Interactive lesson "Old New Year". Scenario for celebrating the old New Year for older preschoolers “New Year in reverse Old New Year in dou scenario
The hall is decorated in New Year's style, with a Christmas tree in the center. Enter Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.
Father Frost. Wow, what a crowd of kids!
Snow Maiden. Someone's wearing pants...
Father Frost. And some are wearing skirts.
Snow Maiden. And in dresses too.
Together. You just weren't expecting us, it seems.
Father Frost. Tell me, when does the New Year come?
Some of the guys will answer that on the first of January. Santa Claus takes a watch out of his bag and looks at it thoughtfully.
Father Frost. And today is the thirteenth? Well, they just ran ahead.
Snow Maiden. What now, turn the sleigh around?
Father Frost. No way! We've arrived - so let's celebrate!
Kikimora runs into the hall and Grandma Hedgehog flies in on a broom.
Kikimora(addresses the Snow Maiden and Grandfather Frost). What are you doing here? Today is not your New Year. Have you forgotten that the Old New Year begins on January 14? At this time, all evil spirits celebrate the holiday.
Grandma Ezhka. That's right, he'll come to us soon old New Year. Oh, and we will dance, and sing, and wave our skirts. And you are a grandfather, why did you call yourself Father Frost? He himself is small, like a splinter. Look at Leshy. It's all overgrown with moss, why isn't it Santa Claus? And I'll go to Snegurochki. I am always lucky to have guests during the Old New Year. They eat everything and don’t leave it for me. This time I’ll make them a sandwich, and so they don’t eat it, I’ll stick it to the tablecloth. You guys can come to our holiday too. Then we’ll prepare some nice jellied meat.
Snow Maiden(addresses Santa Claus). Grandpa, listen to what she says. She wants to eat the children.
Father Frost. Grandma Ezhka, if you decided to ruin the holiday for everyone, then it’s better to leave on good terms. Otherwise I’ll freeze you and Kikimora.
Grandma Ezhka. Oh, oh, oh, you can’t even joke. We came to have fun, play and sing songs. After all, this is our holiday.
Father Frost. Okay, Grandma Ezhka, celebrate the New Year, but we won’t leave - we’ll keep order. And make sure that you don’t do anything evil, otherwise (waves the staff) ... Well, Grandma Hedgehog, let’s entertain the guys instead of the Snow Maiden.
Grandma Ezhka. Let's start our evening by standing around the Christmas tree and singing a song about a small Christmas tree.
Everyone gets up in a round dance and sings the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.”
Father Frost. Oh, I'm tired! Give me a chair quickly. While I rest, you will recite poems to me. Who's ready to read poetry?
Grandma Ezhka. Grandfather, what are you doing? Today is not your holiday. Again my memory fails me.
Kikimora. We need to call our Frost and meet him with bread and salt.
Grandma Ezhka. Salt is white poison. It makes my knees creak.
Kikimora. Then with bread and sugar.
Grandma Ezhka. Sugar is also white poison. It makes teeth fall out.
Kikimora(sighs). Yes...
Grandma Ezhka. I came up with an idea. We will chant!
Snow Maiden. What-what-what?
Grandma Ezhka. That is, shout loudly.
Snow Maiden. Why shout?
Grandma Ezhka. Guys, let's all get together. Leshy, come! Leshy, come!
Goblin. What's happening? Hedgehog, why did you scream?
Grandma Ezhka. We are celebrating the Old New Year here. Today I am the Snow Maiden, and you are the most like Father Frost among us. Here's a chair for you (carries a chair). Sit down, the kids will now recite poems to you, and you will give them candy for it.
Leshy. Poems are good. Where can I get candy?
Grandma Ezhka. They are in your pocket. What, did you want to hide?
Goblin(sighs). So be it, we’ll have to hand out candy.
The guys come up to Leshy and recite poems. The goblin takes out a piece of candy from his big pocket and gives it to the storytellers.
Snow Maiden(pointing to the broom in Grandma Hedgehog’s hands). Grandma Ezhka, what is that in your hand?
Grandma Ezhka. I'm the Snow Maiden. This, girly, is my magic wand. Now I’ll wave it, and all the children will have chocolates. (He casts a spell.) Let's see what happened?
Grandma Hedgehog takes out a large spider from his pocket.
Father Frost. This is not a chocolate bar, but a spider!
Grandma Ezhka. I'll fix it now. You guys are all so pretty, so pretty and delicious.
Father Frost. Grandma Ezhka!!!
Grandma Ezhka. Well, I got carried away. All. I won't do it again. Guys, how many of you know why a bear sleeps in winter? I’m already 600 years old, and I still haven’t found out.
Snow Maiden. You didn't come to us for New Year's. So you don’t know. Let's guys dance in a circle and sing the song "Why does the bear sleep in winter."
Everyone gets up in a round dance and sings a song.
Leshy. It's kind of boring here. Let's play better.
Leshy, Kikimora and Grandma Ezhka hold competitions.
Competition "Sharp Shooter"
Players are given a snowball (crumpled up paper). Buckets are placed in front of them at a distance of about a meter. Players must throw the lump into the bucket.
Competition "Baba Yaga"
The indispensable attributes of Baba Yaga are a mortar and a broom. In the competition, a bucket will be used as a mortar, and a mop will be used as a broom. Participants stand in the bucket with one foot, the other remains on the floor. They hold the bucket by the handle with one hand and the mop with the other. In this position, it is necessary to cover the entire distance and as quickly as possible.
Competition "Sleigh"
5 sleds are placed in a circle. There are 6 players involved. The music is turned on. The participants begin to dance around the sled. As soon as the music ends, players must take their places on the sled. Anyone who does not have enough space is eliminated from the game. Some of the sleds are being removed. The competition continues until one player remains - the winner.
Competition "Flight of a Snowflake"
Each player cuts out a snowflake for themselves. Then at the same time they throw up a snowflake and blow on it so that it does not fall. Whoever keeps the snowflake the longest wins.
Game "Witch's Broom"
All players stand in a circle and pass the broom to the music. The one who still has the broom in his hands after the end of the music leaves the circle.
Leshy. Here we are playing, but we don’t notice the Christmas tree. Why aren't the lights on on it?
Kikimora and Grandma Ezhka. They probably need to be turned on.
They start running around the tree and looking for where the lights turn on. But they don't find it.
Grandma Ezhka. I know! You need to conjure.
Grandma Ezhka casts a spell, but nothing works out for her. He spreads his hands.
Leshy. Will we now celebrate the Old New Year without lights?
Father Frost. The lights on the Christmas tree are not simple, but magical, and they light up when the children find out their secret.
Grandma Ezhka. Guys, you celebrated the New Year, lit the lights on the Christmas tree. This means they must know their secret. Please remember.
Father Frost. And Grandma Ezhka began to grow kinder. Knows the magic words. Well, guys, can we help? Let's shout: “One, two, three. Shine Christmas tree!"
Everyone shouts in unison several times. One two Three. Shine Christmas tree!
The lights on the Christmas tree light up. Everyone forms a round dance and sings the song “What Grows on the Christmas Tree?”
Grandma Ezhka. Hooray! The Old New Year has come!
Father Frost. It's a pity, friends, it's time for us to say goodbye.
Leshy. Be happy guys! Until the next Old New Year.
Kikimora. Smiles, fun and joy to you.
Snow Maiden. May all your dreams come true in the New Year!

Progress of the lesson.
IN. What's the date today? That's right, January 14th! What holiday do we celebrate on this day? Of course Old New Year!
Two weeks after the New Year celebration, on the night of January 13-14, a small miracle happens every year - the New Year is knocking on our door again, only under a different name - the Old New Year. After all, it’s wonderful that such a holiday is repeated twice, and we have the opportunity to congratulate everyone who we forgot or didn’t have time to congratulate on December 31, meet with friends and once again turn on the lights of the New Year tree!
IN . Who knows where the custom of decorating a Christmas tree came from?
Children's answers.
IN. The evergreen spruce is the sacred center, the “world tree,” symbolizing life itself. Our ancestors believed that by decorating the New Year tree, they made evil forces good. But in Russia this custom took hold relatively recently: no more than 60-65 years ago. And Zhenya Shvetsov prepared a verse:
Our Christmas tree is big, Our Christmas tree is tall. Taller than dad, taller than mom - Reaches to the ceiling. How her outfit sparkles, How the lanterns burn, Our Christmas tree congratulates all the children on the New Year. We will dance merrily, we will sing songs, so that the Christmas tree will want to come visit us again!
Competition "Who can decorate the Christmas tree the fastest"
IN. There are also 12 symbols of the New Year. Each new year has its own name. What animal symbols do you know?
Children's answers: Year of the rat, year of the pig, etc.
IN : There are many legends dedicated to the origin of the 12 symbols of the Chinese horoscope, the most popular of which is about the Jade Emperor. According to legend, the Jade Emperor sent his servant from heaven to earth to bring 12 of the most beautiful animals from earth. The emperor wanted to reward them. The servant descended to the ground and the first animal he saw was a rat. He gave her an invitation to the emperor at 6 o'clock in the morning, and he gave the same invitations to the bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster and dog. He also wanted to give the invitation to the cat, but he couldn’t find it anywhere, and since he knew that the rat was the cat’s friend, he gave the invitation to her so that she would give it to the cat. The rat conveyed the invitation. Having learned that he needed to appear before the emperor by 6 am, the cat, fearing that he might oversleep, asked the rat to wake him up. The rat agreed, but considering that she could not compare with the cat’s beauty, and that she would look miserable compared to the cat, she decided not to wake him up in the morning. As a result, the cat slept through. And the rat appeared before everyone else and was the first to receive the honor of being one of the representatives of 12 cyclically repeating years. They came for her: a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster and a dog, who were also awarded to become representatives of the zodiac signs. But since the cat did not appear, there were only 11 animals. The Jade Emperor again ordered the servant to appear on earth and bring another animal. The first person the servant met was a pig. He brought her in and she became the 12th animal nominated for the award. The cat, waking up, immediately rushed to the emperor, but it was too late. The cat got very angry and attacked the rat. Since then, the cat and the rat have been at odds. What year is it now?
D . Year of the monkey.
Competitions: “Whoever eats a banana the fastest without hands will get the banana”
The Snowman comes out.
Snowman: We can't be bored on holiday. Do you want to play? Guys, I want to play my favorite game with you! And it's called "Snowball"
We're all rolling a snowball,
We all count to five:
One two three four five,
Sing a song for you, tell you a poem, dance a dance, show you a monkey.
IN. Where did the tradition of celebrating the Old New Year come from?
Children's answers.
IN: There are many customs and traditions associated with the Old New Year. In the ancient Russian calendar, this day was dedicated to Vasily the Great and was called Vasiliev's Day.
On Vasiliev's Day, peasants celebrated the ancient holiday "Avsen" or "Ovsen" - an agricultural holiday associated with the ritual of sowing and appeasing the future harvest.
They scattered grains of bread around the house, saying: “O God, make every one live according to the grain, whatever the grain and the great, and then the whole baptized world would live.”
The mistress of the house collected grains from the floor and stored them until sowing. Often the same ritual was performed with songs and dances.
And in our time, on the night of January 13-14, people dress up and go to the sign and sing carols. Who knows carols?
Children: We sow, we weed, we sow, Happy New Year! Even though it’s an “old” New Year, it still brings good things! We wish in the old fashioned way Fertility for the cattle, A warm booth for the little dog, A saucer of milk for the kitten, A handful of wheat for the cockerel, A red maiden - friend, Little children - mom and dad, Grandmother - little grandchildren! We sow, weed, we sow, Happy New Year! Open the chest, Take out the snout! We sow, we weed, we sow, Happy New Year! Open the chest and give a three. Or a ruble, or a nickel, We won’t leave the house like that!
IN: And I know that you like to solve riddles.

At the end of the holiday, children are treated to sweet cockerels.
Hello! Today is the day to reveal your talents! After all, we are not just parents for our children! We perform many roles, depending on needs and opportunities. We are teachers, cooks, and doctors. And sometimes we have to try ourselves as Father Frost, Snow Maiden, director and even spectator! That's exactly what we'll talk about! We'll try to write old new year script for children. What is required of us is neither more nor less, but a sea of fun and a river of positivity! But there's also something else. This is where I will be happy to help you.
- Plot ideas;
- Music selection;
- Games and competitions;
- Rehearsal.
Each point is a piece of the mosaic. All together and will amount to naughty holiday script, which we will arrange for our little ones.
Ideas for a fun story
We need a story. It would be nice to choose it based on your children. Namely:
- How many are there;
- Age of babies;
- Interests of kids.
How will all this affect the script? And one more important point that is worth clarifying: what if the difference between the children is rather large. After all, what for older children I wonder if it might be completely incomprehensible to kids? Let's go in order!
Let's start with dumplings. Just a joke... Or not? I think kids will love dumplings with surprises that predict the future. Such dumplings are prepared precisely on the eve of the old New Year.
Age. The duration of the program will depend on this. This means what you will have time to show and do, and how to “build” event.
Interests. This is the key point of what to show and tell the kids about, what characters will participate in the program and what fairy tale/story you will take as a basis.
The advantage of having several children, and one of them being older, is that you can let him in on the secret and ask him to choose a story. He will have to adjust it so that game program was diverse and involved all participants.
Of course, responsibility still lies with adults, remember this and do not demand more from toddlers than they can or want to give.
What ideas are always relevant:
- Festival in the forest for animals;
- Fun in a small fairy kingdom;
- A musical evening or one where everyone will be familiar with the sounds old poems and songs;
- Based on your favorite cartoon or book.
It is not necessary to follow exactly the plot of a fairy tale story or your script. If there is a slight glitch, that’s not bad, it means everyone was interested and everyone contributed.
Matching music selection
Don’t forget that from the very beginning, even from the appearance of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, suitable sounds should sound songs. Give this some of your attention. After you decide on the basic concept of your fun surprise for the kids, find and download the music you want to use.
It's good if it goes in several directions. For example, carols, or rather schedrivki (they give generously on the old New Year), then the children will be able to sing along. Or dancing, to give a little warm-up in the middle of the evening; The kids won't get bored and will be able to jump and run around to their heart's content.
Games, riddles and competitions
In the first half of the evening you need to activate the little ones. They will help with this games. There should be several of them and each should last 10-15 minutes, no more.
What could it be:
- Round dances;
- Competitions and guessing riddles from Santa Claus;
- Games. For example, playing snowballs in the yard or playing paper snowballs at home. A great idea with the game “Crocodile”, if you choose a New Year’s theme.
Replace active activities with calmer, but no less interesting ones. This is drawing a portrait of Santa Claus. And also, the kids probably prepared poetry for a holiday and they want to tell them? Great!
Rehearsal
Of course, the event itself is a secret, and no one wants to reveal it ahead of time. But this does not mean that rehearsal is not needed. For example, ask the little one to tell you a poem or sing a song that they prepared for the Snow Maiden. And take care of the costumes and decorations yourself. And let everything be simple, done by you yourself, but the main thing is that you tried, and your apartment will turn into an improvised theater for this time!
Remember what else is needed for everything to work out great? Mood! It is advisable not to play it, but to have it! Then it will be passed on to the little ones. Therefore, try to look at the event that you want to organize for the little ones as a gift for them. Do you like giving gifts? This is exactly the gift your children will receive. And believe me, they will remember and appreciate it. And they will tell all their friends about it. And you will become the best dad and mom for them. And this is the main thing!
I really hope everything works out for you. If you have any questions or suggestions, write! We are all working together to create the best portal for parents and children. And you can actively participate in this if you subscribe to the news and leave your comment. I invite you, your family, friends and acquaintances to visit the site to get ideas and share your thoughts.
And now I say goodbye, but I hope not for long. Bye bye!
Oh yes, as I promised examples of competitions
Competitions for preschoolers
Confusion
The presenter, most likely Santa Claus, announces that now is the time to remember body parts. The essence of the competition is that the presenter names a certain part of the body and touches it; the children must immediately touch the named part of the body. For example, the presenter calls “left hand” and immediately all the children take hold of their left hand. After several correct actions, the leader should try to confuse the children by calling, for example, the right ear and instantly touching the forehead. Children who automatically repeat the mistake after the leader are eliminated from the game. The winner remains the most attentive, dexterous and fastest.
Best gift
For each child, the teacher prepares cardboard boxes (gifts) and identical sets (glue, rain, paper, children's scissors, markers, ribbons, and so on). Each of the children should make a bright and beautiful gift from the box. And so that no one remains in the shadows, everyone receives prizes, only in different categories: the brightest gift, the most interesting gift, the most unusual gift, and so on.
Who is better than Picasso
All children love to draw. For this competition you need to prepare multi-colored pencils, markers or even paints. Two easels or two plain sheets of paper on a table and two blindfolded participants. Before the start, the theme of the drawing is announced, for example, “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.” And each of the participants begins to create. He draws a song on canvas - a Christmas tree, a cowardly bunny, an angry wolf, in general, everything he remembers. The first pair of participants is replaced by the second and so on. By the clapping of the audience you can determine the best drawing, the best artist.
Who can color faster?
Divide the children into teams, give pencils, markers or even paints and printouts - coloring books. The more children, the more complex the drawing. Whichever team paints faster and more accurately will win. Printable coloring pages - click to enlarge.
What does Santa Claus have in his bag?

On the night of January 13-14, Russians celebrate the New Year according to the old style, or as people say, the Old New Year. This holiday is incomprehensible to many foreigners. No one can really say how the celebration of the Old New Year differs from the traditions of celebrating the New Year.
There are two reasons for the appearance of a unique New Year - a change in the date of the beginning of the New Year in Rus' and the stubbornness of the Russian Orthodox Church, which did not want to switch to the New Style.
Let's look at the history of the Old New Year, how it was celebrated at different times in Russia.
New Year in Russia, by decree of Peter I, began to be celebrated on January 1 in 1700, and they began to celebrate the Old New Year in 1918, when Soviet Russia switched from the former Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar adopted in Europe. The tradition of celebrating the Old New Year appeared thanks to believers. Due to the difference between the calendars in Russia, until 1919, Christmas and New Year were celebrated 13 days later than in Europe.
But the Russian Orthodox Church did not obey the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR of 1918 and did not accept the Gregorian calendar. With the official introduction of the new calendar, Christmas, as before celebrated on December 25 according to the old style, “moved” to January 7. And the Orthodox continued to celebrate the New Year as before - six days after Christmas, that is, on the night of January 13-14.
The evening on the eve of the Old New Year (Vasiliev Evening, in honor of the memory of St. Basil the Great) was popularly called generous. On the morning of January 13 (the day of Melania (Melanka)) it was necessary to prepare porridge made from whole wheat grains. It could be seasoned with meat or lard, or topped with honey, sugar, or jam.
In addition, housewives baked pancakes, prepared pies and dumplings with cottage cheese to thank the guests. Pork dishes were considered the most important dish for the Old New Year; by the way, Saint Basil the Great was considered the patron saint of pig farmers. “A pig and a boletus for Vasily’s evening”, “a pig is not a clean animal, but God has nothing unclean - Vasily will sanctify winter!”, say the proverbs about this day. This animal symbolized fertility and well-being. On this day, it was customary to generously set the table: a generous table on this day means prosperity throughout the year.
In the evening, people visited their neighbors to celebrate the New Year in peace and harmony. According to popular beliefs, it was considered important who would be the first guest in the house in the New Year. It was a good sign if the first was a young man from a respected large family with a good household. And on the morning of January 14, young people went to the crossroads to burn “Grandfather” or “Didukha” - sheaves of straw. Young people jumped over the fire, which symbolized cleansing from wickedness.[(c) Source: http://www.nexplorer.ru/news__13401.htm]
As for our days, despite the fact that this day is not a day off, the popularity of the Old New Year is growing. According to the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, the number of people wishing to celebrate the Old New Year has already exceeded 60%.
In the groups of our Kindergarten No. 5 "Alyonushka" we remembered past traditions and customs and celebrated the Old New Year in a big way!
In the morning, the preparatory and senior groups went around the entire kindergarten singing carols, congratulating everyone on the holiday, thereby drawing everyone into an atmosphere of fun and joy..
The children performed the sowing ceremony: they scattered wheat while dancing and singing. The kids especially liked this ritual. The older pupils asked permission from the “owners”: “Can I call the oats?”, and they answered: “Call!” Then all participants performed “autumn” songs. At the end, the “hosts” of the groups presented the performers with sweets.
The musical directors invited the children to the hall to say goodbye to the tree and the Christmas holidays. They were amused by fairy-tale heroes (Solokha, Baba Yaga, Skomorokhs), and held competitions and entertainment. In advance, in groups, the children learned folklore songs, carols, and “oats” (songs during the ritual of sowing (scattering) wheat). Our holiday turned out to be lively, full of joy and magic.
