How to cultivate children's observation ability in tourism

how to cultivate children's observation ability in traveling?

The teacher who teaches my daughter is always puzzled by one thing: "Isn't your father a writer?"

the daughter nodded obediently.

"So, how did your composition ..." should mean: How could it be so horrible?

"what's your answer?" I asked my daughter when she talked about it.

Steve shrugged: "You didn't teach me."

well, it's my fault again, in order to wash away the shame that my daughter can't write a composition (is this her shame or mine? After all, she didn't write the composition well.) Before the family went out this year, I made a special agreement with her for three chapters. The most important point is: "When you go back to travel, you should bring manuscript paper. As a father, I will pour my lifelong learning into you in just 3 days."

tit-in-law didn't show an expression of joy: "You mean, I have to write a composition for 3 days?"

I gently touched Hu Zha and said with a smile of Kongming style, "Yes, yes."

"Summer vacation is over?" My daughter is a little indignant.

"No, your homework already includes writing a composition. I just moved it to write it when I was traveling! Don't worry, darling, put this knife of manuscript paper in the suitcase quickly. "

travel to write a composition? I believe you must start to frown and think, "How much pressure does this give children?"

That's right, but if you think about it in another direction, your senses are particularly keen when you travel: special scenery, strange things you haven't seen, fantastic stories about scenic spots ... Is it a pity if you don't record them while your memories are fresh?

Imagination and observation are what I want to teach her in these thirty days.

the first trick: wander before going out

whether traveling on the island or abroad, it should take some time to prepare for taking the children out for a trip.

Before I take my child to Sichuan for an eastward tour along the Yangtze River, I accompany her to wander on the globe. It turns out that Taiwan Province is so small and the other side is so big. Our journey will cross several provinces, with a distance of more than 2, kilometers.

There have been many writers in Chengdu, which is the hometown of Li Bai and San Su, and Du Fu once fled to Chengdu, where he founded a thatched cottage. The Yangtze River is also a poetic avenue, and Cui Hao, Du Mu, Li Bai and San Su all walked through it, leaving many good articles. My daughter loves the Three Kingdoms, too. There are allusions to the Three Kingdoms along the road, and we will all go there. I found out 3 Tang poems, first ticked off some poems that I must read, explained them to her and imagined them for her. We haven't walked the Yangtze River yet, but we have crossed the ancient and modern times and connected with the ancient Yangtze River.

Travel books are not dad's patent, and children should read the maps together. We pick up a thick pen and write in circles on the map. We may only go once in our life, which is worth spending on the map. Look at the travel books, write down the most anticipated scenic spots, and mark them lavishly on the map. Before we set out, longing has turned waiting into a kind of happiness.

the second trick: setting a theme for fun

every time we travel, we will choose a theme.

One year, I was looking for characters, and I was away from home. Every place had very special characters to find and play with. The word "Shaanxi Broadband" is pronounced as "Beyong Beyong", and there are also jingles to read (note); In the mansion where He Shen lives, there are many blessings hidden in the floor tiles; Signboards, road signs and bus stop signs everywhere, as long as you pay attention, are testing children's observation everywhere. The family was more excited than running to the Colosseum when they saw some strange fonts on the way.

this year, our theme is looking for lions. The temples and ancient towns on the other side like to put stone lions at the door, which is both imposing and eye-catching. Finding a lion and taking a picture of it, such a simple concept, has become the best attraction when we travel thousands of miles. After returning to China, pick them out, and each picture has a story to tell. The newly developed photos are the best postcards, which are given to friends and posted in the exercise book, even the students feel strange.

is your family going out recently? Don't forget to make preparations in advance, find a theme and have a big play.

the third trick: draw and write at any time to take notes

Taking children out to play, besides desperately taking pictures and recording a lot of videos that they have no time to watch when they come back, if they can find time to write and draw something, it is the best souvenir for traveling. Because of the child's handwriting, the memory at that time was not as cold as the photo.

prepare a blank notebook, prepare some pens (colored pencils or signature pens with different thicknesses), have coffee and lunch, and you can use them to draw and write as long as you catch a little free time. Adults are role models for children, and it is better to do it with parents and children.

The fourth trick: Dig treasure from the tour guide

The tour guide is your best helper. If you join a group or meet a commentator, our family rule is to follow the tour guide, who is always at the forefront. If you have any questions, you can ask them immediately. Besides, some tour guides are lonely, because many people don't like him to explain (especially adults). Children follow the tour guide: first, be the first to know if there is danger; Second, prizes are often received; Third, if you have any questions, someone will answer them immediately.

if there is no guide, parents are the best narrators. You must do your homework in advance. Don't go to a scenic spot and a historic site. Because you don't understand it, it's really a pity to pass by in a hurry.

If a child asks a question, praise him for his good question first, and don't tell him the answer immediately. Ask him to look around himself (observation), think about why (imagination), and finally confirm the answer, which is a way to improve his observation and imagination.

Fifth measure: As long as three museums are not greedy

Museums are the most popular attractions that parents take their children to, besides being cheap, on the other hand, they can quickly get to know a place. It usually has a brief introduction of the whole area (like 3D movies), and it also has the history of this place.

The museum has a wealth of collections, but if you want to read all of them, it will often overwhelm children's patience and interest.

what should I do?

Please learn from the Hubei Provincial Museum. Find a brief introduction to the museum at the entrance. There must be the best collection in the museum. Please check out the three treasures he wants to see most. If there is still time, choose three more special exhibitions he wants to visit.

just three, not more. There are bells chimed by Zeng Houyi, skull fossils of Yunxian people and the sword of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, in Hubei Provincial Museum, but it is my daughter's favorite:

I saw a cow of the Han Dynasty, which was about the size of a camera, with a strange smile and a bulging neck, as if practicing frog skills, so cute! But it's really strange that the head is big and the body is small.

The cow is still pulling a small car, which can only accommodate one person. If I had been a farmer at that time, it would have been nice to have a cow and a cart that could practice frog skills.

Because the shopping is high-quality goods and things that children are interested in, the children have good physical strength and high interest, so naturally they have more time to observe (the look of cows) and imagine (how farmers lived in those days).

if you are greedy and insist on dragging your children to visit 2, collections a day, oh, what kind of disaster would it be?

the sixth trick: slow down and meet with the touch

Some trips are really tiring, so we should try to create a little touch.

I remember the day I went to Leshan Giant Buddha, because the whole family woke up naturally, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon in Leshan.

I originally planned to take a 5-cent ferry to the other side to see the giant Buddha (what a thrifty father); What should I do when I arrive in Leshan, but the ferry stops because of the swift river? Do you want to spend 27 RMB on tickets to see the Giant Buddha, or do you want to turn around and go back to Chengdu at once without seeing anything?

Emotion trumps reason, so it is impossible to come to Leshan next time. We entered giant buddha at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The scenic spot is very popular. The giant Buddha has a long iron railing on his head. If you come in the morning, it will take at least two hours to queue up here and walk to the foot of the giant Buddha. But it was four o'clock when we arrived, and all the tourists were gone. By mistake, the family walked slowly, not in a hurry, and there was still time for their daughter to cram.

The giant Buddha walked around and returned to the head of the Buddha. My daughter wrote:

We found a quiet place with no tourists at the top of the Buddha-that was Dongpo Memorial Hall where Su Shi used to study. We found a gazebo where we could rest, chat and take photos. The breeze blew, the bamboo leaves fluttered, and they were relaxed and happy. After regaining their strength, they returned to the station and were ready to go home.

after seeing the giant Buddha, I realized that people were so small and the Buddha was so great, and my heart to compare with the giant Buddha completely disappeared.

On that day, I actually stayed in the scenic spot for only two and a half hours, but it became a scenic spot that my daughter never forgets. Because the golden sunshine is so beautiful? Or is it because the Buddha is too solemn?

no, I think just because I really don't hurry, it creates another kind of beauty. During the trip, take some time to alienate the crowd, quietly experience the local human history and gain more.

the seventh trick: only arrange one kind of exercise every day

every day, I arrange one kind of exercise for my daughter to play.

Write a food story and ask her to think of herself as a food reporter, and use her tongue to distinguish different flavors.

Give her ten yuan and let her go shopping to buy souvenirs and write an article about small things.

I went to see a face change and a stunt performance. The key point of the day was to carefully observe other people's performances and write my own experience of watching the opera in an orderly way ...

Fifteen compositions were completed in 3 days, and there was no special technique, just repeating the abilities I wanted her to practice-observation and imagination.

with keen observation, imagination can be brought into play.

a composition focuses on one skill. Just like a steamed stuffed bun with thin skin and many fillings, there are not many fancy skills for readers to bite the stuffing in one bite.

This kind of exercise is easy for parents to do. When going out with their children, they can practice from time to time even if they don't write, talk or discuss.

When I go to give a speech, many parents often ask me in confusion: "Why do our children love reading, but they can't write well?"

Give it a try. Take your children on a trip and practice your observation and imagination. Maybe you will see a little change when you come back.
