Description: Maslenitsa has long been loved in Russia - a cheerful, mischievous holiday. At this time, they said goodbye to winter, burned an effigy of Winter and glorified Spring. This holiday symbolized people's hopes for a fruitful and fruitful year, so Maslenitsa was always very satisfying. At the center of the holiday was Maslenitsa - a figure, a doll made of straw, which was dressed up in a caftan, a hat, put on bast shoes, rode on a sleigh, and sang songs. People referred to her as a long-awaited and dear guest - “honest, broad, cheerful; noblewoman Maslenitsa, Mrs. Maslenitsa."

Purpose of the material: I bring to your attention a scenario for entertaining children of middle preschool age “Maslenitsa”. This material may be useful to educators, additional education teachers, and music directors. Goal: increasing children's cognitive interest in national holidays and traditions of their people. Objectives: to form in children an understanding of the traditions of celebrating Maslenitsa; instill in children an interest in folk games and entertainment; to cultivate in children love and respect for the traditions and customs of the Russian people. Preliminary work: conversation, guessing riddles, memorizing sayings, chants about Maslenitsa, watching the presentation “Hello Maslenitsa”, playing folk games “Rucheyok”, “Lady”, etc. Equipment : easels, whatman paper, felt-tip pens, stand with ribbons, handkerchiefs Characters : children, presenter - Matryoshka, brownie Kuzya. Progress of the entertainment: A Russian folk melody sounds, children (in Russian costumes) enter the hall in pairs, where they are met by Matryoshka and play the folk game “Stream”.

The round dance game “Stream” is an ancient ritual game that symbolized the melting of snow. The sun warmed the earth, the snow melted, and babbling brooks ran everywhere. You need to stand in pairs, hold hands and raise them up to form a stream. To the music, Matryoshka enters the stream and takes a mate. The one who is left alone is the one who drives, choosing whoever he wants. So the stream runs on and on. And along with this running, spring is approaching. (Children after the game stand in a semicircle) Matryoshka:

Hello, hello, have fun and joy! Today we are saying goodbye to winter, serving pancakes, inviting spring to us! Who can say what we call this holiday? Children: Maslenitsa!

Tell your child about Maslenitsa Week

You cannot fully celebrate Maslenitsa with children if you do not explain all the educational facts about the holiday. Remember that explanations should be simple and accessible. You can tell stories in the form of illustrative examples or in the form of riddles and legends.

Monday – Maslenitsa Meeting

The first day from which Maslenitsa begins is very important and responsible. At this time we are preparing for the holiday. You need to start by creating a scarecrow. Together with their parents, children make snow slides, ice forts, and snowmen. They carried the stuffed animal around in a sleigh and showed it to people. This means that the holiday begins. All male generations participate in fist fights. Little boys set the tone, then young boys and finally men. Every housewife's evening ends with her baking beautiful, delicious pancakes.

Tuesday – Flirting

Perhaps the most fun day. At this time, mass sledding and sleigh rides begin. The entertainment will continue until the end of the week. Children, parents, neighbors - everyone had a lot of fun together. Horse teams, sleighs, and sleds were decorated with beautiful bright scraps of fabric according to a preserved tradition. At the end of the evening, everyone visited each other and shared treats. The boys were looking for brides, and the girls went into the yard to meet their lovers.

Wednesday – Lakomka

Wednesday is the day of mother-in-law's work. Married boys and men went to their mothers-in-law. And as you know, the original Russian relationships between these family members are not easy. The wife's mother treated her son-in-law to pancakes. The point is that during the conversation at the table, their relationship improved and everyone tried to celebrate Maslenitsa as loudly and amicably as possible.

Thursday – Revelry

Thursday is called revelry due to the fact that the coming day gives rise to mass celebrations. Many feasts have dozens of guests. The main activity of Thursday is the capture of the fortress. Everyone participates in it: preschoolers, schoolchildren, students, adults. By the middle of the week, the snow kingdom became strong, as it was made in advance on Monday. For this ritual game, everyone is divided into 2 teams. Some defended the load-bearing walls of the fortress, others protected.

Friday - Mother-in-law's party

This is the return day on Wednesday. Mother-in-law and son-in-law change places. There is a tradition that in the morning the son-in-law goes to his beloved mother-in-law with a bow from the waist and invites her to his house for a feast. The mother-in-law gives the son-in-law all the utensils for making pancakes to his daughter’s house, and the father-in-law gives flour and eggs. After this, the son-in-law's house is visited not only by the wife's family, but also by other guests.

Saturday – Gatherings with sister-in-law

This day was considered a time for holding a feast with the sister-in-law (husband's sister). The young wife invited her sister-in-law to visit. If she was unmarried, then her husband’s wife could invite unmarried friends for get-togethers. And if the sister-in-law was already married, then the circle for the evening feast included only family girls.

Sunday – Farewell to Maslenitsa and Forgiveness Sunday

Last day of Maslenitsa. According to the calendar, after it comes Great Lent before Easter. On this day, everyone is waiting for the burning of the effigy, the last songs and dances, as well as entertainment.

Crafts with children for Maslenitsa

It is worth noting that the tradition passed down from generation to generation on Maslenitsa is the creation of crafts. Children love to make various “works of art” with their own hands, and parents will be happy to help them.

Mini stuffed animal

Despite the fact that generations of our ancestors placed a scarecrow on a permanent basis in the center of the settlement or on the outskirts, now it is possible to make a personal copy that everyone will place in their home.

For this craft, you will need old things, stationery, a long stick or other base for the scarecrow. Watch a video tutorial on how to quickly and easily make Maslenitsa Baba with your own hands.

Paper flowers

You can easily make paper flowers to decorate houses, courtyards, streets, and party halls. The passing winter does not welcome living plants, but the passing spring will be happy with this version of the decor. There are plenty of options for creating these crafts; choose something simple from the options below. All you need is paper, scissors and glue.

Pancake applique

What the hell is connected with Maslenitsa? Therefore, organizing a master class for children on crafts in the form of pancakes is a great idea. This will help support Maslenitsa culture and make a lot of colored circles-pancakes to decorate the place of celebration.

What do children need to know about Lent?

To introduce children as closely as possible to Maslenitsa, it is necessary to mention Lent. It doesn't have to be done in a serious way. You can use a fairy tale or another method that does not sound strict and serious.

Start introducing them small: tell about the distant history of Adam and Eve, explain about the Easter holiday, tell about all the preserved traditions. Gradually, you can take your child to church, but do not force him to pray and observe other life-affirming church traditions. At this age, he is unlikely to be able to remember everything.

Speaking about fasting, believers do not limit the consumption of food for children under 12 years of age. Their bodies are developing and require many nutrients daily.
