Tet (Lunar New Year) is coming, and everyone is filled with excitement and joy. I remember back in the day, every spring, we kids eagerly practiced dancing and singing to welcome Tet. That bustling, joyful atmosphere still feels vivid. Now, watching the little preschoolers excitedly practice the “Tet Dance is Coming,” my heart is filled with sweet childhood memories. What could be more wonderful than witnessing these little angels immerse themselves in a dance to welcome spring?
The Significance of Tet Dance in Preschool
The “Tet Dance is Coming” is not just a simple art activity but also carries profound educational meanings for preschoolers. It helps children develop physically, training their dexterity and flexibility. Moreover, the dance helps them understand the traditional cultural beauty of the nation, fostering love for their homeland from a young age. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool teacher at Hoa Sen Kindergarten in Hanoi, shared in her book “Nurturing Children’s Souls”: “Singing and dancing not only help children develop comprehensively but also serve as a bridge between traditional culture and future generations.”
Choosing Tet Dance Songs for Preschoolers
There are many dances suitable for the Tet theme for preschoolers. Some familiar and beloved dances include: “Tet is Coming,” “Spring Has Arrived,” “Oh Spring,” “Baby Wishes Happy New Year,” and more. When choosing a dance, it’s important to consider the age, abilities of the children, and the content of the dance to ensure it’s appropriate. For example, for toddlers, you should choose simple, easy-to-remember, and easy-to-perform dances. For preschoolers, you can choose more complex dances that require rhythmic coordination and better technique.
Costumes and Props for Tet Dance
Costumes and props are also important elements that contribute to the success of a dance performance. Traditional outfits like Ao Dai (long dress), Ao Ba Ba (traditional southern Vietnamese blouse and pants), conical hats, and turbans will make the children look even more adorable and charming. In addition, props such as apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, lanterns, lucky red envelopes, etc., will make the dance performance more lively and attractive. According to folk beliefs, red symbolizes luck and prosperity, so using red costumes during Tet also carries the meaning of wishing for a peaceful and prosperous new year.
