The Mid-Autumn Festival happens every year, and the most important thing in children’s minds is the activity of eating mooncakes. In order to allow children to experience the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival in many aspects, it is important to pay attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival has a deeper impression, so I organized children to discuss how to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Teacher: The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. It happens every year. Do you still remember how we celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?

Young: Make mooncakes with flour, eat mooncakes, and knead mooncakes with plasticine.

Teacher: So how do you plan to celebrate this year? Any good ideas?

Young: I also want to make mooncakes myself.

Young: Even if it’s not delicious when cooked, it’s still delicious when you buy it.

Young: Please come to the kindergarten to eat mooncakes with us!

Young: My parents have to go to work and don’t have time to come.

Child: Then invite the grandparents.

Teacher: Why don’t we invite the younger brothers and sisters from the small class to our class to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us! Young: OK! good! (The children were in high spirits and clamored to be invited)

Teacher: Wow! So many children want to invite you, you are so enthusiastic. But with so many people passing by, the teachers and younger brothers and sisters in the small class would be shocked.

Young: I’ll go, the teacher lets me go. (Many children raised their hands high and stood up, very positive.

)

Young: The teacher said there are too many people, so please invite a few children.

Teacher: Then how to invite? What should you say to the small class teacher when inviting?

Young: Just ask your younger brothers and sisters to come to our class.

Young: It must be the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise how would the teacher know what to do.

Teacher: If we children invite our younger brothers and sisters, their teachers may be worried. What should we do? Young: Tell their teacher that we will be careful, and hold the hands of your younger siblings while walking. Young: Going up and down the stairs will be slow.

Young:. . . . . .

When they came up, they held the hands of younger brothers and sisters slowly Walking in slowly, some children kept holding the hands of their younger siblings to help them find empty seats, and some even gave up their seats to their younger siblings, which was very considerate.

(The children are very polite and take good care of the safety of their younger brothers and sisters. They are exactly like big brothers and big sisters. After the activity, I communicated with the teacher of Class A and commented on the children’s performance. The evaluation was also very good, and the language expression of several bold children was very fluent and clear when inviting)

Excerpt 4: The Origin and Legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival

Teacher: Yesterday, the teacher invited the children to come back. My parents and I went to the computer to look for information about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Can you introduce it now?

Young: My mother said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is our Chinese festival. There was a story about Chang'e flying to the moon a long time ago. After Chang'e flew to the moon, everyone missed her very much, so they chose to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon was at its fullest. Worship the moon on that day.

Young: The book says that August 15th of the lunar calendar is the middle of autumn, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon on August 15th is brighter and brighter than the moon in other months.

Young: On the Mid-Autumn Festival, people try their best to reunite with their families.

Young: Chinese people have the custom of eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. (Reciting a children's song): August and fifteenth are the first days of the year. Mid-Autumn moon cakes are fragrant and sweet.

Younger: (Reciting a children’s song) It’s August and fifteenth, and Grandma Moon’s birthday is here. Sweet moon cakes with red persimmons, apples, pomegranates and purple grapes were given to my mother-in-law for her birthday, and she smiled at us.

Young: My mother said we can also eat fruit.

(In advance, I mobilized parents and children to search for information on the Internet together. Some parents were very considerate and printed out some relevant knowledge and appreciation, and some even taught their children children's songs or songs for the Mid-Autumn Festival. , so many children have a certain understanding of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the children were very active and engaged in the conversation during the conversation, and the effect was good)

After the children spoke freely, I told them about the Mid-Autumn Festival. We also used modern technology to find a lot of Mid-Autumn Festival-related songs, greeting cards, animations and other artistic things on the computer for the children to watch. The children liked it very much.

7. Activity characteristics:

During the implementation of this theme activity, the following characteristics are mainly reflected:

1. Based on life, select materials Close to the lives of young children. Teachers use this activity as an entry point to allow children to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the stories, nursery rhymes, and folk activities about the Mid-Autumn Festival. . . . . . Children love to hear and see such activities, which truly have the value of promoting the development of young children.

2. Based on freedom, choose activities flexibly. Today's courses emphasize comprehensiveness, practice, and openness. In this series of activities, from organizing visits, searching for information, inviting younger brothers and sisters from the small class to taste mooncakes, and painting to express content, it can be seen that the identity of children as learning subjects runs through the entire process of the activity.

3. The activities have a deeper and wider scope. They not only focus on celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also focus on exploring other values ??of the festival and focusing on the stimulation and cultivation of children's multi-faceted abilities.

The origin and legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival

The legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival is very rich, such as Chang'e flying to the moon, Wu Gang cutting osmanthus, and the Jade Rabbit pounding the moon. Mythical stories about medicine are widely circulated. One of the legends of the Mid-Autumn Festival - Chang'e flying to the moon

According to legend, in ancient times, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, which caused the crops to wither and the people to live in dire straits. A hero named Hou Yi, who was extremely powerful, sympathized with the suffering people. The common people climbed to the top of the Kunlun Mountains, exerted their magical power, drew their magical bows, and shot down more than nine suns at once, and strictly ordered the last sun to rise and set on time to benefit the people.

As a result, Hou Yi was respected and loved by the people. Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind-hearted wife named Chang'e. In addition to spreading his skills and hunting, Hou Yi stayed with his wife all day long. People envied this loving couple with talent and beauty.

Many people with lofty ideals came here to learn from Tou Shi, and Peng Meng with evil intentions also got in.

One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek enlightenment. He happened to meet the Queen Mother who was passing by, and asked the Queen Mother for a package of elixir. It is said that if you take this medicine, you can immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang'e for collection. Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box on the dressing table. Unexpectedly, the villain Peng Meng saw it. He wanted to steal the elixir and become an immortal himself.

Three days later, Hou Yi led his disciples to go hunting. Peng Meng, who had evil intentions, pretended to be sick and stayed. Soon after Hou Yi led everyone away, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir. Chang'e knew that she was no match for Peng Meng. In the critical moment, she made a prompt decision, turned around, opened the treasure box, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and her body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew to the sky. Because Chang'e cared about her husband, she flew to the moon closest to the world and became an immortal.

In the evening, Hou Yi returned home, and the maids cried about what happened during the day. Hou Yi was frightened and angry, so he drew his sword to kill the villain, but Peng Meng had already escaped. Hou Yi was so angry that he beat his chest and was heartbroken. He looked up at the night sky and called out the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that the moon today was particularly special. It is bright and bright, and there is a swaying figure that looks like Chang'e. He chased the moon desperately, but he chased three steps, the moon took three steps back, he took three steps back, and the moon took three steps forward. No matter what, he couldn't catch up.

Hou Yi had no choice but to miss his wife, so he had to send people to Chang'e's favorite back garden, set up an incense table, put her favorite sweetmeats and fresh fruits, and offer sacrifices to him in the moon palace. of Chang'e. After the common people heard the news that Chang'e flew to the moon and became an immortal, they set up incense tables under the moon and prayed to the kind-hearted Chang'e for good luck and peace.

Since then, the custom of worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival

Every year on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, it is our country’s traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. This is also the second largest traditional festival in our country after the Spring Festival.

In the Chinese lunar calendar, a year is divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called Zhongqiu. The moon on August 15th is rounder and brighter than the full moon in other months, so it is also called Moon Eve, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, August Meeting, Moon Chasing Festival, Moon Playing Festival, and Moon Worshiping Festival. , Girls' Day or Reunion Festival are traditional cultural festivals popular among many ethnic groups across the country. This night, when people look up at the bright moon in the sky, they naturally look forward to family reunions. Wanderers who are far away from home also use this to express their longing for their hometown and relatives. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the "Reunion Festival".

It is said that the moon is closest to the earth on this night, and the moon is the largest and brightest. Therefore, there has been a custom of drinking and feasting to admire the moon since ancient times. The daughter-in-law who returns to her parents' home must return to her husband's home on this day to celebrate perfection and good luck. meaning.

There are also some places that set the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 16, such as Ningbo, Taizhou, and Zhoushan. This is consistent with the fact that when Fang Guozhen occupied Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the attacks of Yuan Dynasty officers and soldiers and Zhu Yuantian, "the fourteenth day of the first lunar month was changed to Lantern Festival, "August 16th is the Mid-Autumn Festival". In addition, in Hong Kong, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the excitement is still not over, and there is another carnival on the 11th night, called "Chasing the Moon".

The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in the book "Zhou Rites", and it was in the Tang Dynasty that it truly became a national festival. Our people have had the custom of "autumn twilight and evening moon" in ancient times. On the eve of the moon, worship the moon god. By the Zhou Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night would be held to welcome the cold and worship the moon. Set up a large incense table and place moon cakes, watermelons, apples, dates, plums, grapes and other sacrifices. Moon cakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable. The watermelon should also be cut into lotus shapes. Under the moon, the moon statue is placed in the direction of the moon, with red candles burning high. The whole family worships the moon in turn, and then the housewife cuts the reunion moon cakes. The person who cuts the food must calculate in advance how many people are in the family. Those who are at home and those who are out of town must be counted together. They cannot cut more or less, and the sizes must be the same.

In the Tang Dynasty, admiring and playing with the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival was quite popular. In the Northern Song Dynasty, on the night of August 15th, people all over the city, rich and poor, old and young, would wear adult clothes, burn incense, worship the moon, express their wishes, and pray for the blessing of the moon god. In the Southern Song Dynasty, people gave each other mooncakes as gifts to symbolize reunion. In some places, there are activities such as dancing grass dragons and building pagodas. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival have become more popular. In many places, special customs such as burning incense sticks, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting tower lanterns, releasing sky lanterns, walking on the moon, and dancing fire dragons have been formed.

Today, the custom of playing under the moon is far less popular than in the past. However, it is still very popular to hold banquets to admire the moon. People drink wine to celebrate the wonderful life, or wish their relatives far away to be healthy and happy, and to "live thousands of miles away" with their families.

There are many Mid-Autumn Festival customs and different forms, but they all express people's infinite love for life and yearning for a better life.
