Wow! The annual Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner! In our curriculum, we have specially integrated 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 help the children realize that the Dragon Boat Festival is not just a holiday for eating rice dumplings, but also rich in historical culture and life wisdom.
In our lessons, 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 rice dumplings, inserting calamus, and hanging mugwort. They also understand that these customs were used by ancient people to pray for peace and health. Additionally, we have enjoyed captivating folk stories together, such as the tale of Qu Yuan throwing himself into the Miluo River, the legend of the White Snake, and the stories of using calamus and mugwort to ward off evil and prevent disease, allowing the children to feel the charm of traditional culture through storytelling.
To make learning more lively and engaging, the school has carefully planned a series of Dragon Boat Festival challenges and experiential activities, allowing children to participate hands-on and operate practically, while discovering Dragon Boat culture through joyful play. Let’s follow the footsteps of our little friends and explore what activities we can do and play during the Dragon Boat Festival, feeling the beauty and meaning of this traditional celebration amidst laughter!
