The school holds a folk culture festival. What do you want to say to your children?

Traditional festivals are precious spiritual and cultural heritage left by our Chinese nation for thousands of years. It contains the fine virtues of our people, such as respecting the old and loving the young, being diligent and kind, and being kind to others. Although each festival has its own origin and customs, it advocates family reunion and harmony, showing the good wishes of the working people in China. These traditional festivals with national characteristics include: Mid-Autumn Festival for family reunion, Double Ninth Festival for the elderly, jubilant Spring Festival, Lantern Festival with lanterns, Chinese Valentine's Day, Dragon Head Rise, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and so on.

Festival culture is rich in connotation and has a long history. Different nationalities and regions have different customs. It is far from enough to carry out the infiltration education of traditional festivals in kindergartens, but it also needs the understanding and support of parents. Therefore, we pay special attention to the excavation and utilization of parents' resources in the research process. The Guiding Outline of Kindergarten Education points out: "Parents are important partners of kindergarten teachers. In line with the principle of respect and equality, attract parents to actively participate in kindergarten education, strive for parents' understanding, support and participation, and actively support and help parents improve their educational ability. "In teaching practice, I realized that the creation of a good educational environment is inseparable from a rich material foundation, and the integration and utilization of resources is inseparable from effective home interaction. First, close family ties and establish good family relations of equality and cooperation.

In the traditional festival education activities, the origin and customs of various traditional festivals are publicized through the "traditional festival column". Teachers in each class also set up an information platform for exchanging traditional festivals between families in the form of "home through train", "home contact column", "parents' mailbox" and "theme wall" according to the actual situation of families. When every traditional festival comes, a "holiday questionnaire" will be sent to every family to find out how much parents know about the origin of traditional festivals, and how Yumen locals live traditional festivals and their folk customs. For example, we learned from the questionnaire of the Dragon Head-raising Festival that on February 2 of the lunar calendar, adults and children should shave their heads to commemorate the day when the dragon heads up, which also means that they can be as strong and take off as dragons. On the day of the festival, we encourage children to follow their parents to get a haircut, so that children can feel the lively scene of people vying for a haircut during the festival. Then through organizing and implementing a series of theme activities such as understanding dragons, festivals and the rise of dragons, and the origin of the Year of the Loong, let children know about the folklore of dragons and festivals, and understand that different places will have different customs when celebrating traditional festivals. Through the questionnaire of Lantern Festival, we know that there are some customs in Yumen area, such as building social fires, setting off fireworks, enjoying lanterns and eating Yuanxiao. We mobilize parents to lead their children to watch social fire shows and fireworks during festivals. With the support and guidance of parents, we designed and organized the artistic activities of "rubbing Yuanxiao" and "making Yuanxiao", so that children can feel the festive, lively and peaceful holiday atmosphere through hands-on operation and personal experience, and deepen their understanding and perception of the Lantern Festival. Second, effectively organize parents to participate in the creation of kindergarten environment and the implementation of educational activities.

In the traditional festival activities of kindergartens, according to the customs and characteristics of each festival, parents' resources are used to carry out various forms of home interaction activities inside and outside kindergartens, which not only makes parents and children feel the festive atmosphere of reunion, harmony and happiness, but also effectively promotes the feelings between parents and children.
