Abstract

Based on the compatibility between embodied cognition theory and children's handicraft education, the work aims to transform traditional handicraft culture into innovative interactive experiences, and explore interactive educational games suitable for art education in primary and secondary schools. In line with the embodied cognition theory model, the hierarchy and path of embodied interaction design were constructed, the interaction between body behavior and environment in traditional handicraft culture was analyzed from the dimensions of body perception, behavior mapping, and meaning construction, and the mapping relationship between surface skill knowledge and deep cultural cognition was established. With the hierarchical framework of embodied interaction design as a guide, an interactive educational game was developed based on gesture recognition technology, transforming the craft knowledge, production procedures, and cultural connotations of the cloth tiger doll into participatory interactive experiences. In the field of art education in primary and secondary schools, following the theory of embodied cognition, the interactive educational games of traditional handicrafts can strengthen the innovative inheritance of traditional handicrafts, and enhance the cultural identity and confidence of primary and secondary school students through inheritance.
