十二生肖的故事
今天课堂的主要内容是《十二生肖的故事》。
我们首先了解了十二生肖的由来：
相传在古代，人们没有办法准确计算时间和年龄。于是玉皇大帝便召集所有动物，举办了一场渡河比赛。最先到达终点的前十二名动物，就依次被用来命名年份，这便是十二生肖的起源。
接着，我们学习了一首轻松有趣的《十二生肖歌》。通过这首歌，孩子们能够快乐地记住十二生肖的排列顺序。歌曲链接：https://youtu.be/0tVcjLVah9k?si=ERbj4chB3vVCc5Jb
之后，我们玩了“猜一猜我是谁”的游戏。我给出关于某种动物的提示，孩子们根据线索来猜是哪一个生肖。这个活动让他们积极参与、充满兴趣，同时也再次巩固了对十二生肖名称和顺序的记忆。
手工时间：做一条可爱的蛇
材料： 剪刀、胶水、彩色卡纸、彩色笔。
制作步骤：
1. 取一张合适大小的彩色卡纸对折，开口朝右。
2. 在卡纸上画出蛇的半个头部轮廓，用剪刀剪下后展开，就得到一个对称的蛇头。
3. 用另一种颜色的卡纸剪出一条长长的长方形。
4. 将长方形纸条前后对折，折出齿轮状的蛇身。
5. 用胶水将蛇头和蛇身连接起来。
6. 再剪出一条分叉的舌头、弯弯的尾巴，并画上两只圆圆的大眼睛。
这样，一条生动有趣的小蛇就完成啦！
回家作业：
请孩子们回家后继续练习《十二生肖歌》，唱给爸爸妈妈听。同时，可以根据每种动物的特点模仿它们的动作，让学习更有趣、更生动。
The Story of the Twelve Zodiac Animals
Today’s lesson was about The Story of the Twelve Zodiac Animals.
We began by learning how the Chinese zodiac came to be.
A long time ago, people didn’t have a good way to keep track of years and time. The Jade Emperor decided to hold a river-crossing race among all the animals. The first twelve animals to reach the other side would each have a year named after them. That’s how the twelve zodiac signs were created.
Next, we learned a fun and cheerful Twelve Zodiac Song. Through this song, the children could easily remember the order of the twelve animals.

After that, we played a guessing game called “Who Am I?” I gave clues about different animals, and the children guessed which zodiac animal I was describing. This game made everyone very excited and helped them review the names and order of the zodiac animals once again.
Craft Time: Making a Little Snake
Materials: scissors, glue, colored paper, colored pens.
Instructions:
1. Fold a piece of colored paper in half with the open side facing right.
2. Draw half of the snake’s head on the paper, then cut it out and unfold it to get a symmetrical
snake head.
3. Cut a long rectangle from another color of paper.
4. Fold it back and forth like an accordion to make the snake’s body.
5. Glue the head and body together.
6. Cut out a forked tongue and a curved tail, then draw or stick on two big eyes.
And there you have it — a cute little snake is finished!
Homework:
Please encourage your child to sing the Twelve Zodiac Song at home for Mum and Dad, and to imitate the movements of each animal. This will help them remember the zodiac animals in a fun and active way.
