Apart from traditional toys such as swings, slides and swivel chairs, what are children playing in kindergartens all over the world? Some games are really unexpected.
"play" carpentry
The carpentry mentioned here is not an imaginary game that imitates carpentry with plastic or special children's sex simulation tools. In some kindergartens in Europe and America, children should really do carpentry, from sawing wood, planing boards, cutting, polishing, binding, molding to painting, and children should make real wooden daily necessities or toys. If the story that many readers are familiar with that Einstein made a small stool as a child is true, then this tradition has been circulating for many years. It is said that some children's products are very similar.
As for the most concerned safety issues, teachers have their own solutions. The usual safety rules include: put the tools in the proper place and put them back immediately after use; The tool can only be used for the specified purpose; Constant emphasis on safety points and the need for adequate adult supervision. Interestingly, the teachers found that there was no difference between girls and boys in their love for carpentry.
"Play" cooking
Similarly, the cooking mentioned here is not a small dish and a small bowl full of sand for cooking. Some kindergartens have special courses. The children come to the kitchen to cook simple and delicious food, and then everyone eats it together. The children are really happy. The chef in this kitchen mainly cooks fresh cucumber slices, baked assorted vegetables, homemade lemonade, peanut butter rolls or jelly cakes. Usually on the National Day of the United States, many kindergartens will arrange for children to make their own celebration dinner with famous apple pie. After eating, they will also play a game of "setting off fireworks": the children jump, jump and jump to the highest place in turn, and then fall to the ground like fireworks. Children always have a good time.
Play with sand
Sand is one of the most classic toys in many western countries. Children can play with sand at home, on the beach and in kindergartens ... everywhere, and the play is really strange. Even published some books specifically to guide playing with sand.
Play music
Kindergarten music can be different from the formal musical instrument training for adults. In many western kindergartens, music lessons are more like "sound enlightenment" education for children. Children will face all kinds of materials, such as desktop, glass strip, metal sheet and so on. And try to tap them yourself to understand the different sounds made by different materials, and then go directly to the seaside in the Woods to listen to the sounds of wind, water, birds and animals. Children can make their own musical instruments that can make beautiful sounds and experience the feeling of music. Of course, if a child is interested in musical instruments, the teacher will encourage her and even teach her specially.
