As the basic form of kindergarten activities, games provide a natural carrier for teacher-child interaction and an important pathway to build a democratic, equal, and harmonious teacher-child relationship. Based on this, this paper takes kindergarten game activities as the entry point, analyzes the existing problems in establishing teacher-child relationships in current game activities, explores the important value of game activities for constructing a good teacher-child relationship, and proposes strategies for establishing teacher-child relationships based on game activities. It aims to provide a reference for kindergarten educational practice and help young children grow up healthy and happy.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Lu D, Li A, 2023, Establishing a Good Teacher-Child Relationship in Independent Game Activities.
