Kindergarten regional games are one of the important ways for children to learn individually. Especially the role-playing area can not only promote the development of children's communication skills, but also deepen their emotional experience and improve their ability to solve and deal with problems in activities. Combining the characteristics of children's strong thinking ability, rich imagination, strong expressive force and strong communication ability, we put a series of low-structure and easy-to-operate materials in the role game area, and children played "ice cream shop games" with light clay and paper cups. From the game, we can see that children's learning is happening quietly, constantly discovering and solving problems, and the learning quality of cooperation and mutual assistance in communication is also constantly improving. Teachers' timely intervention in the game enriches and promotes the development of the whole game plot.
Case description:
In the role area, Jia Jia was holding something made of apron and clay when Jin Xuan from the same area came over with a dozen paper cups and said, "Are you making ice cream?" Jia nodded and said, "Yes, this is my ice cream shop." Jin Xuan handed the paper cup. "Ice cream is most afraid of melting. Please put it in my paper cup." You pinch the ice cream and I knead it, and then they put the cups together. After a while, all the paper cups were filled with "ice cream" and the two children began to do nothing. Then I walked over. "Who did this? How beautiful! Can I buy one? " The two children said happily, "Of course!" I asked, "How much is it?" Jia Jia hesitated and said, "Then three dollars each!" I felt in my pocket and said, "But I forgot my wallet today. What if I have no money? " Just then, Coco from the Art District came over and handed me some cards and said, "Teacher Chen, do you think this can be used as money?" Talking, I took the "money" and handed it to Jin Xuan. She carefully counted "one, two, three, one * * three dollars". After I left with "ice cream", Coco also bought ice cream with the remaining cards in her hand. But after a while, the store became cold and cheerless again. At this time, Jin Xuan said, "Why don't I sell it and you are a customer?" Jia Jia nodded happily. Jin Xuan started selling "ice cream"! Jia Jia said, "I want a mixture of bananas and strawberries. Is there? " Jin Xuan looked at Jia Jia awkwardly, and Jia Jia said, "Why don't we try it together!" The two children began to play happily again.
Case study:
First, the game behavior analysis:
Children's behavior:
1. the organic combination of observation and imitation
Imitation behavior is a remarkable feature of early childhood children. Imitation is an important way and way for them to learn, and it is one of the basic ways of skilled and habitual behavior and learning, which plays an important role in the process of children's socialization. In this case, Coco carefully observes the teacher's buying and selling behavior and imitates it. This is the process in which children imitate learning and acquire new knowledge through imitation.
2. Perfect embodiment of the spirit of cooperation and innovation
Spontaneous cooperation is an important factor in deepening activities. During the activity, children can freely choose their partners, find the materials they need, and make ice cream by themselves, each with its own division of labor. When Jia Jia proposed ice cream with mixed flavors, the children tried to cooperate together again, and the activities went on in an orderly way. The spirit of cooperation and innovation has been continuously improved.
3. Improve the ability to find and solve problems.
In the social field of the Guide, it is pointed out that children's problem-solving ability should be improved through life practice activities. In the case, we can find that children can actively find problems through indirect guidance, and learn to think and try to solve problems. Improve their ability to solve problems in practice. In the case, when Coco found that the teacher had no "money", she learned to substitute things for things and solve problems skillfully. When the ice cream shop became deserted again, Jia Jia began to discuss new ways to play. This knowledge of "self-learning" in the game can be maintained and transferred for a longer period of time.
Teacher behavior:
The teacher's timely intervention promoted the development of the game plot. Children's games in the middle class often repeat some single plots. Teachers participate in the games as customers, which not only meets the needs of roles, but also promotes the plot of buying and selling games. Children's game activities are inseparable from the guidance of teachers, and spontaneous games need teachers' attention and educational wit. Teachers' timely intervention can help children successfully complete the game, improve their interest in activities, make the game more interesting, and thus improve the quality of the game. In this case, the teacher joins the game as a customer, interacts with the children, and helps the children go deep into the game by asking questions. Under the teacher's purposeful inspiration and questioning, the children think seriously, enriching and promoting the development of the game plot and improving the level of the game.
In future games, teachers can create certain scenes to encourage them to buy and sell their favorite goods, which can not only reflect children's life experience, but also provide them with communication skills, develop their language skills and help them establish harmonious social relations. At the same time, parents can also be consulted to help children go to the supermarket to experience independent shopping and gain more social experience, so as to accumulate experience for enriching game content, promoting game plot development and improving children's game ability.
