Significance of carrying out festival activities in kindergartens

The significance of carrying out holiday activities in kindergartens;

First, traditional festivals in kindergartens promote the development of children's healthy emotions.

Emotion is the experience of people's attitude towards objective things in social activities. Enriching healthy emotions is a necessary condition for the high development of people's spiritual life. Emotion, in particular, is sunshine and rain for the development of children's wisdom, the cultivation of virtue and the growth of the whole person. Without emotion, there is no perfect childlike innocence. However, children's emotional life is not entirely spontaneous. We should attach importance to children's emotional education. The fundamental transformation of human beings should start with children's emotional education and aesthetic education. Traditional festivals in China have corresponding etiquette, which embodies the moral spirit. The traditional festivals in China have a long history, extensive and profound, and colorful holiday customs. From ancient times to the present, the ways of commemorating and celebrating traditional festivals are constantly changing with the changes of the times, but there is always something rooted in the depths and lasting forever, that is, the spirit and emotion of the nation. After deeply understanding the educational significance given by the traditional festival culture, we should grasp the core significance of the festival, grasp the key points, choose the value, identify and highlight the essence of the festival culture, and then design activities to develop children's healthy emotions in the traditional festival activities. For example, in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Spring Festival and other different festivals, children can feel the spirit of family harmony and respect for the elderly, thus producing a pleasant and comfortable emotional experience.

Second, traditional festival activities in kindergartens cultivate children's hands-on operation ability.

Children are allowed to do what they can when traditional festival activities are carried out in kindergartens. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival, the teacher introduced the origin and legend of the Dragon Boat Festival and its customs. Let the children know that the Dragon Boat Festival is a grand festival that our people like very much. Then, demonstrate the method of making zongzi, provide materials for children to participate in making zongzi, and finally let children taste zongzi. Through a series of activities, Dragon Boat Festival has become a festival that children love and look forward to. Children's initiative and enthusiasm have been brought into play, and their hands-on ability has also been developed.
