For kindergarten children, whether they can "play well" determines whether they "learn well"

On the way to pick up their children from kindergarten, I ran into some parents of Xiaobao's classmates. As a child in a large class, they were always asked by their parents, "What did you learn today?" Eh? What did you learn? I saw a lot of kindergarten babies staring at the big eyes as confused as Xiaobao. They didn't know how to answer, let alone what they "learned" this day. What is "learning"? In many traditional cognitions, “learning” requires learning knowledge, how many new words, how many arithmetic, how many ancient poems, even how many songs, how many art, how many stories? ...In fact, the most important thing for babies in kindergarten is learning function, not what they have learned, but whether they can "play" and can they "play well"? Only when you can "play" and "play well" can you "learn" and "learn well"! Because play is the main task of children in kindergarten.

1. Play with building blocks

There are many kinds of building blocks, including indoor play, outdoor play, and wood construction , there are also plastic assembled... No matter how children play, they always pile up building blocks of various shapes according to their own imagination to create different three-dimensional spaces. This is how children learn geometry, physics, architecture, and engineering in the future. basis of learning.

2. Free graffiti

The reason why they don’t say that the children are drawing is because when the children just entered kindergarten when they were about 3 years old, they used crayons and colored pens to draw To scribble, to use "doodle" to be more precise. Many times, the simple lines drawn by children do not make parents understand their meaning, but for them, it is a very meaningful combination, which may be a family member, a toy, or one of his an imagination. Children's pen skills will become better and better, and their paintings will become more and more complex, taking into account all kinds of small details, so that parents can more and more understand what they want to express. And these changes are the result of children's careful observation of the world.

3. Rhythm brings beauty

Music and dance are also the most common "courses" for kindergarten children. Through music and dance, children can freely play the theme, and can also flexibly create movements, which not only bring happiness to themselves, but also feel the charm of music. Music is the silent language that brings infinite beauty and emotional expression to life. When children's life is full of music, their perception of happiness in life and inner happiness will also arise spontaneously.

4. Toys bring imagination

The types of toys are even more diverse, especially those specially prepared for children in kindergartens Various toys. It can not only satisfy children's spatial imagination, but also exercise children's hand-eye-brain coordination ability. Toys can be said to be a medium for children's growth. Maybe parents can't feel the charm of toys, but for children, toys are what they love. A partner is a medium of communication and communication between peers. The process of children playing with toys is also the beginning of their learning of cooperation and sharing and a sense of order.

5. Colorful outdoor activities

For children, outdoor jumping and various large toys are their favorite in kindergarten. Outdoor activities bring more benefits to children. It can improve children's physical ability, exercise their muscles, and practice their body balance; at the same time, it can also give children a platform for free social interaction. . They learn to communicate, communicate, group, organize games, solve various problems independently, feel the sense of honor from the group, etc., which are the enlightenment of their social life.

6. Irreplaceable reading ability

Children can’t read, so how can they read? If parents think this way, they are wrong. Children's reading does not rely on words, and picture books are the most suitable "good friends" for them. Through the observation and understanding of the content of the picture book, the children can almost understand the content that the picture book wants to express, the relationship between the characters and the meaning of the action. At the same time, the kindergarten teachers will continue to tell stories and read picture books to the children. Through listening with small ears, they will gradually be able to retell the whole story through their own memory. And these are the process of children's self-reading. Through stories, they can master knowledge, learn skills, distinguish right from wrong, and improve their language expression ability. It's really effective!

7. Unique characteristic classrooms

Many kindergartens have their own characteristic classrooms and special courses. Do it yourself, see it with your eyes, and experience it with your heart, so as to achieve the purpose of mastering a certain skill and improving yourself. For example, in Xiaobao's kindergarten, there is a special course: food education. On the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, the teacher led the children in the food education classroom to make moon cakes by themselves. From rolling the skin to the filling, the children did it themselves, and the teacher only served as a guide. When Xiaobao happily holds his moon cakes home, the kind of cherishing and pride is self-evident. The most important thing is that he took the initiative to cut a few small moon cakes and share them with everyone in the family, and at night, he told me the story of Chang'e, the story of the jade rabbit and the story of Hou Yi... As a child, he has more than harvested moon cakes? He learned to observe with heart, make hands-on, feel the joy of sharing, and learn ancient legends... It's really rewarding. In fact, all the recreational activities that children love can develop their cognitive, physical, and social skills in different ways, which are precisely what children need in the process of learning knowledge in the future. of. Therefore, whether children learn to use their imaginations in many different fields in kindergarten, whether they can play happily and immersively, is the beginning of their real learning and thinking, and it is also a factor that determines the child's personality.

For kindergarten children, whether they can "play well" determines whether they "learn well"
