Zimushka - Winter! Russian soul! She blew snow and brought happiness.
With these lines of praise I would like to begin a dedication to a real beauty - the Russian winter. Without her, there would be no magical New Year, fun snowball fights, fun sledding and skiing. In honor of the Snow Queen, allow me to present my own fairy tales about winter - 2 scenes for children. You can read them to the children at night, act out a family play based on them, or include the stories in a big New Year's performance.
- The first fairy tale tells about the magic that happens on New Year's Eve. Anything happens in the winter forest, you can meet the Snow Maiden or a talking Snowman. Or it may happen that you will find a Golden Cone - a talisman for the fulfillment of your cherished desires.
- In the second tale you will meet Zimushka Winter herself. It turns out she's moping around in her ice house and thinking that people don't like her at all. Only close friends will be able to explain to the snow maiden that she is the most important in the endless cycle of seasons.
Read fairy tales, put on plays, let the kids fall in love with the Russian Winter, just as their grandfathers and great-grandfathers loved it!
Winter's Tale "Golden Cone"
A girl with a large backpack walks across the stage to a cheerful New Year's melody. She hums the song “New Year is coming to us!” from the series New Year's songs. The audience was inspired, they applauded the beautiful song and the cute girl named Varvara.
Behind the scenes there is a loud voice from the guys: Varenka, Varvara, don’t lag behind. You'll get lost again!
Teacher's voice : Class, line up! Our New Year's hike through the winter forest has ended. You will be home soon, but where is Varvara Polyakova?
Varya responds: I’m coming, I’m coming!
The girl hurried and stumbled, almost fell: Oh, the bishop’s stumps, what is it? I almost plowed open a snowdrift with my nose. And in the snow, something sparkled with pure gold (digging). Wow, what a beautiful lump, it sparkles like gold. I’ll take a forest gift with me, let it light up with lights on my Christmas tree. Thank you, Grandfather Frost!
The girl Varvara put the unusual cone in her backpack, bowed to the forest and ran to the guys. Behind the scenes is the sound of a bus and friendly children singing “Christmas tree, Christmas tree, forest scent...”.
A change of scenery. Varya is at home, everything is scattered in the room, the Christmas tree is not decorated. The girl reluctantly takes things apart.
Varya : Oh, the hedgehog is in my side, how can I cope with the cleaning? I would lie on the sofa right now and eat eclairs, I would gobble up the whole box (licks his lips dreamily).
The girl sits down, rakes out her backpack, and finds a gold cone. He strokes her and admires her.
Varya : My little bump, golden, unseen beauty. If you only knew how much I want hot tea and a big box of delicious eclairs.
The golden cone in the girl’s hands lights up, the light goes out. To the sound of a magical melody, an elegant Christmas tree, a table with a teapot and your favorite cakes appear on the stage.
Varenka : That's how it is! It turns out that my bump is not simple, but magical, and it fulfilled my wish. Thank you so much!
The little girl tries the cake and dances with joy to the New Year's song from the cartoon “Once upon a time there was a princess.”
Varya is happy, she chews eclairs and thinks out loud: Boil, boil, pot, to make another wish? Let mom and dad be at home for the holidays, not in a hurry and not talking on the phone. And they’ll just be together at the big festive table.
To the sound of a magical melody, your wish comes true. The parents are at a loss; they are at home.
Mom : Varenka, can you imagine, they let me go on vacation for a whole week (hugs the girl).
Dad : It's a strange coincidence, and I was sent on vacation. They said, for excellent service, you, comrade captain, will receive 10 days of well-deserved leave.
The girl is happy, she hugs her parents, kisses the bump, whispers to her “Thank you!” and hides it in his pocket.
Mom sets the table: Well, since this is the case, the family is assembled! I want to invite an old friend and her daughter to visit us. Varenka, I’ve been wanting to introduce you to Eva for a long time, she’s so smart, a future ballerina.
Varvara nods happily. Mom calls on the phone, a few minutes later guests appear on the doorstep - mother’s friend and daughter.
Mom kisses her friend: Welcome, my dears! Come on in! Here is my beloved daughter Varvara. And this is Eva, meet girls.
The girls hug and smile.
Eva’s mother tells her friend: Can you imagine, we have been preparing for the competition for so long. At the New Year's ball, Eva was supposed to perform the role of the Snow Maiden. And what do you think, we are not tall enough. Just a few centimeters were not enough for Eva to get the main role.
The mothers are upset, and Varvara takes the girl aside and whispers: Don’t be upset! I have a magic cone that makes any wish come true.
Eva : It doesn’t happen, it’s fantasy! It’s just that when you really, really want something, it will definitely come true.
Varvara proudly: Don’t believe me? I'll show you now!
He takes a pine cone out of his pocket and whispers a wish to her. The bump flashes with light, and a minute later Eva’s mother’s phone rings. She receives the good news that the aspiring ballerina was finally hired for the main role, because she is very talented and dances the Snow Maiden better than anyone else.
Eva rejoices, she does not believe her happiness, hugs her friend.
The owner of the cone immediately became proud: I told you so, but you didn’t believe it! Now I, like Santa Claus, will make any wishes come true. Here look!
Varya takes a cone out of her pocket, but it goes out right in her hands.
Varvara is upset: What are these, Christmas tree sticks? My bump went out, probably Santa Claus was offended by me.
The girl is worried, but at this time the doorbell rings. She runs to open it, and the real Santa Claus stands on the threshold and hands Varvara a large box.
The girl is delighted, calling her parents: Mom, Dad, look, Grandfather Frost has come!
The girl turns away for a moment, and the New Year's guest disappears. Varya immediately opens the gift, and there are skis and sports equipment.
Varvara : But no one, no one knew that I had long dreamed of skiing. Mom, Dad, I want to be a famous athlete.
Mom : Look, there is a note in the box - For your kind heart! Happy New Year, Grandfather Frost!
The parents are whispering, they didn’t give their daughter a gift, maybe grandma tried?
And only Varvara knew: It was the real Grandfather Frost!
The audience is delighted, they stand up and applaud the beautiful New Year's tale.
Scenarios of winter tales for the TV series “Winter”
1. Gray Neck (scenario based on the fairy tale by D. Mamin-Sibiryak)
- Please fly away! Gray Neck tries to look cheerful and cheerful. “I’ll survive the winter, everything will work out!” I'm already an adult! You will be proud of me when you return! We will definitely catch up! - But it’s so dangerous here, daughter... - It’s okay! But I will tell you what winter is like!!
After sighing and hugging, the parents and brother and sister fly away, making a difficult decision for themselves to leave Gray Neck alone, and once again telling them to sleep in a warm nest, which they specially equipped, and not to talk to the cunning fox.
A duck swims alone on the lake, and then a bunny appears on the shore. - What are you doing here? After all, all the ducks have flown away long ago? - Bunny, I can’t fly away. The fox bit my wing when I was very little. - Oh, this fox is for me! You beware of it, especially when the river is covered with ice. He'll grab it!!
Winter is coming (change of scenery to a snowy picture, snow made of cotton wool and other improvised materials if desired). The river on the scenery is almost completely covered with ice.
Winter came, and every day the river became more and more covered with ice, until there was only a very small hole left there, where the duck could still swim. And then one day the Fox appeared on the shore - the same one who broke the poor duck’s wing. The fox came straight to the hole and spoke tenderly: “Ah!” Old friend! Hello! Gray Neck gets scared and tries to hide or dive under the water, Fox laughs. - Dive, hide - I’ll eat you anyway. Better come out yourself!
At this time, an old hunter appears. He sees a fox and shoots, but misses. Lesa gets scared and runs away, and the old man, having reached the hole, sees only a small duck there. - Hello grandfather... And the fox ran away... - Eh... The old woman won’t have a collar for her fur coat! Why are you stupid, swimming here? Why didn't you fly away? “I can’t fly, grandpa, a fox broke my wing when I was a child.” That's why I spend the winter here. I was almost able to cope - until the river became too thick and the fox got too close. - Eh... my little one... Let’s do this - I’ll take you to the village, to my granddaughters. And they will be happy, and you will be better off with us. Just look and your wing will heal. If not, you will now spend the winter with us.
The old man takes the duck out of the wormwood and goes with it to the village. The bunny waves her paw after her, still not daring to come close to the hunter. Spring is coming and the ducks are returning. Mom and Dad don’t see the gray neck and start crying. Then a little girl appears, carrying a duck and releasing it into the lake. The duck meets his family, everyone hugs and tells each other how they spent the winter.
2. The missing bunny. Scenario based on the fairy tale by Lev Ustinov.
The scenery is a hare's burrow, a crib for four kids. Three little bunnies are already sleeping in it and one place is empty.
Once upon a time there was a hare and she had four bunnies. Every evening before going to bed, the hare counted the babies. After making sure that they were all in place, she sang them a lullaby. And then she lay down next to them and slept peacefully. And this evening - the hare began to count her bunnies: - One! Two! Three! ...Where is the fourth one?
One bunny is missing! The hare gets scared and runs out of the hole to look for her little hare (the scenery is a winter forest). He runs around all the bushes and trees, looks everywhere he can - there is no bunny.
And the little hare, it turns out, decided to play with the setting sun - laughing, he ran after its rays until he found himself alone in an unfamiliar part of the forest. - Oh... Where am I? Oh... How can I get home now?? The snow recently fell, everything was covered white, I still couldn’t see the forest in the snow... how can I find my way home?
A fox jumps out from behind the bushes. - Yeah!! Gotcha, bunny!
The little hare is afraid and shaking, curled up into a ball. The fox sneaks up to grab him, but then another fox creeps up from the other side. -Where are you going, Lisa? - And there it is, Lisa! Do you see the hare? I want to catch it for dinner. - How do you want to catch him? I'm the one who catches him here! Yes, last winter I stole three chickens and a rooster from the village!! - And I... I... have already stolen two lambs from the village this winter! - So you’re the one who’s good at stealing and catching, and I’m not skilled or what? Yes, I’ll make so many hens and chicks cry! - Just think, chickens! Try chasing the white hare in the snow in winter! I've already caught two. Now there will be a third!
Foxes rush at each other and fight. The little hare jumps up and runs away. At first he just runs, then he stops and realizes that there are his footprints in the snow and begins to run along them. He runs to the mink and there they are looking for him, calling his mother and older brother. Brother sees him first. - Little bunny! Here, here quickly. Mother! Mother! Our missing brother has been found.
A happy hare appears, hugs and kisses the little bunny. - Mommy! Mommy….
Hugging him, the hare takes him to the hole, where she puts him to bed with the rest of the bunnies and sings them a lullaby:
A cricket is singing behind the stove, Calm down, don’t cry, son. It’s a frosty, clear, starry night outside the window. Clear starry night.
All the bunnies fall asleep, and the mother hare is next to them.
3. Scenario based on the fairy tale “Umka” by Yuri Yakovlev.

If you are not lazy, you will have a great den! —Won’t I suffocate? - Don't be afraid! Your breath will make a crack in the snow. Now let's go to sleep. - I do not want to sleep. Why is it dark all the time? When will it be light? - Sleep! When you wake up there will be sun and it will be light.
Umka sighs, tosses and turns for a while and falls asleep. Morning comes and light enters the den. Umka wakes up. - Mother! What is this? - The sun rose.
The bear cub gets out of the den, closes his eyes against the bright sun, then opens his eyes again and sees smoke over the mountains. - What’s there, mom? - People. - Lyuyuudi? - Yes. People are bears who walk on their hind legs all the time and can take off their skin. They still smell like smoke.
Umka tries to stand on his hind legs but nothing works. He says quietly, so that mom doesn’t hear: “Lyuuyuuyudi... You definitely need to look at these strange bears...”
The next day, Umka wakes up before her mother and runs away from the den to look for people. Suddenly he comes across a strange bear cub on two legs, a boy in a fur coat and a hat. He walks around the boy, sniffing him. - Strange... You smell like milk, not smoke... And your skin is good... But where is the tail? And you have two heads... The bear cub touches the boy’s hat.
- This is not a head! This hat!! And here is the head! He lifts his cap to show his head. - Let `s play?
They run, play, slide and have fun. - Now let's swim! With these words, Umka dives into the water, but when he emerges, the boy is still standing on the shore. - No, I don’t swim in such cold water... You can get sick like that! - Mom is right... You are strange bears... Umka crawls back to the shore. - Then let's continue walking!
They go for a walk together.

A partridge flies out from under the snow: “All bears must sleep in winter!” If you don't sleep, you won't grow! - But I can’t sleep! I'm just yawning...
A little badger comes out from behind a tree: “But look how I can!” He leans against a tree and instantly falls asleep.
