Kindergarten small class lesson plan "Cat Catching Mouse" 1

Design intention:

"Cat Catching Mouse" is a children's song full of childlike interest, rich scenarios and distinctive rhythm. Based on the characteristics of children in small classes who are in the transition period from intuitive action thinking to concrete image thinking and whose emotions are exposed and unstable, we focus on gamification and situationalization when designing activities, allowing children to act as mice playing, eating rice, sleeping, etc. Feel the melody and lyrics of music repeatedly in different situations, learn to distinguish the speed of music, and truly learn through play and learn music.

Goals:

1. Familiar with music melody and willing to express it through movements.

2. Able to hear and respond to the portamento part in music, and learn to abide by the rules of the game.

3. Actively participate in the game in a relaxed and enjoyable game environment.

Preparation:

Experience preparation: The children have learned the first three sections of the song "Cat and Mouse", and the teacher in charge plays the role of the big cat.

Material preparation: Place homemade three-dimensional trees, flowers, mushrooms, etc. in the activity venue, complete and segmented versions of the music "Cat and Mouse", and several cat and mouse chest ornaments.

Process:

1. Little mice eat rice

Teacher: Listen, what are the mouse babies doing? (Play the first three pieces of music from "Cat and Mouse".)

Teacher: You can run around ? Who can run around gently? (Children perform actions individually and collectively.)

2. Make movements to the music.

Teacher: Oops, I’m so hungry. Are you hungry? Let’s go out to find some rice together! (Guide the children to make movements according to the changes of the music in the middle of the venue.)

Teacher: How does the rice taste? How do you eat rice? (Please Demonstration by individual children)

3. Behave again.

Teacher: What kind of rice do you want to eat? Let’s go look for it together. (Encourage children to try to use different actions to express the behavior of "eating".)

Teacher: Babies, after eating so much rice, let us go back and take a rest!

Teacher (Summary ): Some of the baby mice just now will run around gently, and they will eat bites of rice when they find it. These baby mice are really capable!

(Analysis: The teacher and the children played the roles of the mother mouse and the mouse respectively. Baby, guide young children to have experiences consistent with music emotions through listening)

2. The big cat is coming

1. Listen to the music.

Teacher: Listen, who is here? What is it doing? (Play the fourth verse of the song.)

Teacher: Where did you hear it?

Teacher: When did the big cat discover the little mouse? (Listen again to the portamento part in the fourth piece of music.)

2. Make the rules of the game clear.

Teacher: What should we do when we hear the big cat’s cry?

Teacher: Yes, we must run home quickly together.

(Analysis: This link contains the rules of the game: Only when the big cat makes a "meow" can the mouse babies scatter and escape. This portamento gives the children an important reminder. The teacher needs to guide the children to listen carefully and gradually Mastering the rules of the game is also the guarantee for the smooth development of the game)

Teacher: When did the big cat come out? When did it go to catch mice? (Help the children sort out the plot of the game and match it with the music.)

Teacher: Who wants to be a big cat?

3. Guide children to change hiding places to play games.

Teacher: If we go to find rice far away from home, and the big cat comes, where can we hide? (For example, behind a big tree, behind a flower bush, etc.) (Game in progress After 2 to 3 times, the teacher gradually exits the game)

(Analysis: The "catch" and "escape" between the big cat and the mouse are full of plot and interesting, and the children enjoy the pursuit and escape. In this process, the teacher exits at the right time and encourages the children to play the role of the big cat. In order to enhance the fun, the teacher also guides the "mouse babies" to choose different places to hide, which not only prevents the children from being crowded, but also prompts the children to figure out how to avoid being caught by the big cat. How to catch it. )

Teacher: Babies, let’s go further afield to find out what kind of rice we can eat.

Teachers constantly add new stimuli and challenges by changing the gameplay, so that children can always maintain positive emotions in the game.

Third, exit at the right time. After the children are familiar with the rules of the game, the teacher gives the children time and opportunities to learn independently, gradually reduces the language prompts, guides the children to listen to the music attentively, and gives hints through expressions and body movements until they completely quit. The children were all eager to try in the natural and relaxed game atmosphere, and their enthusiasm was high. Kindergarten small class lesson plan "Cat and Mouse" 2

Two days ago, on a very dark night, all the little animals in the forest fell asleep (the music went from strong to weak). Mom, I walked out of the cave quietly, looking for something to eat. But I was afraid of being discovered by the old cat, so I walked around and took a look (music of mice running) and I found a lot of delicious food, so I ate big and hard (music of eating) and I was so full. ah!

Reflection on the activity:

"Cat and Mouse" is a children's song full of childlike interest, rich scenes, and distinctive rhythm. . Based on the fact that the thinking of small class children is in the transition period from intuitive action thinking to concrete image thinking and the characteristics of emotional exposure and instability, I mainly used teaching methods such as performance method, game method, and situational method to guide children to act as children. In different situations such as playing, eating rice, and hiding, mice repeatedly feel the melody and lyrics of music, improve their sensitivity and expressiveness of music, and truly learn by playing and having fun.

"Cat Catching" "Mouse" is divided into four sections. Except for the changes in the lyrics, the rest of the rhythm and speed have not changed. Moreover, the entire song is very compact and fast. As a small class game class, it is relatively difficult. So I boldly innovated the content, and while keeping the original music elements unchanged, I designed the music into several separate sections, namely the mouse running, eating, and the cat coming. In order to make the music more vivid , I added a meow from the opera in front of "The Cat Is Coming", and asked the class teacher to play the old cat, which made the game more realistic and vivid, maximized the enthusiasm of the children, and inspired the children's interest.
