Research on the method of integrating puppet show into kindergarten education

Kindergarten stage is the initial stage for children to learn language and all aspects of knowledge. At this teaching stage, if children are only allowed to learn the contents of the prescribed textbooks, it will not only be difficult to meet the needs of children's growth, but also make children present a single and dogmatic phenomenon in learning, which is not conducive to children's all-round growth. As an important language teaching method, puppet show can not only help children to learn rich language knowledge while watching, but also help children to have a preliminary understanding and understanding of the truth in social life through simple stories. Therefore, as kindergarten educators, we should attach importance to the role of puppet show in daily teaching, innovate teaching methods, and promote the healthy and all-round growth of children.

First, the necessity of developing puppet show teaching in kindergartens

As an important part of preschool education, preschool education covers many fields such as language, society, science and art. As far as art education is concerned, it includes music, dance, comedy and other contents and forms in addition to art and music in the traditional sense, with rich connotations and various forms. As a comprehensive content, drama includes music, dance, sculpture and other contents and methods, which expands the time range and spatial orientation of education and has strong visibility and comprehensiveness. In the process of drama performance, through rich story lines, combined with music, art, dance and other factors, the form and content of performance are more colorful. As a kind of drama, puppet show has more diversified forms of expression, is more suitable for children's age and psychological characteristics, and has a positive role in promoting children's education. Integrating puppet show into kindergarten education can diversify boring classroom teaching content, expand children's cognition and let children learn new knowledge while watching puppet show. It is very effective for the concrete implementation of children's art education to integrate puppet show into children's teaching, and at the same time, to reasonably integrate activity objectives and activities with other art forms, whether it is educational content or educational concept. Rugao Zhangtou puppet show originated from the folk, with distinctive national and regional cultural characteristics. With a long tradition of folk art, magical dance skills, exquisite "Zhangtou" production and superb operation skills, it is called a wonderful flower in the art garden. It also took the lead in breaking the performance mode of traditional puppet shows, and used artistic techniques such as puppets on the same stage, shadow play, cloth bags, thread lifting and lighting to show its charming charm on large and small stages at home and abroad.

Second, the method of integrating puppet show into kindergarten education

(A reasonable choice of puppet shows, to mobilize children's interest in learning.

Interest is the ability of children to learn, and children's attention and enthusiasm for learning are dominated by interest. According to this feature, kindergarten teachers can arrange a series of activities to cultivate children's interest in puppets. For example, guide children to make their own puppets. There are many kinds of puppets, such as bag puppets, marionettes, stick puppets and iron puppets. Traditional puppets are usually played by adults, so it is difficult for children to operate them. According to the age characteristics of children, traditional puppets are simplified: traditional puppets have many control lines, which are difficult for children to control. Reduce control points and control lines to make them simple and easy to play, such as making marionettes for small fish and dogs, so that the tail of fish and the feet of dogs can move, which can better adapt to children's production level and control ability and make them children's playmates.

(2) Encourage children to participate in the production of puppet shows and improve the participation of teaching.

Once children are infected by puppet shows and realize the uniqueness of the works, they will be eager to try. Appreciation will drive creation and creation will deepen the experience, because it is much more effective for children to witness the process of painting with their own eyes than to simply observe and appreciate it. In order to let children experience the process of making puppets, we must first enhance the purpose and planning of children's paintings. The club head connects the puppet's hands and feet with wooden poles, which is slightly complicated to make. We have reformed the puppet show, using straws or plastic water pipes with moderate thickness suitable for children to play as operating levers, taking animal images drawn by children as the main images and connecting them with lead wires or clips. Such materials and production methods can not only let children directly participate in the production, but also be light and easy to operate. Secondly, in the activity, let the children draw whatever they want, promote the children to gradually form their own style and improve their drawing ability. In order to develop children's expressive force and creativity, we can also provide children with empty puppet models, so that children can make puppets with various materials, so that children are more interested in puppets and more willing to make puppets. The above methods enrich children's painting methods and improve their design ability and interest in painting.

Encourage children to participate in puppet shows and enrich the forms and contents of children's self-expression.

The purpose of learning drama is not only to master its forms and methods, but also to train children's performance ability and self-confidence in public. Integrating puppet show into kindergarten education and letting children participate in the performance in person can not only let them exercise their stage expression, but also let them know how to make themselves the bright spot among many children. Some children are born with a strong interest in performance, and can actively complete the performance activities of puppet shows after learning puppet shows. However, due to the influence of their own personality and family environment, some children can't convince themselves to finish the puppet show even if they are interested in it. His inner cowardice can be gradually adjusted in the teamwork of puppet show performance and gradually stepped out of himself with the encouragement of his peers. When children exercise their self-expression ability in the puppet show, they can express themselves better in the future development.

Puppet show is not only an excellent traditional culture in China, but also an important means and way to enrich children's cognition and broaden their horizons. As a kindergarten, especially a kindergarten teacher, we should fully realize the position and role of puppet show in preschool education, flexibly integrate puppet show into daily teaching, and promote the healthy and all-round growth of children.
