Children's matinees are always very bright, sunny, colorful, filled with children's laughter and joy, holidays. Most often, the first matinee for a child is in the garden or the manger. But now different centers and clubs of early development spend Christmas trees and matinees for kids up to two years.
Someone thinks it's early, but practice shows that the baby likes such activities. Eager children sit at the mom on the pens and watch what is happening. Who is more daring, participates in some games or leads round dance, but the bravest ones are eager to fight, trying to get to know Santa Claus or other heroes of the show.
Preparing for the morning performance
To any matinee, in any age it is necessary to properly prepare.
And you should start with the parents. Be sure to find out from the tutors or from the leaders of the center who conducts it, whether you can attend a holiday to you. Whether it is necessary to call grandparents or a place will allow to settle exclusively to mothers with children. Clarify how long the matinee will last, how much earlier the child can be brought to change and prepare (so as not to get into the pandemonium at the entrance and in the room). Will there be a sweet table after the matinee and whether it enters the cost of the holiday or should one pay extra (as an option to bring their own sweets).
All of course they want to save the memory of the first matinees of their children, but it is not convenient when each tries to capture his child, thereby blocking the body to the vidostal children. Suggest that you hire a professional photographer for a holiday or ask someone from your friends to make a holiday on video. So everyone will get the discs for memory and there will be no conflict situations. On New Year's holidays, Santa Claus usually presents gifts that parents have prepared in advance. Do not forget to pack it and sign it at home, so that the baby can have a surprise, and the actor did not have to guess whose gift was left in the bag. If the matinee is held in the kindergarten, as a rule, at the parents' meeting all this is discussed, but it will not help to clarify.
Now you can begin to introduce the child to the upcoming action.
Tell the child that he will fall into a fairy tale, where every boy and girl will be fairy-tale heroes, including him. All of you will gather in the big hall, you will see the performance, read poems, sing songs, dance dances, participate in competitions and competitions. Download in advance the songs corresponding to the subject of the matinee sing along with the baby. Do not forget to mention the gift, but do not make it the most important, otherwise the kid can cry all morning, waiting for the promised surprise. Quite often it happens that the children are afraid of the gray-haired old man of Santa Claus. Show the hero to the picture, acquaint him with him, tell her kindness to the children, about his granddaughter-helper.
Learn the role, songs and poems
For sadikovskih crumbs, the preparation of rhymes is a separate item. Learning by heart does not work for everyone, it may not suffice breathing or diction. Do not push on the baby. You will certainly prepare him for the importance of the event, to the fact that there will be many listeners, but do not go too far. It's just a verse and if the child gets lost, he should not feel that he let you down. This is not the age and not the time when such an ideal reading of poems is worthwhile.
The kid, having received his first child, will be very proud of her. And if suddenly it seems to him funny or a little stubborn simply does not want to play a pig or water, your task is to help him find positive moments in each role.
Tell the child about his person, consider his positive and negative sides. You can show cartoons with the hero, see the books. Most often negative adults play the adults, but if the role went to the child, then just say that it's easier to play good-hearted, Amu confided such an important role. Do everything to make your baby feel special.
Learn the words of all the family. Distribute roles between each other and things will go faster. Even rhymes are remembered easier and faster if they are known and repeated all around.
Costumes for the morning performance
Each child will be important to his suit - a character who crumbs will play on the holiday. For the smallest, the main thing is not to load the suit with props. You should not invent something: a dress, a hat, a bunny costume, a lion, do without sweeping wings behind your back and sharp crowns. Make sure that the child does not prick the clothes, the ion does not pay too much attention to it. After all, at one-year age this is a memory for parents.
Two- and three-year-olds already want to be in a certain image on the holiday. If the garden in the matinee is given a certain theme, then the circle of characters becomes narrower and you only need to work out the suit well. In this case, lucky maids-needlewomen. Their children, as a rule, are the most accurate and original science students. Try to make it with your little son or daughter. Give some kind of task, for example, to glue a snowflake (under your supervision) or to choose a suitable rain. You can buy a ready-made suit or rent it. Is it worth it to spend on-demand volumetric costumes - a big question, because they are not always comfortable for the baby, but as an option, why not. Firms offering costumes for any taste and color, you will find in every city.
If you have not received any particular role, then allow the child to choose the hero he would like to be. Offer him images of various animals, predators and domestic, super-heroes, characters of favorite cartoons and fairy tales. Do it together with the kids. Perhaps you will have to learn anew papier-mache technique or embroidery, well, the birth of children will also return us as a child.
To schoolboys matinees may not be so interesting and costumes they will want minimalist. The maximum on what you can persuade the child - a hat and a raincoat. But if he wants to still be a bright character on the matinee, help choose the image that will match age and character.
Children's morning parties are important holidays in the life of your family. But sometimes it happens that, despite all the training, the kid just does not have the mood, the words are forgotten, the presentation scared. Do not be nervous yourself and try to calm the child, support him, do not punish him, but, on the contrary, encourage him. Perhaps, in the middle of the morning, the kid wakes up and ends up happily. New Year parties often have to be missed from the cold. Of course, this frustrates both adults and children, who have been preparing for a few weeks, but there is a way out. On the eve of the New Year, and often after it, spend so many matinees in the recreation center, clubs of family leisure, that you can go with the child to another matinee and your joint efforts will not be wasted.
We wish you good good tips, colorful characters, learned poems and good mood on children's schools for the whole family.
