Tips for Teaching Kindergarteners Dance
First, stimulate young children's interest in learning dance with lively and interesting prompts
As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. Young children can be very focused on the activities they are interested in and have the desire to continue learning. And dance activities in a long time to practice, will make children feel uninteresting, especially for small children, on the one hand, fun, active is their nature, one-pointed training, over-repression, will make them lose interest, and even produce boredom; on the other hand, they are easy to be infected by the outside world, and the ability to accept new things is strong. Therefore, if the content of the dance activity is vivid and interesting, and if it can infect the children, it is an important aspect to arouse the children's interest in learning. It is also the key to dance activities, lively, vivid music can often cause young children's **** Ming, drive them to express their beautiful feelings. In the dance activities, play some rhythmic, young children are quite familiar with nursery rhymes, songs, infected young children with the music swing, so that they feel the music with the movement to show. For example, when they hear "Lullaby", they will be like a mother with the rhythm of the music, coaxing the baby to sleep; when they hear the cheerful . . music, they will laugh; when they hear sad music, they will lock their brows; their movements and expressions will change with the music. Such activities make them feel happy to learn dance.
2, with the image of the action to let the children to imitate, stimulate the desire to learn
The children are good at imitation, often through imitation to accumulate experience. Therefore, in the dance activities, I choose on the one hand, can cause children **** music as dance material; on the other hand, according to the content of the music design image of the movement for children to imitate, so that they in the imitation of learning. For example, I designed for the song "Duckling" duckling walking action, let the children imitate to learn the duckling walking a swinging look, when the children are interested in the performance of the duckling, I asked: "What else can the duckling do? Can do what action ah?" At this time, some children made a duckling call action, duckling swimming action, although very tender, but it is the result of their learning and thinking. In this way, the children have been obtained in the imitation experience in-depth to learn more skills, invariably stimulate the desire of young children to learn.
3, seize the opportunity, education in daily life
small children naive, lively, easy to reveal their emotions, they will inadvertently sing and dance, and then the teacher intervene appropriately, seize the opportunity, reasonable guidance, will let their interest to be extended. For example, in the morning activities, kindergarten often play music, then I saw some children dancing with the music, I went over and said: "You're great, dancing really well, if we learn the action added to it will be more beautiful." With that, the children followed the teacher and learned seriously. It can be seen that as long as we seize the opportunity of education, reasonable use, life in the little bits and pieces, can become a source of stimulation of young children's interest in learning.
Two, create a learning atmosphere, improve performance skills, enhance the sense of performance
The youngest children in the class are young, attention is easily distracted, all aspects of the ability to weak, the understanding of the content of the dance is often emotional, often lack of expressive power. Therefore, it is very important to create a learning atmosphere that is suitable for the age of the children, so that they can understand the content of the dance performance intuitively and figuratively, thus improving their performance skills and enhancing their sense of expression.
1, create a learning atmosphere to help children accumulate experience
In the process of learning dance, the need for a certain degree of expressiveness, which requires the learner to have a certain degree of perceptual experience, and the stimulation of the external environment can help us accumulate experience. So in life, I pay attention to the use of environmental factors, create a learning atmosphere, guide children to observe and experience, such as: let them in the process of appreciating the finished dance to feel the charm of the dance; let them in different situations to experience happy, sad and other different emotions, to help them accumulate perceptual experience. The stimulation of the external environment has a great influence on them and lays the foundation for better learning of dance.
2. Creating dances from young children's experience helps them understand the content of dances in a visual way and enhances their expressiveness
Young children are young and lack a rational understanding of things, and they can't understand the content of music and dance in an abstract way, so it's hard for them to express it in a visual way. In the face of this problem, I in the dance activities, according to the children's existing life experience to create dance, so that children easy to understand. Such as in the dance "leeks fried onions": I let the children as a small chef, a moment to cut vegetables, a moment to fry vegetables, a moment to smell the fragrance; in the dance "puppy good boy" learning, I let the children to perform puppy barking, puppy bones, puppy rolling on the ground and so on. Let the content of learning close to the lives of young children, young children in the understanding of the basis of the performance, learning is very easy and comfortable, the movement is also more flexible, the performance of the vivid, image, expressive power is gradually enhanced.
