It's interesting, but how is the Maslenitsa festival organized in the kindergarten?

Organization of a holiday in a group

The Shrovetide festival in kindergarten can be organized in a group. To do this, you first need to create an appropriate environment. It will help to create artificial snow lumps, paper snowflakes, samovar, cones, pictures with pancakes and much more.

Organization of a holiday on the street

For children of the older groups, a Shrovetide festival can be organized in the kindergarten right on the street. This situation will create the most realistic celebration. As the main leader should be a woman-winter, dressed in the appropriate suit. She should suddenly appear on the playground, gather in the circle of preschool children and conduct a series of tests.

Winter tells the audience: "Hello, I have riddles for you, guess guys?" Next, the presenter should ask the children a few simple questions. For example, you need to guess:

• What can be white, except for sugar? (snow).
• Who can create a pattern without hands and feet? (frost).
• When does the snow fall? (In winter).
• List the main characters of the New Year holidays? (Father Frost, Snowman, Snow Maiden, etc.).
• Who comes after winter? (Spring).

Children should begin to actively solve such tasks, for each correct answer it is necessary to give the child a certain symbol.

Part two

Then Winter turns to the children: "You guys have done a great job with the test, and now we need a little exercise." After these words it is necessary to conduct a number of games:

1. Children should be divided into two teams, each of which is to hand a broom. On the transport of a woman-yaga, all obstacles must be obeyed. The team that coped with this task first, is the winner, the leader must give them the appropriate symbol.
2. Winter should depict various figures, and children solve them, for each correct answer a symbol is also issued.
3. Another game is jumping in bags. Who was able to overcome the greatest distance, he will receive a symbol.
