2026年01月27日 25/01/2026 Reception A 课堂教学内容和家庭作业
今天的课程我们先复习了以前讲过的12生肖，我给孩子们看了12个生肖的谜语，我先给孩子们看了提示语，比如：住在主人家，喜欢摇尾巴。总是汪汪叫，小偷最怕他。 答案：狗。这个游戏非常得到孩子们的喜欢和认可。
在认识了那么多动物之后，我就想到了中国有很多用动物故事做比喻的成语，非常形象的生动的描述了成语的含义。我在这堂课中，讲了四个成语分别是井底之蛙，守株待兔，狐假虎威，画蛇添足。
井底之蛙：
从前，有一只青蛙住在井底。
它抬头望去，只能看到一小块天空。
于是它以为，天空就是这么小。
有一天，另一只海龟告诉它，其实外面的世界非常大。
最后青蛙才发现自己的世界是如此之小。
道理：
我们要打开思维去学习新鲜事物，而不是自以为是把自己有限的认知当成全部。
守株待兔：
有一天，一个农夫看见一只兔子撞到树桩上死了。
他非常高兴，把兔子带回了家。
从那以后，农夫不再干活了。
他每天守在树桩旁，期待再有一只兔子跑来。
可是一只兔子也没有再出现。
道理：
你不能只等运气。
必须靠自己努力。
狐假虎威
一只狐狸被老虎抓住了。
狐狸对老虎说：“我是百兽之王，所有动物都怕我。”
老虎不相信它的话。
于是狐狸走在前面，老虎跟在后面。
当其他动物看到老虎时，都吓得逃跑了。
老虎以为它们是害怕狐狸。
道理：
狐狸本身并不强大，
它只是借助老虎的力量来吓唬别人。
画蛇添足
很久很久以前，有几个人得到了一壶酒。
酒不够大家一起喝，于是他们决定玩一个游戏。
他们说：“我们来画一条蛇吧，
谁最先画完，谁就可以喝酒。”
大家开始画画。
有一个人画得很快，很快就完成了，他非常得意。
他说：“我是最快的！我还有时间，给我的蛇加上脚吧。”
于是他在蛇身上画了脚。
就在这时，另一个人也画完了。
他说：“蛇是没有脚的，你输了！”
第一个人最终没能喝到那壶酒。
道理：
它告诉我们做事情要恰到好处，不能多此一举，否则适得其反。
DIY 时间：
我今天让孩子们用纸盘子画一个动物，让他们开动脑筋可以画生肖的动物也可以画其他的动物。
材料：纸盘子，彩笔。
家庭作业：
希望家长能陪孩子们继续练习《恭喜发财》这首歌，然后熟记里面的动作和歌词。
Today’s Lesson
In today’s class, we first reviewed the 12 Chinese zodiac animals that we had learned before. I showed the children riddles for all 12 animals. I started by giving them hints, for example:
“Lives in its owner’s home, loves to wag its tail. Always barks “woof woof,” thieves are most afraid of it.”
Answer: Dog
This game was very well received and enjoyed by the children.
After learning about so many animals, I thought of how many Chinese idioms use animal stories as metaphors. These idioms vividly and creatively describe their meanings. In this lesson, I introduced four idioms: “The Frog at the Bottom of the Well,” “Waiting for a Rabbit by the Tree Stump,” “The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Might,” and “Drawing Legs on a Snake.”
⸻
1. The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
Once upon a time, there was a frog living at the bottom of a well.
When it looked up, it could only see a small patch of sky.
So it thought the sky was really that small.
One day, another sea turtle told it that the world outside was very big.
Finally, the frog realized how small its own world really was.
Moral:
We should open our minds to learn new things instead of thinking that our limited knowledge is everything.
⸻
2. Waiting for a Rabbit by the Tree Stump
One day, a farmer saw a rabbit run into a tree stump and die.
He was very happy and took the rabbit home.
From that day on, the farmer stopped working.
He stayed by the tree stump every day, waiting for another rabbit to come.
But no rabbit ever appeared again.
Moral:
You cannot rely on luck alone.
You must work hard yourself.
⸻
3. The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Might
A fox was caught by a tiger.
The fox said to the tiger, “I am the king of all animals; all animals are afraid of me.”
The tiger did not believe it.
Then the fox walked ahead while the tiger followed behind.
When the other animals saw the tiger, they all ran away in fear.
The tiger thought they were scared of the fox.
Moral:
The fox itself is not strong;
it only scares others by relying on the tiger’s power.
⸻
4. Drawing Legs on a Snake
A long time ago, some people received a pot of wine.
There wasn’t enough for everyone to drink together, so they decided to play a game.
They said, “Let’s draw a snake. Whoever finishes first can drink the wine.”
Everyone started drawing. One person drew very quickly and finished first. He felt very proud.
He said, “I’m the fastest! I still have time, I’ll add legs to my snake.”
So he drew legs on the snake.
Just then, another person finished.
He said, “Snakes don’t have legs. You lost!”
The first person could not drink the wine in the end.
Moral:
This teaches us to do things appropriately and not to do extra unnecessary actions, or it may backfire.
⸻
DIY Time
Today I let the children use paper plates to draw an animal.
They could use their imagination to draw a zodiac animal or any other animal.
Materials: Paper plates, colored pens
⸻
Homework
I hope parents can continue practicing the song “Gong Xi Fa Cai” with their children, helping them memorize both the lyrics and the actions.
