All about scenarios for children for the New Year

For each of us, the New Year is a time when all people are waiting for surprises and wonderful celebration. Both big and small become wizards and sorceresses: they prepare gifts, decorate the house and a green guest from the forest. How to make these days unforgettable? A holiday with the family is a great solution: adults and children can play together, show their talents, enjoy communication and preparation.

With the advent of children, the daily routine of the family changes. Weekdays and weekends are built taking into account the schedule of the day of the baby and those that are older. This also applies to celebrating the New Year, which is now being held at home.

For young parents, such innovations often cause a feeling of discomfort - after all, they will have to stay at home and miss the bright impressions, the opportunity to chat with friends.

Preparing a children's party will delight the kids and help adults switch from everyday activities. Parents know their children better than anyone else. If the arrival of guests is planned, this should also be taken into account.

A few tips.

• Better to plan and script the identity in advance. A plan is drawn up in the family circle, and advice from younger ones is accepted on an equal basis with older ones.
• Write a list of guests, including both adults and children.
• Discuss home decoration, festive menu, taking into account the preferences of the guests. Find out from the parents in advance what foods are prohibited and what the child who comes to visit is dreaming about. And of course, pick and pack your gifts.
• Be sure to take time for children's games, choose them so that children of different ages are interested. Adults must take part in this process. Holiday contests, quizzes and even the usual hide and seek will cheer you up and erase the boundaries between ages.
• Help the preschooler choose an outfit, discuss clothing options with the younger students. For the masquerade, if scheduled, the costumes are prepared in advance and kept secret from the rest of the participants.
• Free up space around the spruce, a round dance is one of the New Year's traditions. Why not have fun dancing around the forest beauty!

When planning to organize a New Year's holiday, it is necessary to decide whether Santa Claus and Snegurochka will be invited to it. It is important to remember that animators for young children should not be as noisy and groovy as for older audiences. A stranger in a bright suit with a white beard can cause shyness in the baby and even scare. How long the communication with the fabulous guest will be depends on the baby's reaction, his willingness to make contact and interest in what is happening.

When preparing, one should take into account both the age of the participants and the time allotted for the action itself. The smallest are encouraged to play a small but most important role. If you plan to invite Santa Claus, then, of course, he will give gifts. Dad, grandfather, a family friend in a sheepskin coat and with a beard will not create the atmosphere of a fairy tale - even kids will easily recognize a familiar face. Mystery and gives a unique charm to the main day of the year.

A well-thought-out plan and a pre-prepared scenario for children for the New Year will help to successfully organize and conduct the event. In the vastness of the Web, there are options for different ages. Interesting to come up with your own suggested. Roles and cues are handed out, taking into account the age and abilities of each. Let everyone present prepare and be involved.

Choose unexpected ideas for the event so that it doesn't look like a matinee in kindergarten or a Christmas tree in a puppet theater. It is better for the kid to make a chamber evening without fireworks and unnecessary noise. Young children quickly get tired of a large number of impressions; you can try to combine active and calm activities.

The best option is to prepare a flexible program in which all the main points of the upcoming celebration are spelled out, and several additional fragments to them. The main action sometimes ends quickly, then a pre-prepared list of contests and games will come to the rescue.

Usually, the scenario consists of a plot, played by 2 leading characters, and several modules, including tournaments, competitions and contests. For the little ones, it is better to limit themselves to a small show with a round dance around the fir tree and presenting gifts, which will smoothly turn into their usual games. For schoolchildren of 8-12 years old, a more active and complex event will be required - a masquerade, a quest, theatrical scenes, or even a small performance.

If children of different ages take part in the action, it is recommended to select assignments and tasks according to age. For kids, it will be reading a rhyme, guessing riddles, imitation of the movements of fairy-tale characters to the music, for example, how a grandfather pulls a turnip or a bunny jumps through the forest.Older children are given tasks on logic, questions on intelligence and outlook, you can offer to independently stage a well-known fairy tale in the format of an action movie, comedy, melodrama.

For the holiday, which will be arranged at home, they are preparing more thoroughly. They decorate the rooms, decorate the place where the event is planned. For a short concert or performance, they make an impromptu scene, and for a masquerade they create a mysterious atmosphere. Guests are warned in advance and special invitations can be made.

For the costume ball, each participant prepares a costume, a funny story from the life of his character or a number. For a concert, they offer to perform their favorite song or a scene from a film, and the audience needs to guess the artist or film.

Or you can split into teams and arrange a competition to see who cuts snowflakes better, puts on a snowman suit faster, tells the most unusual story. For winning the contests, they are presented with a sweet prize - marmalade, cookies.

Invite the children to complete the quest in search of the bag of gifts that Santa Claus left for them. Having solved the first task, the guys find the next one and so on up to 6 levels. These can be verbal riddles or pictures and even photographs in which the place of the next task is encrypted.

Going out for a walk with the company of preschoolers and younger students is an adventure, especially if you are going with the whole family. Walking in the fresh air strengthens your health, and New Year's entertainment in the yard or in a country cottage is an active and fun pastime.

Modern children spend too much time in the virtual world, and sometimes there is no time for live communication. How do you like the idea of ​​celebrating a holiday without television and the Internet, far from the bustle of the city? Dress up a Christmas tree in the area, decorate a porch, build a fire or arrange fireworks. It is important not to forget anything when leaving home for the holidays.

It is a good idea to role-play, but you should assign roles in advance and negotiate the rules. Imagine yourself as astronauts on an unfamiliar planet. Night sky, LED garlands, white snow will create a suitable decoration. Or let space aliens fly to conquer planet Earth on the day when earthlings completely lose their vigilance and stay to celebrate the New Year. You don't have to go anywhere, but, for example, go to the skating rink, ride down the hill. Joint walks in the park or in the yard are diversified with games, introducing an element of competition. Funny contests or forfeits will come in handy here.

After fun in the cold, it will be nice to return to home comfort, warm up and gather at the table. Then the whole family can play in the "Field of Miracles", relax and chat. Anyone can take part, and the host will distribute questions, prizes and chocolate coins. Then put the kids to bed and wait for the chimes at the table with friends and family.

You can also hold a children's Christmas tree where many children often gather:

• in the center for extracurricular activities;
• at school (general education, music);
• in kindergarten;
• in library;
• in the gym.

Participants are selected to help the organizers lead the show. They are assigned a role, given words and rehearsals. With the rest of the guys they learn a funny song or offer to break up into teams: come up with a name, a motto, draw posters for a support group.

An offer to prepare a theatrical performance for children may appeal to friends and colleagues. It can be shown in a hospital or an orphanage.

A script for a theatrical performance is easy to find on the Internet. The performance "Silver Arrow" - about the adventures of fairy-tale heroes in modern realities will cheer you up and charge you with a positive. The game program for preschoolers and junior schoolchildren "New Year's Fun" will not let you get bored. Among the many existing options, they select and create the one suitable for a particular event.

The plot of the scenario can be different, it remains to fill it with a game program. Even if the planned event takes a short period of time, filling it with contests and small games will be a great solution.
