The first step in queuing is to "drive the train".
Games are children’s favorite activity. Suhomlinsky said: “The world is shown to children in the middle of games.” We first let children experience it through the game of “driving a train”. queue.
"My train is about to leave!" The teacher will be the locomotive first, and the children behind, with the help of another teacher, will pull the clothes of the child in front or put their hands on the shoulders of the child in front. , slowly moving forward with the "train" under the leadership of the teacher. When it is found that some children have left the team or are pushing and making trouble in the team, the teacher will say: "It seems that there is something wrong with this carriage. Let me fix it!" While talking, he held his little hand. He pulled back into the group. Let children learn to queue while initially experiencing the fun of group activities. Letting the children take turns being the locomotive is also something children at this stage like to do.
Although this kind of game can gather children to a destination in an orderly manner, at this stage, children have not yet learned to line up in the true sense and are just passive followers. In order to let the children learn to line up, we entered the second step of queuing a week later.
The second step in queuing is "one by one".
Because of the experience of driving a train the previous week, we tried to let the children let go of their little hands and use their "eyes" to line up.
First of all, we let the children understand what "following one by one" means by watching TV, watching the older brothers and sisters queuing up, and operating on the desktop. The cartoon "Teletubbies" is a favorite cartoon for children in the primary class. We let the children watch how the four Teletubbies walk in line; they watch how the older brothers and sisters follow each other during morning and afternoon exercises every day. Lining up the plush toys and letting them learn to "follow each other" is also a desktop activity that children like. These activities not only let the children know to look at the children in front of them and follow the route of the children in front, which is called "one by one", but also let the children know that if they go outside the line, they must quickly return to the middle of the line. Come.
Secondly, it is "practical practice". Several teachers in the class first demonstrated how to walk "one by one" and led the children to discuss "Who is Teacher Liu looking at?" "What to do if you get too fast" to help children understand the essentials of walking. When the children are lining up and preparing to walk, the teacher asks the children to talk about who they should look at and who they should follow when walking. After the children have mastered the essentials of "walking one by one", most children can control it better. My movements are better.
However, there are also some children who tend to deviate from the team or fall behind due to poor self-control and easy distraction. For these children, we will take them two more times to visit various places and places in the kindergarten. Other classes, strengthen the practice, they are also happy to participate.
In this way, first go one group at a time, then two groups walk together, until the whole class comes out together and walk along the circle. The children have basically learned to "walk one by one".
The third step in queuing is "hold hands and follow each other".
The functional rooms and dormitories of our kindergarten are opposite the kindergarten, and we have to cross a road in the middle. In order to save time crossing the road and prepare for taking the children out for walks and play in the future, we also need to teach the children " Two by two, hold hands and follow." Children have the walking experience of "walking one by one", so it is not too difficult to learn "walking in pairs holding hands", but some children have to look around when walking, forget to walk, or easily deviate from the line while walking. We ask the children with strong abilities to lead the children with weak abilities, and ask the children with relatively concentrated attention to lead the children whose attention is easily distracted, so that the children can remind and help each other while walking.
Piaget once said: "Success is understanding." Based on a true understanding of children's various characteristics, needs, and experiences, proposing rules suitable for young children is an effective and reasonable starting point for regular training. This is how we help children who are new to kindergarten learn to line up.
