(go around the tree and leave)

Many children look forward to the New Year more than their birthday. What can parents come up with so that the holiday will be remembered by both crumbs and older children? We have selected for you three of the best New Year's scenarios that are easy to implement by inviting little guests even to a small apartment. It remains to decide: who will be Santa Claus?

Scenario for children 2-4 years old

The children call Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. The Snow Maiden appears.

Snow Maiden. Hello, friends! Did you recognize me?

The children answer.

Snow Maiden. Yes, guys, I'm a Snow Maiden! And I'm very glad to see you! How you grew up, how smart and beautiful you came to the holiday. Do you know where I came from? I came to you from a magical winter forest, on the edge of which my ice house stands, and around it grow green, fluffy ... what, guys?
Children. Fir-trees!
Snow Maiden. Right. Christmas trees in our magical forest grow different, and wide, and thin, and low, and high. Do you want us to turn into Christmas trees from my forest for a few minutes?
Children. Yes!
Snow Maiden. If I say "high" - raise your hands up, "low" - rather squat and lower your hands, "wide" - make the circle wider, "thin" - make the circle narrower.

A game.

Snow Maiden. Well, did you like it? Do you still want to play? Whoever I touch now will “freeze”!

A game.

Oh, guys, you probably didn’t obey your elders, didn’t wear mittens and warm hats on the street. Now we need to disenchant you. Or maybe only ... who, guys?
Children. Father Frost!
Snow Maiden. That's right, Santa Claus. Let's call him!
Children. Father Frost! Father Frost!

Santa Claus comes out.

Father Frost. Hello granddaughter! Hello guys! What happened to you? What happened?
Snow Maiden. Grandpa, the guys and I were playing, and I froze those who dress easily in winter. Help us, unfreeze the guys!
Father Frost. Well, I will help you, but you also promise me to obey your parents in the coming year. Do you promise?
Children. Yes!
Father Frost. Oh, snow, blizzard and blizzard, Help Frost, free the guys! And now, granddaughter, I think it's time to light this wonderful Christmas tree!
Snow Maiden. Wait, grandfather, first the guys and I will play an interesting game:

What we decorate the Christmas tree with, I will name the kids.
Listen carefully, and be sure to answer,
If we tell you right, say "Yes" in response,
Well, if suddenly it’s wrong, boldly say “No”!

Father Frost. Well done guys, I see you know how to decorate a Christmas tree! Well, now let's light the magic lights on it! Does everyone remember the spell? One, two, three, Christmas tree, burn!
Snow Maiden. Friends, what songs about the Christmas tree and the New Year do you know?

They sing "A Christmas tree was born in the forest."

Father Frost. Something I got tired ... I'll sit and rest. And you guys please me with poems and songs. Snow Maiden, granddaughter, give me my bag of gifts!
Snow Maiden (looking for a bag). Where is he, grandfather? I can't find it...
Father Frost. Oh, I'm an old fool! Head with a hole! Lost a bag with long-awaited gifts! What are we to do now?
Snow Maiden. Grandpa, maybe let's try to look for gifts in a magical forest!
Father Frost. Come on, granddaughter!

Game - children run through the "forest" and look for a bag.

Father Frost. There is no bag anywhere... Woe to me, woe...
Snow Maiden. Nothing, grandfather, do not be upset! Maybe New Year himself - a little joker - found a bag and put it under the Christmas tree. (options: hid in the corridor, on the mezzanine, on the balcony)? Guys, let's see!

The children find the bag.

Father Frost. Thank you, New Year, rescued me! Now I can give gifts to all the guys!
Snow Maiden. Friends, who wants to read poems to Grandfather Frost, sing songs?

Children read poetry, sing, receive gifts.

Father Frost. And now it's time for us, other children are waiting for us.
Snow Maiden. Yes, it's time for us to leave. Happy New Year guys! Obey your elders and grow up healthy!
Father Frost. Goodbye!

Scenario for children 4-6 years old.

The children are sitting in the room, Santa Claus comes in.

Father Frost. Hello my dear,
Both small and big!
Happy New Year,
I wish you happiness, joy.
Look: the tree is amazing!
And everything around is so beautiful!

Children and Santa Claus are looking at the Christmas tree.

Father Frost. Guys, it's time to light the lights on the Christmas tree, but there is no Snow Maiden. We must call her!

Children. Snow Maiden! Snow Maiden!

The Snow Maiden comes out. Everyone greets.

Snow Maiden. Children, I'm glad to see you! Look what a beautiful outfit I have - I chose it especially for you. See what beautiful frosty patterns.

The children are looking at the dress.

Snow Maiden. Now let's go light the lights on the Christmas tree! Come on, in unison: one, two, three, burn the Christmas tree! (Lights go on.)
Father Frost. At such a beautiful Christmas tree you want to dance.

Any New Year's song sounds, the main thing is that it is already familiar to the kids, and they are happy to jump and dance to it. Santa Claus praises them.

Father Frost. You dance well, but can you solve riddles?

clubfoot,
Sleeps in a den for the winter.
Guess answer
Who is this? (bear)

On the branch - not a bird,
And the beast is small
The coat is warm, like a heating pad.
Who is this? (squirrel)

fluff ball,
long ear,
Jumping smartly
Loves carrots.
Come on, guess
Who is this? (bunny)

cunning cheat,
red head,
Fluffy tail - beauty!
Who is this? (fox)

Santa Claus praises smart children and asks to read poetry, and then offers to play hide and seek. The children, led by the Snow Maiden, are hiding, and Santa Claus is looking for them. Finally, he finds everyone except the Snow Maiden ( at this time she quietly leaves the room and prepares a sled with gifts).

Father Frost. Where is my granddaughter? (Jingle bells are heard outside the door.) I know this is the Snow Maiden with gifts. I'm going to help her!

He comes to the door, helps to drag in the sled, in which there is a bag with gifts and distributes them to the children.

Scenario for children 4-7 years old.

Leading. Here comes the New Year!
It's snowing outside the window!
People celebrate this holiday
And buy gifts!
We are with you today
Let's make our own gifts!
We will sing, we will dance,
Let's decorate the tree!
So let the New Year come
After all, people are waiting for him!

The host calls all the children to the center of the room.

What is New Year?
This is a friendly dance!
Children hold hands
Around the Christmas tree and curl,
Chasing away the evil blizzard
Dispelling sadness and boredom
Inviting jokes, laughter,
Round dance is now for everyone!

Children dance around the Christmas tree, singing the song “It’s cold for a small Christmas tree in winter”, “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, “A smart Christmas tree - a lot of lights” and other songs learned in advance.

Leading. Round dance - well, just lovely!
Do you hear the rustle of needles?
This Christmas tree is tired
She told us all to rest!
Come on, kids, let's sit in a circle,
And let's take a look around!
Our Christmas tree is shining
Why is she sad?
She doesn't have enough toys.
And she knows about it!
We will help her now -
We have an idea too!
Guys, let's make toys for the Christmas tree! I have simple white balloons, let's decorate them and dress up our Green Beauty!

You will need simple white plastic balls, paint and glitter to decorate toys. The presenter herself shows what can be drawn on the ball, and then invites the guys to try their hand at drawing.

Leading. Our holiday is already underway!
Happy New Year everyone!
I need to congratulate my mother -
And read her poetry!

The children recite the verses they have learned in advance. For example:

Mom, Happy New Year!
Let dreams come true!
And let the worries go
Be happy you!

Happy New Year, dear mother!
I congratulate you now
I love you and wish -
Be happy at this hour!

The clock will strike and the New Year
Envelop everyone with a new fairy tale!
Live you, mom, without hassle
Give me, as before, affection!

Leading. Guys, let's make a gift for moms. All mothers love flowers, but it's cold outside, and we can't find fresh flowers either in the forest or in the garden. Let's catch snow-white snowflakes and make a luxurious bouquet out of them!

You should prepare sheets of clean white paper, cardboard, scissors, glue and a beautiful tape in advance. Snowflakes are cut out of paper, each child can independently come up with the shape, size and pattern of a snowflake. Then stems are cut out of cardboard, on which snowflakes are glued. The bouquet is decorated with a ribbon.

Leading. Here are the dads at this hour
Come support us all!
Read them poems
And congratulations from the bottom of our hearts!

The guys again go to the center of the hall and read poems to dads.

Let this night break into us
Giving all people a bright light!
Let daddy touch you
Happiness for decades!

Be, dad, you are the happiest
Live without problems and worries!
Be papa, be patient
And celebrate the New Year with me!

May wishes come true
Let your eyes shine with light
You, dad, believe in your dreams,
Pamper me more often!

Leading. Guys, let's make a gift for dad! What do our dads love the most? That's right, eat! Today we are making a real edible snowman for them!

Small biscuits such as "fish", "curly cracker" and condensed milk are purchased in advance. Cookies are mixed with condensed milk so that the mass is solid. Three balls are molded from the mass and a snowman is obtained.

Leading. A blizzard howls outside the window,
Snow knocks on every house.
Who warms us in winter
And surrounded by love?
It's grandma and grandpa!
There are simply no better ones!
Children, let's make a gift for our beloved grandparents! Let the winter fairy tale come to their house!

Prepare rice or semolina, colored paper, cardboard and glue in advance. Children smear the lower part of a sheet of cardboard with glue. Then a snowdrift is laid out with grits. Christmas trees are cut out of colored paper and glued onto cardboard in the place where the horizon line turned out to be a snowdrift - the sky.

Leading. Something we all sat up,
Well! The snowflakes have scattered!
We give to grandparents
We are gifts in the form of snow.
You accept our dance
Meet the New Year soon!

The guys dance the dance "Snowflakes" - they spin, run around the Christmas tree, bounce. Then they run up to grandparents and give them a newly made postcard "Winter's Tale".

Leading. This evening has come to an end
But not on this say goodbye now!
We give everyone a gift to face
A smile would stick right away!

Children are given Christmas gifts.

FATHER FROST:

FATHER FROST:

Guys, I'm an old grandfather, I'm already five thousand years old!

In January and February I walk the earth,

I won’t freeze anyone, I won’t catch anyone!

Now give me the answer - who is not with me on the Christmas tree?

(children answer: Snow Maiden)

FATHER FROST:

SNOW MAIDEN:

Now let's play with you!

1. THE GAME "WIND THE RIBBON"

To play, you need 2 round sticks 25-30cm long and a string 4-5m long, to the middle of which tie a ribbon tied with a bow. Tie the ends of the twine to the middle of the sticks that 2 players take in their hands. They go to opposite ends of the room (corridor) so that the string is stretched. On a signal, the players, rotating the sticks away from themselves, try to wind the twine around it as quickly as possible. In doing so, they move forward. Whoever winds his half faster and reaches the ribbon first wins.

Then a new pair enters the game or a new player meets the winner of the first duel.

To play, instead of sticks, you can take 2 ordinary pencils, tying an ordinary thread to them with a label attached to the middle. Since the pencils are thin, a special load falls on the fingers.

2. PUZZLE GAME

Santa Claus: Someone from the forest will come to our house for the New Year,

All fluffy, in needles, but that guest is called ... (Christmas tree)

SNOW MAIDEN: Everyone is afraid of him in winter - he can bite painfully.

Hide your ears, cheeks, nose, because on the street ... (Frost)

FATHER FROST: It is snowing, streets and houses are hidden under white cotton wool.

All the guys are happy with the snow - it came to us again ... (Winter)

SNOW MAIDEN: According to the account, he goes first, the New Year will begin with him.

Open the calendar soon, read! Written… (January)

Santa Claus: He comes on a winter evening to light candles on the Christmas tree.

He starts a round dance - this is a holiday ... (New Year)

3. GAME "SNOW"

We will need a long rope or ribbon and cotton balls - they will be snowballs. Children are divided into 2 teams - the team of Santa Claus and the team of the Snow Maiden. In the middle of the hall we lay a rope or ribbon on the floor, dividing the room in half. Within 1 minute, we throw snowballs to the side of the enemy. In whose half after the allotted minute there will be fewer snowballs, he won.

4. GAME "YES-NO"

Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden take turns asking questions, and the children answer “yes” or “no”

SNOW MAIDEN: Is Santa Claus known to everyone?

Santa Claus: I come at exactly seven?

SNOW MAIDEN: Is Santa Claus a good old man?

Santa Claus: Do I wear a hat and galoshes?

SNOW MAIDEN: Did Santa Claus come to you too?

Ded Moroz: Did I bring the Snow Maiden?

SNOW MAIDEN: What grows on a Christmas tree - cones?

Santa Claus: Tomatoes and gingerbread?

SNOW MAIDEN: Is the view beautiful near our Christmas tree?

FATHER FROST: Are there red berries everywhere?

SNOW MAIDEN: Is Santa Claus afraid of the cold?

Santa Claus: Did I freeze all the puddles?

5. GAME "THE MIGHTY HURRICANE"

(attention game - we played with parents too)

Everyone is divided into two teams - Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden. Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden take turns saying the phrases: "A mighty hurricane caught everyone ..." and then we say some phrase, if this applies to the players, then they run across to the other side. The funniest thing here is that there can also be joke commands to test attention: “A mighty hurricane picked up everyone who loves to eat frogs”, “A mighty hurricane picked up everyone who doesn’t wash”, etc. Children who play too much jump up without listening to the end teams, and get into a ridiculous position.

For example:

A mighty hurricane picked up all ... girls

A mighty hurricane took all the... boys

A mighty hurricane caught everyone ... who does not wash

A mighty hurricane picked up all ... adults

A mighty hurricane picked up all ... kids

A mighty hurricane picked up everyone ... who beats dogs

A mighty hurricane caught everyone ... who obeys their parents

A mighty hurricane picked up everyone ... who is in a dress

A mighty hurricane has caught everyone ... who loves ice cream

A mighty hurricane caught everyone ... who eats snow

A mighty hurricane has caught everyone ... who loves cats

SNOW MAIDEN:

Well, you did a great job with all our tasks and deserved delicious sweets.

(The Snow Maiden looks for sweets in a bag, turns upset to Santa Claus)

SNOW MAIDEN:

Grandpa, we forgot the sweets!

SANTA CLAUS:

Oh oh oh! Well, don’t be upset, granddaughter, I’ll cook the sweets myself - delicious, magical! Come on, get our magic cauldron!

COOKING MAGIC CANDIES

We need a magic cauldron - we paste over an ordinary plastic bucket with something shiny, decorate it beautifully with tinsel, paste the inscription "magic cauldron", and we also need ingredients: 2 small bags with foam inside and the inscriptions "salt" and "sugar", some transparent pebbles - this will be ice, cotton balls - this is snow, tinsel, a postcard in the form of a snowflake or a ready-made snowflake. We need to make a double bottom at the boiler, put real sweets down, close it with the second bottom, on which we will lay the ingredients.

FATHER FROST (adding ingredients):

Salt, sugar, ice cubes,

A little snow, tinsel,

I’ll add a snowflake, one minute, friends.

We need to mix all this, say magic words

(Santa Frost stirs with a staff, and the Snow Maiden turns over the second bottom, putting sweets on top)

TOGETHER WITH THE SNOW MAIDEN:

Snow, snow, snow

Ice, ice, ice

Miracles for the New Year

Staff, staff, mix everything

And turn it into candy!

SNOW MAIDEN:

Oh, well, Grandpa, well, the magician, and indeed the sweets turned out!

(shows that there are already sweets in the cauldron and treats the kids)

SNOW MAIDEN:

And now let's all make a wish and tie our magic ribbons on your beautiful Christmas tree, then your wishes will come true!

(The Snow Maiden distributes multi-colored ribbons, which everyone takes turns tying on a Christmas tree y)

SNOW MAIDEN:

And now it's time for what, Grandpa?

FATHER FROST:

Why, granddaughter?

SNOW MAIDEN:

Well, what for?

(referring to the guys)

SNOW MAIDEN:

Tell me, did Santa Claus play with us?

(children answer: played!)

SNOW MAIDEN:

Did you dance near the Christmas tree?

(children answer: danced!)

SNOW MAIDEN:

Did he make the kids laugh?

(children answer: made me laugh!)

SNOW MAIDEN:

What else did he forget?

(children answer: gifts!)

SNOW MAIDEN:

Where is your bag, Grandpa?

FATHER FROST:

Eh, I'm old, head with a hole! I forgot where I left my bag! Well, nothing, I have a magic ball that will lead us to gifts. You just need to say the magic words together:

FATHER FROST, SNOW MAIDEN AND CHILDREN:

A magical ball of wonderful yarn,

Roll down the path you only know

Run quickly, find gifts,

Bring us to the bag Santa Claus!

(after that, Grandfather puts the ball on the floor and hits it with a staff, rolls it around the room so that at the end it ends up at the front door. He finds a bag, carries it into the room)

FATHER FROST:

Thank you, ball!

Well, now tell us poems!

(children tell poems, after which Santa Claus gives gifts)

SNOW MAIDEN:

Today, the good Santa Claus brought you a bag of joy,

Another bag of laughter, and the third one with success!

(for this we need 3 bags with the inscriptions "joy", "laughter", "success". In the bag with "laughter" we put a toy that laughs, when we opened this bag, clicked on the toy, and the bag began to laugh, for children this I like it very much. In each bag, put cotton balls of different colors, one color - in one bag, another - in the second, third color - in the third bag. Santa Claus sprinkles the kids, you can adults with these balls, so that in the new year everyone will be accompanied by laughter , success and joy)

Ded Moroz and the Snow Maiden say goodbye and leave

New Year is a holiday all over the world, it is celebrated everywhere on the night of December 31 to January 1. In every country, grandiose celebrations are planned on this day, people gather and celebrate the holiday. On this day, the main character of many fairy tales and beliefs of the population appears on the main square of the country or city - a grandfather with a long gray beard and a fur coat to the floor! But few people know the real name of Santa Claus, and there are reasons for this.

  • This is a fairy-tale character with magical powers;
  • No one has exact data on its origin;
  • Each nation has its own beliefs about the appearance, name and features of this character.

In Russia, and among the Slavs in principle, Santa Claus was initially far from being a kind and sweet "grandfather". This character personified anger and severity, because. represented the face of the strongest frosts on the Russian land. Over time, the evil grandfather became kinder to the people, and now it’s hard for us to imagine the real Santa Claus without a kind smile, love for children and a big bag of gifts! At the same time, one should not confuse the Slavic Santa Claus with similar characters from other countries. For example, the main transport of a fairy-tale character is a healthy trio of horses harnessed to beautiful sledges. And the name of the real Santa Claus in Russia is definitely different from similar heroes in other countries.

Father Frost's main assistant is his granddaughter Snegurochka. According to some sources, there is a theory that this is not a granddaughter at all - but the daughter of Frost, however, in all fairy tales and performances, Santa Claus calls the Snow Maiden only a granddaughter. The Snow Maiden appeared, according to one of the legends, in the family of an elderly couple who dreamed of a daughter and children all their lives. They became so sad from loneliness that they made a snowman in the winter, more like a girl. So one day a beautiful and young girl comes to the old people in the hut, and introduces herself as their daughter. At first, the elderly couple did not believe their happiness, and then they realized that this was a New Year's miracle! There are other options for the appearance of the Snow Maiden, but they all boil down to the fact that in spring the girl melts from the snow and ascends to the sky and the sun.

Such different names for one grandfather

It is difficult to give one common name for a fairy-tale character familiar to us, each nationality has its own representative of the winter holiday with its own name. Let's take a look at the name of Santa Claus in various countries of the world! Some are looking for the real name of the person who is "hiding" under the suit of a gray-haired old man, others are simply interested in knowing how a similar magician is called in other countries.

  1. Russia. This is our great and beloved country, where Santa Claus is a dear and kind character in every house. We like to replace the prefix "Grandfather" with the diminutive "grandfather" or simply "grandfather". In fairy tales, the name "Morozko" is often found, which can be combined with "grandfather". Very often, a Russian person, remembering a wizard with a staff, says: “Santa Claus is a red nose!”.
  2. Belarus. Here, the usual grandfather is called Dzed Maroz. Often the name is shortened to the short and familiar name of Zyuzya.
  3. Uzbekistan. Ayoz Bobo and Korbobo, which in translation means Santa Claus and Snow Santa, respectively.
  4. Armenia. Here grandfather is most often called Dzmer Papi, which translates as Grandfather Winter! There are also such names as Kaghand Papi and Dzyunanushik, although the latter is translated as Snow Maiden.
  5. Azerbaijan. Translated into Russian, there is no difference with our grandfather, but in a foreign language he sounds like “Mine Baba” with accents on the last syllables. Features are that the character is always in blue.
  6. Moldova. Just like in Russia.
  7. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Literally, the name of the grandfather is translated as Santa Claus, but it sounds like this: Ayaz Ata.
  8. Tajikistan. Difficult to pronounce name - Boboi Barfi.
  9. Bulgaria. Grandpa has very cute names here - Dyado Mraz, as well as Dyado Koleda.
  10. Germany and Ukraine. The names of Santa Claus are similar here - Nikolaus and St. Nicholas.
  11. In the UK, a grandfather's name is Father Christmas. But in the US and parts of Canada, it's Santa Claus.
  12. France has two characters at once! They call their first grandfather Per Noel. This character is also called part of Canada. But the second - Per Fuetar - is a character who deals with bad and naughty children.
  13. Greece. Here Santa Claus is St. Basil, who is called Agios Vasilis.
  14. India. It is impossible not to note this state, here is the most unusual character of the New Year! This goddess (woman) is Lakshmi.

Now you know the name of Santa Claus in various countries of the world!

The appearance of Santa Claus and his place of residence

Despite our love for the celebration of the New Year, Santa Claus did not always exist, but was a separate character not connected in any way with the transition from the old year to the new one. Frost was the embodiment of severe cold on earth. Indeed, from the strongest colds it was possible to freeze and die on the street. But it was decided to change the origin of such a character and it was necessary to start with appeasing the "evil old man". So on New Year's Eve, the owner of the family took a pot of kutya outside and threw a good spoonful of porridge into the yard, pronouncing special words - a conspiracy to mitigate the cold.

The character familiar to us with the young granddaughter Snegurochka appeared much later - already in Soviet times. There was already such a character in the USA, and the Soviet population did not want to lag behind, so it was decided to come up with their own New Year's wizard. At that time, the ban on the New Year tree was just lifted, it was no longer considered something indecently expensive and superfluous. However, some philologists claim that the image of Santa Claus was nevertheless invented in Russia much earlier, just ideas and characters did not take root at that time (for example, St. Nicholas).

It is clear that every child wants to know where Santa Claus lives. As a rule, parents give a simple answer without even thinking about it - at the North Pole. It is believed that Santa Claus is contraindicated in heat and summer, because it is important for him to live in a cold and snowy environment. In fact, you are close to the truth! But Russia is so big that we have several national grandfathers in different regions of the country at once. Therefore, to visit the House of Santa Claus, you can choose any of his residences:

  • in Veliky Ustyug,
  • in Arkhangelsk,
  • on Chunozero in the Murmansk region.

However, the most famous is the Veliky Ustyug residence. Here you can spend a vacation with the whole family at any time of the year near your favorite magical character. However, the main correspondence goes to Lapland - to the Chunozero estate of the reserve. But the Arkhangelsk residence of Father Frost was the very first officially recognized fairy tale village, but it never became popular.

Appearance and attire of Santa Claus

So that from an early age children do not confuse Russian Santa Claus with other characters, it is worth telling them from an early age how. As a rule, the domestic grandfather is confused with Santa Claus. There are several reasons for this - Santa often appears in Christmas films that we love so much, and many New Year's costumes in our country are imported, so adults often buy Santa Claus costumes instead of Santa Claus costume, but call themselves Morozko. Hence the confusion, but what do these characters look like in different states of the world?

  1. In Russia, this is a tall grandfather with a long gray beard. Morozko is dressed in a long red fur coat (can be blue, blue or white), a hat, felt boots. He has a bag with gifts and a beautiful staff.
  2. In the USA, this is a fat man. He is dressed in a red suit with a white fur trim and a black belt, a hat-cap, black boots. Gift bag included.
  3. The Muslim character is aged. He is dressed in a green robe with red embroidery, a red cap. Be sure to have a long green scarf.
  4. In France, both characters are aged. Per Noel is kind and carries with him a basket with gifts for obedient children, and Per Fuetard is angry and dressed in a traveling cloak with a fur hat, he carries with him a basket with rods.
  5. In Mongolia, Santa Claus is easily confused with a shepherd. He is dressed in a fluffy warm fur coat, a fox hat. Of the mandatory attributes, he must have a whip, snuffbox, flint and flint.
  6. In the north of Spain in the Basque Country, a grandfather may not be a grandfather at all, but a man of any age! Of the clothes, he must wear a national homespun outfit. He always has a small flask of Spanish wine with him.

It is also worth noting the difference between Santa Claus and Santa Claus:

  • Frost - old man, grandfather; Santa is a middle-aged man;
  • We have a tall, strong and fit character; Americans are fat and short;
  • Grandfather is strict and fair: they have a joker and a merry fellow;
  • Santa Claus's beard is long and thick; Santa cuts his beard;
  • Morozko's clothes are a long fur coat / sheepskin coat to the floor, linen pants and a shirt, a boyar hat, beautiful mittens; Santa's clothes - a red sheepskin coat, red pants / wide breeches tucked into boots, a cap with a pompom, a black belt with a large buckle, thin tight gloves;
  • Frost's shoes are classic felt boots; Santa's shoes - black leather boots, often high;
  • Accessories of a domestic character - a long staff of silver color; Santa has glasses;
  • Transport at the grandfather from Russia - a trio of horses with a sleigh; Santa has reindeer with a sleigh that moves not on the ground, but in the sky;
  • Father Frost's assistant is his granddaughter Snegurochka; Santa also has many helpers in the form of elves and gnomes.

The children call Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. The Snow Maiden appears.

Snow Maiden: Hello, friends! Did you recognize me?
Children: ...
Snow Maiden: That's right, I'm a Snow Maiden. And I'm very glad to see you! How you grew up, how smart and beautiful you came to the holiday. Do you know where I came from?
Children: ...
Snow Maiden: I came to you from a magical winter forest, on the edge of which my ice house stands, and around it grow green, fluffy ... what, guys?
Children: ...trees.
Snow Maiden: Right. Christmas trees in our magical forest grow different, and wide, and thin, and low, and high. Do you want us to turn into Christmas trees from my forest for a few minutes?
Children : ...
Snow Maiden: Now, if I say "high" - raise your hands up,
"low" - rather squat and lower your hands,
"wide" - make the circle wider,
"thin" - make the circle narrower. (A game)
Snow Maiden: Well, did you like it? Do you still want to play? (The game "hide your hands from the Snow Maiden", the Snow Maiden "freezes" several children) ("frozen") - Oh, guys, you probably didn’t obey your elders, didn’t wear mittens and warm hats on the street. Now we need to disenchant you. Or maybe only ... who, guys?
Children: ...
Snow Maiden: That's right, Santa Claus. Let's call him!

The children are called Santa Claus.

Father Frost: Hello granddaughter! Hello guys! What happened to you? What happened?
Snow Maiden: Grandpa, the guys and I were playing, and I froze those who dress easily in winter. Help us, unfreeze the guys!
Father Frost : Well, I will help you, but you promise me to obey your parents and educators in the coming year. Do you promise?
Children: ...
Father Frost : Oh, snow, blizzard and blizzard, Help Frost, free the guys! And now, granddaughter, I think it's time to light this wonderful Christmas tree!
Snow Maiden: Wait, grandfather, first the guys and I will play an interesting game:
What we decorate the Christmas tree with, I will name the kids.
Listen carefully, and be sure to answer,
If we tell you right, say "Yes" in response,
Well, if suddenly it's wrong, feel free to say "No"! (play)
Father Frost: Well done guys, I see you know how to decorate a Christmas tree! Well, now let's light the magic lights on it! Does everyone remember the spell? (One-two-three, Christmas tree burn!)
Snow Maiden: Friends, what songs about the Christmas tree and the New Year do you know?

Sing "A Christmas tree was born in the forest"

Father Frost: Something I got tired ... I'll sit down and rest. And you guys please me with poems and songs, I love listening to children so much! Snow Maiden, granddaughter, give me my bag of gifts!
Snow Maiden (looking for a bag): Where is he, grandfather? Can't find it...
Father Frost: Oh, I'm an old fool! Head with a hole! Lost a bag with long-awaited gifts! What are we to do now?
Snow Maiden: Grandpa, maybe let's try to look for gifts in a magical forest!
Father Frost: Come on, granddaughter!

The game "jumping through the magic forest"

Father Frost: There is no bag anywhere... Woe to me, woe...
Snow Maiden : Nothing, grandfather, don't be upset! Guys, let's look into the deer's house, he often walks through the forest, maybe he saw the gifts?
Father Frost: Or we will meet other animals at the deer, maybe they found my bag ...
("The deer has a big house"
The deer has a big house,
He looks out his window
Bunny runs through the forest
Knocking at his house:
Knock, knock, open the door
There is an evil hunter in the forest,
Bunny, bunny, run
Give me a paw!)
Father Frost : No, the deer, I see, does not have a bag ...
Snow Maiden : And the bunny didn’t find it ... Grandpa, or maybe the New Year itself found your bag and put it under the Christmas tree? Guys, let's see!

Find a bag

Father Frost: Thank you, New Year, rescued me! Thanks tree! Now I can give all the guys!
Snow Maiden: Friends, who wants to read poems to Grandfather Frost, sing songs? ..

Reading, singing, perhaps a costume contest

Father Frost: And now it's time for us, other children are waiting for us ...
Snow Maiden: Yes, it's time for us to leave. Happy New Year guys! Obey your elders and grow up healthy!
Father Frost : Goodbye!
