Chinese Yo-Yo (Diabolo) Program 

        扯鈴是我國古代民間童玩，逢年過節，迎神賽會，大街小巷，到處均可聽到這種玩抖起來所發出嗡！嗡！聲響。其玩法有金雞上架、螞蟻上樹、平沙落雁、金蟬脫殼、大鵬展翅、直上青雲、金雞飛渡、仰觀星斗、金龍繞玉柱、離心運轉、二仙傳道、千變萬化，十分逗趣。本校從民國七十四年推展扯鈴活動代表隊歷年來參加各項表演，觀摩，頗獲各界好評。擔任指導教練陳世宙、莊招治、蔡雨明三位老師，數年來如一日，辛勤指導，無怨無悔,才能使民俗才藝永續傳承，貢獻最大。另值一提是旅台校友翁文獻先生，每年提供，「至德」獎學金新台幣二萬元、運動服裝五十套，獎勵扯鈴表現優異學生，出錢出力，鼓舞士氣，令人敬佩。

The Chinese yo-yo, or diabolo, is a traditional folk toy in ancient Chinese culture. During festivals, temple fairs, and celebratory events, the buzzing sound of spinning diabolos could be heard throughout the streets and alleys. Classic diabolo tricks include “Golden Rooster on the Stand,” “Ant Climbing a Tree,” “Wild Goose Landing on the Sand,” “Cicada Shedding Its Shell,” “Roc Spreading Its Wings,” “Soaring into the Sky,” “Golden Rooster Flying Across the River,” “Stargazing,” “Golden Dragon Wrapping the Jade Pillar,” “Centrifugal Spinning,” “Two Immortals Spreading the Way,” and many more creative and entertaining variations.

Since Minguo Year 74 (1985), our school has actively promoted a Chinese Yo-Yo Performance Team, which has participated in various performances and exhibitions over the years and has received high praise from all sectors. The team has been coached with unwavering dedication by Mr. Chen Shih-Chou, Mr. Chuang Chao-Chih, and Mr. Tsai Yu-Ming, whose tireless efforts have made great contributions to the preservation and promotion of this cultural folk art.

It is also worth mentioning that Mr. Weng Wen-Hsien, an alumnus residing in Taiwan, generously donates NT$20,000 annually as the "Zhide" Scholarship, along with 50 sets of sportswear, to reward outstanding students in the diabolo program. His support and encouragement are deeply appreciated and serve as a great source of motivation for the team.

Table Tennis 

金鼎國小一向重視體育活動，無論田徑或球類，均有良好的表現，其中尤以重點項目----桌球，表現最為出色，歷任校長的支持，教練李珠江老師調教下，屢創佳績，其中參加金門地區中小學桌球錦標賽曾數度榮獲男、女團體冠軍、單打冠、亞、季、殿軍和優勝、雙打冠、亞、季、殿軍名次。

Jinding Elementary School has always placed great emphasis on physical education. Whether in track and field or ball sports, students have consistently delivered strong performances. Among all athletic activities, table tennis stands out as the school’s most distinguished sport.

Thanks to the steadfast support of successive principals and the dedicated coaching of Mr. Li Chu-Chiang, the school’s table tennis team has achieved outstanding results. In the Kinmen Inter-School Table Tennis Championships, our students have repeatedly won championships in both boys’ and girls’ team events, as well as top placements in singles—including champion, runner-up, third place, fourth place, and merit awards—as well as in doubles events.

Badminton

除了桌球以外，本校體育活動的另一重點項目----羽球，表現也是很優異，在教練及老師的指導下，近幾年參加金門地區中小學羽球錦標賽，都獲得不錯的成績。

In addition to table tennis, badminton is another key focus of sports activities at Jinding Elementary School. Under the guidance of dedicated coaches and teachers, the school’s badminton team has also demonstrated excellent performance. In recent years, students have achieved impressive results in the Kinmen Inter-School Badminton Championships. 

Traditional Gong and Drum Ensemble

鑼鼓陣原為我國民俗才藝器樂之一種，也為地區民間早年之傳統休閒活動之一，近年來有日漸沒落之趨勢，本校為保存傳統才藝，於民國八十一年向教育部申請專款補助，並聘請本地老藝師----陳為仕先生教導，全力推展，深獲學生喜愛及家長的支持，且屢次參加社區之慶典活動，都普獲好評。主要表演內容有：戲台擺陣、鬧台----四擊頭、慢戰、隔鑼、弄加冠等。基本樂器有：小鼓、通鼓、鑼、大鈸、小鈸、小鑼、木魚（倒板）。

The Gong and Drum Ensemble is a form of traditional Chinese folk instrumental art and was once a popular recreational activity in local communities. In recent years, however, it has shown signs of decline. To preserve this valuable cultural heritage, Jinding Elementary School applied for a special grant from the Ministry of Education in Minguo Year 81 (1992). The school invited local master artist Mr. Chen Wei-Shih to lead and instruct students in this traditional art form.

Thanks to these efforts, the ensemble has been actively promoted on campus and has gained strong support from both students and parents. The group has frequently participated in community festivals and celebrations, receiving widespread acclaim.

The main performance routines include: Stage Formation, Noisy Stage Acts such as Four-Head Beats, Slow Battle, Cross-Gong, Crown Ceremony Performance, and others.

The basic instruments used include: Small Drum, Barrel Drum, Gong, Large Cymbals, Small Cymbals, Small Gong, and Wooden Fish (Clapper Board).
