1. Mixed-age interaction in game activities to cultivate children’s awareness of communication. Society is a big stage. Everyone plays a different role on this stage and assumes certain social responsibilities according to social requirements and self-choice.

.

Due to the constraints of their physical and mental development level, young children cannot truly play social roles and participate in social life. However, they can simulate real life in social games through role-playing and perceive social role relationships and role rules, thereby enriching children's social cognition and strengthening their

social emotions and cultivate good social behavior habits in young children.

In kindergarten, children's favorite thing to play is role-playing games. They all like to play their favorite roles, such as "I will be the mother", "I will be the father", "I will be the doctor" and "I will be the sick child".

Among children in mixed-age classes, children will be assigned their own roles according to their own wishes. The older children are willing to guide the younger children, and the younger children are also willing to imitate the behavior of the older children.

For example: when children play their favorite role-playing games such as dollhouses, shops, hospitals, buses, etc., let the children develop the plot content of the game according to their own wishes and interests.

In the game, all children should be active, everyone should have a role, and children should take turns playing the leading and supporting roles in the game.

The strong and weak influence each other in the game can not only make up for the low frequency of children's free communication activities, but also promote the improvement of children's speaking, movement and thinking abilities.

From independence to cooperation, group awareness is enhanced and social learning is also completed.

Makarenko pointed out: "Children must work hard and think hard in games just like in labor." Role games are completed by children of mixed ages. Therefore, role games can well develop children's interpersonal skills.

Friendly interactions between children can also reflect the good qualities of caring for and helping each other among children.

At the same time, older children can lead those timid children to participate in activities, overcoming the weakness of being timid and not fond of activities.

It can be said that role games play a catalytic role in the formation of children's communication awareness, and can also be said to be the most effective method for cultivating children's communication skills.

Through research, it is found that in the mutual interactions and activities of mixed-age children, as the scope of children's interactions continues to expand, the content of interactions becomes increasingly rich, and the emotions between children become deeper.

Whether they are in the corridor of the kindergarten or on the playground, whenever they meet each other, they will be excited, hold hands and hug each other enthusiastically, and sit together and chat naturally.

The scope of children's understanding and communication has been expanded, the objects and contents of communication have been enriched, and their correct attitudes and skills in interacting with others, as well as their good social behavior abilities, have been comprehensively developed.

2. Mixed-age interactions in outdoor activities stimulate children’s initiative in communication. In mixed-age activities, we use mixed-age interactions among children to cultivate children’s initiative in communication.

In mixed-age activities, children have more opportunities to play their favorite games and engage in their favorite activities.

This kind of spontaneous and intrinsic activities and games will allow young children to eliminate the initial strangeness between them and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the process of interacting with their peers.

For example, in the outdoor mixed-age activities, we provided various fun equipment such as large equipment, ocean balls, twisting cars, rock climbing, small bridges, rubber balls, etc. The children in the small class passed the test in the same activities as the children in the middle and large classes.

Observe and imitate, expand your game experience, enrich your language vocabulary, and communicate freely with children in middle and upper classes in a natural state, reflecting the beauty of ecological and harmonious communication.

Under the leadership of the children in the middle and large classes, some children played police games on large equipment and played the games of mothers sending babies to kindergarten. In such activities, they not only developed the role awareness of the small class, but also promoted the communication among the children.

At the same time, children's communication skills are also developed.

3. Mixed-age interaction in sports activities builds children's self-confidence and sense of responsibility. Sports activities are the activities that children like and participate in most. Children can get strong emotional experiences in the activities. We use "the big leads the small, the small promotes the big"

Through mixed-age sports activities, children learn from each other, help each other, overcome difficulties, and learn skills, which makes them feel happy, feel capable, and enhance their self-confidence in learning.

For example, children are interested in the sports activity "Watermelon Movement". The rules of the activity require children to work in pairs. They cannot use their hands and can only use their stomachs to hold the watermelon (ball) and move horizontally. The one who reaches the finish line first wins.

In the game, the children from the middle class and the senior class formed a pair. At first, the ball kept falling. Later, after observation, communication, and learning, they finally succeeded. In the game, the children not only were able to clamp the ball, but also walked faster.

.

In these activities, the children in the middle class and the senior class participate in activities together. The children in the senior class take care of their younger brothers and sisters, protect them, and let them play first before playing by themselves. The children in the middle class like and are willing to follow the guidance of their elder brothers and sisters, so that the children in the senior class have

With a sense of pride and self-confidence, I am more willing to interact with my younger brothers and sisters.

In this series of activities, older children have become an educational resource in a certain sense. When younger children encounter difficulties, they can get help and inspiration from older children. Older children can be envied by younger children.

They can feel their own power in the adoring eyes of others, and they can also experience the joy of caring and helping others.

Subtly, younger children will also learn good qualities such as caring for others and helping each other from older children, and will gradually build their own self-confidence and sense of responsibility.
