Dinosaurs are always curious about children. They like reading books, listening to stories and playing with toys about dinosaurs. Dinosaur is a mysterious and strange animal. No one has seen what a real dinosaur looks like. The dinosaur patterns people see are all images restored by scientists through its fossils. This leaves a rich imagination space for children. Maximize children's desire to explore the dinosaur world.

Activity 3: Regional activity "The Story of Dinosaur"

Book area: put the collected dinosaur books and videos into the activity area.

Building area: collect dinosaur pictures, dinosaur models, waste toothpaste boxes, waste newspapers, drinks, cans, building blocks and games.

Art area: Dinosaur pictures, let children play freely, put plasticine in and pinch dinosaurs.

Activity reflection:

In order to let children know more about dinosaurs, I think if the teacher only relies on one mouth and a few pictures to teach, it is difficult for children to fully perceive and understand, and the teaching effect may be unsatisfactory. To this end, before class, I encourage my children to go home and go online with their parents to inquire about dinosaur-related information, look for dinosaur model toys or books and pictures, and then take them to the kindergarten to exchange and watch, so as to pave the way and prepare for this teaching activity.
