Reflections on the Dragon Boat Festival activities in the large class society 1
"On May 5th, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the rice dumpling leaves are green and the glutinous rice is fragrant; I hang calamus and bring sachets..." In order to let the children To feel the unique customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, arouse children's initial interest in traditional Chinese culture, and better inherit and promote the excellent traditional virtues of China, our kindergarten launched a series of festival activities on the morning of June xx, "Zongzi Leaves Fragrant, Love the Dragon Boat Festival".
First of all, we conducted the interesting sports game activity "Dragon Boat Racing" and the traditional game "Playing Rubber Bands". In the "Dragon Boat Race" game, the children felt the rich cultural atmosphere reflected in the traditional games of the Chinese nation in the laughter and laughter. The rubber band game is divided into the rubber band jumping game for children and the lower waist rope crossing game for older children. The children are constantly challenged to different heights, enjoying the fun of traditional games and exercising their body balance at the same time. When the older friends bent down to play the rope game, the children enthusiastically cheered them on, and laughter filled the entire event.
Then, our teacher also introduced the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival to the children. Through courseware observation and discussion, they learned about dragon boat racing, eating rice dumplings, wearing sachets, hanging mugwort leaves, drinking realgar wine, etc. festival customs. The children were very active in answering questions. We also studied the ancient poem "Dragon Boat Festival" by Tang Dynasty poet Wen Xiu, and felt the strong festive atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival and the joy of folk festivals.
Then, everyone came to our art room to carry out our "I love Dalang, I love my family" 100-meter-long scroll painting activity. In the painting activity, parents and children each showed their talents. They condense their inner love into the paintbrush in their hands. The paintings are rich in content, diverse in style, bright in color, vivid in image, and full of childlike innocence, allowing children to feel beauty, express beauty, create beauty in painting, and experience the joy of parent-child creation.
The launch of this Dragon Boat Festival activity not only made the children know that the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional folk festival of the Chinese nation, but also initially understood some of the customs and origins of the Dragon Boat Festival. At the same time, they experienced the strong festival of the Dragon Boat Festival. The atmosphere and joy of folk festivals were well received by parents.

As China’s traditional festival Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, in order to let children further understand some of the customs and origins of the Dragon Boat Festival, and cultivate their interest in traditional Chinese culture. On x month x, 20xx, xx Kindergarten carried out the Happy Zongzi Making Activity of the Dragon Boat Festival theme activity. The children in the middle and large classes made zongzi with their own hands with their teachers, while the children in the small class visited freely. Some children even actively participated. Everyone was happy. Experienced the joy of making rice dumplings.
A few days before the event, the teachers had already explained a lot about the Dragon Boat Festival customs to the children. The children were moved by the stories told by the teacher. Among them, the most talked about and impressive one was "Qu Yuan's Story". Through the teacher's explanation, the children understood the origin and significance of the Dragon Boat Festival and the traditional customs of our country. habits and culture.
The teachers in the kindergarten also prepared the materials for making rice dumplings early. First, the children got to know the materials such as rice dumpling leaves, glutinous rice, black sesame filling, ham sausage, etc., and then prepared them under the leadership of the teacher. Wrap rice dumplings.
Teacher Dai first demonstrated how to make zongzi, and the children listened carefully. After the demonstration, the children couldn't wait to take action. They saw pairs of young hands "busyly shuttle" among the green rice dumpling leaves. A few minutes later, with the hard efforts of the children, Zongzi of different shapes appear on the table. Although they are not beautiful, they contain the sweet efforts of the children.
We carry out such activities to let the children feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture. Through the activities, the children all know that the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is a day for family reunion. There are customs of eating five yellows, hanging five ends, dyeing red eggs, wearing sachets, racing dragon boats, and tasting rice dumplings.
In this meaningful activity, the children learned to make rice dumplings in a strong festive atmosphere, which not only exercised and developed the children's hands-on ability, but also enhanced the children's understanding of traditional Chinese culture, and benefited a lot from the large class society. Reflection on Dragon Boat Festival Activities Chapter 3
The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in my country. It has unique customs, such as: eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats, wearing sachets, hanging mugwort, hanging calamus, and drinking realgar wine. etc. Using the Dragon Boat Festival to carry out theme activities can not only exercise and develop children's hands-on skills, but also enhance children's understanding and interest in traditional Chinese culture. At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival is also a special day to commemorate ancestors such as Qu Yuan and Qiu Jin. During the Dragon Boat Festival, we remember our ancestors and inherit the national spirit.
First, teachers, parents, and children collect new and old photos and related audio and video materials about the Dragon Boat Festival to learn about the knowledge and customs related to the Dragon Boat Festival. And through various forms of publicity such as bulletin boards, home contact columns, and websites, teachers and students can further feel Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and touching poems, enhance children's love for the motherland, encourage and guide children to enter life, and carry out various forms of activities. Educational activities. The second is to collect poems and folklore about the Dragon Boat Festival, collect the deeds of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, and exchange and study in groups to express our memory, reverence, and love for him. The third is to advocate enthusiastic parents to give to young children. Instructions for making rice dumplings.
Children made "zongzi" by themselves and felt the folk culture. The canteen helps with cooking. Let children taste and share the fruits of their labor. The fourth is to make and give each other Dragon Boat Festival greeting cards, encourage children to use their brains and do more hands-on work, and convey festival greetings to each other. Fifth, in conjunction with the "June 1st" celebrations, each grade group organized children to hold a "Drawing the Beautiful Motherland" painting activity to promote the spirit of patriotism.
Through the "Our Festival·Dragon Boat Festival" themed educational activities, children can feel the joy of the festival and the glory of being Chinese. Experience the long history of traditional Chinese culture and accumulate children's cultural heritage. During the activities, children are allowed to express themselves, develop their own personalities, and further cultivate their awareness of subject participation, hands-on ability and the spirit of unity and cooperation among peers. Reflection on the Dragon Boat Festival activities in the large class society Part 4
The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival. Before the arrival of the festival, people around us are like celebrating the festival. They make rice dumplings and salted duck eggs, tie mugwort and plant calamus at the door of every house. But almost no child in the class knows why we celebrate such a festival, why we make rice dumplings, why we hang mugwort, etc. In order to let children understand our country's traditional folk activities and better integrate them into project activities, I created this activity.
During the activity, the children were proactive and some asked many questions, which surprised me. Young children are so unfamiliar with the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival that many children even think that it is just a reason for a holiday.
After this Dragon Boat Festival activity, the children have a comprehensive understanding of the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and know many Dragon Boat Festival customs, such as: dragon boat racing, making rice dumplings, and eating rice dumplings. , hanging mugwort, calamus, etc. Many children also designed their own activities for the Dragon Boat Festival. Through this activity, we have spread various customs of the Dragon Boat Festival to young children, allowing our national cultural traditions to be passed on. Reflection on the Dragon Boat Festival activities in the big class society 5
First, I led the children to arrange a small train to beat the stubborn rhythm by playing the song "Dragon Boat Festival" and entered the venue, which immediately focused the children's attention; then I presented the sachet and set the Ask questions and trigger thinking: "What is this? What does it smell like? Why should I wear it? How did the Dragon Boat Festival come about and what are the customs?" This introduces the topic; then by watching the animated video, you can understand the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and the animation. Playing it once attracted the children's attention, and they understood the story vividly; then I played the self-made courseware to let the children understand the traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and the unique local customs. The pictures collected were brightly colored, and compared with traditional preaching , clear at a glance; finally, I once again let the children experience the joy of traditional festivals through the dragon boat game, which then led to the next topic, "Let's make delicious rice dumplings together in the next class, okay!", the design of the entire activity Through discussions, watching animations, slides, reading nursery rhymes, rhythmic games, etc., children's multiple senses are mobilized and they can gradually understand the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.
In classroom practice activities, I attach great importance to the use of encouraging evaluations, promptly affirm children's participation, encourage children to boldly express their opinions, stimulate children's interest in activities; and be able to flexibly control the classroom and discover problems in a timely manner Solve problems; at the same time, you are required to speak kindly and naturally in classroom activities, have children in your heart, and be close friends of children. Therefore, throughout the activities, children have positive emotions, focused attention, strong participation, active thinking, and can be bold Express your opinions effectively and achieve the expected effect.
Disadvantages:
Because the computer in the multimedia room in the park is not very responsive, I was not able to operate it myself during the activity, and other teachers helped to play it. We must continue to learn and improve in this regard in the future.
I frequently use the following educational methods in social education activities: Practical exercise method: This is a typical method of learning by doing. For example, content such as "Little Student on Duty" and "I Can Fold Clothes" can be carried out through practical exercises. Visiting method: During teaching activities, I frequently organize children to visit places inside or outside the park. For example: "The Elementary School in My Heart", "Little Post Office", "Barber Shop", "Special Staff", etc. can all be visited. The use of the visiting method allows children to be immersed in the scene, hear and see, get in touch with society, and receive education. Scenario performance method: For example, to determine whether some behavioral habits are right or wrong, children in the upper class are frequently asked to perform scenario performances, so that the children can make correct judgments through scenario reproduction. Explanation method: For example, "Special Purpose Numbers" explains the uses of three numbers to children through explanations, so that children can understand the rules and their meanings. In addition, I frequently tell stories and learn children's songs to help children understand some traditional national culture and behavioral rules; through performances, I build children's self-confidence; through conversations and discussions, I inspire children to summarize their existing life experiences and enrich their lives. social cognition. Of course, these methods do not exist alone, but can be used in flexible combinations according to teaching requirements, so as to avoid empty preaching and maximize our teaching effect.

Standing on the podium again, everything is new. It was the first time I took an open class in a new school. I didn’t dare to slack off and started preparing intensively many days in advance. After careful study of the text and related materials, a general teaching idea gradually formed.
An article, especially your article, can cover a lot of things, but to give a good class it is obviously not advisable to cover everything. Based on the effective teaching concept of "one lesson, one gain", I designed a teaching plan with the main goal of "learning wonderful scene descriptions" and put it into practice.
When it comes to class, the row of teachers sitting at the back of the classroom makes my students somewhat nervous. I feel that I am well prepared, so I naturally encourage them with a smile. The entire class basically went smoothly as planned, and basically achieved the teaching goals I expected. But before the class was over, I already felt a sense of regret. Due to the lack of ability and experience to perform on the spot, the two sections of communication and discussion scene appreciation and practical scene description were completed in a hurry and failed to reach the level they should have.
Thinking about it now, these should be regarded as the most original reflections I have made on my teaching, and the real reflection started after listening to the evaluations of my seniors and colleagues. While giving their affirmation, they also gave me a lot of practical, powerful and inspiring guidance. I summarize it into the following three points:
First, Chinese classes should achieve a deep understanding of the content. Confucius said: "If literature is superior to quality, then you will be wild; if quality is superior to literature, you will be history. If literature and quality are gentle, then you will be a gentleman." I think that as a person and a writer, we must pursue both literature and quality, and this should also be the purpose of teaching. In this class, my treatment of content and form was somewhat biased. I was obsessed with exhausting the appreciation of descriptive techniques, while neglecting the core content of the text itself. What flows in "Dragon Boat Festival" is the rich folk culture and customs of western Hunan, which is also the embodiment of my country's traditional national culture and national spirit. This is the teaching focus of this course and the teaching focus of this unit. My failure to strengthen it is a failure that cannot be ignored. In addition, in the production of PPT, there is also a tendency that the form is greater than the content, and the excessive animated pictures are a bit overwhelming.
Second, Chinese classes should implement and master the methods. In this lesson, I focus on the scene description of "Dragon Boat Festival" as an example, and systematically summarize the various description methods reflected in the text. Unfortunately, I did not conduct an intensive summary when teaching this link, which made the students' understanding of this knowledge point hasty and superficial, and their understanding of these description methods was not solid enough. In the subsequent description of the "duck chasing race" scene, some students were not able to consciously practice it with clear thinking.
Third, Chinese classes must pay attention to the unique insights and experiences of Chinese. In this class, while strengthening the guidance of methods, I weakened the requirement for reading aloud. I believe that Chinese language classes must have clear method guidance, and more importantly, reading comprehension. The two go hand in hand and complement each other. In class, the two should be organically combined, using understanding to promote reading, and using reading to reflect understanding.
Looking back again at the opening of the open classes, what I felt most deeply was the invisible pressure, but I also knew that these pressures were opportunities for growth. I think that only through constant experience and reflection can we continue to grow. Reflection on the Dragon Boat Festival activities in the large class society 7
With the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, let the children understand the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, thereby respecting the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, and initially know the traditional folk activities of the Dragon Boat Festival: making rice dumplings and making incense. Packing bags, rowing dragon boats, hanging calamus, hanging mugwort, etc. Because zongzi can often be seen in their lives, children are very interested in making zongzi. However, due to geographical reasons, other customs are rare here. Children are relatively inexperienced.
Since this activity belongs to the knowledge series, in order to make the children interested in the activity, I told the children about Qu Yuan’s story in the early stage of the activity and why there is a custom of making rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. The children were very interested. During the activity, I also prepared two animated videos about the Dragon Boat Festival, and also prepared rice dumplings, sachets, and mugwort leaves to show to the children in real form to make them more impressed. In the pre-activity part, I used the familiar rice dumplings for children to introduce the activity, and the children interacted well with me. However, the video animation session was not as good as I expected. I think it is because the story animation is too profound for small class children, and I think it is suitable for small class children. The early experience of young children has laid the foundation well, but in actual small classes, children cannot remember it yet, so no children can answer subsequent questions. I think not all videos are better than oral stories, because when telling stories orally, teachers can adjust the rhythm of telling the story according to the children's understanding, and can also interact with the children during the narration to grasp the children's understanding. There are many Dragon Boat Festival customs, and they are far away from children’s life experience. They only need to be understood by children and do not need to be explained in too much detail. Due to time constraints, I have omitted the part of learning Dragon Boat Festival nursery rhymes. This is a good opportunity for interaction with children. I think the effect would be better if added.
Through this activity, I believe that any meaningful activity must be based on understanding the age and cognitive characteristics of the class, grasping the points of interest of the children, and the teacher’s organizational language and questions It should also be closer to children to make it easier for children to understand, so that there will be a good atmosphere in the classroom and the goals of the activities can be achieved. Reflection on the Dragon Boat Festival activities in the large class society Part 8
"The Origin of the Dragon Boat Festival" mainly tells the touching story of Qu Yuan. He was patriotic, talented, and deeply loved by the people. However, the King of Chu listened to other people's slander and exiled Qu Yuan to a far away place and no longer used him in any important way. Later, the Chu State was occupied by the Qin State. He felt that there was no way to serve the country. In great grief and indignation, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River with stones in his arms.
When people heard the news, they all rushed to the river to call, fish, throw food into the river, pour realgar wine, hoping that Qu Yuan's body would not be harmed by fish and shrimp. Because that day happened to be the fifth day of May, from then on, every year on the fifth day of May, in order to commemorate Qu Yuan, people would throw rice dumplings into the river.
When I was doing this teaching activity, I felt that the plot of the story was a bit profound for middle class children, and I was afraid that it would not attract the children’s attention. Therefore, I adopted the questioning teaching method, allowing the children to ask corresponding questions while looking at the pictures. Through the teaching activities of this class, I think there are several points worthy of reflection:
1. There are too many questions designed by myself, which appear disorganized.
Since I decided to ask questions to the children, I designed many questions: For example, "What are the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival? What kind of person was Qu Yuan? Why did he commit suicide by throwing himself into the river? What happened to people after he threw himself into the river? What did you do? Why did you throw rice dumplings into the river later?" When designing these issues, I also considered too many problems, but I couldn't think of a better design. During the teaching, I only focused on the content of the story and wanted the children to understand the meaning of the story, but ignored the age characteristics of the children. Thinking about it now, it would be better to simplify the problem and let the children look at the pictures and discuss their opinions on their own, which will more arouse the children's interest in the story.
2. The classroom atmosphere is not active enough.
The content of the story is a bit profound, and the children were a little impatient when they first heard it, not to mention the teacher designed so many questions. When asking children to answer, I found that children raised their hands to speak far less than usual when reading fairy tales. Clearly, my questions did not pique the toddler's interest. In group teaching activities, if children are no longer interested in the teaching content, then this is a lack of preparation by the teacher, and it can also be said to be a failed course. I will pay more attention to this in similar teaching activities in the future.
