Cultivation of Numerical Thinking in Early Childhood Education Using Folk Games in Rural China
I early childhood education in rural areas, including ethnic minority areas, children's folk games often play an important role in cultivating numerical thinking. The establishment of number sense is a concrete representation of the development of numerical thinking. Accordingly, this study evaluated the number sense of senior kindergarten and grade 1 students with and without the influence of playing folk games. The results showed that the groups of students exposed to the games were significantly superior to the non influenced groups in counting, calculation, arithmetic cognition and number transformation, among other areas. Therefore, under the premise of the unbalanced development of education in rural China, it is necessary to emphasize the development and expansion of children's folk games to reduce the delay in cultivating mathematical thinking.

Children's folk music in second age in kindergarten
In the thesis I researched the representation of children's folk music in kindergarten. In the theoretical part I discussed the traditional folk music and put emphasis on children's folk music, dances, counting rhymes, games and musical instruments. Besides that I also researched how often folk music appears in the curriculum for kindergartens, the technical literature and the didactic materials for preschool education. The empirical part contains quantitative and qualitative research. In the quantitative part of the research I analysed the results of the interview with preschool teachers about including children's folk tradition in kindergarten, which I gained with a survey questionnaire. In the qualitative part of the research, I was finding out how interested children are in activities that have to do with folk tradition through analysing diary notes, photographs, audio notes and children's statements. In the framework of the research I carried out more activities, through which children learned about children's folk music, dances, counting rhymes, games and musical instruments. I found out that children have an interest in learning folk tradition, that they receive it with joy and they quickly assimilate it. Preschool teachers also have an interest in including children's folk music in the kindergarten, but they have several problems with it. Among those are the most distinct ones, that they have too little prior knowledge, that in the curriculum for kindergartens is not enough emphasis on this area, that there are not enough seminars on this subject and that there is too little material with children's folk music available. As a consequence, the folk music tradition is rarely included in the kindergarten's planned activities, or it is only inferior quality. In the end, I interpreted the results of both researches based on the relevant references and technical literature.

Children's folk heritage through creative movement with the youngest kindergarten children
The thesis, entitled Children's folk heritage through creative movement with the youngest kindergarten children, consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical part presents national folk heritage (songs, dances and games) focusing on children's folk heritage in songs, dances and games. The content in question is adequate for children from the first age group. The thesis describes dance and movement development of the child, dance and movement folk games for children aged from 1 to 3 years, and their significance for the child. It also describes cultural heritage as provided for in the implemented kindergarten curriculum. The empirical part of the thesis first discusses the purpose, goals and research questions related to the introduction of folk games through creative movement in a group of the youngest kindergarten children. My goal was to determine which antique objects, customs, dances and songs children already know, which folk games they play with their parents, how children engage in folk games, dances and songs and how they respond to them. After month long planning and research on education in the first age group, I proposed a new way to integrate dance education and children's folk heritage into all areas of activity. The thesis also contains a description of the implementation of the activities and their assessment. The assessment of the educational tasks indicates that children from the first age group are more eager to embrace folk heritage through dance and movement activities. The process is smoother and children can further enhance the heritage at their own initiative during free play without being led. I opted for this topic because many undergraduate theses have already discussed dance folk heritage in older kindergarten groups, but not the youngest.
