Often from parents, teachers, teachers, organizers, counselors health camps holiday, the question arises: “How to arrange an interesting, memorable holiday for children?”
What does this question have to do with children of very different age categories - from toddlers - kindergarten students, students primary classes, teenagers to already matured boys and girls.
Carrying out game program- the most suitable remedy to solve this problem. As a rule, game programs have a specific theme and focus. It could be New Year's party, game disco, stage performance with the participation of spectators, sports festival etc. Carry out festive event animators are actors dressed in costumes familiar to children, characters from fairy tales, cartoons, and feature films. Games held at the holiday can be various types physical, intellectual and emotional activity: entertaining competitions, educational games, outdoor competitions, role-playing games.
As a rule, the action develops under conditions determined by the script of the game program. Games fit harmoniously into storyline holiday. In general, this is a performance among spectators, involving them in participating in games and competitions with the presentation of prizes.
From the above, it becomes clear that it is very difficult to create a good game program without a pre-written script. To facilitate the work of animators (they can be parents, teachers, and older children), a section “” has been created. Here you will find scripts on various topics and tastes, for small and large children.
All that remains is to wish you good luck and a creative approach to bringing the chosen scenario to life!

Now we need to split into two teams, which I propose to call “Pencils” and “Paints”. For winning each competition, teams will earn one point, which means you need to try hard to win.
Leading: I suggest you start with a small relay race.
Teams line up in columns one at a time.
The first players are given a piece of chalk. At the leader’s signal, they must run to the finishing point and draw a triangle on the asphalt near it. Then, the player must run around the finishing point and run back to the team. Pass the chalk to the next player and stand behind the column.
On the asphalt in front of each team, it is necessary to draw 8-10 flowers with chalk in advance.
The first player, at the leader’s signal, must jump from flower to flower without opening his legs. Run around the finish point and run back. With a clap of your hand, pass the baton to the next player and stand behind the column.
The team that completes the task faster wins

The presenter randomly raises a colored card up and loudly calls the color. Players in teams who received a card of the same color must run up to the leader and take the card from him, whoever is faster. The player who takes the card earns one point for his team.
The team with the most cards and, accordingly, points wins.

“I decided to just travel around the world and didn’t know that everything would turn out like this. I thought everyone was as kind as my Grandmother and Grandfather. But it turned out that evil, cruel, and cunning people live in this world...” ( Kolobok)
“I knew it would end like this. I’m too shabby and old, I’ve been standing in the field for so many years. I dreamed, of course, that someone had settled inside me... But there were so many of them that I simply could not stand it and collapsed..." ( Teremok)
“What a tail this mouse has! Can't compare with either Grandfather's fist or Grandmother's fist. And this Mouse had to run out at the most inopportune moment. Now everyone would admire me..." (Egg from the fairy tale “Ryaba Hen”)
“It feels good to be on this girl’s head. I like to go with her to visit my grandmother. But here’s the problem: my mistress is very, very trusting. Because of this, all sorts of troubles happen to her..." ( Little Red Riding Hood )
“Honestly, it’s unpleasant when the Cat puts you on your feet. He has claws! Of course, I understand that all this running around is for the sake of the owner, but it hurts..." (Boots, fairy tale "Puss in Boots")
“We didn’t want to let her down. We could have fallen behind, and the whole story would have ended there, at the ball. But we have no right to rush or lag behind.” (Clock, fairy tale "Cinderella")
“It’s very harmful for me to be in the water. Thanks to this curious boy. If it weren’t for him and the Turtle, how long would I have lain at the bottom?” ( Golden Key )
“I am, of course, ready to fulfill any of her wishes. After all, her husband saved my life. But what more to a person you give, the more he wants. So such people have to stay with nothing.” (Fish, "The Tale of the Goldfish")
“I stayed alive only thanks to this little, fragile girl. She warmed me, fed me, gave me water. What a wonderful life! Enjoy the sun and warmth!” (Swallow, fairy tale "Thumbelina")
I also suggest turning into fairy-tale heroes yourself. Shall we try?
8. “Fairytale relay race”(children are divided into teams)
First: The Little Humpbacked Horse.
Participants bend at the waist. Place the ball or inflated balloon on your back. To prevent the ball from falling during movement, it must be held with your hand, while remaining in a half-bent state.
Second: Baba Yaga.
Question: what did Baba Yaga use to fly?
Each participant stands with one foot in a bucket and holds a mop with the other. In this position, you need to cover the entire distance. (Option: run the distance “riding a broom”)
Third: Cinderella
Participants with a broom and dustpan walk the distance, collecting candy wrappers or specially “scattered” pieces of paper along the way.
Fourth: Alice the Fox and Basilio the Cat
Question: which of them pretended to be blind, which was lame?
Two pairs: the Fox bends his leg, holds it with his hand, the cat is blindfolded. They go arm in arm.
At the end of the event, an improvisational performance is staged.
Play.
(based on the fairy tale “Hedgehog in the Fog” by Sergei Kozlov)
The roles are distributed between the children: mosquito, moon, cow, dog, hare, hedgehog, star, grass. The presenter reads the text, the children portray the heroes of the fairy tale.
Komarik ran out into the clearing and played a squeaky violin. The moon came out from behind the clouds and, smiling, floated across the sky. “Mmm-oo-oo-oo,” sighed the cow across the river.
The dog barked and the hare ran along the path. The hedgehog sat on a hill and looked at the moonlit valley. It was so beautiful that from time to time he shuddered: was he dreaming of all this. And the mosquito never tired of playing his violin, the hare danced, and the dog howled.
“I’ll tell you, they won’t believe it!” – thought the Hedgehog and began to look even more carefully in order to remember all this beauty. “The star has fallen,” he noted, and the grass tilted to the left. The hedgehog went and fell into the river. He began to beat with his paws in all directions. Then he took a deep breath and went with the flow. When he got ashore, he thought, “This is the story.” He shook himself off and went into the fog.
Presenter: Well done guys! Thank you for attention.
Who is not familiar with the situation when a good, interesting, exciting script for an event is written, an exhibition of drawings or crafts is organized, but the name cannot be thought of... But often it is a well-chosen name of the event that can arouse interest in the audience and a desire to attend it.
What should the name of the event be?
Firstly, it must be suitable.
For example, for an exhibition of decorative and applied arts such names as:
– "City of masters",
– "Skillful fingers ",
– "Man-Made Miracles"
– "Talent call".
If the exhibition is dedicated to a certain type of arts and crafts, this can also be emphasized in the title, for example:
- “Forge of Happiness”(exhibition of forged products),
- “Songs of the Potter's Wheel”(exhibition of clay products)
- “Poem about a tree”(artistic wood carving),
- “White Fairy Tale”(lace making).
If we are preparing a professional holiday, we can make sure that the profession is guessed in the name:
– for Medical Worker Day –“Emergency cult-aid”, “Recipe” Have a good mood»
– for Builder’s Day:“Foundation of Happiness”, “Home Fires”
– for Motorist Day:"Wheel of Fortune", "The Roads We Take"
– for Agricultural Workers Day:“Birch Tree Festival”, “Golden Wheat”, “Hands Smelling of Bread”, etc.
It is wrong to start working on an event with a name. At the beginning, you need to decide on a topic and idea, then it will be much easier to come up with a name. Let's give an example. Working on the script of a competitive game program for children's event dedicated to international day protection of children, you first need to develop an idea for the holiday, sketch out a scenario plan, and then, based on the plan, focus on the name. For example: the idea of devoting an event to introducing children to culture different countries: with games, proverbs and sayings, symbolism, can be called “Around the World in One Summer”, “Journey to the Land of Childhood”, etc.
Secondly, it’s good if the name is figurative . Usually a person perceives an image most easily, so you can try to create a “picture” in your imagination using words. For example, in our country there is a festival called "Maypole", celebration of poetry "Chamomile Rus'", children's and youth creativity competition "Snowdrop".
Thirdly, you can create symbolic title: a symbol dictionary will provide an invaluable service here. For example, from it we learn that:
spark - symbolizes the soul;
labyrinth - mystery, mystery;
ray – creative energy;
crane - longevity, wisdom, honor;
dolphin - salvation, speed, power of the sea;
mountain – spiritual height, ascent, aspiration;
bridge - unification;
dawn - hope and youth;
candle - a lonely human soul;
lyre – poetic inspiration.
So, using the last symbol, you can select a name for a poetry competition, for example “Golden Lyre”, “I dedicated the lyre to my people” etc.
Fourthly, the name can be intriguing . In this case, it should be suitable for the event, but not “reveal all the cards.” An example would be the name of the program "Film, film, film», “It was a matter of...”
“Shake, hello!” etc.
Try playing with words, for example, replacing boring adjectives with nouns. So, if we are talking about an exhibition of lace-making masters, let it not be called “ Fabulous lace" and « Lace fairy tale"; if about an exhibition of pottery, then – not “ Wonderful clay" and "Miracles potter's wheel » ; about the exhibition of embroiderers – not “ Magical threads", and "Magic at the tip of a needle."
Important besides common name try to rename the event form itself so that it also arouses interest. Moreover, its content may not change. Remember how in Gerald Bezhanov’s film “The Most Charming and Attractive” the main character bakes a cake "Tea" but comes up with a romantic name for it "Maestro". Try to do the same instead of boring " competitive gaming programs" and "quiz" name the events fabulous cruise"Flying ship" or travel game"Around the world in one summer." Agree, this sounds more interesting.
Where can I find a name for an event?
1. Since the name consists of words, it is useful to seek help from word masters - poets, writers, journalists . Often a line from a poem can be used as a title. For example, for the holiday dedicated to March 8 - “And the ice melts, and the heart melts,” for Valentine's Day - “I am conquered, love, by your strength.” Line from a song "Where does childhood go" would be a good name for High school prom At school. Title of the film by Mark Zakharov "An Ordinary Miracle" suitable for a festival of amateur creativity for disabled people.
2. You will find many ideas in prose: fairy tales, novels, stories. It is useful to remember literary heroes or literary images, such as Scarlet Sails, Blue bird, Scarlet Flower, Tsvetik-Semitsvetik, Lukomorye. Myths provide great scope for finding a suitable name: ancient Greek, myths of the ancient Slavs.
3. Journalists are experts at coming up with catchy headlines. Therefore, when reading articles on various cultural events, pay attention to the headlines and write down the most beautiful and interesting ones. They may be useful to you in the future.
For example: "See the world with your heart"(article about the festival of creativity for disabled children), "Fantasy Parade"(about the exhibition of decorative and applied arts), "A New Dawn of an Old Friendship"(about the holiday of national cultures),
"Heart to Heart"(about the international festival folk art) etc
4. Next source – quotes and sayings prominent personalities: writers, politicians, teachers, philosophers, etc. Quotes are usually long, so you need to select keywords from them for the title.
For example, from the statement of P. Beranger “A mother’s heart is an inexhaustible source of miracles” a name for a holiday can be obtained, dedicated to the Day mothers - "An inexhaustible source of miracles." And from the saying of Pliny the Elder, “Home is where your heart is” - the name of an event dedicated to family.
5. Ordinary experts can help you find names dictionaries. We are not able to keep all the words in memory; many of them are forgotten due to the fact that they are used infrequently.
6. If you urgently need to come up with a name, and only have a telephone directory at hand, I suggest you use helper words. Unfortunately, they won’t produce an original name, but it’s still better than nothing.
7. Another option is to simply substitute a hero, object or some concept (from your event) into one of the words below.
ü Visiting(we substitute the hero depending on the theme of the event - “Visiting Santa Claus”, Lesovichka, Cinderella, etc.)
ü Holiday(Russian scarf, childhood, sun, friends, books).
ü Adventure(sunny bunnies, snowman, etc.)
ü In the kingdom(flora and fauna, fantasies, spring, love)
ü ABC(health, soldier, parents)
ü Journey(on an airplane carpet, to the country of childhood, etc.)
ü Gold(aya, oh) (“Golden Thread” - a competition for fashion designers, “Golden Pen” - for poets, writers, journalists)
ü Music, melody(summer, love, soul, heart, nature)
ü Fairy tale(s)(forests, seas, winter fairy tale)
8. If you have a lot of time, try using association method .
For example, you come up with names for the holiday of March 8th. What do you associate it with? Write down everything that comes to mind.
warm bouquet beauty heart care music
perfection feelings tenderness
When your imagination is exhausted, try to make up a name from the written words.
For example:
1. A bouquet of the most tender feelings
2. If spring lives in your heart
3. Oh, women, your name is perfection!
The more associative chains you create, the greater the choice of words for the name. During this work, you can ask various questions: “What do women like,” “What are their main qualities,” etc. Write down the answers.
Useful tips
1. Avoid cliched names such as
o “Mom, dad, I am a sports family”
o “Bread is the head of everything”
o “My years are my wealth”
o “All ages are submissive to love”
o “Say no to drugs”
o "In healthy body– healthy mind”, etc.
These names themselves are good, but they are used so often that they have lost their novelty.
2. It is better if the name does not begin with prepositions. For example, in our region, theatrical and concert programs were held: “And the song also fought,” “And for the sake of life on earth.” The title should be short. Don't make it too long.
3. The title should contain some idea, avoid nothing talking names, for example, “At my Russia” (Russian Unity Day). This begs the question: “What exactly does my Russia have?”
4. Don’t forget to separate the titles with commas: “Walk , Cossack", "Hello , nice little village."
5. You should not use the well-known truths “Sport is health”, “Drunkenness is poison!”
6. Don't focus on negative word in the title, for example, “Narcotic dope.” In the title, good must triumph over evil - "I choose life."
