Children's matinees and Christmas trees are undoubtedly very useful for children of any age. They allow exciting and interesting time, recharge positive energy and tune in to the New Year mood. In addition, during such holidays, kids learn to communicate with each other, speak to the general public, and in some cases, and make original crafts.
In this article we will tell you what kind of entertainment activities for the New Year are held for children in kindergarten and other institutions, and what features of their conduct exist for each age.
New Year's events for the youngest children
The youngest boys and girls under the age of 3 must attend the New Year's children's events. If your karapuz already goes to kindergarten, educators together with their parents will arrange for the kids a cognitive and interesting matinee, in which each of them can show their abilities.
Typically, for such festive events for children, dedicated to the New Year, invite a variety of creative groups that show kids puppet shows and in every way entertain boys and girls.
The most popular heroes of Christmas trees and matinees - Snow Maiden and Santa Claus - are not always present here, as they can frighten little children and permanently knock them out of the rut. If you all decide to invite these characters to your event, or dress like a parent or teacher, be careful.
Allow the kids to adjust and get used to the environment and only after that call Santa Claus. Do not force the children to speak before this hero and all the other kids, if they do not want to. Also, explain in advance to the actors who will act as Father Frost and Snow Maiden, that children are extremely undesirable to touch with their hands if they do not show their own desire.
Finally, any characters of children's events for the New Year, who congratulate the smallest children, should talk as quietly as possible and in no case make sharp movements. On such a holiday there should be no bright and noisy fireworks or special effects that can scare the kids, regardless of where the event is held - in kindergarten, at home or on the street.
With children from 3 to 7 years, things are much easier. In most cases, they take part in games, contests and other similar entertainments with great pleasure, dance, sing and tell tales and rhymes. In addition, children of this age are eagerly awaiting the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus, so on their holiday they must be sure.
New Year's events for children in school
Children-schoolchildren, especially high school students, gladly organize New Year's events on their own. Often on the eve of the New Year, various creative competitions are held in schools, where each child can demonstrate his talent.
Famous heroes, as a rule, are depicted by the participants of the holiday, however, at this age, it is already impossible to deceive the children. All of them perfectly understand that Santa Claus does not exist, and the Snow Maiden is just a disguised teacher.
During the New Year holidays it is desirable for schoolchildren to visit one or several recreational activities, for example:
