Small carpenters do furniture activities in the game of kindergarten large class science area.

1. Try to saw the foam with a saw, and assemble the sawed materials into "furniture" with a hammer and nails.

2. Draw design drawings before production, and make them as purposefully as possible.

3. Learn to use saws, hammers and other tools safely.

Prepare:

1. Wrap medical tape and wool around one end of a saw blade about 30 cm long to make a simple saw, or buy a small saw that is convenient for children to hold with one hand; Children gloves

2. Foam plastic, cork board (if cut into squares with side length 10 cm and rectangles with length 15 cm and width 10 cm), hammer and long nails.

3. Organize some pictures of furniture (beds, tables, stools, etc.). ) On the wall.

How to play:

Children independently design "furniture" and draw design drawings, then saw the foam into the required shape with a saw, and nailed the plastic foam and cork board together with a hammer and nails to assemble "furniture".

Guiding points:

1. When the activity is newly launched, help the children to clarify the operation process, that is, first plan, then cut and finally assemble; Put forward the requirements for the safe use of tools such as saws and hammers, and clarify the methods to protect yourself and your companions during use; Organize children to discuss how to plan and use materials reasonably, such as starting from the edge of materials and taking scattered materials back to the basket in time.

2. If children are eager to use tools such as saws from the beginning, they can be reminded to figure out what kind of furniture to make and then draw it.

3. Some children are slow to start work after entering the area, which may be because they are thinking, so the teacher should not interfere in a hurry. If the child is still motionless after a while, the teacher can ask, "What are you thinking?" "Is there any difficulty?" If the child has difficulty in design, the teacher can guide the child to observe the furniture photos on the wall and imitate them. If the child has difficulty in drawing, the teacher can guide the child to describe the envisaged furniture style in words and help the child draw the design drawings.

4. Observe whether the children can coordinate their hands when using the saw and whether the way of grasping the saw is safe.

5. Observe whether children can saw the corresponding shape according to their own design. If children have difficulty in cutting shapes, they can be guided to draw the corresponding shapes on the foam with a pencil before sawing.

6. Observe whether children have a sense of rational use of materials and whether they can use them from the edge of foam.

7. Observe whether children know the structural relationship between materials, and whether cork boards and foam plastics can be assembled into "furniture" with hammers and nails.

Extended activities:

Decorate homemade furniture with pigments from role games such as "Doll's House".
