How do teachers prepare for different festivals in kindergartens?

On different festivals, kindergarten teachers will take children to make some handicrafts. As we all know, as a kindergarten teacher, the most basic skill is manual work. At the beginning of each semester or when some large-scale activities are held, kindergarten teachers need to create an environment, and this skill of a kindergarten teacher basically runs through the entire semester. , on the eve of some festivals, teachers will introduce the origin and some history of this festival in the classroom, and look for some related songs and games to guide children to understand related festivals and know the meaning of the festival.

In addition, the most important thing is to do some handicrafts. On the eve of New Year's Day, kindergarten teachers may collect some materials for making handmade lanterns and cardboard firecrackers, and lead children to make festive handicrafts. On Father's Day, Mother's Day and Double Ninth Festival, we will also make related handicrafts and write blessings for the children to take home and give to their parents. Some activities will also be held during the Dragon Boat Festival, allowing parents to go to the kindergarten to participate in activities such as making rice dumplings with their children.

In fact, as a kindergarten teacher, I have a love-hate relationship with some holidays. What I love is that I can finally have a holiday and rest, but what I hate is that my workload will inevitably increase. Although the Ministry of Education does not explicitly stipulate that kindergartens must carry out handicrafts during festivals, this seems to be a tacit agreement reached by all kindergartens. Kindergartens still attach great importance to handicrafts. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the festival can not only cultivate and exercise children's hands-on skills, but also make the festival more ritualistic and meaningful.

Although handmade works are not very valuable, they are all made by teachers and children themselves, and contain the best wishes for the festival from teachers and children. As a kindergarten teacher, although it sometimes feels tedious and boring, Always enjoying it. So, when you receive these handmade works, please don’t dislike them. These are blessings carefully prepared by kindergarten teachers for the festival, and they are also the best wishes for children.
