崩さないように、、、
砂場で大きな山と、その周りに水の通り道を作ったら、上から水を流してみよう！
川のように水が流れ落ちる様子に「すごい！流れたー！」と目を輝かせて喜ぶ子どもたち。
しばらく続けると砂山が崩れてきたのを見て…
「新しい砂をのせよう」
「反対側にも道を作ったらすぐ崩れないんじゃない？」
「手で押さえてるから水はそっと入れて」
と砂山を崩さずに遊び続けるにはどうしたら良いのか、子どもたちなりに試行錯誤しながら
遊ぶ姿があります。
少しすると、「〇〇さーん、来て来て！ちょっと見ててね、水をここから流して…
ほら、川みたいに流れたでしょ！」
とお友だちと協力して作ったものを嬉しそうに伝えてくれ、満足そうな表情の子どもたちでした。
土と水と道具と… 遊びは無限大。明日はどんな発見、やりとりがあるのかな♪
After creating a large mountain in the sandbox and a path for water around it, let the water flow down from above!
When they see the water flowing down like a river, they say, "Wow, it flowed! It's flowing! and their eyes shining with joy at the sight of water flowing down like a river.
After a while, the pile of sand started to collapse...
Let's put new sand on top.
"If we make a path on the other side, won't it collapse right away?"
"I'm holding it down with my hand, so you have to pour the water in gently.
The children are playing while trying to figure out what they should do to keep the pile of sand from collapsing.
They are playing in their own way, trying to figure out the best way to keep playing without breaking the pile of sand.
After a while, they would say, "00-san, come here! Watch me, let the water flow from here....
See, it flows like a river!
The children looked happy and satisfied as they happily shared what they had made in cooperation with their friends.
Soil, water, tools... the possibilities for play are endless. I wonder what kind of discoveries and interactions they will have tomorrow.
