Part 2
Wow! The annual Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner! In our curriculum, we have specially incorporated folk customs, legendary stories, and experiential activities related to the Dragon Boat Festival, guiding the children to understand this culturally significant traditional holiday. Through picture books, video appreciation, and discussions between teachers and students, we aim to help the children realize that the Dragon Boat Festival is not just about taking a holiday and eating zongzi; it is rich in historical culture and life wisdom.
In the course, the children have learned about many Dragon Boat Festival customs, such as wearing fragrant sachets, balancing eggs, dragon boat racing, washing with noon water, making zongzi, inserting calamus, and hanging mugwort—fun activities that teach them how ancient people used these customs to pray for peace and health. Furthermore, we have listened to exciting folk stories together, such as the origin of Qu Yuan throwing himself into the Miluo River, the legend of the White Snake, and the stories of inserting calamus and hanging mugwort to ward off evil and disease, allowing the children to feel the charm of traditional culture through these tales.
To make learning even more lively and interesting, the school has carefully planned a series of Dragon Boat Festival challenges and experiential activities, enabling the children to engage directly and participate in hands-on activities. Let’s follow the steps of our little stars from the Xin Yu class and explore what we can do and play during the Dragon Boat Festival, experiencing the beauty and significance of traditional celebrations amidst laughter!
