First, the current problems in the development of morning exercises in kindergartens
(A) Kindergarten teachers do not have a profound and comprehensive understanding of the role of morning exercises.
Preschool teachers can generally realize that morning exercises are an important way and form of children's exercise, but their functional orientation is very simple. They usually limit the role of morning exercises to developing children's movements, exercising and strengthening their physique, but lack sufficient understanding of cultivating children's emotions, good behavior habits and strong willpower in morning exercises, and even lack due attention to the mutual penetration of morning exercises and other educational activities, thus limiting the potential of morning exercises in kindergartens.
(2) The design and arrangement of morning exercises are not vivid.
At present, the action elements contained in morning exercises in kindergartens, from upper limbs, waist and lower limbs to kicking, jumping and relaxing, are often excessively bound by the actions of various parts of the body. The whole set of movements is gradual and mechanically rigid. Although the queue formation has a simple change, the change form is single and lacks interest and fluency. When doing exercises, the standing formation is always a few columns, which makes morning exercises a kind of "militarized" training, too serious, and children lack interest in participating.
(3) The materials used in morning exercises and the selected contents are very simple.
The music chosen for morning exercises is usually not fresh and lively enough, or it is not changed for a long time, or some adult pop songs are simply chosen, and the lyrics are extremely uncoordinated with morning exercises; Secondly, the instruments used in morning exercises are single, mostly ribbons, sticks and safflower. And the elements of the times and local characteristics are not fully reflected, lacking creativity; Thirdly, morning exercise is a part of health education, but it is not well integrated and infiltrated with other activities in specific forms.
(d) Teachers can't devote themselves wholeheartedly.
When teachers do exercises, they often become a mere formality, their movements are not standardized, their bodies are not beautiful, and they can't play a good demonstration role. In addition, some teachers regard exercise as a task, ignoring emotional communication and body language interaction with children, unable to devote themselves to morning exercises, and not good at using morning exercises to communicate with children, resulting in morning exercises becoming a mere formality and failing to play their due educational role.
Second, improve the strategy of kindergarten morning exercises
(1) Change ideas and give full play to the educational function of morning exercises.
Preschool teachers should deeply understand the overall educational function of morning exercises from the following aspects: first, morning exercises can not only enable children to achieve the normal development of internal organs and limbs through standardized and scientific movements, but also promote the coordination and flexibility of movements of various parts of children's bodies, improve children's physique, enhance their physique and improve their health; Secondly, morning exercises can cultivate children's positive emotions, let children exercise happily with the accompaniment of music, and get a happy emotional experience, so as to devote themselves wholeheartedly to kindergarten life; Thirdly, morning exercises can cultivate children's sense of team and rules, promote in-depth interaction and communication among children, and improve their social development level through the queue change or action coordination of multi-person cooperation; Fourthly, morning exercises can effectively integrate the educational content in other fields of kindergartens, which can not only cultivate children's good qualities of courage and strength, but also develop children's spatial perception and orientation perception, and cultivate children's sense of music rhythm and expressiveness.
(2) Ingenious conception to realize the originality of the design and arrangement of morning exercises.
The design and arrangement of morning exercises should be based on the characteristics of kindergartens and children's age characteristics, hobbies and development needs at different stages, and should be comprehensively considered from the aspects of content, movement and formation, so that the arranged morning exercises can be close to children's lives and reflect suitability, fun and playfulness. For example, children in small classes are young and have poor persistence of attention and will. Therefore, we can arrange some short, warm and affectionate animal imitation exercises and situational game exercises for them. In addition, the development of small class children's movements is not coordinated enough. The arranged morning exercises should be simple and repeated, and there should not be too many changes in direction. The upper and lower limbs should not move too much, and the formation should be free to stand in a circle or disperse.
The coordination and flexibility of children's movements in middle and large classes have been well developed, and the difficulty of morning exercises can be appropriately increased, such as the coordination of upper and lower limbs, the change of direction, the cooperation of two or more people, and the change of formation, such as jumping in line and joining the team. In addition to unarmed exercises, children in middle and large classes can also do some light weapons exercises, martial arts exercises, rhythm exercises and so on. Hand-held musical instruments can knock and shake to make sounds, and all children can also shout some simple and powerful passwords to create a warm atmosphere. In a word, the arrangement of morning exercises should perfectly combine exercise, queue training and physical exercise, and achieve the combination of movement and quietness, concentration and dispersion, and prescribed action and free action, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of young children to participate in morning exercises and make them develop in an all-round way.
(3) Raise funds from various sources to enrich the contents and forms of morning exercises.
In addition to the practice of movements and the change of formation as the core content, morning exercises should also pay attention to the integration of music, musical instruments, dance, art and language education in content selection and specific forms, so as to enrich the content and form of morning exercises in kindergartens and realize the infiltration and integration of morning exercises with activities in other fields. First of all. Music is the soul of morning exercises. Appropriate music can stimulate and mobilize the enthusiasm of children to participate in morning exercises, and cultivate their aesthetic interest, sense of rhythm and expressiveness. Therefore, preschool teachers should choose music with lively rhythm and beautiful melody as the accompaniment of morning exercises. Small classes are mainly children's music, and can have lyrics, which are suitable for children to sing while doing exercises, such as Three Bears and Lulu Lala. Middle and large classes can choose lively cartoon theme songs or adult songs full of festive atmosphere, such as "Health Song" and "Wash and Brush".
