How to tap festival resources to serve teaching?

The Outline of Civic Morality Construction points out: "Various important festivals and anniversaries contain valuable moral education resources." Carrying out traditional festival education is an effective carrier to carry forward traditional virtues and cultivate students' national spirit. Our school takes the traditional festivals as an opportunity to carry out a series of moral education activities, so that students can have a deeper understanding of the origins and customs of traditional festivals, cultivate students' interest in traditional festivals, and thus stimulate students' sense of mission to carry forward and inherit national culture.

First, understanding "our festival" is deeply rooted in the rich festival culture.

"Our Festival" refers to our own traditional festival in China. It is a beautiful, happy and hopeful festival with the unique feelings and culture of China people. Every festival, such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, contains touching legends, colorful stories and rich customs. In order to make traditional festivals achieve the expected educational purpose, we strive to find the breakthrough point of education contained in each festival. First of all, the school used the Monday morning meeting "Speaking under the National Flag" to publicize the traditional festival culture, telling students the origin of the festival, the customs handed down by the ancients, and good suggestions for activities. , vigorously create a rich cultural atmosphere of traditional festivals on campus, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm and passion of students. Secondly, the squadron organized students to carry out a survey of festival folk culture. Through the division of labor in groups, collect and sort out materials, make a relevant handwritten newspaper and blackboard newspaper, and then post those illustrated and rich blackboard newspapers in the class cultural garden, so that they will have a lasting appeal to students and thus receive the effect of "listening". Finally, each class carries out squadron activities. By telling the origin, customs and legends of traditional festivals, reciting classic poems about festivals, and performing a song and dance sketch program about related festivals, students can create a unique festival atmosphere on the basis of understanding the rich connotation of traditional festivals, thus deeply planting rich festival culture in their hearts.

For example, when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, slogans are hung in eye-catching places on campus, and lanterns and riddles made by students are hung in classrooms and corridors, creating a strong festive atmosphere. Holding "Moonlight in how bright at home!" Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and let students know its rich connotation. New Year's Day is coming, the classroom is newly decorated, lanterns, window grilles and Chinese knots are full of festive atmosphere, and the squadron members have begun to plan activities to welcome the New Year-Spring Festival Poetry Club to welcome the New Year. Creating a rich festive atmosphere, like continuous spring rain, exerts a subtle influence on students' spiritual world.

Second, actively participate in practical activities and let the essence of traditional festivals permeate the soul.

In order to let students better experience the happiness of traditional festivals, the school has carried out a series of moral education practice activities of "Our Festival", so that every team member can actively participate in various forms of festival activities, experience various skills, cultivate good moral sentiments and fully feel the infinite charm of China traditional culture.

The singing of ancient poems about spring and Qingming, such as Cold Food, Qingming, Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night and Farewell to the Ancient Grassland, immersed the students in the influence of Chinese culture. At the class meeting, we also invited Grandpa Zhang Shude, an old soldier who is over eighty years old, to tell the students a revolutionary story, so that the students can receive a good revolutionary tradition education, cherish today's happy life more and study hard.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is not only a festival to remember our ancestors, but also a good time for spring outing.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China, which contains rich traditional cultural connotations of China. In order to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, all classes in our school launched "Our Festival? Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion "class meeting activities. Each squadron fully combined with the scholarly campus activities created by the school, first arranged for the team members to understand the symbolic significance between the full moon and reunion, consulted the myths and legends about the Mid-Autumn Festival, recited a poem about appreciating the moon and reunion, then extended the activities from the school to the students' families, took photos of family reunion, enjoyed the moon by themselves, and finally invited their families to participate in the theme class meeting.

September is the golden time of the year, and it is a season full of educational opportunities. Every year when the Double Ninth Festival comes, in order to broaden children's horizons, enrich children's knowledge, let children get close to nature and experience the fun of group activities, our school will carry out the autumn outing of "Green Travel, Happy Picnic".

The children lined up neatly, followed the teacher to climb on foot, smelled the flowers, looked at the scenery, and cheered in the embrace of nature like a lark. After each class set up camp, colorful activities began: passing the ball under their feet, skipping rope and kicking shuttlecock, the "Karaoke" contest in the wild ... Near noon, the "picnic" began, and the children took out their own delicious food and shared it with their classmates. The autumn tour of Chongyang Mountain has increased children's knowledge, exercised their will and enhanced their friendship. "Autumn" really entered the children's eyes and hearts.

The Double Ninth Festival is also a festival to respect the elderly. In order to enable students to better inherit the traditional Chinese virtues of respecting, respecting and loving the elderly, squadrons in our school carry out squadron activities with the theme of "Double Ninth Festival". The team members talk about Chongyang, sing Chongyang and perform Chongyang, and preach all virtues and filial piety first through sketches, stories and three-character classics of respecting the elderly. When the affectionate songs "Grateful Heart" and "The Most Beautiful Sunset Red" sounded, the students presented gifts and holiday cards to their grandparents who came to participate in this activity, wishing the old people good health and happy life in their later years. Finally, the squadron counselor also arranged a special homework: to visit the elderly in the nursing home, beat their backs, wash their feet, and share some housework. The development of these activities is a good traditional festival education and gratitude education, which has won the praise of the elders.

Five ancient poems and new songs to celebrate the New Year

The new year is coming. In order to create a campus atmosphere of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, we held a New Year's Poetry Meeting of "Meeting in Spring". At the welcoming poetry meeting, Poetry of Spring runs through the whole program. Students create and write, direct and perform, take selfies and take photos. The performance is rich and colorful, and the recitation of ancient poems and the delivery of parcels are refreshing; Crosstalk sketches make people laugh and sing and dance. Cheers, applause, and blessings from squadrons came and went, and the campus was filled with a cheerful festive atmosphere.

The "Our Festival" series of activities brought children into close contact with the traditional festival culture. After a festival with cultural connotation, they not only increased their knowledge, cultivated their sentiments, exercised their abilities, but also were baptized.

At present, many primary school students are keen to celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving and other foreign festivals, but they are indifferent or even indifferent to the traditional festivals in China. In this situation, it is of great significance for our school to attach importance to the moral education function and value contained in Chinese traditional cultural festivals and tap their humanistic spirit. From the experience of organizing activities in our school, we can know that moral education in primary schools will bloom beautiful flowers only if it is rooted in the rich soil of traditional cultural festivals.
