All kids love the holidays. Especially when they turn into an interesting and fascinating fairy tale. So why not arrange something similar for the kids on New Year's Eve? What can be a New Year's children's ball? This will be discussed further.
Visiting a fairy tale
How to organize a New Year's ball? The first idea is to make it look like a fairy tale. To do this, you need to choose one thematic work that the children will like and be recognizable by the guests. And based on this, you need to develop a script. There can be many options here. Theatrical fairy tales "Cinderella", "The Adventures of Santa Claus", "The Snow Queen", etc. are suitable. However, in this case, it must be borne in mind that there will not be so many main characters, while other children will play secondary roles.
Sample script
The scenario of the New Year's ball based on a certain fairy tale should not differ much from the original. That is, if a certain work is chosen, the main idea of the plot should not be lost. For example, when interpreting the fairy tale "Cinderella", the main characters will be Cinderella herself, her sisters, and stepmother. There must also be a fairy aunt, maybe a kind father, and the presence of a handsome prince is obligatory. The rest of the children are assigned the role of mice for the carriage, as well as guests at the ball. If there are many participants and everyone needs roles, you can put on a dance of snowflakes: let Cinderella remove the snow, and not sort out the cereals, etc.
Texts are best to rhyme, so it will be easier for little artists to learn the lyrics, and it will be easier for the audience to perceive what is happening on stage. Dialogues don't have to be long. It is best to bet on dynamic action and musicality. The script must include songs and dances. And the action can end with a beautiful ball, where all the participants of the evening will take part.
The second idea: in a modern way
We must not forget that the New Year's ball is made specifically for children. Toddlers should enjoy what is happening first. Therefore, it is best to take into account all the wishes of the little participants. And for this, you can ask them themselves how they see the New Year's Eve. It is not surprising if the guys choose a modern cartoon as a script. It could be Shrek or Beauty and the Beast. The right approach will provide a very fun and unusual performance.
Shrek scenario example
What could be the scenario of the New Year's masquerade ball based on the cartoon "Shrek"? Very fun and interesting! After all, this is also a fairy tale with a positive ending, when lovers find each other. Active heroes, which must be mandatory: Shrek, Fiona, donkey, dragon, catin Boots. The rest of the characters can be anyone: villagers, a mischievous prince, invented animals that will help the heroes find each other. The script itself should be about the lovers finding each other, overcoming all the problems in their path.
Third idea: favorite cartoon
Why not make a New Year's ball as a projection of the favorite cartoon of many children and adults - "Masha and the Bear"? Here there are a huge number of scenario options, because the plot itself is very diverse and consists of many series. What if we make up our own story? For example, Masha and Misha are lost, and the inhabitants of the forest help them find each other by completing various tasks. At the end, everyone goes to the New Year's meadow with a beautiful Christmas tree. There can also be a lot of actors: Masha, the Bear, a bear, a hare, two wolves, a squirrel, a hedgehog, a pig, a goat, a dog, Masha's sister, a penguin, a panda. Diverse characters and interesting unforgettable costumes - isn't this the best idea for a children's party?
Fourth idea: collection
Christmas ball for children can also be created from many cartoons and fairy tales that children like so much. Mix everything and make a festive mix of classics and modern stories, heroes of domestic and foreign cinema. Let the boys and girls choose the role themselves, and for it the author will write the script for the holiday. And the kids will love it, and the adults will be interested in working.
Examplescript
The scenario of the New Year's ball in this case can be absolutely anything. Invite fairies and princesses, princes, snowflakes, snowmen, gnomes, superheroes, bunnies and squirrels, chanterelles, tangerines and crackers to the Christmas tree. Where without negative heroes: Baba Yaga, the Evil Wizard, may be present. The main faces in the New Year are the Christmas tree and the Snow Queen, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Events can develop as follows: a negative character stole the Christmas tree, and without it, the New Year will not come. And all participants must help Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden find the forest beauty by completing various tasks.
Masquerade Ball
If we are talking about older children, for example, of middle school age, you can make a New Year's ball in the form of a masquerade. In this case, there can also be a huge number of scenario variations. The main thing is not only to put on a beautiful suit, but also to think about a mask.
The script for the New Year's masquerade ball is very easy to write. An excellent example of fantasy is the Soviet comedy Carnival Night. In a similar style, you can come up with a school New Year's Eve: it may not be a theatrical performance, but just an evening with dances, songs, funny numbers and monologues. A mandatory rule is to follow the dress code, that is, dress in an elegant suit and hide your face under a mask. Ideally, if such a holiday is made at the level of not only the class, but the entire school.
Nuances, features
And at the very end, I would like to talk a little about the nuances that, when writing a script,need to be taken into account. First of all, you need to think about the costumes. The outfit can be bought, sewn by yourself or rented. It is also necessary to ensure that all children participate. If someone is on the bench, the holiday will be ruined. It is important to think about the thematic decoration of the hall, to create scenery, even the simplest ones. And, of course, do not forget that the dialogues of child actors need to be diluted with songs and dances. Only in this case the ball will be as rich and interesting as possible.
