To organize a New Year's party in the senior group of kindergarten is a difficult task. You need to prepare costumes, sets, write an original script, rehearse it with the actors, purchase gifts and get it done in just a month. And at the same time, it is still necessary to carry out their main tasks every day. How to manage everything and not to forget about anything, read in this article.
Dress up kindergarten
New Year's party in the senior group is always a holiday. After all, children are already adults, at least they themselves think so.
Therefore, they are already aware of the significance of the holiday and are looking forward to its arrival. It is this enthusiasm that educators need to use. Children will be happy to help decorate the premises, especially if we say that Santa Claus will definitely appreciate the zeal of everyone. And you can also hint that the wizard will definitely see which of the children put how much effort into decorating, so everyone needs to try the same and not swing out. Otherwise, the gift can be missed. When psychologically children are ready to help, they need to be entrusted with the work that they will definitely do. For example, you can ask children to cut snowflakes or make garlands of colored foil.
The whole senior group can decorate the Christmas beauty - a Christmas tree. It is definitely worth making garlands of natural materials. Anything can be used: dried tangerines, painted cones or clusters of mountain ash. And you can make snowmen out of plastic cups with children or organize a thematic exhibition dedicated to Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
Attribute preparation
New Year's party in the older group requires not only decoration of the room. Need to make all the festive paraphernalia. Children should not be involved in this activity. After all, they can learn their crafts and be convinced of the realism of fairy-tale characters. You need to prepare everything you need either in the evening, or during a quiet hour. And what is paraphernalia? These are all kinds of items that will participate in the New Year's games. If you need to use a bucket for the competition, then it should be decorated with tinsel and snowflakes. If you want to use a magic book, you need to give the ordinary print edition a fabulousness by spraying with artificial snow and decorating with shiny sequins.
The main thing in this process is not to forget anything. And it will be strange if the buckets become magical, and the tug-of-war rope or Baba Yaga stupa remains undecorated.
Games for the Christmas party
Before writing a script for the event, you need to come up with an entertainment program. Games at the New Year's party in the senior group are of great importance. They need to take into account the nature of children, their activity and abilities. For children who like to run, relay races must be included in the script. You can beat them in the form of contests. For example, whose team will quickly transfer snowballs from one place to another. Or make a cat and mouse game. Only the Snow Queen will be a cat, and whoever touches it, it “freezes” and can no longer move. For less active children, calm games are more suitable. For example, with your eyes closed, you need to draw a portrait of Santa Claus or put a New Year's card from pieces of paper. Do not forget about the games in which the whole group participates. This can be a renamed version of the brook or standard round dance around the tree.
Poems for children
Children always love to take part in activities. Therefore, educators are required to give the task of learning poems for the New Year's matinee to the older group. Children will be ready to do anything if Santa Claus does not forget them and brings gifts. You can take classic New Year’s poems or choose something new and original. This should be decided by educators. Examples of verses are given below.
A Christmas tree in summer is just a Christmas tree:
You touch a branch - your fingers are prickly,
The web is twisted around the trunk
Amanita stands below.
That's when the winter comes
The tree will come to life directly:
In the cold it will fluff
Under the winds straighten
Not at all prickly
Like a fragrant flower.
It doesn't smell like dew, not honey
The New Year tree smells!
Scenario “The Snow Queen”
Spend a Christmas party in the older group in the classic way. For example, use the scenario “The Snow Queen”.
Four main characters participate in this production: the Snow Queen, Gerda, Kai and Santa Claus.
Start. Kai and Gerda are playing by the Christmas tree.
- Kai: It's great to pack up at the Christmas tree and play with you sister.
- Gerda: Yes brother, and then look at how many kids came to us, let's say hello to them.
Characters get to know the pupils.
- Kai: Gerda, the guys are all so beautiful, and let's see if they are ready for the holiday.
Children are divided into two teams and a competition is held, whose team will name more attributes of the holiday. The main thing is to ensure that friendship wins.
- Gerda: What kind of guys are great, what clever ones. They are ready for the holiday. And let's go outside, play snowballs.
Characters, and with them the children go through improvised doors. Carers scatter snowballs made of cotton and sintepon on the floor.
- Gerda: Guys, let's play snowballs.
A funny game begins, the children run after each other. At this moment, the Snow Queen appears. She sits Kai in a chair, and he sits motionless, giving the impression that he was frozen.
- Snow Queen: And I see, it's fun here with you.
- Gerda: What have you done, what happened to my brother?
Gerda runs to Kai, touches his hand, but the boy does not move.
- Gerda: The Snow Queen froze my brother. Turning to the Snow Queen: What do I need to do to make Kai come to life?
- Snow Queen: I'm bored in my kingdom-state, entertain me.
- Gerda: Guys, help, who knows the verses, read them to the sorceress.
Children read poetry.
- Snow Queen: Well, you amused me, and now I want to see how smart you are.
A quiz on knowledge of fairy tales.
- Snow Queen: Well done, I didn’t expect you to be so smart. And for what reason are you here?
- Gerda: We celebrate the New Year.
- The Snow Queen: And where is Santa Claus?
- Gerda: Guys, let's call a good wizard.
The children’s name is Santa Claus, and he appears.
- Santa Claus: Did you call me children?
- Gerda: They called you, Grandpa. Then the Snow Queen of my brother froze, we want to return him.
- Santa Claus: What do you want, Snow Queen, to take off your spell?
- Snow Queen: I want to play with the children. If they win, then I will defrost Kai, but if they lose, I will leave the boy to myself.
- Santa Claus: Children, do not let me down, win.
The game begins. Children and the Snow Queen run around the chair, and when the music ends, the one who is closest to him sits down on the chair.
The Snow Queen leaves the game, defrosts Kai and leaves. The holiday begins. The scenario for the older group of the New Year's Eve party “Snow Queen” may be slightly different. You can increase the number of contests or introduce additional actors.
Scenario with fairy-tale characters
The senior group spends New Year's parties in kindergarten differently. One of the popular scenarios is one in which all the popular fairy-tale characters participate. These can be heroes of different works, or you can choose something thematic, for example, a fairy tale about Vasilisa the Beautiful or the Golden Fish. The New Year's morning party of the older group with Baba Yaga is most popular.
The scenario of such an event is presented to your attention.
Actors: Baba Yaga, Koschey the Immortal, Ivan Tsarevich, Snow Maiden and Santa Claus.
- Ivan Tsarevich: Hello, children. How many of you are here today! What, do you have some kind of holiday?
Children answer that they gathered for the New Year's party.
- Ivan Tsarevich: Well, where's the morning party, why doesn't it start?
Children answer that they do not know.
- Ivan Tsarevich: Well, while nothing has begun, maybe we'll play?
Character is playing with children in a little wand.
- Ivan Tsarevich: I was tired of something, the road was long, I’ll sit down on a chair.
He sits on a chair and falls asleep. At this time, Baba Yaga and Koschey the Immortal come out.
- Baba Yaga: Oh, Vanka, and we are just looking for him. Come on, Koschey, tie him while he sleeps, but put a bag over his head.
Koschey the Immortal fulfills the errand.
- Baba Yaga: Oh children, what are you doing here?
Children answer that they have a matinee.
- Koschey the Immortal: What are sad people like that?
Children answer that Ivan Tsarevich is sorry.
- Baba Yaga: Well, we can let Vanka go if you help us.
Children agree.
- Koschey the Immortal: Here we have tasks that we need to complete. First: find the magic snowflake. It should be golden.
Children seek and bring.
- Baba Yaga: And now, kids, we need you to help bring those snowballs here.
The relay race is held.
- Koschey the Immortal: And now the task of accuracy, these snowballs need to get into the bucket.
Another contest is being held. Koschey also throws a snowball, but misses, the snowball falls, breaks, and a golden egg is found there. He grabs him and runs away with a wild cry.
- Baba Yaga: Oh, how I laughed at him, a little more, and he would have lost his life. Well, Vanyush, to untie you? Children, will we untie Ivan Tsarevich?
Children say what needs to be untied.
- Baba Yaga: You will have to complete my task. I want you to play a little with me.
The game "Freeze." The Snow Maiden enters the hall. The game ends, Baba Yaga unleashes Ivan Tsarevich and leaves. The holiday begins with the summoning of Santa Claus, lighting a Christmas tree and giving gifts. The scenario of the New Year's matinee in the older group of the kindergarten can be slightly modified. It is necessary to consider the nature of the children, the skills of the actors and the size of the room.
How should a modern matinee go
Today, many children, unfortunately, do not believe in a fairy tale. That is why in the older group, New Year's parties in kindergarten are of great importance. Carers need to come up with a way to captivate the guys. It can be outdoor games or even contests involving mobile phones. A modern New Year's party in the senior group is carried out using all kinds of gadgets. This includes a tablet, mobile phone, and even a projector. For example, you can call Santa Claus in "Skype" to clarify whether he remembers the matinee. And the Snow Maiden can shoot a short video in which the guys will participate in a flash mob. Such events will help children feel older and become closer with their parents and carers.
Costumes
Every child is waiting for a New Year's fairy tale. Matinee in the older group - this is the realization of a dream. But for each character to be convincing, you need to work on the costume. Ideally, this is, of course, to agree with the theater and lend outfits for one child. If this option does not work, then you can involve parents in tailoring costumes. Most of the gardens are budget institutions, so no money is allocated for new costumes. And I don’t want to do the same mornings every year. Therefore, if there are seamstresses among parents, then they can help make the holiday brighter.
Do you need rehearsals before the matinee with the actors
It is advisable that the main characters are seen at least 3-4 times before the event. And not just met, but rehearsed the script. After all, a rare kindergarten can afford to hire professional actors. But educators and employees of preschool institutions do not go on stage every day, and they do not have much experience. And therefore, they cannot improvise quickly and beautifully. Therefore, you need to rehearse. Moreover, it is advisable to run the entire script, and not just its pieces. During rehearsals, controversial issues may arise or additional props will be required.
Children training
In order to organize an interesting New Year's party for the senior group, it is imperative to involve pupils in the process. After all, they will doubly appreciate the event if they participate in it not only as spectators. Therefore, each child should be given a rhyme to learn, and the whole group should prepare a song and dance. Also, children who have any talents can demonstrate them. Maybe some guys are doing ballroom dancing, or someone can do an acrobatic exercise.
How to put the expectation of a miracle in the hearts of children
The most important thing is that the guys really believe in the holiday. How to create a New Year mood? Carers should beautifully dress up the room and daily tell children tales of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. You can invite the children to draw these fairy-tale characters or even come up with short stories themselves.
Do you need New Year's party
It seems to some that social events in kindergarten make no sense. But this is not so. At matinees, children learn oratory, try to overcome the fear of public speaking. But the most important mission of the New Year holiday is to place faith in miracles in the heart of a child. Indeed, it is this bright feeling that arises in every person on December 31. And this is possible, thanks to New Year's morning parties, which are held in kindergarten.
