However, the following problems still exist in the teaching of preschool children&amp;rsquo;s social and cultural activities: first, the formulation of activity objectives needs to be optimized; second, the responsiveness to social and cultural content is insufficient; third, the activity process is inconsistent with the achievement of objectives; fourth, the application of activity materials lacks effectiveness. Strategies are proposed, including high-standard refinement and verification of the design of preschool children&amp;rsquo;s social and cultural activity objectives, multi-channel collection and application of content for preschool children&amp;rsquo;s social and cultural activities, interdisciplinary enrichment of the presupposition and implementation of the process of preschool children&amp;rsquo;s social and cultural activities, and extensive enhancement of the types and effectiveness of materials for preschool children&amp;rsquo;s social and cultural activities.</abstract><keywords>Preschool children’s social and cultural activities, Activity design, Preschool education</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>[1] Connolly P, Kelly B, Smith A, 2009, The Cultural and Political Awareness of 3&amp;ndash;6-Year-Olds in Northern Ireland.
