As a child, the holidays are not perceived as more adult. For a child a holiday - it's not a banal feast, and a piece of this fairy tale. And help to create a fairy tale scenario, children's holidays, which are often published in magazines or on Internet sites. It is necessary to take the time to prepare such a triumph to bring joy to kids.

Selecting script

All scenarios of children's holiday devoted to one or another festive occasion: New Year, Women's Day, the Day of Defender of the Fatherland, carnival, harvest festival, the Day of Knowledge. In the selection of children's holiday script must consider not only the event, which is dedicated to this holiday, and many other factors. So, you should pay attention to what age group is one or the other scenario. Three-year plan is unlikely to be interesting celebration featuring Spider-Man, and junior high school students can get bored on the presentation on the fairy tale of the turnip. If children themselves are involved in the representation, the complexity of the script and selected in accordance with the capabilities and preferences of a particular age group.

Also, depending on the age of children and duration of the holiday. Kids will be difficult to sit at the long view, and older kids will be disappointed too short holiday. On average, children two years of celebration should last about thirty or forty minutes, the duration of the festival for three years old can be about an hour, the older children will enjoy a half-a two-hour presentation. The younger the children are, the smaller actors should be on stage.

When you select a script, you must consider what you will need props. Some scripts require special sets and costumes, and for some holidays will be enough standard curtain. Before selecting a script, you must calculate in advance that you will need to arrange a holiday: may require a holiday too costly.

The main requirement for the scenario - that the children had fun. And do not forget about the educational value of such scenarios. Scripts of holidays should not contradict the concepts of good and evil. Of course, it is not necessary to read the notation from the stage about how children should behave correctly, but in a playful way to convey to the kids some moral and ethical standards would be appropriate. The evil characters at the festival should be scary (at first), and miserable (at the end), but not attractive and inspires respect. And, of course, good to have to defeat the evil.

Many scenarios seem eternal, others rapidly become obsolete. Choosing a script, you should find out whether it will be understandable and close to the modern children. And if kids are the first in their life New Year's performances are delighted when lit Christmas tree in response to their call for "One-two-three, Herringbone, burn! "The older children such a scenario could have a slightly podnadoest.

Where is the place of children: in a hall or on stage?

Children can be just spectators, and can participate in the presentation. For unmanaged kids more suitable first option, older kids may want to do on stage. There are also interactive scenarios that imply the involvement of children from the audience to the action on stage.

For holidays in kindergartens usually invite parents, so that they can enjoy on their children. In this case, the parents, too, can somehow engage in celebration: competitions involving mothers and fathers and even grandparents, always give pleasure to all participants. Moreover, competition can be even very simple: for example, children are hiding behind the curtain and say something, but parents need to know their child's voice. And in some competitions for agility parents can participate on an equal basis with their offspring on the same team with them.

If the children in the role of spectators, after the presentation is better to give them an opportunity to somehow participate in the festival. For example, children can drive round dances with artists or play some outdoor games. Appropriate in this case there will be various competitions for children - not too difficult, but requires some dexterity. Select contests should be so that every child can succeed even in something. So, contests of skill can be supplemented Agility competitions, erudition, attention, speed of reaction.

As a reward to those who win the contests, prizes should be issued. These awards do not have to be expensive, but they should be fairly ornate and solemn. Well, if such awards will somehow correlate with the theme of the celebration. For example, the New Year can be a reward miniature Christmas trees, snowmen and snowflakes, and on March 8 - flowers.

"Finalization" of the finished script

Many teachers admit that with all the richness of choice scenarios of children's holiday, ready-made programs still have to refine. And it is not because of a bad script ready and boring. Just kids always like a holiday if the script somehow reflects the realities of their lives.

Individual approach refers to the eternal values, and children will be very pleased if it turns out that, for example, Santa Claus knows every child by name and have some idea about his achievements. Of course, to find artists willing to remember the names of all the children is not easy, but you can find ways to make the holiday special. Many kindergarten teachers compose their own scenario of holidays, gently mentioning in such scenarios, the real stories of the lives of children. Needless to say that such holidays are remembered for a long time: it is likely that the child will be in a year to remember with delight the unusual ceremony, where everything was like in a real fairy tale.
