Implementation principles and requirements of kindergarten traditional festival activities in a multicultural context

The principles and requirements for the implementation of traditional kindergarten festivals in a multicultural context are as follows:

(1) Preparation and program development

If the festival content is compared to a seed, then the form of the activity is the flowerpot, the age of the children's characteristics is the soil, and the resources of the family and community are the sunshine and rain.

The appropriateness of the form of festival activities is directly related to whether children can experience the cultural connotation. Each festival can make comprehensive use of various forms of activities, such as visits, conversations, behavioral analysis, scenario performances, game activities, social practice activities, etc., so that young children can experience the culture and customs of traditional festivals, improve their moral awareness, enrich their moral emotions, and gradually help them form certain moral behaviors and habits.

(2) Tightening the theme and perfecting the process

When implementing the festival activity program, teachers need to combine the actual situation of the park and the class, and design the content of the festival activities around the connotation of the festival and the learning needs of the children. Different festivals have different connotations and themes, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, which embodies the theme of reunion and harmony. Based on the theme of the festival, each thematic activity follows the pattern of "grinding thematic educational activities - displaying excellent activities - reflecting on and evaluating".

When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the children wear traditional Chinese costumes and recite classic poems; in the National Day "Nationalities Celebration" activity, the children wear costumes of various nationalities and express the characteristics of China's multi-ethnicity, as well as the cultural characteristics and customs of various nationalities in various forms such as songs and dances. Different forms of activities allow children to better feel the connotation of the festival and develop a love of traditional culture.

(3) Deeper Exploration and Generation of Sub-themes

With the continuous development of China and globalization, we need to pay more attention to the selection of kindergarten festivals, which is both innovative and developmental, and also allows children to find their own preferences through their own activities. In the process of carrying out the activities, we need to explore y, to stimulate more inspiration, to find the core clues corresponding to each festival, and based on the children's actual life activities, so that they can easily interpret and obtain these clues, in order to stimulate the sub-themes of festivals that the children are interested in.

Objectives of traditional festival education in kindergarten

In the process of traditional festival education research in kindergarten, the teachers formulated the following objectives according to the cognitive, emotional and physical and mental development of the children, and combined with the actual professional development of the teachers: to feel the atmosphere of the festival and understand the meaning of traditional festivals; to explore the deep cultural connotations, and to carry out enlightenment education; to enrich the knowledge of the children; and to make the children's lives more meaningful and interesting. Enrich children's knowledge, develop children's intelligence, and cultivate children's interpersonal skills.
