The onset of the May 1 holiday, long before its arrival, pleased us with memories of vivid colorful and cheerful moments, starting from childhood. Adults were preparing for it both at home and at work. Children were preparing for him - they learned poems, songs, dances. The facades of houses and institutions, streets, parks were decorated, bouquets of flowers were made, twigs were placed in water in advance so that green leaves bloomed on them, and then beautiful flowers made by themselves at school or in kindergartens were tied to them.
Everything was filled with joy, spring warmth, and nature itself resembled a garden of paradise - apple trees and cherries blossomed, lilacs emitted its stupefying aroma, dandelions brightly opened their sun heads on lawns and roadside curbs.
To bring this lively and unforgettable atmosphere into the modern life of our kids in kindergarten is possible by making them wizards who can put their hands into creating a miracle. And for this it is necessary to draw up a script for the May 1 spring holiday.
Preparation and scripting of the spring holiday
Let's start by presenting a general plan.
The script should include not only a theatrical performance, a concert , literary and musical composition, but also the preparation of the premises, the decoration of the facade of the children's institution and even the house where the children live, having discussed this moment with parents. And also the preparation of jewelry, souvenirs, gifts. You can develop this activity in such a way that you can present these souvenirs either to orphans in orphanages, or to lonely old people or cancer patients.
In advance, in two to three weeks, we give out the homework to the children. Of course, they need to be coordinated with parents - their abilities and abilities. They should be tried to inspire active participation in the upcoming spring holiday plan in the middle group.
The scenario can not be discussed all, but only those moments in which they can take part with their child, although the general idea may interest them more.
Preparation of the main part of the script
Prepare with the child the words of literary composition, songs, skits, talk about his participation in the flash mob, discuss the possibility of preparing a costume, blanks for handicrafts. All this preparatory work is carried out with each parent and child. Thus, this is precisely the community that the children's spring holiday is dedicated to.
The script will be drawn up and changed, depending on such training of the entire friendly team of educators, parents and the children themselves.
Particular attention to communication with parents
Communication with parents occupies a special place in preparation for the holiday. They are asked to prepare costumes, together with the children to discuss the plan for this day with the whole family, to decide how the apartment, house, child’s room will be decorated. They can also compose a script for a home holiday - congratulations at dinner, a concert after or before it - as well as the opportunity to invite guests and friends.
All this will give the child the feeling that this day is really very important. In turn, in the kindergarten, when preparing the script for the holiday of spring and labor, the child will be told the history of this bright day on the calendar and why it is so valuable to our people.
Participation in the preparation of the event will give the child confirmation of this knowledge, and during the course of the event, he will have an awareness of the joy of a sense of unity of people, to which, in fact, everything is dedicated.
How to plan a spring festival in kindergarten
The scenario, as the realization of the possibilities of children's creativity, must be composed taking into account the creative abilities and inclinations of children in the group. Or vice versa, by writing a script, identify its comparability with the potential of children and distribute the implementation of its performance among the children of the group.
Writing a script for the spring holiday can be done either independently, using your experience and talents, or use ready-made schemes and best practices.
We meet at the gate!
Naturally, the ready-made scenario for the spring holiday may not be fully suitable for your plans. In addition, it does not contain the entire pre-training period. Therefore, a scenario of the spring holiday from the very first minutes of the child's arrival in the group is proposed here. It is possible that on this day, not only one group, but the entire kindergarten team will be ready to hold a holiday for children and adults, decorating the fence, the front door, windows and the interior of the institution, which will cause an enthusiastic state for everyone.
On this day it is possible to use suitable joyful music in a group in the hallway, where the children dress up all together. Given that the kids love balloons very much, you can make an arch out of them to enter the group, or to enter the hall where all the holidays are held. Balls are used in different sizes and colors, from which various garlands and compositions can be made.
Holiday walk before lunch
After breakfast, the children will be taken for a walk where they can have fun games with adults - for example, put a stylized shovel in the center as a bright symbol of work, and tie long ribbons of different colors to it and then circle in a certain order around it so that beautiful pattern.
Each participant in the holiday can, for example, give out a small wand with the same beautiful ribbons tied to the tip. This souvenir fluttering in the wind will surely cheer up kids. Boys can make such sticks themselves. And girls, as homework, can prepare beautiful wreaths of paper or other flowers, and if possible, collect wildflowers. Undoubtedly, such wreaths will bring great inspiration to the kids from contact with wildlife and its gifts.
We sit down at the fabulously laid festive table.
Those mothers who cook well can bake wonderful tasty figures from the dough with their children for a happy day. And the rest, along with adults, can participate in the festive table setting for dinner. In advance, you can prepare individual gifts in the form of small souvenirs on your homework: beautiful napkins and children’s drawings, congratulations wrapped in them, or small flowers with which you can elegantly decorate the table, etc.
After refreshments, you can hold the main concert part of the script, where the children will sing, read poetry, dance and dance.
And after the end of the holiday, going home from kindergarten, you can visit your grandparents to give them spring gifts and listen to their story about this day. Arriving home, the child must necessarily share his impressions of the holiday and it would be good if he painted the most beautiful experiences of this day.
