I. Activity background:
One activity this week was to take the children to the park to observe the autumn scene. On the way back, they passed the fruit stand. The children were very excited to see all kinds of fruits, and cried as if they had found a treasure: "There are so many fruits, including apples and bananas ...", "I have eaten bananas and kiwifruit. What kind of fruit is that I have never seen ...". Many children began to talk about fruits, exchanging information about the fruits they had eaten and the fruits they knew and didn't know.
Second, the activity:
Fruit family is favored by people because of its colorful, different shapes, delicious taste and rich nutrition. It is very attractive to young children and a material source for their healthy growth. It is something that children directly contact every day. However, this kind of contact is mostly a natural contact and a vague and chaotic perception. Active constructive learning requires us to guide children to meaningful learning, and to guide children to change from unorganized and undifferentiated perception to meaningful and structured perception reorganization. So I designed the theme activity "Fruit".
Activity 1: All kinds of fruits.
I. Activity objectives:
1, can boldly and clearly say the names, shapes, tastes and other characteristics of various fruits that you have seen or eaten.
2. Feel the variety of fruits.
3. Stimulate children's interest in boldly expressing and communicating in front of the group.
4. Teach children to develop a careful and serious learning attitude.
Second, the activity preparation:
1, before the activity, organize children to visit the fruit market and find all kinds of fruits.
2. Various fruit pictures, wall charts, objects or models are arranged in the activity room.
3. Each group has a "treasure chest" with various fruits in it.
4. Collect all kinds of fruits.
Third, the activity process:
1, through memories and communication, you can boldly and clearly say the name of the fruit.
Teacher: Children, do you remember where we visited yesterday? What fruit did you find in the fruit market? Are there any of our teachers? (Introduce the children individually after free communication, and point out the corresponding fruits)
Young A: I found the apple.
B: I found a banana. I've tasted it so sweet.
Young C: I found lychee. My father said it was a southern fruit. Teacher, which fruit is called?
D: That's mangosteen. I've eaten it. I bought it in the supermarket.
(Analysis: At the beginning of the activity, children's interest in understanding is very strong, and they also ask questions, which shows that fruits are deeply attractive to children. According to the characteristics of children, I designed the next activity.)
2. Perceive the characteristics of various fruits by "touching fruits".
Teacher: Teacher, there is a "treasure chest" with a lot of fruits in it. I'm going to ask the children to touch it. After touching it, I can take one out and see if you recognize it. Say its name, shape and color.
Young A: Teacher, I touched it. It looks like an apple.
Teacher: You can take it out and have a look.
Young a: yeah! It's an apple. It's so big. It's round and red.
Young B: I touched it, teacher. It's a banana. It's yellow and a little curved, like a boat.
Young C: It looks like the moon to me.
(analysis: children's imagination is well played in the process of understanding. )
3. Through tasting and communication, we can understand that fruits have various flavors.
Teacher: There are so many delicious fruits. Would you like to try them? You can talk to your friends while eating: what fruit I eat and what taste it is.
(Children communicate while tasting)
Collective communication: what fruit I eat and what taste.
Young A: I ate a banana. It was sweet and soft.
B: I ate litchi, which needs peeling. It tastes sweet and has stones.
Young C: I ate an apple, which was sweet, sour and crisp.
Young D: Teacher, the apple I eat is sweet but not crisp and soft.
4. Summary: Fruits have various shapes, such as round, oval, long and so on; There are also various colors, such as red, green, yellow, orange and purple. There are also different flavors, such as sweet, sour, sweet and sour, sweet and bitter. And eating more fruits can make us healthier, so we should eat fruits every day.
5. Extended activities: hold an autumn fruit exhibition in the activity area, so that children can continue to support the characteristics of fruits in their daily activities.
(Analysis: It is their happiest thing to let children eat fruit. Every child's face is as sweet as fresh fruit. They have gained rich direct experience by eating fruit and are very willing to share their feelings with their peers. )
Activity 2: Fruit Classification
I. Activity objectives:
1, classify all kinds of fruits according to a certain characteristic.
2. Enhance the cooperation ability with peers and experience the pleasure of cooperation.
Second, the activity preparation:
1, 4 fruit baskets with pictures of various fruits (the number of pictures is more than twice that of children)
2. Divide children into 4 groups. Small plates are several in each group.
3, fruit supermarket shelves (several tables can be put on several fruit baskets)
Third, the activity process:
1, guide children to classify fruits according to different characteristics.
Teacher: Now please sort the fruits in the basket and put them in the small plates on your desk.
(Encourage and guide children to try to classify fruits in different ways during their operation. )
2. Show and communicate the methods of dividing fruits.
Teacher: Please tell us how to divide the fruits. Which fruits do you put together?
Young A: I put apples, oranges and oranges together because they are all round.
B: I put bananas, pears, apple pears, mangoes, lemons and pineapples together. They are all yellow. I put apples, plums and cherries together. They are red. Oranges, oranges and persimmons are all orange.
Young C: I put litchi, mangosteen and rambutan together. They all have hard shells. Peach, grape and plum are put together, and their skins are thin and soft.
(Analysis: In the operation activities of this link, I provided different fruits according to the differences of children's abilities. For children with poor abilities, I provided a small number of fruits, and there was only one classification method to help them understand the meaning of classification through operation. For children with strong abilities, I not only provided more fruits, but also had two or more different classification methods, so that they could determine the classification standards according to their own wishes and give them more active exploration. )
3, the game: "fruit supermarket" (discuss how to divide the fruits in the fruit supermarket. )
Teacher: There are so many fruits in the Fruit Supermarket. How are you going to divide them?
Young A: Separate all the different fruits.
B: Put the fruits of the same color together.
(Children give fruit to the "fruit supermarket". Children have come up with many different ways to divide fruits, but which method can be used? MengMeng came up with the method of a show of hands. Finally, the children decided to divide the fruits according to their color characteristics. The shop assistants of the Fruit Supermarket joined hands and soon divided the fruits of the Fruit Supermarket neatly. )
⑵ Children communicate the process of sharing fruits.
Teacher: The "fruit supermarket" is really neat. Please ask the shop assistant to tell us how you divide it.
Young A: I put together fruits with red skin, fruits with green skin, fruits with orange skin and fruits with yellow skin.
(Analysis: In fact, it is not very reasonable for children to classify candy according to different colors, but it also reflects the thinking characteristics of children-intuition and visualization, so I guide children to adopt a more reasonable classification method on the basis of respecting children's wishes. )
4. Extended activities: The role game adds the game of "fruit supermarket" to help children classify the fruits of "fruit supermarket" in a more reasonable way, so that children have the opportunity to consolidate their practice.
Activity 3: Fruit Modeling
I. Activity objectives:
Imagine and create boldly, and you can change the fruit into other shapes by adding pictures.
Second, the activity preparation:
1, square paper with apples, bananas, oranges, pears and other fruits painted on it.
2, a set of watercolor pens.
Third, the activity process:
1, the fruit changes, changes, changes.
(1) show the apple shape-ladybug
Teacher: Look, teacher, there is a beautiful picture here. Do you know what changed it? How did it change?
Young A: Isn't this a ladybug? How can it change?
B: It's a circle, right? Just draw a circle first, and then draw patterns on the head, feet and back.
Young C: I look a bit like an apple, but I don't know how.
(Analysis: The presentation of the apple shape immediately attracted the children's attention. They used their brains to observe carefully, and the answers from their mouths were different, but what each child said was not unreasonable.)
Teacher: It's great that you have given so many answers. Do you want to know what has changed? How did it change?
⑵ The teacher painted on the spot: apples turned into ladybugs.
Child A: I guessed right, it was the apple that changed.
Child B: Me, too. I can turn apples into houses.
My paintings have aroused great interest among children, and they are all eager to try.
Teacher: OK, you are so smart, and you can turn apples into houses. Then please think about it again. What other fruits can be changed besides apples?
2. Choose materials for fruit modeling.
(1) Show me other fruit designs and tell me what these fruits can become.
Young A: I want to turn bananas into boats.
B: I want to turn bananas into swings.
Young C: I can turn oranges into teapots.
Teacher: Well, you can choose your favorite fruit pattern to change it. If you come up with a fruit that I don't have here, you can take a blank paper picture.
Analysis: I leave enough time for children to choose freely, so that their imagination and creativity can be better played. )
3. Exhibition and exchange of works
Teacher: Now let the children introduce your works. What do you become when you are a fruit?
Young A: I turned the banana into a swing, and there was a child sitting on it.
B: I turned oranges into teapots.
Young C: I turned bananas into the moon, and I drew stars.
Young D: I turned the apple into the sun and drew clouds like cotton candy.
4. Summary:
Teacher: You are really capable. You are all clever magicians. You can turn fruits into all kinds of things. There are many vegetable patterns in our activity area. You can also try to turn vegetables into more interesting things.
(Analysis: Adding pictures is an experience reorganization based on children's understanding of fruits and some local similar objects, which can enliven children's imagination and develop their creativity. It is difficult for the children in the early stage of the middle class, so I encourage, guide and help the children in time during the painting process. In the process of painting, children can freely choose fruit patterns, sit as scattered as possible, and reduce mutual imitation, while affecting their unique imagination. )
Analysis: The whole activity is in line with the age characteristics of the children in the middle class, starting with their interests, and running through in the form of games, and focusing on children as the main body, mobilizing children to experience and understand the characteristics of various fruits through multiple channels, such as "going to the fruit market to see the fruit" and "looking for the fruit" before the activity, "touching the fruit", "tasting the fruit" and "dividing the fruit" during the activity. The whole activity pays attention to advocating the educational spirit of "learning with pleasure", so children's interest in exploration has always been high. In activities, our requirements and guidance for children vary from person to person. We strive to provide opportunities for children with different abilities to develop, tap their creative potential as much as possible, give them opportunities to fully express themselves and cultivate their self-confidence.
Pay attention to excavating various educational factors in the activities, and organically combine and infiltrate them. Pay attention to cultivating children's ability of expression, communication and cooperation in activities; Infiltrate health care consciousness in a timely manner; Pay attention to stimulating children's correct and beautiful feelings about fruits; Pay attention to the development of children's abilities of observation, analysis, comparison, creation and imagination in operational activities, and constantly accumulate knowledge and experience. The difficulty of this activity is to add pictures in the activity of "fruit modeling", which is difficult for children in the early stage of the middle class. (Lesson Plan Network) So I encourage, guide and help children in time during the process of adding pictures. In the process of painting, children can freely choose fruit patterns, sit as scattered as possible, and reduce mutual imitation, while affecting their unique imagination. The teaching activity "Fruit Classification" further helps children to consolidate the skills of classification according to characteristics. Adding pictures is an experience reorganization based on children's understanding of fruits and some local similar objects, which can enliven children's imagination and develop their creativity. Therefore, the former activity is the foreshadowing and preparation of the latter activity, and the latter activity is the consolidation and extension of the former activity.
Teaching reflection
I divide this activity into five parts. The first part is to let children look at the pictures and feel the fruit initially, and can tell the color of the fruit. The second part is to play games to get in touch with fruits, the third part is to taste fruits and talk about their taste, the fourth part is to choose a kind of fruit and talk about it, and the fifth part is to learn more about fruits. Let children know about fruits step by step.
