For a child, regardless of age, a holiday isan event of astronomical proportions, a spectacle of emotions and moments of pure happiness. After all, children perceive the reality around them more acutely and naively, and any holiday for them is a miracle, long-awaited and amazing. And every loving parent wonders how to arrange a holiday for children, making it unforgettable. Christmas, New Year, birthday - if you think about it and count, then there are not so many truly children's holidays. And we so want there to be as many of them as possible in the life of a little person! So why not arrange a holiday for your child without waiting for the next date? Dilute the series of usual everyday life with something special, for example, organize a Soap Bubble Festival. All you may need is liquid soap, the ability to blow soap bubbles and a good mood. But the sincere joy in the eyes of the child will be a priceless reward. Or on a cloudy day, arrange a celebration of the Day of the Sun. The scenario is simple: hang sheets of Whatman paper on the walls of the apartment and paint them together with your child using paints, pencils, brushes, fingers, and crayons. Let a bright and cheerful sun look at you from every corner of the house! Bake cookies in the shape of little suns together and treat your family members to them. All of these are family holidays, but don’t forget that having fun in the company of friends can bring your child much more joy. Of course, you can organize such a holiday with the help of professionals. But in this way, you will deprive yourself and your child of the lion’s share of the pleasure of the upcoming celebration. After all, when the child takes direct part in preparing for this event, he will have another reason to be proud of himself and his contribution to the life of the family. So give him this opportunity! So, have you decided to cope on your own? Then the first thing you need to start with is to draw up a script for the holiday and write it out point by point.

Idea and design

Here the scenario depends on age and genderyour child. For a boy, theme parties in the style of Wild West cowboys, space or pirate scenarios are suitable. You can act out scenes of a knight's tournament or arrange fun starts. But for girls, a fairy ball, a flower festival, a masquerade ball or a princess ball will be more suitable. And, of course, depending on the idea, the other thematic elements of the party will change. This is where your child's imagination will have room to fly! Do not refuse his ideas under any circumstances. Accept as many of them as possible. Think through every little thing together with him. This will help your child understand that you listen to his opinion, and will contribute to the development of his taste. The chosen room can be decorated with balloons, lights, various crafts corresponding to the theme of the holiday, make inscriptions on posters, draw pictures.

Costumes

If you have clearly defined the topicholiday, then you need to take care of the costumes in advance. Children, regardless of age, love to dress up, try on various interesting images, and get used to them. Fantasize with your child about his new image. Let him draw some detail of the costume, and then help you create it. Try to use every moment of this joint creativity to get closer to your child, teach him something new and, perhaps, learn something new from him. It is not surprising if in the process of composing a costume you better understand your child, his desires and dreams.

Invitations and guest list

The next step is to make a list.guests. Let your child choose who he wants to see at his party. With whom he will be happy, easy and fun to communicate. After all, this is his personal holiday. And then think over the design of the invitations together with him. If, for example, you have decided on a knight's party, then make themed invitations, for example, a postcard in the form of an old tower or a shield with a coat of arms. And an invitation to a masquerade ball can be made in the form of a mask, fan or cracker. By the way, it is better to organize the delivery of invitations in advance. After all, if this is a costume party, then the guests should also prepare for it. Perhaps one of the parents of your guests will want to contribute to the preparations and add interesting details to your script. Do not refuse, fresh ideas will not be superfluous.

Music, games and gifts

The most important and probably the most creativeinteresting games and well-chosen music will be part of the holiday. It is a mistake to think that simple active games will hold the attention of children for a long time. They will get tired sooner than rest and enjoy the holiday. It is very difficult to hold a child's attention for a long time on one thing. Therefore, you need to offer as much entertainment as possible, alternating active games, intellectual and creative tasks. The holiday program should be rich, not tiringly drawn out and appropriate for the age of the children. Make a script and prepare the props in advance so that there are no hitches and sagging in the program you have prepared. Put on a small performance with your own efforts and the efforts of the participating children. This can be a home puppet theater or a mini-performance. You can learn a few simple tricks with your child and give him the opportunity to shine on the home stage. To give children the opportunity to express themselves creatively, invite them to draw, sculpt or cut out paper thematic pictures that correspond to the idea of ​​​​the holiday. And then you can arrange an auction of children's crafts and drawings for parents, thereby involving them in the general fun. Intellectual games can directly reflect the scenario of the holiday. So, at the flower ball, a flower quiz will be appropriate, participating in which children will have to name as many flowers and flowering plants as possible. And at a space party, a quiz about planets, constellations and aircraft will be interesting. At a pirate party, you can arrange a treasure hunt. Hide a chest of sweets in a secluded place and make a map with cheat sheets and riddles on how to get to the goal. And when the treasure is found, everyone who participated in the search will receive their share of sweet "treasures". By the way, it is worth remembering that in the games you choose or come up with, there should be no clear winner. Children react very sharply to any loss. Why spoil the holiday for a child? Therefore, let each child at your party receive some kind of souvenir as a gift. Even the smallest little thing can lift a little person's spirits, light up happy lights in their eyes and become their personal "treasure". And why else would you hold a children's party if not to see the child's sincere joy?

Treat

Well, what holiday can do withouttreats? Especially since games and dancing will undoubtedly “wake up” the child’s appetite. Therefore, take care of the menu in advance. You shouldn’t plan anything grandiose. Interesting sandwiches and unusual canapés, fruit platters, brightly colored cakes and beautifully decorated desserts will please the child much more than a “set lunch” with hot dishes and compote. Although, if you expect the party to last more than five hours, you should still think about the hot dishes. But you can also add a touch of creativity with your child to the festive table. Let him help you come up with names for the dishes or invent an unusual shape and cut out cookies himself, or maybe come up with a new type of sandwiches. The dishes on the table should be bright to attract the attention of children. You can decorate them according to the theme of your party. Canapes in the form of piastres or stars, rolls in the form of space rockets. The list is limited only by your imagination and the imagination of your child.

Photo for memory and the final of the holiday

Every moment of a children's party is filled withsmiles and joy. Your children are changing and you will never see them like this again. To make the holiday not only a memory, it is best to capture it on a photo or video camera. In any holiday, not only its beginning is important, but also its ending. It should be bright and memorable. You can arrange fireworks or launch balloons into the sky and explode firecrackers if the holiday is held outdoors. Or ceremoniously cut the festive cake. You can choose the king and queen of the ball or party, who will hand out awards or prizes to their subjects at the end of the holiday. All this will undoubtedly delight children and the adults accompanying them. Perhaps it will seem to you that coming up with interesting scenarios and organizing a children's party according to them is a difficult and impossible task. Believe me - this is not true at all! After all, every smile and spark of sincere joy in the eyes of a child are worth the effort. And the mutual understanding that you will find in joint creativity will become the greatest reward for loving parents. Therefore, in the series of daily affairs and usual weekdays, give yourself a gift - arrange an unforgettable holiday for children! We recommend reading:
