Children love to listen and read fairy tales. And they just love to play themselves in amateur performances. Therefore, staging a fairy tale for elementary school children is not only a pleasure for schoolchildren-spectators, but also a great joy for little artists. It is only important to correctly write the script for the performance.

Target direction of modern fairy tales for children

You can not just present the viewer with an ordinary, well-known story. The dramatization of a fairy tale for elementary school children can only vaguely resemble a traditional plot. That is, well-known actors participate in the performance, but they behave a little differently than the plot suggests. Such productions are called fairy tales in a new way.

Usually, staging a fairy tale for elementary school children performs some tasks. It either entertains, or educates, or teaches. This allows you to determine its direction. For example, staging a fairy tale for elementary school children can be musical, mathematical, geographical, humorous, environmental. Nevertheless, it is necessary to achieve such a symbiosis that all tasks are combined in the formulation: educational, educational, and entertaining.

It is very useful to stage the literary works of the classics. Such performances develop the artistic taste of children and enrich them spiritually.

Dramatization of Pushkin's fairy tale

For elementary school children, one of the favorites is "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish." Here the screenwriter does not need to make any special efforts, because it is necessary to leave all the words of the work unchanged.

But what to do with the words of the author? It is best to introduce another character into the performance - the storyteller. To do this, one of the girls is dressed up in a Russian folk costume - a sundress and a kokoshnik - and seated near a window with swinging shutters. This narrator will read the text "from the author."

Russian folk tale "The Fox and the Hare"

From the well-known story of how the insidious Chanterelle kicked the simple-hearted Bunny out of the house, you can make an interesting musical fairy tale. Such a staging of a folk tale for elementary school children will appeal to both viewers and participants in acting.

The bunny builds a hut from large cubes and sings a song to the tune "It's fun to walk together."

The song helps the hard worker in life,

Song in life, song in life

Building a house with her, believe me, is a lot of fun!

Very funny! Very funny!

And I will soon build a solid strong house,

I will not be afraid of the harsh winter!

Once a plank, two planks - there will be a ladder,

Once a word, two words - there will be a song !!!

Fox comes out. She points her finger at Bunny and laughs, then runs away, holding her stomach from laughter.

A girl dressed as Winter comes out and scatters cotton balls from a bucket that imitate snow. The choir sings some winter song about snowfall, winter weather.

The fox puts the cardboard box upside down and puts the cotton balls in a pile on top of it.

The Tale of How the Bear and the Hare Raised the Harvest

The staging of an autumn fairy tale for elementary school children can be educational and educational, from which they learn that stealing is bad, but thanks to work, success can be achieved.

The plot of the story is this. Hare enthusiastically plays a computer game. From the forest, moaning and groaning, the Bear limps. He sits down to the Hare and tells that the villagers caught him in the village when he tried to steal honey from the beekeeper, and beat him with yokes.

Then the Hare thinks: “What needs to be done in order not to starve?” And enters a request to the Internet. And he gets the answer: “You need to grow your own crop!” They, along with the Bear, are interested in how best to do this. And they learn that for this it is necessary to dig up the earth, plant seeds in the beds and water them, pull out the weeds.

Let them fail at first. And then the Queen of the Pomodoro comes to the clumsy. Under her strict guidance, the animals are doing well. And by autumn they get a huge crop of carrots!

Is the story a lie? No, hint!

In fact, when preparing fairy-tale performances, the screenwriter must carefully study all the factual material that concerns the characters. For example, the fact that the Hare is playing computer in the forest is obviously false. However, all children understand this. Therefore, such fantasies are quite acceptable in fairy tales.

The same goes for the Tomato Queen. It is clear as day that there is simply no such creature in nature! This is a fabulous fantasy.

But to enter into the text information that hedgehogs eat vegetables and fruits, love milk, is not worth it. In fact, it is precisely such lies that are harmful. After all, hedgehogs are predators, they feed mainly on mice, caterpillars, earthworms, numb amphibians and reptiles, and sometimes even eat snakes. The hedgehog can also eat berries and fruits, but only if there is no other food.

If the material in the fairy tale is presented correctly, the children who take the hedgehog into the house will not persistently feed it with apples and cucumbers. Most likely, they will offer him some minced meat, fish.

This is how children's horizons should expand through a fairy tale.

It so happened that in the 20th century in Russia, beautiful religious holidays were removed from the lives of children: Easter, Christmas, Angel Day. Magnificently celebrating a child's birthday or the New Year was considered indecent, and often it was impossible. Adults turned children's birthdays into family feasts. At the same time, the little heroes of the occasion, having sorted out the gifts, as a rule, were bored in the corner.
In the last 5-10 years, with the development of the service sector, interest has finally reappeared in organizing children's holiday activities. Special agencies began to be created that could turn any event in a child's life into a fairy tale: a birthday, admission to first grade, or the loss of the first milk tooth. Now you can invite professional animators, that is, specialists in organizing entertainment programs, to any holiday. However, those holidays that are created by the efforts of the parents themselves have no less, and possibly more, value.
Conventionally, children's animation, that is, entertainment, programs can be divided into character and fabulous. Character programs came to us from America, they are widely known from Hollywood films. For children, regardless of their age and number, an animator is invited - a clown (clowness), who entertains the assembled guests by making figurines from balloons, holding fun contests and showing tricks. In our country, instead of a clown, Snow White, Kolobok, Malvina or another bright character of well-known folk or literary tales can act.
The advantage of character programs is their cost-effectiveness, and the most significant drawback is that such programs are not suitable for kids under 4 years old, as well as for very large companies. One animator is physically incapable of giving sufficient attention to these children and even keeping track of them. Also, one animator, as a rule, has the same type of scenario, which does not imply a variety of events. Imagine how disappointed your child will be if it turns out that this particular clown spent the birthday of one of his friends with this program.
Of course, a fabulous entertainment program is best suited for children's holidays. Such a program is a theatrical show based on fairy tales. Several animators create intrigue at the beginning of the holiday: for example, a bag with gifts is stolen or one of the goodies is bewitched. Further, children become the most important participants in the fairy-tale events played out. It is the children who need to solve the problem in the process of games and competitions, help find the treasure or disenchant the princess.
In order to organize a fabulous program, you need to make some effort. If an animator based on the American system can perform without prior preparation, having a number of typical games and competitions in his arsenal, then a script is needed for a “fabulous” birthday. The script can take into account all the wishes of the guests and the individual characteristics of the birthday man. So, the smallest ones can arrange a holiday with Winnie the Pooh, invite an older girl to a ball of real princesses, and offer a boy a pirate party or space adventures.
The fairy-tale program will become even more interesting if, within its framework, a puppet show is shown to children. The advantage of puppet shows is that, as a rule, they are all based on fairy tales known and loved by children. It is well known that a fairy tale touches the deepest layers of the human psyche and helps children learn fundamental human values. A puppet fairy tale teaches a child to think, evaluate the actions of heroes, helps to assimilate ethical norms, develops memory and speech. The rhythmic and melodious language of fairy tales, rich in repetitions and steady turns (“once upon a time”, “runaway bunny”, “sister fox”) creates an atmosphere of true magic.
It seems to many parents that it is impossible to organize a holiday on their own, it is necessary to invite professional animators, but this is not so. Who, if not loving parents, best of all know the dreams and characteristics of their child! If you have some free time and at least two friends or relatives who are ready to try on the roles of fairy-tale characters, you have everything you need to have a "fabulous" birthday.
How to make a child's birthday a truly memorable event?
First of all, you need to take into account the age of the child. It is best to celebrate the onset of the year and two years in the family circle. Remember that the main character of this day is a child, not relatives. Therefore, instead of bothering in the kitchen, make sure that the baby has a festive mood. Do not think that the child is too young to understand something. It is at this age that the child's brain eagerly absorbs any information, and any little thing will contribute to the intellectual development of the baby.
For the celebration of the first two birthdays, you should not organize noisy entertainment, as an overabundance of emotions, even positive ones, will tire the baby. Do not invite an animator - kids are often afraid of strangers. It is better if mother or grandmother acts as the host of the holiday. For the same reason, in no case do not wear masks and do not use stage make-up: the child may not recognize you and be scared. Show your child a simple puppet show based on a story they know. It can be "Kurochka Ryaba" or "Teremok". Play Loaf and arrange funny contests for your relatives.
It is not necessary to invite child guests to the celebrations of the first two birthdays. Such kids, due to age characteristics, still do not know how to play together. If you do not want to devote the whole evening to separating the children who needed the same toy, call only the children of relatives, and even then no more than three.
If, thanks to kindergarten and developmental courses, your child is sociable and has experience of socialization, then already on his 3rd birthday you can organize a real entertainment program. You can invite animators to your home or wherever you plan to celebrate your birthday, or hold a theatrical celebration in a kindergarten.
Based on my own experience, for children 3-4 years old, I consider a program lasting 1-1.5 hours to be optimal. When choosing a script for a show program for a birthday boy, keep in mind that even intellectually overdeveloped children under the age of
4 years is more interesting if they are mostly passive participants. They can follow the clearly given instructions of the animator, but it is difficult for children to improvise and get used to a fairy tale plot, since they have not yet developed role-playing skills. The involvement of kids in the entertainment program is achieved by the fact that at key moments the animator asks them questions that need to be answered in order to help the hero, or encourages children to perform a strictly defined action with a minimal competitive bias.
If you invite animators from a specialized entertainment center or club, pay attention to fia costumes, repertoire and even the gender of the animator. For children under 5, any role, even male - a clown or Santa Claus - should be played by a woman. Male actors do not always find a common language with kids, and children instantly feel the stiffness and unnaturalness of an adult. It is better if you are familiarized with the scenario of the holiday in advance, this will help to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Adults often do not know that most 3-4-year-old kids are afraid not only of Baba Yaga or Barmaley, but also of any clown. Put yourself in the place of a child: suddenly a loud-voiced Something in a bright suit, with a red nose and an unthinkable grimace on his face - either a mouth or a mouth - enters the room. Therefore, only kind and familiar characters should entertain children of 3-4 years old - the Good Fairy, Cinderella, Grandmother the storyteller or animals like Cat Kotofeevich or Lisa Patrikeevna. If you still want to invite a clowness, choose from photographs the one that will have a minimum of stage makeup.
Starting from the 4th birthday, some kind of intrigue can be included in the entertainment program: you need to disenchant the Snow Maiden or help find the stolen magic chest. The older the child, the brighter and more complex the intricacies of the plot should be. At the age of 4, a child can already draw parallels between himself and a fairy-tale hero, make his own additions to the development of the storyline.
From the age of 5, children want to personally participate in events, so the entertainment program for children 5-8 years old can last longer - 1.5-2 hours, and for children 8-12 years old - 2.5 hours. The scenario, in turn, should be such that the birthday boy feels like a strong, self-confident little man, a winner in difficult situations. Such fabulous programs form a child's positive "I", help to realize their capabilities and find ways to realize them.
If 5-8 children gather at the holiday, then two animators should work with them, if there are more than 8 children, a third animator is needed. The older the children, the more animators it makes sense to invite, since the theater program for children should be full of characters with a bright personality.
In a program for children over 4 years old, it is already possible to use a negative character, but his role must be "balanced" by the role of a positive one. For example, Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Wise or Barmaley and Cinderella are present at the festival at the same time. An animator representing a negative image (Baba Yaga) arranges all sorts of troubles within the framework of the holiday scenario, and an animator playing the role of a positive character (Vasilisa the Wise) helps children unite and show their abilities in the fight against evil.
Children over 4 years old like it when, in addition to adult animators, a child animator also participates in the program. Many theater studios now offer programs entirely based on the participation of a child actor: the Snow Maiden with an assistant Hare, the sensible Malvina and the unlucky Pinocchio, etc. By organizing an entertainment program at home, you can safely involve the older sister of the birthday boy or teenage nephew.
I note that for a program for children over 7 years old, any characters can be selected. Girls often want to see fairy princesses and fairies, and boys want to see pirates or robbers. I do not recommend to arrange a holiday with the participation of any superheroes. Firstly, children place excessive hopes on such characters, expecting that Batman will definitely take off, and Spider-Man will throw out a web. When it turns out that the animator does not know how to do this, the children are disappointed. Secondly, superhero birthday parties often end in a general riot, and children become almost uncontrollable by the end of the holiday.
Now regarding the choice of guests. Children 5-8 years old are most comfortable in the company of children close in age (plus or minus 2 years). Schoolchildren of 8-10 years old often invite a noisy company of classmates and friends around the yard to a holiday. Try to limit the number of guests to 10-12, with a maximum of 15 children. As experience shows, purely “boyish” birthdays are possible only if the number of children at the celebration, together with the birthday person, does not exceed 5 people. Otherwise, any game ends with a clarification of who is stronger or a struggle of "superheroes".
