北姚湾六一儿童节活动

一年一度最受孩子们欢迎的节日——六一节,马上就要到啦!所以在2015年5月30日,北姚湾中心就给北姚湾的孩子们提前庆祝了这个属于孩子们的节日。
下午2时,北姚湾“庆六一——我型我秀才艺秀”正式开始,随着北姚湾教堂蓝色大门的打开,孩子们迫不及待地奔向这次活动的主要举办地点——小教堂。孩子们各就各位,安静地坐好后,我们的活动就要开始啦!
四位可爱的小主持人们,用他们稚嫩的嗓音宣布活动正式开始,并依次邀请小朋友们上台表演。第一个节目是情景剧《龟兔赛跑》,孩子们通过情景剧的表演,讲明白了这样一个道理:“谦虚使人进步,骄傲使人落后。”这个表演十分有教育意义,既给了台下小朋友们上了一颗,同时也是给表演的小朋友们对这个道理有了更加深刻的理解。
之后的节目也精彩不断,有的孩子们在台上演唱歌曲,有的孩子们随着音乐劲歌热舞,有的孩子们重新演绎了《小红帽》这部经典童话故事,有的孩子们还带来了自创的魔术表演。
在这些节目当中,最受孩子们欢迎的还是游戏环节,孩子们都争前恐后地举手报名参加,这些游戏将整个活动的气氛推向了高潮。第一个是指手划脚游戏,两两一组,孩子们用丰富的肢体动作引得台下笑声不断。第二个游戏是我们都耳熟能详的抢板凳,大家都玩的不亦乐乎。
才艺秀环节就要落下帷幕了,最后参加表演的孩子们一同上台,进行了属于他们别具一格的T台秀。在这小小的教堂里,小小的舞台上,他们就是我们眼中最闪亮的明星。
最后是孩子们最期待,也是最激动人心的时刻——发礼物啦!
才艺秀环节结束后,孩子们整齐地排好队前去小教室领取各自的礼物,看着孩子们拿到礼物欢乐的笑脸,我们的付出都是值得的。
能有这次活动的圆满举办,离不开志愿者们的鼎力相助,所以在此感谢耀华国际学校和上海大学蓝丝带爱心联盟的志愿者们,以及众多的社会志愿者对于此次活动的支持,谢谢!

Beiyaowan Children’s day activities

Children’s favorite time of the year is here – Children’s Day!To celebrate Children’s Day, Beiyaowan held a celebration on May 30th 2015 in anticipation of the day.
At 2pm Beiyaowan held a talent show for the children. All of the children eagerly gathered at the main blue door of the Beiyaowan center in anticipation of the fun event. After all the children were in the center and seated the activities could finally begin.
Four cute little MCs hosted the event and used their cute voices to announce the different performances. The first performance was the “Turtle and the Hare race.” The children told the story through their performance and the lesson of “modesty and conceit.” The play was full of educational lessons, giving both the children on and off the stage a better understanding of this principle.
The performances later on were also full of surprises, with some kids singing and dancing on stage, some children performing the classic fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” in a brand new style, and even some children showing their own original magic show.
The children liked the game portion of the day the best. They all tried to get involved and competed with great enthusiasm. The first game had the children divided into teams of two and they had to mimic each other’s body movements. Everyone was laughing and having a good time. The second game was the well-known game musical chairs. Everybody had a good time trying to get a seat.
As the talent show was about to come to an end, all of the kids who performed came to the stage one last time. They were all brilliant stars on this small stage.
As the activity came to an end the children eagerly awaited their favorite part of the day, getting presents!
After the talent show was over, the children neatly lined up to go to the small room to receive their gifts. Seeing their happy faces made all of the preparation worth it.
The Beiyaowan activity could never have been possible without the help from our wonderful volunteers. We would like to thank all of the volunteers from Yaohua international school and the Shanghai University Blue Ribbon Love Alliance for their great support in helping us run this great event.

孩子们期盼已久的六一儿童节就要到了。在忧道公益的支持和帮助下,上海中学国际部六年级的女童团在5月26日来到青浦的爱迪尔农民工幼儿园,和那里的孩子们一起过节。10名学生和7名家长老师参加了此次活动。
女童团员们准备了丰富的礼物和节目。这次六一庆祝活动的主题围绕两个方面。一方面女童团员们带来了不同的乐器演奏和舞蹈,带领孩子们体验音乐的美丽。另一方面我们会介绍复活节,让小朋友们体验地球另一边的孩子们喜闻乐见的游戏。
Oriana首先上台表演钢琴曲《加勒比海盗》。她简单介绍了音乐的背景,让小朋友们聆听的时候在音乐中寻找大海的情绪和故事。表演完成,Oriana和同伴Olivia一起利用钢琴伴奏教小朋友们唱英文歌曲《Mary has a little lamb》。虽然英文歌词对孩子们来说有点难,小朋友学习得非常认真。
会用气球做小动物的Connie化身为兔子宝宝,带着不同的动物角色,给小朋友娓娓道来复活节的来历和故事。小朋友们被她魔术般变出的小动物角色深深迷住了。之后Ashley和Connie一起教小朋友们画复活节彩蛋。

Semmi和Kay为小朋友们带来了大提琴和小提琴的弦乐二重奏。她们首先为小朋友们讲解了两种乐器不同的音色特点。之后她们的演奏好像两个性格不同的好朋友在亲密交谈。
Barbie带来了好几个神秘的大纸箱子。她首先表演了木琴打击乐曲。然后让孩子们摸索猜测藏在纸箱里的乐器。当谜底揭晓的时候,孩子们被各种奇形怪状的打击乐器深深吸引,纷纷伸手去尝试。
Melody, Oriana和Olivia一起把爱尔兰的大河之舞带给家长们和孩子们。当踢踏舞鞋在地板上敲击出激昂的节奏,小朋友们情绪高涨激动不已。紧接着女童军们带领孩子们来到室外的操场,教给他们简单的步法节奏之后,孩子们排成一条长龙,踏着节奏,跟着歌曲,穿过两座老师和志愿者搭起的拱桥。
