The choice of an animator is one of the most important issues when organizing a children's party. After all, it is the presenter who creates a unique mood for your child and his friends. Childhood memories are very important. Therefore, you need to know what to look for when choosing an animator, so that the holiday is a success, and the children are satisfied.
An animator is not just a clown who will entertain your children. This is, in fact, the same toastmaster, only he entertains a non-adult audience. Moreover, the image of such a presenter can be very different: from Aladdin to Winnie the Pooh. The whole entertainment program usually depends on the image.
When choosing an animator, you need to consider the following points:
- The presenter has certain requisites for holding and organizing contests during the holiday;
- The animator must understand child psychology;
- It is desirable that he has a pedagogical education;
- Availability of reviews, portfolio and experience in holding children's parties.
Which animator to choose
Talk to your child first. Who does he want to see at the holiday, what character can make him happy, or who does he want to show his friends. If the child cannot decide, just watch him. What cartoons he loves more, what characters he draws, about whom he tells his friends and acquaintances. Maybe the child has a favorite fairy tale that you read at night.
Next, compile a list of potential animators. It doesn't matter how many there are: 2-3 or 10, the main thing is that you have someone to choose from. After analyzing external factors (price, reviews, portfolio), remove most of it, leaving a couple of options. Make an appointment with them in order to discuss all the conditions.
Organization
Write down all the questions that interest you in advance so as not to forget something important. Feel free to ask or ask for anything, as your child's joy depends on it. Pay special attention to whether the animator can handle the character you want. Also worth noting is his manner of speaking and participation in the preparation of the program.
Experienced presenters already have a set of ready-made action plans in stock. If none of the suggested programs suits you, write your own script. It is very important to write down even the smallest details. Maybe your child wants to hear a specific line or just such a gift. Also discuss the number of children present and souvenirs.
It is best to sign a contract with the animator. There are often cases when they simply did not show up for a holiday and reported a refusal at the very last moment. Agree on a performance date and pay the deposit. Before the holiday, do not forget to call the presenter again and clarify the details. Maybe you missed something.
