“Spring is coming, Tet is here” – a familiar saying heralding the arrival of a new spring. Spring is not only the season of trees sprouting buds but also the season of joyful and vibrant dances. So, how to organize meaningful and effective spring dance activities for preschoolers? Let’s find out!
Spring in the Eyes of Children
For children, spring is a world full of colors, sounds, and scents. It’s the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms showing off their bright colors, the chirping of swallows calling spring, and the fragrant aroma of Chung cake and Tet cake. Through dance activities, children not only have fun and exercise but also feel and express their love for nature and their country in their own way.
Choosing Spring Dances for Preschoolers
Choosing a dance suitable for the age and abilities of children is extremely important. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a lecturer at the Central Pedagogical College, in her book “Dance Art for Preschool Children,” emphasizes: “The dance should have simple, easy-to-perform movements, cheerful melodies, and easy-to-remember and sing lyrics.” Some popular spring dances for preschoolers include: “Spring is Here,” “Swallows Return,” and “Welcoming Tet.”
Organizing Lively Spring Dance Activities
To make spring dance activities more lively and engaging, we can combine them with other activities such as singing, storytelling, and handmade crafts. For example, after dancing the “Swallows Return” dance, the teacher can tell the children a story about swallows and guide them to make paper swallows. I remember once organizing a spring dance activity for children, I prepared colorful costumes and combined them with lively music. The children were extremely excited, dancing and twirling like little birds. Seeing the bright smiles on their faces, I felt that my efforts were well worth it.
Spiritual Meaning of Spring
Spring for Vietnamese people is not only a change of seasons but also an opportunity to remember ancestors and pray for a peaceful and prosperous new year. “Drinking water, remembering the source” is a beautiful tradition of our nation, and educating young children about the spiritual meaning of spring is very necessary. Incorporating spiritual elements into dance activities, such as the Four Sacred Animals dance, will help children better understand the traditional culture of the nation.
