How to carry out effective origami activities in kindergarten classes

First, create an environment to stimulate children's interest

1. Create an environment in which children are interested. Vivid paper-cut works are posted on the exhibition wall for children to appreciate and feel the rich national flavor and atmosphere, which deeply attracts children. When the children were surrounded by admiration, I took the opportunity to guide them to feel the charm of paper-cutting art, and held my paper-cutting works in my hand for them to observe. Through contact with physical objects, children's curiosity can be aroused and their interest in paper-cutting is stronger.

In order to further improve children's interest in learning, we set up a paper-cut corner game, and put books on paper-cut areas for children to read at any time. And put some colorful paper and scissors for children to try to play with and cut, so that children's interest in paper-cutting will be higher.

2. Pay attention to creating an artistic paper-cutting environment for children. In order to cultivate children's interest in paper-cutting activities, we attach great importance to children's participation, decorate the activity room with children's and teachers' paper-cutting works, and encourage children to stick paper-cutting hanging pictures with various image combinations in the activity room, so that children can fully appreciate the form and shape of paper-cutting and perceive the language of paper-cutting works. We make full use of the materials around us, strive to create a paper-cutting environment that conforms to rural characteristics and is full of childlike interest, and stimulate children's interest in learning and desire to participate in paper-cutting activities.

Second, learn to cut paper from observation.

1. Based on observation, let children express themselves freely. For example, the paper-cutting activity "Apple", we first find the real apple for children to observe carefully. Observe the outline of the apple first, and then observe the details of the apple. Through observation, children can master the shape characteristics of apples, so they can cut them out quickly in practical operation.

2. Develop the habit of random observation in life and cultivate children's observation ability. In addition to learning to observe in activities, we should also learn to observe randomly in life. For example, when going out for activities, observe flowers, trees, pedestrians, birds and animals, children's game scenes and so on. And accumulate materials for children's paper-cutting.

3. Guide children to observe the same thing from different angles. For example, in the paper-cutting activity "Rabbit", children are not very familiar with rabbits, so we will find all kinds of pictures about rabbits for children to enjoy and observe, so as to understand the main characteristics of rabbits.

Third, the steps of paper-cutting teaching

How to teach children to cut paper? Teachers should put forward new requirements purposefully, systematically and step by step according to children's physical and mental development level, so that children can gradually improve their paper-cutting skills and aesthetics.

1. Children begin to learn paper-cutting, which is more suitable for visual cutting. Visual cutting is to cut the paper into a certain shape directly through imagination. There is no requirement for visual scissors. Children can cut out what they like at will. The purpose is to cultivate children's interest in paper-cutting and practice using scissors.

2. When children are interested in paper-cutting and learn to use scissors skillfully, they will be taught to cut along the line. That is, according to the graphic outline drawn on the paper, cutting along the line mainly requires hand-eye coordination, and scissors cut along the outline of the object, which is more difficult for children.

3. Finally, learn to fold scissors. Is to fold the paper once or several times, and then cut the connected patterns. When learning to fold scissors, you should pay attention not to fold too many layers and the paper should not be too thick, otherwise the child's wrist strength is not enough to cut; Secondly, note that the connection points of the pattern cannot be cut.

Fourth, paper-cutting teaching methods.

1. According to the teaching content, design activities that children are interested in, and combine various graphics with concrete things in life to make children feel interesting and easy to understand and accept. For example, if you practice cutting straight lines visually, you can design it as "learning to be a little chef", and let the children cut the square paper into slender noodles to see which little chef can make the noodles well; Cutting a circle along the line can be designed as "peeling apples" to see who peels apples for a long time.

2. The combination of paper-cutting with painting and pasting enriches the works. Due to the limitation of skills, children's paper-cut works can't accurately represent objects. For example, it is difficult for children to cut off small parts of owls-eyes and feathers, so they can be instructed to use strokes.

When the children cut out a graph, the teacher encouraged them to add something to the graph at will. The graphics cut by the children in the big class are more realistic and vivid, and adding some scissors to these graphics will be more vivid. For example, if you cut your eyes out of a cut flower, the flower will have an expression; When the sun cuts out its mouth, it will express its feelings. This method is beneficial to the development of children's thinking ability in images.

Paper-cut works can be used to play games or beautify the environment. Such as: cutting noodles and clothing, you can play the game of opening snack bars and shops; Cut flowers and window grilles can be used as holiday decorations; The cut snowflakes can be arranged as a theme wall decoration-beautiful winter. Seeing their works enrich the game and beautify the environment can stimulate children's interest in paper-cutting, stimulate their emotional experience of beautiful things and beautiful environment, and cultivate their sensitivity to beauty.

Fifth, develop children's imagination and creativity.

Most children naturally like to play with scissors and paper-cutting. In paper-cutting activities, they can get great interest and satisfaction through the coordinated movement of eyes, hands and brain. While exercising eyes, hands and brain, it plays a very important role in promoting children's intellectual development, enriching children's thinking imagination and stimulating children's creativity.

Children often come into contact with colorful paper and scissors in the activities of cutting and pasting, folding and cutting. By understanding and being familiar with the performance and function of these materials, children not only expand their knowledge, but also give them the opportunity to develop their thinking and imagination and carry out creative activities in paper-cutting activities. In this way, children's hands-on operation ability has been improved, and their creativity and divergent thinking have also been further improved.

Practice has proved that paper-cutting activities play an important role in children's development, so it is necessary to carry out paper-cutting activities in kindergartens.
