Introduction: Many parents are worried about how to live with their children in our various traditional festivals in China, so that they can feel the profound culture of the motherland, but also get a deeper education. In fact, as long as the content and form of preparation are both correct and reasonable, traditional festivals can play a role in edutainment!
The little year is coming, and Mengmeng begins to discuss with the family about buying New Year goods. At this time, seeing his son Lele, who just turned 4 this year, seems to be very interested, and has been asking "Mom, what else do we eat besides eating tangyuan on the day of the new year", "Why does Grandma smear sugar on the statue of the king of the stove pasted in the kitchen every year?" Does he also like to eat sugar?" and so on.
She did not expect that her son was so interested in the customs of the day of the New Year, so she asked him: "Son, do you like the New Year very much?" When he heard it, he didn't want to go back: "Of course! Our teacher said that the little year is very interesting and can do a lot of things! But I don't know what I can do. ”
Seeing the child's interested appearance, dreaming of the bad habit of littering with toys and refusing to clean up, and then remembering the custom of the small year, there is a custom of "sweeping dust", that is, cleaning up the house and cleaning up the window to welcome the New Year.
So he said to Lele: "There is also a custom of sweeping dust in the little year, which is very suitable for you!" Sure enough, when he heard such a special name, he immediately said, "Mom, what can I do?" "Sweeping the dust means sweeping away all the dust, you can wipe your toys, or put them neatly", listening to my mother's words, I was full of energy.
And Mengmeng also took the opportunity to educate him: "Sweeping dust can not only be done in a small year, but also in ordinary times, so that we can live in a clean place." "Well, I'll do a good job of sweeping the dust later," the son promised very seriously.
The famous educator Tao Xingzhi once said: "Life is the best education, and the education of children will be integrated into life." And society is also a school! ”
Just like dreams, you can mobilize your child's enthusiasm through some customs in the small year. Next, let's see which customs, legends, etc. in the small year can play an edutainment effect. In the 23rd year of the Waxing Moon, parents may wish to start from these aspects!

Generally speaking, every household will carry out the custom of "sweeping the dust" in the new year, because "dust" is pronounced the same as the old "Chen", which means to remove the Old and welcome the new. The northern region is called "sweeping the house", and the southern region is generally called "dust dusting", that is, a thorough cleaning is carried out to make the room window clear.
Second: bathing, haircut
"If you have money and no money, shave your head for the New Year", this is a saying circulated during the folk new year. It is intended to wash away the obscurity, dust, etc. of this year to welcome the good fortune of the new year. Therefore, in general, when the child is young, everyone will take a very meticulous bath, and also carry out haircuts.
On this day, in addition to taking the child to bathe and get a haircut, you can also emphasize to him the importance of loving cleanliness and hygiene, if a person is sloppy, naturally will not get the love of others, things will not go smoothly, of course, there will be no good luck!
Third: window flowers, spring union
Window stickers are an indispensable part of the folk activities of the Little Year, and various window flowers with auspicious and festive styles are pasted on the windows to create a happy atmosphere for the New Year, which has a history of thousands of years.
Cutting window flowers with parents and elders can exercise hands-on ability and add a happy atmosphere of family affection. Generally, you can choose magpie Dengmei, Hehe Erxian, Lotus Year fish and other patterns.
Writing the Spring Festival and sticking the Spring Festival is an important matter of the traditional Spring Festival, whether it is a witty description of the festival or a poem full of blessings, etc., which can make the atmosphere of the Spring Festival more festive. Parents and their children post the Spring Festival Together, which can not only enhance cultural literacy, but also let children practice brush writing together and experience the profundity of Chinese culture!
Fourth: Eat traditional food
The continent is vast, making each place have its own unique traditional cuisine. Even on the day of the New Year, the food customs of different places are different.
Mo Yan once wrote in "Past Years": "The dinner of the little year is a meal of dumplings." "It can be seen that the young people in the northern region are used to eating dumplings.
02, not only a small year, the significance of seriously celebrating each traditional festival can not be ignored
According to a survey conducted by the Atlanta Daily in the United States, for children who grew up in families that pay attention to the sense of ceremony, their childhood memories will be more interesting and happy, and the happiness obtained because of the sense of ritual is far greater than the happiness brought by school or career.
And can take each festival seriously, whether it is to seriously understand the origin of the festival, experience various customs, taste specific cuisine, etc., not only to create a sense of ceremony, but also to make the child's life not boring, plain, but become colorful, seeing, cultural literacy, understanding of Chinese culture, hands-on ability and so on have a very positive positive effect.
