Getting ready for the holiday
Children's matinees require careful preparation. Of course, the lion's share of the work falls on the shoulders of teachers. However, the comfort of the child’s stay at the event depends on the parents. There are no small details here.
First, make sure your child is an active participant in the activity. To do this, study the children's repertoire and repeat it at home. You should not miss rehearsals, participating only in the holiday itself. Your child will concentrate not on emotions, but on correct execution, and this will affect the quality and impressions.
Secondly, choose a costume that matches the overall theme of the holiday so that the clothing is appropriate. Choose a costume together with your child; it is important that the child likes the chosen outfit.
Thirdly, take care of the child's comfort. Clothes and shoes should be light, as the child will have to move a lot. At the same time, the baby should not be hot or cold, he should not experience discomfort associated with the details of the costume.
Fourth, think about your role at the holiday. Children are very pleased if their parents take an active part.
How are children's matinees in kindergarten useful for children?
First of all, the task of matinees, as well as any holidays in general, is to add variety to the usual and monotonous way of life of children. Add positive emotions, colors and joy to it.
If we talk about the practical component of children's matinees, we can highlight several main pedagogical functions that they perform.
Which ones?
- motivation for creative activity. To perform at the matinee, children are taught to sing, dance, tell something, and so on. All this stimulates their creative development.
- Strengthens the relationship between parents and children. Parents most often also take an active part in preparing for the matinee, so their relationship is especially active during this period. They learn poetry together, choose an outfit for a performance, and so on.
- rally children. In addition to individual performances, children perform together at matinees. A common choir, rehearsals of skits, joint dancing, all this requires preparation and coordination. To do this, children need to learn to interact with each other.
Children's matinees are, as a rule, long-term joint work of children, their parents and teachers. During the preparation period and during the performance, many important tasks are solved.
What are children's parties?
Children's matinees are small holidays in which so many emotions, children's experiences, and the work of educators and teachers are invested.
Such holidays in kindergarten took place in the first half of the day, between breakfast and lunch. That's why they got that name.
The task of matinees is to diversify the lives of children, to make it brighter and more interesting. Matinees primarily have a general emotional meaning, but also perform a number of different pedagogical functions.
What functions?
Basic rules for holding a New Year's party for children of different groups
Junior age category
- the morning time is chosen for the celebration,
- the matinee lasts 20-25 minutes, including time for presenting gifts,
- The holiday is accompanied by a teacher and an assistant.
You shouldn’t invite moms and dads to a celebration for kids 2-3 years old so that the children don’t get distracted. It’s better to make a video or video - parents will watch it later.
At this age, many children consciously see a large decorated Christmas tree for the first time, and some consciously meet Father Frost and the Snow Maiden for the first time. Therefore, Santa Claus can be replaced with familiar fairy tale characters if there is a risk that the elegant, impressive Santa will scare the children. The role of the Snow Maiden is usually played by one of the teachers. Her task is simple - take the kids to the Christmas tree, sing a song with them, show them toys, and organize a New Year's round dance.
Important! The program of the New Year's party for children aged 2-3 years always includes a surprise moment - the lighting of garlands on the Christmas tree.
Middle and senior groups
It is recommended to spend 34-45 minutes celebrating the New Year in these groups, including presenting gifts. The celebration can be held before lunch or in the afternoon. For children over 3 years old, the script is usually more complicated: it is based on a familiar fairy tale, but the number of characters increases and some of the roles are assigned to children.
The performance includes songs, poetry recitations, round dances and dialogue scenes in Russian and English. Relay races and games are selected from among active competitions, and roles are distributed so that each child can reveal his or her talent.
Important! By the age of 4-5, children are actively interested in cartoon characters and many strive to be like them. Take this into account when drawing up a scenario and creating a dress code for the holiday. It is advisable to choose the same gifts for children of each age group: universal, equally interesting for boys and girls. Also, the gift should not contain factory-made sweets and fruits.
At the New Year's party for older groups, it is necessary to constantly maintain interest in what is happening. Switching from one type of activity to another helps here, as well as including surprise moments in the script. In order not to tire the children, the program numbers are rehearsed separately from each other, and before the event there is one dress rehearsal.
Who invented children's matinees? ⠀
So, who and why invented matinees in the first place?
Initially, of course, the idea was conceived as a holiday for the children. A significant event is coming: the Autumn Festival, New Year, March 8th. All these dates are a good reason to arrange a treat, as well as to show off your talents, who is capable of what.
Matinees began to be held in kindergartens in the USSR. The traditions of holding matinees go back to Soviet times. Each matinee was a real costume ball. The brightest were New Year's, February 23, “Dad's Day” and March 8, “Mom’s Day.”⠀
Modern matinees are in no way inferior to Soviet ones. Although it all depends on the specific kindergarten. Now the focus is on really showing the kids' abilities and what they have learned.
It is important for parents and teachers to see the fruits of their work. Note what each child is more inclined to do, what skills need to be developed. ⠀ At RigaKids, they carefully look and listen to the talents of their students!
