How to Enhance Teachers' Understanding of Traditional Folk Games

The ways to improve teachers' understanding of traditional folk games are as follows:

First, do a good job in collecting folk games: teachers can look for corresponding traditional festivals and folk games, such as lion dance, dragon dance, dragon boat stilts and so on. Sports games include bungee jumping, shuttlecock kicking, pot throwing, hula hoop and so on. The games that are active in a certain area are: playing house, gobang, animal chess, sticky nose and so on. The teaching that can be carried out in the classroom includes games such as the eagle catching chickens, playing hamsters, listening to numbers and holding groups. Teachers should make children fully aware of these games, collect and classify them well, improve the efficiency of classroom teaching, and cultivate children's moral, intellectual, physical and artistic skills in an all-round way.

Second, innovate folk games: some traditional folk games may not be suitable for children's entertainment, so teachers should be able to change traditional folk games, let folk games penetrate into the process of education, add knowledge to games, let children learn corresponding knowledge points in the process of playing games, cultivate children's cognition of the world, let children absorb enough knowledge in the process of entertainment, and cultivate children's observation ability. Adapting traditional folk games can make children adapt to the trend of social development, and teachers can also infiltrate some knowledge mentioned in the course into folk games to cultivate children's ability of observation and exploration.
