The goals of the autumn party
Why and how to spend the Autumn Festival in the senior group? If matinees for the New Year or March 8 is a common occurrence in kindergartens, then what is the content and purpose of the autumn holiday is not entirely clear.
In fact, such an event has an important educational and educational value for preschoolers. The objectives of the Autumn Festival are as follows:

Scenario: preparation features
How to script Autumn Festival (senior group)? The kindergarten has a certain amount of material and technical equipment, including a hall for events, equipment, the presence of costumes and decorative elements, as well as methodological developments and literature. Assessing the indicated possibilities of the preschool educational institution, one should start choosing the plot of the holiday.
Children of the older group can be interested in modern fairy-tale characters, unusual light and sound effects, creative design. The actual solution will be to hold a holiday in the form of a quest, for example, "Smeshariki meet Autumn." The fact is that older kids are already quite independent. If younger pupils play the role of an observer and can only imitate the activities of an adult, then the children of the older group are ready for independent execution, active participation.
The task of the teacher, as well as the parents of the kids, is to attract children to the active work of preparing and implementing the holiday. But we must not forget that the adult must still manage and control the process. However, not direct instructions, but only recommendations, friendly advice to guide the activities of the child.
The role of children in preparing for the matinee
As mentioned above, older preschoolers should be as involved as possible in the preparation for the event. Adults need to remember that the purpose of the event is the development of children. Therefore, it is important to listen to the ideas of the kids, their desires. Thus, children will develop self-confidence, they will learn to be responsible for their actions, to solve problematic issues. With such an organization of children's activities, the Autumn Festival in the older group of kindergarten will become memorable and informative. The scenario of the event should be adjusted depending on the capabilities and abilities of the participants.
What can a child do during preparation for the Autumn Festival:
- choose and learn a poem from those proposed;
- determine the role at the matinee (adult advice is important here, since the child is not yet able to really assess his abilities);
- take an active part in the preparation of props, costumes, decoration of the hall;
- to offer your ideas;
- organize and participate in peer rehearsals.
Family work
In order for the Autumn Festival in kindergarten (the older group), as they say, to succeed, it is necessary to properly organize work with the family of pupils. The home rehearsals of the rooms are not even so important as the direct participation of parents in the life of the child, the provision of assistance to the baby, the correct moral attitude before the performance, and support.
Unfortunately, not all parents understand the importance of such participation. Just think, the Autumn Festival in the older group of kindergarten, nothing special - that’s what the fathers and mothers who are busy with work and everyday problems think. In fact, everything is very serious for the child - because he will perform on stage, he is entrusted with the role. He is afraid of misunderstanding, ignorance, uncertainty.
It happens, there is another situation - excessive custody. Adults can not realize that their baby is already independent enough to show their creativity, to realize ideas. Performing everything instead of the child, parents kill any desire of the baby for independent activity and thinking.
Most adults simply do not think about such issues, thereby making unknowingly serious mistakes in relation to their own child. Therefore, professional help is needed here. The teacher should correctly inform the relatives of the pupils about what the baby expects of them, what is the role of the parents in preparing for the Autumn Festival, what specific tasks exist. Only in this case, the work on organizing the matinee will be pedagogically sound and effective.
