Caterpillar turns into butterfly

Activity background

During the "Cute Bugs" theme activity, various small bugs became the focus of children's attention. The magical process of caterpillars turning into butterflies particularly attracted everyone. Children like to look at the textbook pictures of caterpillars turning into butterflies, and the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in the library corner has also become their favorite. I found that the theme "Caterpillar turns into butterfly" is very suitable for dance creation. Therefore, the animation courseware and music of "Caterpillar Transforms into Butterfly" were carefully produced. With the help of animation and music with distinct sections, children can feel the rhythm and changes of the music, and use various body postures to express the transformation process from caterpillar to butterfly. This not only meets the interests and needs of young children, but also helps them experience the fun of free expression and creative performance.

Activity Design

The children in this class are about 6 years old. Children of this age love to learn. He is inquisitive, has a strong desire for knowledge and creation, and his awareness of cooperation and rules has gradually increased. The theme of my class this month is "I'm Strange, I Discovered". Under the theme, we carried out many theme-related activities. During the activity, we also led the children to watch many videos and pictures of virgin forests. In a video of the African virgin forest, some scenes of African life appeared, and the children were very interested in their clothing and lifestyle. So I came up with the idea of ??letting children learn about Africa. But Africa is far away from us. How to find an entry point really makes me think hard. I looked up a lot of information and finally learned about their unique way of greeting. In this activity, I used games as a carrier, and under the influence and prompts of music, I let the children feel the enthusiasm and unique culture of Africans.

Reflection after the class

I don’t think this is a perfect class, but the end of the class gave me a surprise. , giving them full freedom to express themselves and fully experience the dance moves and African enthusiasm through the masquerade.

At the beginning of the class, I designed a section called "Feeling Rhythmic Movements". The children were very interested, and the atmosphere in the class immediately became lively. They rushed to talk about the movements they knew and saw. The children feel, see and do this process by themselves, with the teacher just guiding them from the front.

This class gave me a lot of feelings and inspiration. Of course, there are also regrets and shortcomings, that is: I was in a hurry to prepare for the activities, and I did not grasp the rhythm of the music very well. There is room for improvement in future teaching careers.
