Teaching plan of "Playing with Mud" in kindergarten class

Design intention:

In rural areas, soil can be found everywhere. Many children like to beat and knead mud to experience the pleasure of creating and contacting nature, which has almost become an important part of their happy childhood. Using soil, a rich natural resource, can guide children to acquire knowledge about soil and develop their exploration ability. In order to let children play freely and freely, it is best to arrange this activity as a half-day activity in summer.

Purpose:

1. Perceive the characteristics of soil and the relationship between water content and soil humidity.

2. Experience the fun of free creation.

Preparation:

1. Find a safe muddy ground with water in advance (preferably near the rice field).

2. Help children gain the experience of playing with sand.

3. cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, buckets, waste newspapers, etc.

4. Give the children a good manicure.

process:

1. Look at the mud

1. Lead children to the mud, guide them to step on it with their feet, poke the mud with branches, and talk about their feelings.

2. Ask the children to grab a few handfuls of dry soil from different places and put them on the waste newspaper to see what is hidden in the soil (pebbles, leaves, grass roots, etc.), and ask the children to separate them from the soil.

3. what does the soil look like after removing impurities? How does it feel to rub it with your hands?

4. Ask children to hit the soil with stones to see what will happen to them. Tell children that soil is made up of these smaller soil particles.

5. Guide children to talk about the difference between mud and sand through memories.

2. Mud

1. Is there any way to make these dry mud wet? (add water. )

2. Ask children to take water in various ways to wet the soil, and feel the difference between dry soil and wet soil and the relationship between the amount of water added and the soil humidity.

3. Encourage children to communicate with each other and feel the mud while eating it. For example, if the soil is too wet, it will be too soft to form; If the soil is too dry, it will be too hard to knead.

4. Guide children to discuss: What methods can make dry mud wet and wet mud dry?

5. Help children to make mud lumps with moderate hardness and elasticity.

3. Play with mud

1. Play with children freely, encourage them to communicate freely while playing, and guide them to learn from each other.

2. Ask individual children to introduce their own methods of playing with mud, so as to expand other children's thinking.

① Rub the mud into a ball and roll it on the ground to make it stick with leaves, pebbles, etc. to form a "super ball".

② String several clay balls together with branches to make "mutton kebabs" and "dried tofu kebabs" to play the game of "barbecue shop".

③ Paste the mud directly outside the glass bottle or plastic bottle to make a simple "mud bottle", and carve the branches outside the bottle or stick the leaves into your favorite patterns.

(4) Make the earth into a big cake, engrave patterns on it with branches, or shred leaves and sprinkle them on it as chopped green onion, sesame seeds, etc.

⑤ pinch the lovely clay doll and decorate the details with branches and stones.

3. Encourage children to walk freely and watch and learn from each other.

4. lead children to do "firecrackers" together.

① Everyone is having such a good time. Let's make a "cannon" with mud!

② The teacher demonstrates the method of "firing a cannon": round a fist-sized mud, dig a hole in the middle of the mud with your thumb, then turn the mud with your thumb, and cooperate with your forefinger to make it bowl-shaped. Finally, pinch the bottom of the bowl to make it thinner than other parts.

③ The teacher demonstrates "shooting": firstly, hold up the "sounding gun", and then buckle it upside down on the ground (preferably on a slate). Pushed by the air, the "cannon" will burst and make a noise.

④ Ask children to learn to make, enjoy free games and remind them to pay attention to safety. At the same time, the teacher made a "big bowl" with mud for later use.

Fourth, make a "small lake" with mud

1. The teacher poured water into the "big bowl" just made to inspire children to see what this "big bowl" looks like. Ponds, lakes, swimming pools, etc. )

2. Guide children to carefully observe whether this "big bowl" leaks water and explain why.

3. Ask children to imagine: What will happen if this "big bowl" is put in the wild? (For example, the rain will be crisp, the sun will crack, and the wind will dry. )

4. Ask the children to put leaves in the "small lake" as boats, small fish, etc., and make an agreement with the children to see the results the next day.

5. Inspire children to clean up the mud playing ground so as not to pollute the environment. Before leaving, please ask each child to bring a masterpiece back to the garden, and inspire children to put some fertile soil in plastic bags to go back to the garden to raise flowers.

Activity extension:

1. Ask children to dry their works and then color them to experience the fun of making.

2. If possible, lead children to a nearby brick factory or ceramic factory to watch workers making bricks and ceramics.
