design background
In the morning exercise every day, the children in our senior class always like to jump from very high places. I asked them "Are you afraid?" Some said: "There is nothing to be afraid of, and it is not high. "; Some said: "I was scared at first, but when I saw they could jump, I jumped with them, and I wasn't scared anymore!".
After catching this point of interest, I read many early childhood education magazines. The outline points out that children are active participants in educational activities rather than passive recipients. The content of activities must be consistent with children's interests, needs, and receptive abilities, and guide children to develop towards the nearest target development zone. This activity was generated based on the above situation.

(3) Game "Little Paratrooper Delivering Rice"
How to play the game: Set up 4 "airplanes" with heights of 50 cm and 60 cm respectively. Children can voluntarily choose different heights to play the game. At the beginning of the game, the "little paratroopers" each walked through the boarding tunnel with a bag of "rice" to board the plane and skydive. After passing through the tunnel, they put the "rice" into the "rice warehouse" and returned to the back of the team from both sides. The game was repeated.
Teaching Reflection
Children in the upper class have a strong desire to explore, can cooperate with each other, and have a sense of competition. After this activity, the children have a new understanding of themselves, feel that they are powerful and brave, and have enhanced their self-confidence. During the contact, we found that these children like to explore, dare to try, and are very interested in jumping and cooperative jumping.
The design of this activity comes from a point of interest in children's daily life, and throughout the activity the children are always in a state of independence and positivity. Through mutual encouragement and help, they have learned how to protect themselves from falling from high places. Discovered some ways to jump.
