The Effective Way of Integrating Traditional Culture Into Outdoor Game Teaching in Preschool Education

Abstract

This study investigates the deep integration of traditional culture into outdoor play-based teaching in preschool education, addressing the prevalent lack of cultural depth in current outdoor activities. A three-phase framework—cultural decoding, contextual reconfiguration, and experiential generation—is proposed to systematically bridge this gap. By developing a multidimensional assessment model to identify age-appropriate cultural elements, the research innovatively designs immersive play scenarios and tiered experiential activities. Coupled with transformative teacher guidance strategies, this approach effectively translates traditional cultural symbols into tangible learning experiences for children. Empirical validation demonstrates significant improvements in preschoolers’ cultural awareness, collaborative skills, and family-school cultural engagement. The fi ndings off er a replicable paradigm to address cultural transmission challenges in early education, fostering the dynamic inheritance of cultural DNA throughout childhood development.
