For young children, the value of playing teaching aids is not whether it is expensive, but whether it meets the needs of children's imagination development. Perhaps people think that simple toys can often have unexpected effects.

The most common in kindergarten is the building blocks, although the seemingly simple building blocks in the hands of children can be transformed into a variety of shapes: parking lots, high-rise buildings, schools, etc., talk about Zen, each time the shape is different, these are children through reality, in the mind after imagining the pose.

Fiddling with building blocks by reading codes can not only cultivate children's imagination and creativity, but also play a certain role in children's operation ability and observation ability.

3. Tell stories and appreciate literary works.

In childhood, young children do not have the ability to read, they like to listen to other people's stories, and sometimes they are very familiar with the stories, and the children will say the basic content. Children's stories are very fanciful, very close to the psychological characteristics of young children, with rich imagination, and their imagination is exaggerated and changeable.

When children listen to the story, the characters, scenes, and plots can deeply attract the childish hearts of children, and arouse children's imagination and curiosity. For example, when telling a story, it is not necessary to finish a story, so there can be a certain amount of space for children to fill in by themselves to enrich their imagination.

Methods of cultivating children's imagination: cultivating children's imagination through game activities, cultivating children's imagination through storytelling, reasonably setting up the teaching environment, and stimulating children's imagination.

1. Cultivate children's imagination through play activities.

Imagination is not a fantasy, it requires a certain amount of knowledge accumulation in life, and play is a favorite activity for young children. Through games, children will learn a lot of knowledge, and it will also have an unexpected effect on the cultivation of children's imagination.

For example, in the "** car" game activity, children use the small stool as a small train, ride on the small stool, and sing in their mouths: "Didi-Dudu——, a train is long and long, and it is busy transporting grain and coal. Drill the cave, cross the bridge, woo-woo-arrived at the station. ”

In this game, the toddler is already in the imagination and imagines himself as a train conductor, which effectively cultivates the child's imagination by allowing the toddler to imitate and imagine the role.

2. Cultivate children's imagination through storytelling.

Young children do not yet have the ability to read, they love to listen to other people's stories, and sometimes they are very familiar with the stories and can tell the basic content. Children's stories are very close to the psychological characteristics of young children, rich in imagination, exaggerated and changeable.

The characters, situations, and plots in the story can deeply attract children and arouse their imagination. For example, in the story of "The Wolf and the Lamb", the story can tell that the wolf pounces on the lamb and stops, and no longer continues to tell the obvious results, leaving room for children's imagination, allowing children to use their brains to imagine what the results will be, and children will come up with different results.

3. Set up a reasonable teaching environment to stimulate children's imagination.

In teaching, it is necessary to put the creative imagination of children in the first place, so that children can become the best of new knowledge. For example, in the spring, the teacher should take the children out of the classroom, look at the beautiful flowers, touch the trees, observe the small animals, and consciously guide the children to observe: What changes have happened to the animals and plants around us when spring comes?

Some children found that the willow of the willow tree had turned green, and small shoots had been extracted, and small flower bones had bloomed on the flowers; Some children pointed to the flower bed and shouted, "Teacher, what a fragrant orchid flower!" Therefore, in teaching, teachers should change the teaching environment according to the actual situation of children, so as to guide children to have a correct understanding of beautiful things, reasonable imagination, and bold play.

Here's how to develop young children's imagination:
