We are small children, we want to walk - kids and older guys are ready to sing along to the heroes of the film "The Adventures of an Electronica". How can an adult organize children's leisure time with maximum benefit and joy for both parties? Run contests!
Necessary
Holiday script and love for children. Everything else is based on the script
Instructions
Step 1
Any event requires a script. The content of the script and contests depends on:
- the age of the participants;
- the number of participants
- the possibilities of the venue - a forest edge or an assembly hall, for example;
- actual holidays - then the event will be thematic;
- duration of the event;
- the possibilities of the organizers themselves;
If you have the beginnings of imagination, you can write the script yourself; moreover, there are templates for "holidays" on the Internet and in special literature. Or you can buy the script if you think professional copywriters will do better.
Step 2
If children of younger preschool age are two to four years old, the program should not exceed 15 minutes in duration - otherwise the children will get tired and stop being involved in the action. Do not expect all participants to understand the tasks and be able to complete them to the end. Therefore, choose contests where just participation is enough. For example, collect balls and put them in a basket. It is not recommended to use loud music, incomprehensible costumes and masks, sudden "surprises".
Step 3
For children of senior preschool and primary school age - five to nine years old, you can already prepare a program for 20-30 minutes. Naturally, the contests will differ in variety - from agile to intelligent. Theatrical connections between contests will only add color and warm up the excitement. Hero-villains will also be appropriate here - children will happily put their strength in contests to fight them.
Step 4
Teens are ready to compete for prizes of 45 minutes or longer. When preparing a holiday for modern teenagers, especially carefully consider the content of the contests - what can interest and captivate them. Don't expect them to get excited about what was popular in your childhood, but there is a chance. However, be prepared for the fact that children of this age tend to argue, take offense and act demonstratively. Be patient and understanding.
