The Nursery Corner Game is a specific activity performed by young children in the play area. Additionally, the preparation of materials, the creation of the environment, and the allocation of time all have a certain impact on children. Therefore, how to reasonably solve these problems so that children can get more gains from corner games. This is a question we have been exploring.
The nursery corner activity is the extension of children's social experience, and plays a unique role in the development of children in all aspects. Besides, the nursery corner activity cannot only promote the improvement of children's abilities but also meet the development needs of different children. In fact, street corner activities are becoming one of children's favorite activities. At present, preschools should implement the Outline proposed "Preschool education should provide children with opportunities for free activities, support children to choose and plan activities independently, and provide opportunities for each child to express their strengths, achieve success, and enhance their self-esteem and self-confidence."
How to do a good job in preschool corner work is particularly important. It can be seen that the effective development of kindergarten corner activities is a prequisite for ensuring the effective development of the curriculum. When playing with children, you should pay attention to the following points:
1.Respecting Young Children’s Spontaneous Activities
The environment is divided into recessive environment and dominant environment and the environment is one way of the children's education. By creating a good environment for children, we can better promote the development of young children and give them an environment to start playing independently.
Children's spontaneous play activities are developed from the perception and exploration of the outside world. Furthermore, the corner game without external temptation is the purest sense of the game and it also has great creativity. Therefore, the creation of corners is an outcome that we make thinking from children’s perspective. At the same time, we try to form such impressions in the children’s minds：
Entertainment: I want to go play on the street corner. I miss this place very much during my break. I want to go there on Monday.
Acceptation： I love to go here and teachers welcome me to play everything. Trust: I am not scared here, and I know that everything is designed for me.
Exploration: I have the freedom to explore and experience places. There are a wealth of rides here, and these rides will change and be added in time.
Entertain: I want to play at the corner, I miss this place in my rest time, and I want to rush there to have fun on Monday.
2.Guiding Children to Grow up Correctly
The corner game is the development of creative thinking, and children can freely imagine in the corner game, improving children’s divergent thinking. We have to look at it with the eye of discovery. Through colorful corner games, children are given the opportunity to fully explore and discover, allowing children to continuously gain experience in games and communication. In the corner activity, teachers should personally sense children’s feelings, truly feel children’s changes, and perceive their minds, so that they can understand them, read children’s world, and correctly guide the growth of children.
3.Protect the Curiosity of the Young Children
If children are not satisfied with the game, they can easily become frustrated and discouraged, which can lead some children to stay away from area activities. On the contrary, the area activity will become the pressure of children.In fact, the problems that arise in the activities are all directional. Therefore, teachers and parents should seriously face the questions raised by children and answer them patiently.Moreover, teachers and parents should encourage young children to search the ways to solve the question, discuss the question with children together, and protect children’s curiosity and the thirst for knowledge, so that children can conduct the game freely in the game activity.
4.Corner Game Creating Spirit Treasure for Young Children
For young children, the corner game is not only conducive to the play and development of creativity, but also can stimulate children’s motivation for creativity. It is necessary for children to maintain sufficient enthusiasm and interest in one thing while playing games, so that children will have more motivation to participate in different types of activities.
“Where the freedom stops or is limited, the game will come to an end there,” we are the supporter and guide of children, therefore we are devoted to giving support to children in the game session and letting children show themselves adequately.
