Holidays in kindergarten were and remaindesirable for both children and parents. Especially exciting is the first matinee - New Year. In the younger group, this is all the more responsible, because the kids are not yet familiar with such large-scale events. How to spend this holiday so that it remains in memory for a long time, this article will tell.
Preparation
Probably everyone loved the Christmas party inkindergarten. The younger group, which is visited by children from one and a half years, needs special preparation for this event. This circumstance is due to the fact that the majority of kindergarten pupils are still not familiar with various fairy-tale characters, and children may simply be frightened by the Snow Maiden or Snowman, with the result that the holiday will be spoiled.
In order to avoid this, it is necessary to begin preparation in advance (ideally ten days). Guys should be directly involved in this exciting process.
So which options to choose?
- Advent calendar.This term has long been firmly established in our lives. It is designed to show the remaining time before the holiday, but at the same time it is an excellent educational platform for kids. In kindergarten it can be a Christmas tree decorated with magic balls, inside of which there are tasks for the whole group today.
- Meet the New Year characters.This communication must be one-sided so that children are waiting for a miracle. Of course, this miracle will be a New Year's matinee. In the younger group, you can leave in a conspicuous place any material for the game, brought by a fabulous hero. For example, the Snowman brought cotton wool to the children, so that they could get acquainted with its properties, think what it looks like, and even make crafts with their own hands.
- Music.The teachers conduct classes with playing and singing of winter and New Year songs, so that the pupils at the matinee feel comfortable. After all, everyone knows that a small child in an unfamiliar environment is lost or experiencing discomfort.
- Literature. Together with the teachers, the children get acquainted with literary works, riddles, poems.
- Observation This technique should be used for a walk, to study the properties of snow (melting, precipitation, viewing snowflakes, etc.).
Scenario
So, preparation is in full swing. Children are very passionate about the process of exploring the winter holiday season. And educators and methodologists at this time prepare the script for the New Year's matinee in the younger group.
It should be spelled out everything to the smallest detail, including the so-called storyboard. For example, "Snowflake (Masha I.) and the bunny (Mitya K.) read poems, holding hands."
From a methodological point of view, this listAction is fundamental. It describes the goals and objectives of the event, its logistical support and the course of action. The scenario of the New Year's party in the younger group should always be at hand with the teacher in order to correct the event or give a hint to the kid who has forgotten the words.
Form of
In fact, for kids there is no bigdiversity in terms of forms of conduct. New Year's matinee in the younger group is usually held based on Russian fairy tales. Sometimes they practice some kind of mixed form, where the unforgettable Father Frost and Snow Maiden remain participants in the celebration, and the heroes of modern cartoons act as their friends (Smeshariki, for example). But certified teachers and psychologists do not recommend holding an event in this form.
Obligatory characters should be the heroes of the old Russian fairy tales, with which the children are already familiar (wolf, fox, bun).
At the beginning of the holiday children are its active participants.They dance, read poems, meet Santa Claus. Then the pupils become spectators of the performance that the teachers arrange for them. Of course, in order to preserve the cognitive activity of children, it is necessary to involve in the performance itself, to make it interactive, alive.
Possible topics
In an era of easily accessible e-books and the Internet, it is not difficult to come up with a thematic focus of the event. An interesting Christmas party in the younger group may have the following name:
- "Сказочные снежинки".It is proposed to beat the fairy tale "Masha and the Bear", but instead of the girl in the house to the bear hit Maiden. And without it, no holiday can be. While the Snow Maiden thinks of how to escape from a bear, snowflakes and Santa Claus himself go to find her.
- "Herringbone - nimble needle." To match the name, all the action must take place near the tree. She will be a full character. It will be important to perform songs about this fairy tree.
- "New Year's phone". The main action is tied to calls from any characters who want to go to the holiday to the kids and congratulate them (Snow Maiden, Santa Claus, the animal is a symbol of the coming year).
Decor
Visuals are very important for small children.aspects of the design of the festive hall. They should understand that it was not for nothing that they waited and prepared for this event for so long. The New Year party in the first junior group should be held in bright light (this can be an abundance of light bulbs, garlands, etc.). An obligatory element should be tinsel, beautifully hung on the walls, decorating pieces of furniture and, of course, the Christmas tree. But again, do not be too zealous and overfill the space with unnecessary elements, otherwise they will distract the attention of children from the presentation.
Christmas party in the second youngest group,In addition to the above, they should be decorated with the works of the children, which they did specially for the holiday (applications, Christmas decorations, drawings on winter themes). Children should know and understand that all this is their gifts for Santa Claus.
Musical content
Песни и мелодичные композиции должны быть thought out in advance. Children need to familiarize themselves with them in music lessons. Since there is a New Year's matinee in the younger group, you should not require the children to learn the whole song by heart. If it is in their power, you can learn only the refrain.
Here are the main children's songs that are suitable for this event:
- "The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree";
- "What is the New Year?";
- "Christmas tree-beacon";
- "If it was not winter."
If with classic songs everything is clear, thenpay attention to modern creativity. For example, in the animated series "Masha and the Bear" several good compositions are used ("Traces", "New Year's Song").
Excellent music works on poems by Andrey Usachev.
Literary content
Usually holiday scripts areoriginal works, i.e. teacher or methodologist independently compose the entire text. It is very important that it be in a poetic form, since it will be more interesting and easier for kids to perceive information.
But the winter poems of the classics are worthBe sure to include in the New Year's mornings in kindergarten. The younger group is probably already familiar with the verses of S. Marshak ("December", "January"), N. Nekrasov ("Snowball"), A. Usachev ("Santa Claus sent us a Christmas tree", "Where does the new year come from?").
Using these and other recommendations, you can make an unforgettable matinee in kindergarten!
