This study adheres to the characteristics and patterns of language development in young children, guided by the "Guidelines for the Learning and Development of Children Aged 3-6." It encourages preschool teachers to actively develop and utilize language games, gamify instructional content, and create an integrated "curriculum + game" teaching model. Through the construction of an Internet-oriented mindset, preschool teachers establish a game database, enrich game content, and improve strategies such as game question design. These efforts aim to strengthen children's listening and expression skills, as well as their reading and writing abilities. By steering away from the trend of overly formalizing education for young children, the study seeks to address the drawbacks brought about by the "Teaching too much too soon" trend. The focus is on creating a seamless transition from preschool to elementary school by enhancing the cultivation of key skills in young children, facilitated through the integration of curriculum and game-based teaching methods.
