Not all children go to kindergarten with pleasure. This causes a lot of inconvenience to some: getting up early, not watching your favorite cartoons, and you need to part with your mother, albeit for a while. But in kindergartens often carry out various entertainment children's activities that are not related to official holidays. For example, autumn day. This increases the interest of children in the kindergarten, first of all. An autumn matinee in the middle group is most often held by educators, but some parents also take an active part.
What a holiday
In order to interest children in going to kindergarten, it is enough to hint that a holiday will be held there. Which one? Autumn Festival. What does it symbolize? Usually this is a kind of meeting of the new season. Autumn matinee in the middle group of kindergarten is accompanied by games, songs, poems. Younger children rarely tell rhymes, because by their age they cannot remember the necessary material. The middle group remembers poems pretty well. Sometimes the teachers, together with their parents, decide to go outside the garden, going out for a walk. Children get an unforgettable experience from this.
What to do on the street
The scenario of the autumn matinee (middle group) is usually developed by educators and music directors of the DOE. However, parents can also take part in this. What to do outdoors in good weather? The matinee scenario for children in the middle group may include the following points:
- collecting leaves for speed;
- sorting foliage by color, size or shape;
- collection of natural material.
But this is only in really good weather so that children do not catch a cold or wet their feet.
Team competition
Autumn matinee in the middle group of DOW should not be just a tea party with goodies and sweets. Not at all. Children love to play, jump, jump, exercise. Therefore, they can be carried away precisely by team games focused on the autumn motive. For example, it could be gathering foliage for speed. It is noteworthy that the game can be played both indoors (you need to cut leaves from cardboard or pick up on the street), and on the street (you need to prepare dry and clean foliage in advance).
How to play
All children are divided into 2,3,4 teams, each of which must collect as many leaves as possible in the allotted time period. The caregiver and the caregiver's assistant should ensure that the children relate their “prey” to their team. Game time should not be too long, 3-5 minutes are enough. And, of course, the prizes must be the same for the winners and the losers so that no one is offended.
Dancing
Not a single autumn matinee in the middle group is complete without dancing and songs. And you need to start the holiday with them. Words are usually learned in advance with the children, and either a round dance or free movement to the music is suitable as a dance. Kids will be much more interested if they have carved from cardboard or real leaves of trees and plants in their hands. The art director selects simple songs with an autumn motif, so that it is easier for children to remember them.
Mistress-Autumn
Not one autumn matinee in the middle group (and in any other) can take place without the mistress of the holiday. The Queen-Autumn may be either a tutor or one of the parents. It is she who plays an important role in entertaining babies. The mistress-Autumn talks with children, asks them simple questions on the topic, gives out small gifts. Of the questions fit:
- What color are the leaves in the autumn?
- When does autumn begin?
- What verses do children know about the time of year?
- How many months does autumn last?
- Why do the leaves fall off?
Funny little animals
The scenario of the autumn matinee (middle group) may include performances of forest animals. This will require costumes. For example, bunnies, chanterelles, wolf, hedgehog, bears. Babies are given roles in advance with small words. Additionally, you can learn dances and songs for each character. The main task of the animals is to entertain the children and attract the most shy and modest to the holiday.
Crafts
So that not only pleasant memories, but also nice souvenirs remain about the matinee, you can start creating crafts from natural materials. It can be animal figures from cones, leaves, twigs and plasticine, and can be applications from cardboard or something else. Carers will have to work hard so that all the kids are satisfied with their masterpieces, but it's worth it.
Tea party
Of course, an autumn matinee cannot pass without tea drinking. Children pour warm tea, sweets are served to it. It's great if it will be homemade cookies in the form of leaves or animals. Cooking can be done by parents. Well, as a fallback, purchased thematic sweets will also work.
Preparation for the holiday
It is necessary to organize an autumn morning party in a kindergarten in advance, otherwise you may just not have time to do everything. Not only educators and garden workers should be involved in this. It's great if parents also take time for such an important event in the lives of their children.
A brief possible scenario
An autumn matinee in the middle group begins with the fact that the children are given leaflets (real or cardboard). Then the artistic director begins to play a song on a musical instrument, and the children go into the hall. All together they sing in a choir, dance (or a round dance, or any other dance). When the music ends, the kids are seated on stools, Autumn enters. She congratulates the children on the holiday, communicates with them, sings, asks to recite poems. After that, you can play an active game, because the kids are not inclined to sit in one place for a long time. Next come the animals that entertain the children. Then you can do creative work. At the end of the holiday, the final song is sung, and in the group the children drink tea with sweets. Enough 40-60 minutes for the entire event, so that the kids are satisfied. It is recommended to hold a matinee until a quiet hour so that the children get a good sleep in the afternoon after such an important event.
