Scenery Carnival in the DOW outdoors and indoors

Observance of traditions makes life more measured and stable. Simple things give a sense of connection with their ancestors. It is pleasant to feel that in the endless everyday vanity there is something unshakable and eternal, that the red thread runs from the past to the future. Probably the most cheerful and long-awaited is the holiday of winter's wake. Cold, but warmed by the bright rays of the sun, it gives hope for a swift change, a new round not only in nature, but in the life of every person.

Therefore, Pancake week is always celebrated in Russia with pleasure and in a big way. Today, a little forgotten traditions are being revived, and again in schools and kindergartens they begin to instill in children the love for simple but cheerful folk festivals. Today, together with you, we will build a bright scenario of Maslenitsa in the DOW.

history of the holiday

It would be nice to introduce the children to the traditional Russian traditions, tell them where the tradition came from before the spring to organize a noisy holiday. The scenario of Maslenitsa in the DOW must necessarily include a small enlightenment work. This holiday does not apply to Christianity, but it went from pagan rituals. However, people were so fond of folk festivals with pancakes that they did not want to give them up. The oil week was dedicated to the wires of winter and to the meetings of spring.

However, the idea itself did not come from scratch. It has long been believed that the land should be warmed up well with dances and dances, then spring will necessarily come. At the end of the celebration, a fire was lit, on which a straw figure was burned. According to one information, it was an effigy of winter, with which they said goodbye. According to another version, it was a symbol of the Carnival itself to hold a merry, festive week.

The main treat

Scenery Carnival in the Dow can not do without the traditional Russian table full of pancakes. This is the main treat at the festival. At the same time, children are always told that every pancake is a symbol of the golden sun, as well as a traditional dish of Slavic cuisine. Served them with different fillings, as well as simply with sour cream and melted butter. On pancakes went to relatives, they were baked on the streets, treated to children. The celebration lasted a whole week in Russia. At this time, we sledged on the slides, went to friends for a get-together, arranged fervent games. And the last day of the week was considered to be Forgiven Sunday.

With the advent of Orthodoxy these traditions are not eradicated. Now a bright holiday is celebrated in the last week before the Great Lent. Many people, forgetting about its roots, believe that this holiday was created specifically to have a delicious meal before long abstinence.

Interesting scenario

The organization of a holiday in a kindergarten includes many factors. This is the decoration of the hall, the selection of festive characters and costumes, the identification of leaders and planning of events. Scenery Maslenitsa in the DOW assumes the obligatory decoration of the assembly hall with colorful objects of folk life. These are pottery and embroidered carpets, kokoshniki, painted matryoshkas. In addition, it is highly recommended to come up with national costumes for toddlers. And this does not require large material costs. Boys fit embroidered shirts, girls shawls. Traditional beads from sheep will be the best decoration.

It is not superfluous to prepare together with the children a few mandatory accessories, which are endowed with a symbolic meaning. This is a straw effigy, the Maslenitsa dolls, the sun and pancakes on ropes. As children are still too small, the main work will have to be done by educators. All serious and basic scenic roles will have to be taken over by educators and parents. The most interesting characters are Maslenitsa, winter, buffoons, foxes and the like. Kids really like funny characters, especially if they come up with interesting contests and give sweet prizes.

Start to celebrate in the garden

Scenery Maslenitsa in the DOW for all groups is best based on a good, fairy tale. So it was much easier for the children to understand who and what the celebration is dedicated to. Especially if it concerns the younger groups. Here it is necessary to devote less time to the history of the holiday, and more emphasis on games. The text of winter wires can be anything. Moreover, one can improvise even in the course of the action itself.

Sorcery on the Threshold

Scenery Maslenitsa in the pre-school in the room begins with familiarity with the characters. Children are represented by two sisters - Winter and Pancake week. And then a small fairy tale is played before them. At the same time, the presenter slowly tells it, and all the others perform the appropriate role.

The essence is approximately the following. Two sisters lived in the forest chamber. Winter is cold and very beautiful, and Pancake week is friendly and good-natured. Every year she helped people prepare for the coming of spring. However, the winter changed its mind to give its reign in the spring. She told the servant - the Snowstorm, to kidnap the Pancake Week so that the heat never came to people.

So gradually the holiday - Maslenitsa in the Dow. The script involves children in interesting activities, since it will be up to them to free the poor girl. Now the birds will have to fly to the people and tell the misfortune. And smart housewives will start to bake hot pancakes and scatter them over snowdrifts. To do this, the kids can give out colored rings and practice accuracy, throwing them onto a sports stick standing in the center of the room. You can take and plastic plates, throwing them in boxes or bags.

Games continue

The snow is melting, and our girl is all in prison. Apparently, this is not the way to defeat the winter. However, a loud laugh will help. A buffoon comes out in a bright suit. Now, with his jokes, he must make the children laugh so loudly that Winter gets angry and leaves. Dances, incendiary dances, funny contests - everything goes well here. Who is the fastest of all going through a tight rope (it does not matter that he is lying on the floor), and who, holding a spoon in his mouth, will be able to transfer the egg from one jar to another? Funny starts are a great way to warm up and have fun.

A lot of fun is the group gathering of the herbarium. This requires two teams, circles with wire grating and artificial flowers. One by one the participants will have to choose one flower from the general bouquet and weave them into the circle of their team. When the music is finished, you will need to evaluate who the herbarium turned out to be.

We leave on the street

The fun is in full swing, however the girl is still imprisoned. To get it out, you need to go out urgently. The scenario of Maslenitsa in the DOW on the street can also be very unusual and interesting. Winter terribly does not like noisy and funny games, so to drive it away, you need to have a lot of fun. There is nothing easier, not a single winter off-road can not do without skating from the hill. This will require ice cans, cartons and other accessories for skiing. Let her see the cold sister, how fun Maslenitsa is. The scenario of the holiday with games in the DOW is not difficult to write at all, the kids respond well to any suggestion to play.

And now let's fire at the snow of the wicked sister. To do this, it is necessary to build two barricades in advance from snow lumps or sheets of cardboard reinforced in snow. Two teams will have to sculpt snowballs, and try to destroy the fortification.

Burning Carnival

Nothing comes out, and the girl is still in prison. Now Carnival through its faithful birds suggests burning yourself in the middle of the street to melt the ice and release the spring. Here you want to make a small reservation, do not plan too many events on the street, when you make up the Maslenitsa script in the DOW. The senior group can stay in the fresh air for up to 30 minutes, and it will be better for kids to start earlier, so that they do not get sick.

Here an assistant is needed who will tell the children that it is not worth burning the very pretty maiden, you can make a small scarecrow made of straw. The guys help put the stuffed figure in a dress, and tie it to the pole. Usually burning in the kindergarten is symbolic for safety, and, leading a round dance, the group returns back to the garden. You can diversify the scenario of the Maslenitsa holiday in the DOW on the street. To do this, prepare colored flags and spend merry starts in the fresh air.

We return to the group

After everyone played enough, it's time to tell poems. Now the guys are already greeted by Spring, and she is ready to listen to works about delicious pancakes, leaving the winter and approaching warmth. Guys who coped well with the task, waiting for gifts - cardboard flowers, symbols of spring. And then from them it will be possible to collect all together one large poster, a real glade with snowdrops

Skomorokh can come up with thematic riddles, which the children will be happy to guess and receive additional prizes for this. If you break children into two teams, then a more beautiful poster will be obtained from the one whose participants have guessed the most of puzzles.

Delicious Tea Party

Everyone was already tired and hungry. Now it's time for tea. To do this, the guys sit down at the set tables, where they are waiting for ruddy pancakes, bagels and sweet rusks, flat cakes and pies. According to the Russian tradition, children learn to send each other a treat. This is a lesson of generosity and cordiality, which will be very useful in the future. If Pancake week was celebrated before lunch, now it's time to go to bed. If the tutors decided to postpone the celebration for a while after mid-day snack, then by the end of the festivities, parents usually start to take the kids home.

Instead of concluding

In fact, we have given only an example on the basis of which your entertainment scenarios can be built. Maslenitsy in the DOW are the most long-awaited and bright holidays, such a welcome in the run-up to the spring. Depending on the age of the pupils, you can make the holiday longer or shorter, more or less saturated. Usually for younger groups it fits about 30 minutes, for older people it can last up to 1.5 - 2 hours, including walking on the street. Longer delay is not necessary, fatigue does not contribute to a good impression of the holiday. Tasty pancakes and pies can be prepared for children by their parents or on occasion to bake in the dining room of a kindergarten.
