Editor's note: Nowadays, early childhood sports advocate teachers to make their own toys, that physical education teachers after participating in the study of what epiphanies? Here we look at it!
It is really unintentional, willow into shade, last summer because of the relocation transition, in order to solve the lack of outdoor space function, we built a big outdoor to the children? Adventure Box? , has been playing until now. Some time ago, the little ones used it to participate in the district, city and provincial homemade educational toys competition, actually won a city first prize, second prize in the province, really an unexpected surprise. Two days ago, and one of the judges chat, learned why is the second prize reason, inner nature is also very understanding and full of joy.
I was invited to participate in a good friend's garden's homemade outdoor materials competition, and after the event, I was asked to talk to the teachers about some of the ideas about homemade toys, so I talked to them about the situation and some of my own perceptions of the situation and the teachers about the following three questions:
Question 1: Why do we need to advocate for homemade toys today? Homemade educational toys are not a new thing, but a thing with a?
Question 2: Who are we to make our own toys? At present, due to the garden and teachers of the purpose of the current homemade toys, meaning and need to solve the actual problem and not too much thinking and analysis, a considerable portion of the kindergarten teachers to make their own toys is not based on the original intention of the subjective behavior, but more to meet the garden's work arrangements. So the basic procedure is to search for some pictures on the Internet, and then do some judgment and screening, according to the picture of the production of the submission that is the end. And many gardens often no longer pay attention to and follow up after the end of the activity, part of the homemade teaching toys used as environmental decoration and display, part of the children's games in the self-generated just. Therefore, the work of homemade teaching toys still needs further deep thinking. I personally think that we need to think about two aspects: first, the object of homemade toys is children, to be able to meet the interests of the children's interests and play needs; second, the carrier of homemade toys is the garden, to be able to solve the lack of equipment and materials and the lack of functionality of the garden. From this point of view, we need to work from the children and the actual situation of the garden, through observation and analysis and inventory judgment, to find the need to meet the needs of the function of the need to make up for the solution, and then think about how to make homemade toys, so as to truly achieve the target, rather than casually make two things.
Question three: How to make homemade toys? This problem can be subdivided into several small problems: what to do? With what to do? Who will do it? How to do? What to do we have talked about two aspects of the basis, but also according to our understanding of the kindergarten curriculum or activities to break the original thinking constraints. Take outdoor activities as an example, many teachers think of making outdoor activities equipment, more from the perspective of sports to consider, but in fact, there are many activities that can be carried out outdoors, many kindergarten outdoor is no longer the kind of collective practice under the teacher's high control, but is changing into a variety of games carried out independently by the children, a variety of exploration, construction, art and other types of activities are rich and varied, the type of activity has changed, naturally, the equipment and equipment for the children's activities. Changes have occurred, naturally, the demand for equipment and materials will be more abundant and diversified, so the homemade teaching toys are more able to be carried out according to the individual, according to the conditions of the garden. The diversity of demand is brought about by the diversity of production materials, in addition to the common types of cardboard boxes, PPR tubes, bottles and cans and fabrics and other materials, you can also collect more natural and living things to make, such as with the change of seasons and collect all kinds of materials, family life, children's common pots and pans, and used furniture, small electrical appliances, etc., in the safe and sanitary treatment and moderate transformation, can be used as homemade equipment. can be used as raw materials for homemade instruments. In the participation of homemade groups, in addition to more teachers and parents to participate, children are also an indispensable group. Let the children from the original finished product? enjoyment? to the process of making? Participation Because the children's participation will bring more creative ideas to the production of educational toys, but also let us know more about? The customer's real needs. The children's participation will bring more creative ideas to the production of educational toys, and will also let us know more about the real needs of the customers, so as to make homemade educational toys more targeted. The process of children's participation has changed and enhanced the value and meaning of homemade toys. From the perspective of the curriculum to look at the homemade toys, then we will not only focus on the final result, but from the beginning, the process to the completion of the operation of the use of the classroom or the park will become part of the curriculum, and will last for a long time.
Homemade teaching toys, the need to start from the children, teachers and the actual needs of the garden and the level of reality to consider the matter of why do, how to do, to avoid? The form of a solid, lively walk through the process? The simple and crude process, to avoid that consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and energy, and finally just a bunch of ornaments not useful, or even a pile of garbage embarrassing situation. Homemade toys are kindergarten and kindergarten teachers need to continue to inheritance and innovation of a work, and inheritance and innovation of the base is really based on the actual, advancing with the times.
