This article "Analysis of the Significance and Value of Developing Local Theme Education Activities in Kindergartens" is specially compiled for everyone, hoping to help everyone!

The traditional culture of China is our mother and our spiritual home. Abandoning her means abandoning our roots, and we need her to nourish us at any time. Therefore, it is of great significance and value to carry out local cultural education and theme activities with local characteristics in China since childhood.

First, carry out education with local characteristics and inherit and carry forward local culture.

Today's China is an era in which Chinese and Western cultures continue to blend and develop. With the increasing popularity of network information and the influx of foreign cultural content, local culture is increasingly marginalized. In particular, educational resources with local characteristics have not been fully tapped and utilized. Zhuhai, located in Guangdong, has a long history and rich cultural accumulation. Its Lingnan culture has a long history, extensive and profound, unique personality and local characteristics; It has high historical and cultural value and artistic charm. The children in Zhuhai kindergartens are basically "Guangdong dolls", so it is very important to carry out education with local characteristics in Guangdong. Teachers take the local Guangdong traditional culture and intangible cultural heritage as the theme of curriculum resources, and strive to provide children with various opportunities to explore and appreciate Guangdong national culture through designed educational activities, so that these "Guangdong dolls" can feel, cultivate and accumulate the essence of national culture from an early age. No matter how modern civilization is baptized, they still maintain their love for national culture and carry it forward.

1. Appreciate the local artistic style and improve artistic accomplishment.

Guangdong's music, Cantonese opera, Cantonese opera, folk songs and colorful folk arts reflect the long history and profoundness of Lingnan culture. However, under the constant impact of foreign culture, today's children are increasingly alienated from local art. Therefore, local art should enter kindergartens and our classrooms. Only by letting children appreciate the elegance of local art and constantly improve their artistic accomplishment can we carry forward our national culture. The age characteristics of children determine that children use various means in local art activities: such as music activities, story performances, multimedia applications, language, limbs, symbols and other symbolic means; Guangdong Cantonese Opera and Cantonese Opera are representative local operas in Guangdong. Teachers can try to draw colorful faces of Cantonese opera by themselves through drama performance and role-playing, so that children can feel the charm of Guangdong local art and culture. Teachers should have a comprehensive understanding of local works of art, make simple analysis and display, provide corresponding materials for children to operate, and ask questions enlighteningly and artistically. Appreciation and feelings run through every activity, leading children to think freely in the ocean of local art and improving their artistic accomplishment.

2. Create a learning platform with local characteristics, enrich cultural details and improve cultural quality.

Carrying out education with local characteristics can increase children's knowledge, broaden their horizons and improve their cultural literacy. Teachers should actively carry out thematic activities with local characteristics and create a small website of "I love Guangdong". On the kindergarten website, there are many materials about Guangdong local culture found by parents and teachers, and all the collected materials such as words, pictures, audio and video are gathered together. By sorting, reorganizing and making materials, a platform for learning and sharing can be built. For example, teachers with the theme of "Guangdong nursery rhymes" who appreciate nursery rhymes "Moonlight" can log in and create a small website, and then they can find nursery rhymes flash.

In appreciation, children can quickly understand the artistic conception of life to be expressed and feel the beauty and unique charm of nursery rhymes dialect. Knowing the "enclosed house in Meixian, Guangdong", children can enjoy the pictures of the enclosed house from all angles in the resource library of the small website, so as to have a clear understanding of its structural characteristics.

Second, cultivate a sense of identity and pride in local culture and stimulate feelings of loving hometown.

Carrying out 9th grade in Guangdong can help children understand the nature, humanistic spirit and environment of their hometown from an early age, let them truly feel their close connection with local culture, and stimulate their sense of identity and pride in local culture. To achieve emotional goals as the primary goal, through observation, feeling and practical operation, help children face up to the value of local culture, and then from contact to understanding, care for the local area, and stimulate their feelings and sense of responsibility for loving their hometown.

1, environmental impact

Teachers should actively create conditions for children to explore and learn Guangdong local culture, so that children can be cultivated and immersed in an environment of hearing, seeing, touching, thinking and moving. Such as: music area: arrange exhibitions of Guangdong music and western musical instruments; Put in various percussion instruments; Cantonese Opera Performance VCD etc Art Design Zone: Provide waste materials such as wooden strips, bamboo chips, carving knives, corrugated paper, cartons, scallops, etc., so that children can design buildings and handicrafts with Guangdong characteristics. Photo exhibition of works of Guangdong folk craft inheritors. Science Zone: Provide maps of Guangdong, set up pictures of typhoon formation in "Subtropical Fruit Exhibition", make topographic sand and stones, and make small models. Living area: language area providing "Kung Fu tea set": providing pictures, movies and CDs of great heroes such as Sun Yat-sen ... Wall layout: pasting pictures of folk architecture and folk customs with Guangdong representative characteristics on the wall; Photo introduction of modern Guangdong (Canton Fair, Hi-Tech Fair, Aviation Expo), etc. Let children always feel the local culture of Guangdong, feel the spirit of local culture, experience the characteristics of local culture, and have a sense of identity and pride in the exquisiteness and Excellence of local culture and art in Guangdong.

2. Visit+Experience

What children see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears is the way for children to obtain information and accumulate experience, and their understanding and creation of Guangdong local culture also begins here. Teachers should create opportunities for children to enter local life and learn more about local life characteristics in Guangdong. In this process, the guidance of teachers is very important. Teachers should spend more time preparing instead of attending classes, and consider such issues as visiting routes, road safety, guidance on key issues of visiting, interview questions and polite education for children. This way seems simple, but in essence it is an activity with high responsibility and high efficiency. For example, visit the great former residence of Sun Yat-sen; Meteorological station, visit the Spring Festival flower market; Experience Kung Fu Tea: Life in Guangdong is pleasant. The pure fragrance of Kung Fu tea not only charmed Cantonese people, but also attracted many foreign friends. In the theme teaching, the teacher takes tea culture as a part of children's understanding of Guangdong people's life, and takes the children to visit the Chaoshan Kung Fu Tea Village in Guangdong Province to taste Kung Fu tea. Especially in Guangdong, morning tea and herbal tea are indispensable to the lives of children in Guangdong, and their experience has been going on; There is a saying that "food is in Guangdong", and diet often contains rich human and historical resources to a certain extent. The precipitation of traditional history and the development of modern economy have formed many delicious and unique flavor foods. Taking children to taste Cantonese cuisine and experience the food culture in their hometown further sublimated their feelings for Guangdong local culture.

3. Autonomy+expression:

Children understand other people's thoughts and emotions through language, express their feelings, opinions and wishes through language, and pour out their feelings. Guangdong's cultural content enriches children's language environment, increases children's knowledge, broadens and deepens children's knowledge and understanding of surrounding things, promotes children's thinking development, and cultivates children's good oral expression ability. For example, in the "Charming Guangdong" specialty exhibition, children, with the help of their parents, investigate and collect information about Guangdong specialty products, and initially understand their sources, origins, characteristics and functions. In the form of "narrator", let children introduce themselves and convey the information they have collected to other children. Through the vivid introduction of the children, the language expression ability has been improved, and the love for hometown has also sprouted.

4. Example+Education

Understand the history of Guangdong, the deeds of local great men and national heroes, and further enhance national self-confidence and pride. For example, through Sun Yat-sen's series of stories, children's perseverance and courage are cultivated, and they are not afraid of difficulties and have the courage to make progress; In the teaching activities of "Humen Smoke", teachers invited children to enjoy the films and exhibitions of Humen Smoke, held discussion activities on what to learn from Lin Zexu, and inspired children to love their motherland and hometown.

Third, the local theme is close to children's life experience and rich in theme resources, which is conducive to the promotion of activities.

In fact, children living in Guangdong and in kindergartens can feel the local culture of Guangdong more or less. There are many things that children encounter and experience in their daily lives, and the learning resources are very rich, which is conducive to the promotion of activities. Therefore, to carry out theme activities with Guangdong local characteristics, teachers should take children as the center, listen to children's voices, ponder children's needs, seize children's interests in time, find valuable content in conversations with children, and excavate, screen and sort out these resources to design theme activities with Guangdong local characteristics suitable for kindergarten children's age characteristics.

1, Guangdong is rich in human and natural resources;

People in < 1 >: historical figures and celebrities. (Sun Yat-sen, Lin Zexu, Hong Rong, etc. ) < 2 > architecture: four famous gardens in Guangdong, enclosed houses in xiguan big house and Meixian, modern buildings, etc. < 3 > Guangdong art and culture: Cantonese opera, national musical instruments, Guangdong folk songs, Guangdong music, Guangdong folk arts and crafts, etc. < 4 > Life: Food culture (morning tea, herbal tea, Cantonese cuisine, specialty products, fruit town, etc. Folk culture (Spring Festival, lion dance, dragon boat race, floating colors in Shawan, etc. Modern Guangdong development (Canton Fair, Hi-Tech Fair, Aerospace Expo, etc.). Natural resources include: geographical location, places of interest, climate characteristics, etc.

2, choose the development theme content:

Since it is a theme with local characteristics, it is necessary to choose the content that best represents Guangdong culture from the children's actual experience and interest, combined with their life practice and cultural environment. For example, the Guangdong doll theme of the big class: Health: Bamboo Ladder Competition, Little Huang Feihong Climbing the Peak, Lion Dance PK Competition and Dragon Boat Race. Socio-cultural aspects: Flower City Style,

Canton Fair, Cantonese cuisine, Cantonese dim sum party, Charming Guangdong Specialty Exhibition, Guangdong Folk Rain, Guangdong Music Concert, Cantonese opera masters enjoying Xin Nuhong's Ode to Litchi and Guangdong Cantonese nursery rhyme Moonlight; Humen Smoke, Sun Yat-sen's Story, Guangdong Kung Fu Tea, Lingnan Architecture, Guangdong Meixian Wai House, Guangdong Zhijin Porcelain. Natural science and technology: Pearl River and Nanling, typhoon, subtropical fruit platter, round longan, sweet, time prompt: Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, etc.

3, can make full use of human resources at all levels, to carry out the theme service.

Teaching with local characteristics can be applied to all levels of people's support, such as parents, local people, community-related institutions and so on. Because it is beyond the ability of a single teacher to do a good job in 9th grade, we must combine the resources of the community and family to achieve real teaching effect and serve the inheritance of local culture.

1, parents' "volunteer team"

Parents' participation makes children feel the physical and mental pleasure brought by local culture. Children will prefer this land full of local culture. Teachers should fully tap the potential educational resources of parents and let parents and children know about Guangdong local culture through various forms: please ask parents with special skills to be "teaching assistants" and participate in teaching; Ask parents to help collect pictures, photos, books, audio-visual materials, etc. about Guangdong folk customs when carrying out theme activities about Guangdong local characteristics; By taking children to travel, introduce them to the famous places of interest in Guangdong.

2. Parents Salon:

Through the parent salon, we can communicate with each other and learn about Guangdong culture. Contribute to the inheritance of Guangdong local culture. For example, in the activity of "Guangdong Dim Sum Party", parents are invited to have morning tea with their children in the form of parents salon, so that everyone can share the name and taste of their dim sum and exchange the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine.

3. Community activities:

In various communities in Guangdong, there are often "fans' clubs" and "social parties" set up by Cantonese opera lovers, taking children to enjoy or invite them to perform, and combining with the community to carry out cultural performances or traditional entertainment activities for the community masses, which is very helpful for children to understand Guangdong culture in depth.

4. Parent-child activities:

Parent-child activities related to local characteristic themes can better serve the inheritance of local culture. For example, the theme of "Guangdong Doll" in the big class, combined with the "Canton Fair" to carry out the "small market" activities, parents and children are ready to buy and sell the needed goods (such as books, toys, ornaments, etc.). ) together, and after discussion together, mark the goods at reasonable prices, buy and sell them in kindergartens, and donate the money earned to children in welfare homes, reflecting the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation.

Fourth, respect multiculturalism and promote harmonious development.

Today is the era of the integration of Chinese and western cultures. The value of multiculturalism emphasizes people's diverse lifestyles and provides a more modern life culture. Only by carrying out education with local characteristics, starting with local culture, embracing other cultures and paying attention to respecting the value of multiculturalism can kindergartens cultivate national feelings and world outlook and promote the harmonious development of young children. While carrying out education with local characteristics, children also feel the charm of western culture. For example, when the local Guangdong cultural theme "Guangdong Doll" was launched in kindergarten, the teacher asked the children to enjoy Guangdong music and western symphonies and feel the contrast. Although the instruments are different, they all play beautiful music; Children like to eat Cantonese food and western food. It is not only like Andersen's fairy tales, but also like local fairy tales, guiding children to feel multiculturalism, broadening their horizons and promoting harmonious development.
