Abstract
This study was a phenomenological approach to the substance and meaning of large-group discussion activities in the kindergarten. Results of this study showed phenomena of the management of large-group discussion to be : 1) interchange in the natural fields of knowledge, 2) the fields of shared laughter and humor, 3) the exchange of glances individually between a teacher and children as well as children to children, 4) a bridge to connect one activity to another, 5) the guarantee of freedom in the limited space while keeping order, 6) the making of a way to connect individual children's inner self with the world, 7) conflicts between standardized themes and generated themes.
