egg". Everyone takes turns asking the egg a question. But "egg" can only answer "tomato". You can ask all kinds of ridiculous questions. Finally, whoever makes the "egg" laugh will win. Then let him be an egg in the middle. You can also let the amused "egg" sing a song or dance for the children. Activities can stimulate children's interest and desire to perform.
Games are children's favorite activities and an important way for children to learn knowledge. Excellent teachers can observe and interpret children's games and re-examine the suitability of education. In the face of game activities, kindergarten teachers must have the following three abilities besides creating entertaining games with creativity:
First, objectively and concretely describe the ability of children's game activities, that is, the ability of "attention". Teachers can pay attention to the happy moments of children in the game and describe them.
Second, the ability to interpret children's game behavior, that is, the ability to "recognize". This is the part where teachers use professional knowledge to make rational analysis.
Third, the coping strategies for children's games, that is, "coping" ability. In the face of children's diverse behaviors, teachers should think about what to do in the future in order to better help children develop.
