New Year for the little ones
In this article I shared with you ideas, games and useful tips for home New Year's celebrations for the youngest children:
- children under one year old,
- children from one to three years old.
Section one. New Year for the little ones: the first year of life
If your baby is almost a year old, then the first Christmas tree in his life is waiting for him.
Does a child need a Christmas tree?
Undoubtedly it is needed. This is both a new experience and vivid impressions, and the joyful mood of the mother (and the children “read” the mother’s emotions on the fly). The only question is how to introduce the baby to the Christmas tree and ensure his safety.
First. In a family with a first-year baby, the Christmas tree should be placed not on the floor but on the table, high up - so that the baby crawling or taking his first steps cannot touch it, pull it towards himself, reach the branch and, clinging to it, pull the tree down.
Therefore, the baby will look at the toys on the Christmas tree and the Christmas tree itself while sitting in his mother’s arms.
Second. You definitely need to introduce your baby to the Christmas tree. What's the best way to do this?
How to decorate a Christmas tree for a child of the first year of life and introduce the baby to it?
Each game or conversation with a child about the Christmas tree takes no more than 3-5 minutes, as long as the child’s interest remains.
First step. Show your child the undecorated Christmas tree – just as it is. (If you can look at a natural Christmas tree on a walk, then look at it with your baby). When examining, talk to the baby, using those babbling syllables and little words that the baby can already repeat after you: “Ah! It smells! Ahah! Let's smell the Christmas tree! (we hold a twig in our hand and let the child smell it, bringing our hand closer to him). Oh, how it smells!”, “Oh, prickly needles, oh, oh (prick your finger and lightly the child’s finger - oh, prickly - we say jokingly). Ay, what a beautiful tree - ah!”
Read a poem about a Christmas tree to your child:
“Dad chose a Christmas tree
The fluffiest one
The fluffiest one
The most fragrant.
The Christmas tree smells like that -
Mom will gasp immediately!” Oh! What a beautiful Christmas tree. Oh! (A. Usachev).
Second step. Play with the not yet decorated Christmas tree and toys familiar to the child, for example, we will need such toys as a bird and a bunny. We will introduce the baby to the names of these toys, their actions, and encourage him to repeat simple babbling words.
Show how the toy bunny runs to the Christmas tree: stomp, stomp, stomp, how he jumps - jump - jump - jump - jump! Bang! The bunny fell. Get up! Jump-jump, the bunny jumps again. A bunny galloped under our Christmas tree, sat and wiggled his ears:
"The little white bunny is sitting
And he wiggles his ears.
That's how, that's how
And he wiggles his ears.”
Give the bunny into the hands of the baby, let him stroke the toy, feed the bunny, show how the bunny jumps, where the bunny’s ears are. “Where is the bunny?” (hide the toy) - “No bunny!” (surprised). We look for the bunny with the child and find: “Here is the bunny (we take out the toy).”
Put the bunny in a box so that the baby does not see this toy and is not distracted by it. And show me the toy bird.
Place the bird on a spruce branch:
"A bird has flown in -
The bird is small.
Sit down, don't fly away!
Flew away. Ay!”
“Where is the bird? (Put an opaque bright scarf over the bird). Here's a bird! (open the handkerchief).
On another day, other toy animals may “run” to the tree.
Third step. Introduce your child to Christmas tree toys and their names. (Even if you decorated the Christmas tree without the baby’s presence, you can do it now).
Let your baby touch Christmas tree toys that are safe for him: textile balls, wooden toys. Name what kind of toy it is, what it is called (“This is the yoke-go-go horse. The horse gallops and shouts: igo-go-go-go!”). Show how the horse gallops, let the child play with this toy.
Helpful advice: Nowadays they produce very beautiful and child-safe wooden Christmas tree toys, which can be bought at New Year's fairs from masters of folk arts and crafts. These are Santa Claus, Christmas tree, firecracker, candy, bear, matryoshka, grandmother, grandfather, bright ball, icicle and many others. It’s easy to make toys from fabric and felt yourself or use ready-made ones by sewing a loop on them for hanging on the Christmas tree. Use them for the youngest children.
First introduce 2-3 child-safe Christmas tree toys and their names.. Where is the bear? Here's a bear. What a beautiful. The bear walks slowly: toooop-toooop-toooop-toooop. And who is this? Bunny. When the baby remembers them, introduce him to other toys.
Teach your child to find a toy by first calling its “adult” name, and then a simplified child’s name: Where is our bear? Where's the bunny? Where is the Lala doll? Where is the dog aw-aw? Where is the yoke horse? Where is the B.B. machine?
When you decorate the Christmas tree, ask your child to show you the toy: “Where is our tick-tock clock? Here's the tick-tock clock. Let's hang them on the Christmas tree. Like this! Oh, what a beautiful watch!”
When decorating the Christmas tree, read the poem to your child:
“Mom is decorating the Christmas tree,
Anya (child's name) helps her mother,
She gives toys
Stars, balls, firecrackers.
We will invite guests
Let’s dance and sing together.”
Turn on fun dance music and let your baby dance to it with you.
Fourth step.
If your baby knows the names of the toys on the tree well and easily finds the toys on it, you can change their places on the tree - rehang them. Will the baby find the clock in a new place on the tree?
Also add new toys to the tree. Especially good bells or bells. Let your baby ring the bell and hang it on the tree. If your baby wants to ring a bell already attached to a tree branch, don’t deny him this. Bring the bell directly on the branch to the baby’s hand and gently ring it together using the “child’s hand in the adult’s hand” technique.
Helpful tip: You can buy bells at a hobby store, and small bells that are beautiful and easy for a child's hand to buy at fishing stores. Tie beautiful bows to the bell and bell and sew a loop to hang them on the Christmas tree.
Introduce your child to the lights of the garland on the Christmas tree. This sight always fascinates a child. Lights! So beautiful! Give your child a few minutes just to look at this amazing sight for him: the lights are burning!
"Christmas tree, Christmas tree, Christmas tree -
Green needle!
Light up with different lights -
Green and red!
What beautiful lights! They're burning! No lights. Where are the lights? (the lights went out on the blinking garland) Here are the lights!
How to decorate an apartment for the New Year if there is a baby in the house who is not yet a year old?
Decorate your apartment for the arrival of guests with decorations that your baby can play with. This is especially true for children 8-12 months old.
Playing with colorful flags
How to make a garland with flags for a child of the first year of life. Cut from bright colored cardboard different colors rhombuses, fold them in half so that you get triangles - flags. Place your “triangular flag” on the rope and glue it at the bottom so that the flag is held on the rope, does not open, and at the same time it can be moved along the rope. Make such a multi-colored garland. The baby will be able to look at the flags and move them with his handle along the rope to the right - to the left when you take him in your arms and bring him to your homemade garland.
You can remove two flags from the garland, give one to the child, and take one into the mother’s hands. And dance a dance with a flag to the song: the baby “dances” in his mother’s arms: he waves the flag, the mother spins with the baby in her arms.
We will take the flag in our hands
And we'll go in circles.
Ay-yes, ay-yes
And we'll go in circles.
Let's show our flag to our friends
Let's lift up and wave
(show how to do this, take the baby’s hand with your hand and wave the flag, then release your hand, the baby waves himself).
Ay-yes, ay-yes
Let's lift it up and wave it.
Look at your flag
Spin around with him, buddy.
Ay-yes, ay-yes!
Spin with him, my friend (the mother is slowly spinning, the baby is in her arms)
Repeat this dance in different days– the baby will begin to recognize its melody and will begin to imitate your movements with pleasure.
Playing with bells or New Year's bells
A child will also be interested in decorations in the form of metal bells with bows, hung on strings like garlands or simply in groups in different places in the room. The baby will be happy to pull the string and ring the bell.
Take the bell in your hands and sing a song about it:
“Ding-dong - ding - dong!
The bell is ringing!
Ding-dong - ding - dong!
The bell is thin!
Ding-dong - ding - dong!
He plays happily.
Ding-dong - ding - dong!
Masha (child’s name) is amused!”
Playing with rattles
Rattles can also be included in a New Year's garland and hung in groups using bright ribbons. You can make a whole bunch of rattles for your child, securing them with a festive bright satin ribbon. While playing with a rattle, you can sing to your baby a version of the dance with rattles adapted for little ones:
Oh what fun today
Kids having fun
Anya (child's name) was given rattles
Rattles are good!
Chorus:
Hey yeah, call me
Sounding toy
Hey yeah, call me
Our rattle
Where, where is the rattle?
The kids hid them
Show me the rattles
Rattles are good.
Chorus:
Hey yeah, call me
Sounding toy
Hey yeah, call me
Our rattle.
Take the rattles and “hide” them by covering them with a scarf so that one part of them is visible. Where are the rattles? The child needs to pull off the handkerchief and find the rattles, after which he plays with them himself.
Another garland for the youngest children. You can tie rattles and bells into one large garland. Make a box with two side holes measuring approximately 15 X 15 cm. Thread a ribbon with toys through the holes and tie it into a single ring. You will get a kind of “carousel” in a box. The baby will pull the ribbon and take out the next toy from the box.
Playing with painted wooden spoons
Spoons can also decorate a room for the New Year. First show your baby how to bang a spoon on the floor or table. Later, teach him to knock the spoons together.
Knock-knock, spoons!
Sounding palms!
Knock-knock, knock-knock!
You can hear the sound of ringing spoons!
Playing with bunnies
You can sew small felt white finger caps for your child. Sew two long ears to the base of the cap and draw a bunny's face with a marker. The result was “finger puppets - bunnies”.
Show your child a mini-play with bunnies:
Fingers - fingers,
Little bunnies,
The bunnies danced (we move our fingers),
The bunnies played (we continue to move our fingers).
And... (pause), They ran away!
After the show, put the caps on your baby's fingers - let him move his fingers and play with bunnies.
How can a child participate in a home New Year's party?
Useful advice 1. If you are visiting for a New Year's holiday with your baby of the first year of life, then find out in advance whether you will have the opportunity to retire from time to time with your child in a separate quiet room?
The fact is that the baby, and even after the trip, will get tired of constantly being in a noisy group of people that is new to him. Therefore, after 20-30 minutes of the baby’s stay in the common room with guests, it is better to go with the child to a separate room. In addition, in a separate room the child will have the opportunity to sleep if he is tired.
If there are no such conditions, then it is better not to risk visiting for the New Year with such a small child. Because The baby may become capricious, and you will not enjoy the holiday. And he too.
You should not go to visit directly New Year's Eve, it is better to go with your child to a day party with friends with children or relatives.
Helpful tip 2. Put on your and your child's "weekend clothes" - she creates the mood! And your holiday mood is very important for your baby too! And also gives you strength!
Helpful tip 3. Naturally, strangers will meet the baby at the holiday. There is no need to be afraid of this, but there is no need to pass the child from hand to hand. strangers, he may get scared. But new contacts will be useful for a child who will soon be one year old. That's why let new people play with the baby while he is sitting in his mother's arms - they will tell him a nursery rhyme, praise him, show him “okay” or dance actions. The baby is safe, he is smiling, everything is fine!
Helpful tip 4. Ask hosts and guests to keep the baby in the common room while there were no sharp loud sounds (the clapping of a firecracker, for example), which could frighten him greatly, so that the music did not sound loud. A baby in the first year of life cannot endure great emotional overload; in case of overload, he begins to be capricious, cry and express this unpleasant state of his voice in every possible way. If other guests need to clap firecrackers, then leave the common room to your quiet place outside at this time. And then come back.
Helpful tip 5. With your baby on holiday, you will need to study, communicate, and play. He will not be able to just sit or lie passively during the holiday. Think about what toys you will take with you so that your baby can play with them when visiting. Teach your guests your baby's favorite nursery rhymes(magpie - crow, okay, ay-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta and others). Let the guests play with the baby and amuse him with nursery rhymes.
Helpful tip 6. If you receive guests at your home, then most likely there will be no problems with a separate lounge room. But another question will arise - if you need to retire with your child to a separate room for a while to relax, who will be able to play the role of host or hostess with guests at this time? It’s good if one of your friends or relatives can take on this role so that you don’t have to leave your baby alone in another room in case of emergency.
Section 2. New Year for the little ones: children of the second and third year of life
For children aged one and a half years and older, it is already possible to arrange a small children's home party. Invite 3-4 more children of the same age or a little older. It is important that the children's party is either at your home or near your home, because... During the journey, the baby will get tired and will no longer be able to actively take part in it.
Recommendation 1. Duration of the holiday. To prevent children from getting tired, the active part of the holiday for such young children should be no more than 30 minutes, and the entire stay of the guests should be about an hour. These additional 30 minutes include changing the children’s clothes and juice and treats after the party, but does not include preparing the room for the children’s arrival - the room for the party is prepared in advance, even before the children arrive .
Recommendation 2. Participants of the holiday. Invite children and adults already familiar to the child to the holiday. If there is someone new for the child, then it is better to introduce the child to these people before the holiday - let them come to visit you even before the holiday on a separate day. The fact is that young children always support each other in everything, especially when crying! Therefore, if one baby gets scared of someone unfamiliar and cries, then a friendly roar will be guaranteed. To avoid such moments, you need to make sure in advance that all guests know each other well.
Recommendation 3. One important point. The holiday will bring joy to children of this age and adults only in one case - if the children are not spectators of a performance carefully prepared by an adult, but its active participants! They will answer questions, call characters, play, and dance. Moreover, for an early age it is very important that all children simultaneously do the same action: for example, everyone throws cotton snowballs at the fox, driving it away. Or everyone portrayed a bunny sitting under the tree - together and at the same time.
Adults should also not be passive spectators: if we conduct a round dance, then both children and adults dance in it. Adults also participate in games, showing examples of actions to their children.
A) or give everyone exactly the same ones, so that something like this doesn’t happen: two kids grab onto one toy and don’t give it up to each other (children at this age still don’t know how to give in and restrain themselves),
B) either have a large supply. And if one of the kids suddenly grabbed a bell with a yellow ribbon, and the second one immediately grabbed it, then give the second one another bell of the same kind so that everyone is happy and satisfied :).
Be sure to give children beautiful props for dancing - snowflakes or ribbons, lanterns or rattles that are the same for everyone, since bright holiday props help the child feel the atmosphere of the holiday and are very attractive and interesting for little ones.
If you are visiting a family New Year's party with a child 1-2 years old, and it is customary for the host family to bring individual gifts for the New Year, then under no circumstances ask the child 1-2 years old to give the gift to other children. There will be tears and bad mood. Just wrap the gift and give it yourself - and again, not into the hands of the child, but into the hands of his mother!
Recommendation 6. About Santa Claus. It is advisable not to invite Santa Claus to a home Christmas tree for children under 2 years of age; children may be scared of him. For many of them, Santa Claus is an unknown uncle in strange clothes, and is by no means a fairy-tale hero with gifts. Let Santa Claus be painted on their gifts that they find under the tree. And they will see the “living Santa Claus” a little later, when they grow up.
What you can do for children 1-2 years old at a home New Year party:
- dancing (both adults and children dance to any cheerful music with the simplest movements: clapping, doing half squats - springs, showing flashlights, spinning, stamping our feet),
- round dance around the Christmas tree (to any song about the Christmas tree),
— watching a puppet theater(more on this below)
— game with lights on the Christmas tree: when we blow, the lights on the tree go out (you need to agree with someone in advance to ensure this). When we clap our hands, the lights come back on! Children's delight! But if we don’t do it together (for example, Vanya didn’t clap), then it doesn’t work, we have to repeat it!
— playing music on children's musical instruments. Give the kids identical bells and rattles and let them sound them to cheerful music, and let the toy bunny dance to their accompaniment!
- an active game.
How to decorate a Christmas tree if the family has children 1-2 years old
At this age, the child can already put the Christmas tree on the floor, but make sure that it is stable and cannot fall. To the bottom tier of the tree(at a height accessible to the child) unbreakable toys are hung - made of paper, cardboard, cotton wool, fabric, wood. To the topmost tiers of the tree We hang up breakable toys. We also hang tinsel on the upper tiers of the tree so that the child cannot pull it and accidentally drop the tree on the floor.
A one-and-a-half to two-year-old child can already be taught how to decorate the Christmas tree himself - hang several toys on it. This is very useful for developing fine motor skills and sensorimotor coordination. Make a thick loop of cord for unbreakable toys and teach your child to hang the toy on a branch and remove it. Don’t expect your child to decorate the entire Christmas tree; he will only hang 2-3 toys, or maybe only one. Leave the rest for next time. This is a difficult task for a child, and you should not overload him by forcing him to hang several toys at once.
Happy New Year to relatives with a 1-2 year old child
Nowadays it is more common for all adults to be focused on the child. In traditional folk pedagogy for thousands of years early childhood taught the child to take care of loved ones. It is then that he will absorb the ability to be merciful, sympathetic, and help adults.
On the other hand, how much can such a baby do? Alone - no, but together with my mother - a lot.
When we make holiday crafts with a 1-2 year old child - gifts for grandparents and other relatives - there are two extremes.
First: the mother does everything for the child. It turns out beautifully, but whose craft is this?
Second: the child does everything himself. But... it turns out ugly and it is obvious that this gift is not a guarantee that you will like it. Perhaps he will be accepted, but simply for granted.
How can you make sure that the gift is beautiful and that the child actively participates in its making? The way out is the joint creativity of an adult and a child.
Examples of joint creativity in making New Year's gifts with a child 1-2 years old:
- in a New Year's card, an adult draws a background: sky, houses, snow on the ground. And the child “poke” only draws snow swirling in the air (we take a pencil and draw dots with the reverse “non-drawing” end of the pencil, immersing the pencil in white gouache),
- child in the background winter forest made by an adult, he can finish drawing the tracks of animals by dabbing: jump-jump-jump, a bunny galloped here,
- a child can, together with an adult, make candies and apples for a Christmas tree from salt dough,
- you can instruct the child to smear the plasticine over the background, and then against this background the adult can lay out a picture of small parts of the plasticine.
There are many possibilities and options! And there is a distribution of work - what an adult does, and what- child. Moreover, the adult does not interfere with the “children’s” part. If we need to show something to the baby, then we show it on our own separate sheet of paper, and not on a common postcard.
Looking at New Year's pictures
With children 1-2 years old, you can already look at New Year’s pictures in books and on postcards. Where is the Christmas tree, where is the star, where is the flashlight, the ball, Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden in the picture? Where is the star on our Christmas tree?
Round dances for children 1-2 years old
Children 1-2 years old really need round dances. It is in a round dance that the child gets his first experience of interacting with peers. In the first round dances, all the kids do the same actions.
For example, the traditional New Year's round dance "Zainka" for the little ones.
Bunny, come out,
Gray, come out!
That's it, come out that way!
That's it, come out that way!Bunny, take a walk,
Gray, take a walk!
Like this, like this, take a walk,
Like this, like this, take a walk.
Bunny, jump.
Gray, jump.
That's it, that's it, jump.
That's it, that's it, jump.
Bunny, stamp your foot,
Gray, stomp your foot.
Like this, like this, stamp your foot.
Bunny, dance,
Gray, dance,
Like this, like this, dance!
Like this, like this, dance!
Bunny, bow down,
Gray, bow.
That's it, that's it, bow down.
Like this, bow like this.
All children in the round dance and adults make movements according to the text. On New Year's holiday the toy bunny can ask the kids to dance with him. Then we will take the bunny into our hands, put him in a round dance (the bunny will dance between two mothers) and dance with him.
If children know this round dance well and easily perform its movements, then you can complicate the task. Then one bunny is selected from the children, he depicts all the actions in the center of the round dance, and all the players repeat everything after him. At the end another verse is added:
Bunny, choose!
Gray, choose!
That's it, that's it, choose!
That's it, that's it, choose!
For a child, being in the center of a round dance is a very important experience! After all, he needs to behave freely when everyone is looking at him and attention is focused on him. Not every child will immediately go to the center of the round dance. If the baby is not ready, let him just watch the round dance for now or just walk in it with you. When he gradually gets used to it, he will come to the center of the circle (this could be in a week or two).
New Year for the little ones: how to show a puppet theater to children 1-2 years old
There is absolutely no need to buy special toys for a puppet show. Your regular toys for your child’s games will also work.
Tip 1. Before the performance starts, give the kids toys - characters. Let him examine them, work with them. Let them become new acquaintances to the child. Otherwise, during the performance, the baby will reach for new toys and demand to pick them up.
Tip 2. Instead of a screen you can use:
- a large box,
- a suitcase, decorating its bottom as a “scene with scenery”, and the top cover as “sky”,
- regular table
- cloth stretched between two chairs,
- fabric stretched in the doorway.
Decorations can be made using clothespins: stick a figurine on a clothespin, and attach the clothespin to a fabric screen.
Tip 3. How to move the puppets during the performance:
- when the toy speaks, it moves (for example, it bends and sways towards the character to whom it speaks). When a character is silent, he should be motionless.
- when the toy enters the stage, it moves either from the back of the stage to the children (if it is a box), or from right to left or from left to right (if the stage is an ordinary table),
— if the toy needs to move something along the plot of the play or pick it up, then you hold the doll with one hand and do the necessary actions with the other hand,
- if you show a performance with the help of bibabo dolls (hand-held dolls), then you can express different gestures with the help of the toy’s hands. For example, arms to the sides are surprise, the doll is happy – this is jumping, the doll brings its hands to its cheeks “oh!”
- if you have used a toy and you no longer need it during the performance, then put it in an opaque box so that it does not distract the children’s attention.
Tip 4. At the end of the performance, first let all the heroes - dolls bow to the audience, and all the spectators clap for the artists and heroes - dolls. Mothers - spectators show their children a model of actions and guide them.
New Year's round dances for young children
Below you will find options for round dances for home children's party. In order for children to be able to play it, they must first sing a round dance at home before the holiday and make movements according to the text. Only then will the child be able to act together with his peers at the holiday with pleasure and quickly, and will be glad that he heard a familiar melody and familiar words. Young children love repetition and everything that is recognizable and predictable. And they may not immediately get used to the dance that is new to them.
It is enough to learn one dance or one round dance with movements according to the text. And the baby can do a regular round dance around the Christmas tree with other mothers and children without preparation.
Snowball dance
To dance you need snowballs sewn from cotton wool. Take a ball of cotton wool and white threads with a needle. And we sew the cotton wool together so that it becomes a dense white lump - a snowball. You can also make snowballs with your child from white paper, crumpling it into lumps - balls. All movements are performed by children to music in accordance with the text.
We took the snowballs in our hands and ran along the path.
The kids ran, they were all dressed up! (2 rubles)
We pick up the snowball and swing it over our heads.
Swing over me, my mischievous little snowball. (2 rubles)
Let's have a snowball dance, little snowy friend.
Dance, don’t yawn and repeat after us. (2 rubles)
Let's stomp our feet and take a snowball in our palm
We will bring it to the Snow Maiden and return it to her basket. (2 rubles)
Bunnies
Our kids had fun
And they spun and danced,
It was like bunnies were jumping around.
Jump-jump, jump-jump,
The shoe broke.
All the guys sat on the floor,
They looked at the shoes.
To mend the shoes,
We need to nail the nails.
Knock-knock-knock-knock
We need to nail the nails.
Oh, our legs are tired,
We'll clap our hands
Clap-clap-clap-clap
We will clap our hands.
We knocked on our hands,
Our little hands are tired,
I'll put them down and shake them,
Bye-bye-bye-bye.
We rested a little
Our feet are dancing again
La la la la.
Beads glitter on the Christmas tree
Beads glitter on the Christmas tree,
Firecrackers and star.
We love our Christmas tree.
Yes Yes Yes! (the words of the verse are sung by an adult and older children, and the kids finish the last line of the song in chorus: yes-yes-yes).
And Santa Claus is cheerful -
Gray beard -
Brings us gifts.
Yes Yes Yes!
Snow Maiden in a white fur coat
He always comes to us.
We sing and dance with her.
Yes Yes Yes! (N. Naydenova)
Dance with handkerchiefs
Who has a handkerchief in his hands,
He will come to my circle.
He will show you his handkerchief,
He waves cheerfully.Chorus: That's it, that's it,
We'll take the corners
Our bright scarves.
And let's lift it higher, higher,
Taller than our kids!Chorus: That's it, that's it,
This is my handkerchief! (2 times).Let's all sit quietly in a circle,
Let's hide behind our scarf.
And then, and then -
We will find all the kids!Chorus: That's it, that's it,
This is my handkerchief! (2 times).How similar they are to flowers,
Our bright scarves.
And our boys too
They all look like flowers!Chorus: That's it, that's it,
This is my handkerchief! (2 times).

The script for a fairy tale for children for the New Year 2015 should be drawn up taking into account their age and understanding of the situation. If you plan to involve the little spectators themselves in the fairy-tale performance, and even more so, if you plan to give them some roles, then the heroes should be selected simple and understandable. This will make it much easier for your child to learn new role and ensures that he understands his task correctly.
Fairy tale scenario for New Year 2015
When drawing up a plan for a fairy-tale performance, it is best to take classical or easily recognizable modern interpretations of children's works as a basis. For example, an excellent option would be to develop a New Year's scenario based on the popular animated series Masha and the Bear. In it, by the way, a separate episode is dedicated specifically to the winter holidays, and she main character acts as the Snow Maiden. However, this option is more suitable for a small children's party, since the number of cartoon characters is quite limited.
If you plan to hold a matinee in a kindergarten, then Russians are better suited here folk tales from the "winter cycle". In this case, the main and most difficult roles (Father Frost, Snow Maiden, Mashenka, Baba Yaga, etc.) are performed by artists or educators, and children will only have to memorize small lines. Please note that if your scenario for a children's party assumes that children will have to perform any roles, then their parents should be warned about this in advance so that they prepare costumes and help with the study of poems and lines.
How to develop a New Year's scenario for children
When developing an event, it is very important to correctly distribute the time allocated to its individual stages. Planning time for theatrical performances, competitions, poetry and dances allows you to solve two problems at once: not to let children get bored and to determine in advance the total duration of the event. If you make up detailed plan progress of the celebration, you can remove or add extra parts of the holiday in advance to meet the deadline. The general outline of the Children's New Year scenario looks something like this:
- Greetings
- Getting to know the main characters - implemented in the form of one or two small scenes
- Communication with children can take place in any playful form (riddles, short dance competition and so on.)
- Second theatrical skit (possibly with the participation of children)
- Children are asked to help light the Christmas tree/call Grandfather Frost/Snow Maiden/New Year
- Third scene (possibly with children)
- Active competitions and riddles from Santa Claus
- Final scene
- Poetry readings or other competitions with gifts
- Parting
Based on this scheme, you can develop a children's New Year scenario on almost any topic. Naturally, changes can be made to it, depending on the duration of the event and its theme. The only thing that should remain unchanged is the creation of so-called “interruptions”, that is, the conversations of fairy-tale characters should be periodically broken up either by a change of characters/settings or by active competitions.
In the event that children are not involved as actors, several should be organized active competitions so that they warm up and don’t get bored sitting in one place. Competitions can be very diverse: dance, sports or theater. This will allow you to most effectively hold the attention of small viewers throughout the matinee.
Every time with the onset of winter, a feeling of anticipation of the most fabulous and bright holiday - the New Year - involuntarily arises in the soul of each of us. At the end of December, a carefree holiday mood spreads literally everywhere with incredible speed: beautifully decorated store windows begin to wink welcomingly with shining lights; New Year trees, abundantly strewn with colorful sparkling toys, cause indescribable delight in children and adults; From houses and street cafes the appetizing aromas of spicy New Year's baking with cinnamon and almonds can be heard. But the greatest joy for children comes, of course, from magical gifts from Santa Claus. To make this wonderful winter holiday bring even more joy and fun to the children, adults are coming up with various competitions for the New Year 2015 for children. We bring to your attention several options for holding festive children's games and competitions.
Floating snowflakes
This competition is perhaps the most popular.
Note! Organizing it is not difficult.
To carry it out, you only need ordinary medical cotton wool and the desire and activity of the kids.
Make small fluffy white lumps of cotton wool that vaguely resemble snowflakes. Distribute the resulting cotton balls to all the children who want to take part in the competition. At the Leader’s command, each child begins to blow from below onto his snow-white lump. Pre-explain to the children the main condition of the competition: you need to try to make the cotton snowflake float in the air for as long as possible (as if it were real). The child who can keep the cotton ball floating in the air the longest is the winner. He gets a prize!
“Making” snowballs
Give the children thin sheets of white paper. Alternatively, you can give each participant in this competition three pieces of paper. On command, the guys must quickly crumple the sheets, trying to give them round shape like a real snowball. The winner is the fastest participant who “blinded” three snowballs faster than others. The winner is awarded a prize, and all the paper snowballs are collected in a pile for the next competition.
Snow Basketball
What types of Christmas trees are there?
The kids are asked to stand in a circle, holding each other's hands. The presenter (Father Frost or Snow Maiden) is in the center at this time and reminds the children that there are different types of Christmas trees in the forest: high, low, wide, thin. As soon as the Leader pronounces the word “high,” the guys should raise their hands up together. If he says “low,” they must squat down with their hands down. Having heard the word “wide”, children should, holding hands, make the circle wide, and if the word “thin” is heard, children need to narrow the circle as much as possible.
Note! To make it more fun, the presenter tries to confuse the children a little.
Magic hoops
The competition is not difficult, but quite entertaining. Several participants are given a hoop (plastic or metal). Before the start of the competition, the Leader must explain the rules to the children. There are several competition options:
- Rotate the hoop around your waist or arm. The child whose hoop can spin longer than others (without falling or slipping) will be the winner.
- Competing guys are asked to push the hoop forward in a straight line on command. Whose hoop rolls further until it falls is the winner.
- For this version of the competition, you will need to spin the hoop around its axis with the fingers of one hand so that it begins to rotate like a “top”. The winner is the participant whose hoop spins the longest.
Pop the balloon
To conduct the competition, you need to inflate colorful balloons in advance. The number of participants is determined by the number of prepared balls. A balloon is placed in front of each child who wishes to participate in the competition at a distance of approximately five steps. The children are first blindfolded with special bandages (scarves, handkerchiefs). As soon as the signal sounds, they must go to their ball, blindfolded, and then crush it with their foot. The one who manages to do this wins.
Note! It will be more fun if, after blindfolding the children, you remove the balloons.
Take a gift
Two active participants are selected. Symbolic prizes are placed in two pre-prepared boxes, preferably of the same size (perhaps shoe boxes). Each of these boxes, wrapped in beautiful gift paper, is tied to a two and a half meter long ribbon. The second end of the ribbon must be attached to a pencil. Competitors must stand on the same line. They are given a pencil with a ribbon tied to it. At the Leader’s go-ahead, the participating children begin to wrap ribbons around pencils. The one who grabs his box the fastest deservedly takes the prize.
Note! To make it more interesting, you can choose a child and an adult for the competition, dressed, for example, in a Barmaley costume.
Put a prize (something light) in the children's box, and a heavy dumbbell in the adult box. Such a competition will be more fun and interesting for children! Children can take turns participating in it - in this case, each child will go home not only with good mood, and also with a prize.
Note! Make sure that New Year's competitions weren't too drawn out or boring.
Remember that babies don’t yet know how to for a long time focus your attention on one thing.
