The importance of puppet shows in the life of children

It is very important to take children to the theater, because it has great educational value. But many kids are afraid of fairy-tale heroes, when they are played by actors-people on stage. At the same time, they are not afraid of puppet actors, since they are small and similar to the toys that kids like to play. Therefore, the best option will be puppet shows for children. The script should correspond to the age of viewers in order to be understood by them.

Performances with the participation of dolls give the children a good mood and many impressions, develop their abilities, educate their emotionality. Children see the relationship between the characters who show them what they need and do not need to be. Characters are examples of kindness, love for loved ones and for the Motherland, true friendship, diligence, desire to fulfill dreams ...

Puppet plays for children are very instructive. Scenario performance in the performance of dolls is close to the child. Children are delighted when they see puppet shows. In their eyes, magic happens - the dolls come alive, move, dance, talk, cry and laugh, turn into something or into someone.

Advice

To write a good, interesting script for children's puppet shows, you need to know for which audience it will be shown: for ordinary children or for a particular viewer, where not everything can be shown. In some cases, it may be necessary to demonstrate something concrete.

When the topic of the script is determined, you need to select the main character (he must be positive) and his antagonist, that is, a negative character, which will create difficulties for him. The appearance of the dolls must match their characters.

When the characters are defined, you need to think over the plot: what will happen to the characters and where. Puppet show should be instructive and at the same time it is desirable to have humorous details in it. It's better if the dialogs are not too long. There must be more action in the play than in the text. Long dialogues will be tiring for small viewers. The most important thing is to write a script that is interesting and understandable.

Scene Selection

This must be puzzled in the first place. Choose a story, according to which the script of the puppet show will be written, it is necessary, based on the age of the children who will watch it. Kids, for example, 3 years will be difficult to perceive what is intended for children of 8 years.

Puppet show for preschoolers will be interesting and understandable if his script is written on one of such fairy tales as "Kolobok", "Repka", "Teremok", "Ryoka Chicken", "Three Bears" and so on. These subjects are familiar to kids since their earliest childhood. Puppet performances for children of primary school age are more appropriate for such tales as "The Little Humpbacked Horse", "The Adventures of Pinocchio", "Ali Baba and 40 Thieves", "Winnie the Pooh", "Cinderella", "Thumbelina", "Cat In boots "," Mowgli "," Gulliver's Travels "," Blue Bird "and others. Scenarios for these works are ideal for spectators from 6 to 12 years. Puppet performances for children should be bright, memorable, so that in small viewers they cause as much positive emotions and leave a lot of impressions.

Scenario composition

Performances of the puppet theater (as well as of any other) are built according to the scheme:

• The outset;
• Development of action;
• Culmination;
• Denouement.

Tie - this is the very beginning of the whole performance. It is necessary to familiarize the viewer with the actors, with the place of action and with what events the whole story began to be told.

The development of action is a gradual transition from an outset to a culmination.

The culmination is the main point in the play, it serves as a transition to the denouement. He is the most intense and significant in the plot, the outcome of the play depends largely on him.

Decoupling is the stage at which the action is completed, summing up takes place. This is a kind of result of the previous components of the whole plot.

Masha : Grandma, let me go to the forest for mushrooms, please!

Girlfriend : We must hurry, and then the sun is already high, and the forest is far away. We pick up podberezovikov, chanterelles and strawberries.

Masha : Let me go, grandmother.

A grandfather appears in the window of the house.

Grandfather : Okay, grandma, let Masha go into the forest! There has long been no bear, and in remembrance, Fedot shot him.

Mashenka (seeing the mushroom, runs forward): Oh, I found the mushroom.

Girlfriend : Do not run away from me and do not lag behind, otherwise you'll get lost!

Mashenka : Here's another mushroom.

She runs away behind the trees and she is no longer visible, only her voice is heard.

Masha : How many mushrooms! Pigs, honey agarics, chanterelles. Oh, there are berries. Strawberries, blueberries, lingonberries.

The girlfriend finds a mushroom, tears it and puts it in its basket. After that, he looks around.

Mashenka : My girlfriend, ay! Respond! I'm here! Where are you? But someone's hut, ask the one who lives in it, take us home.

She knocks on the door and the bear opens to her. He grabs her and drags him to his house.

Bear : Come in, if you come. Will you stay with me! You'll bake me a stove, clean up the cake, bake cakes for raspberries, cook jelly and porridge for semolina, otherwise I'll eat you.

Mashenka (crying): I can not stay here! My grandmother and grandfather are waiting for me, crying. Who will cook for them without me?

Bear : You need me on the farm! You will live with me, and you can cook their own dinners here, but I'll take them.

Grandma : Vnuchenka, where are you? Ay! And suddenly the bear ate it? Where are you, Masha?

A bear is shown from behind a tree. He goes out to meet his grandmother and grandfather.

Bear : What are you shouting about? You prevent me from sleeping!

Grandmother and grandfather are frightened of him and run away.

Bear : That's nice! There's nothing to walk in my forest!

The bear goes to his hut.

Decoupling

It was morning. The bear comes out of the hut. He is followed by Mashenka and carries a large box.

Bear : Where are you going? What's in the box with you?

Mashenka : I baked pies with raspberries and blueberries for my grandparents! They will be glad.

Bear : Want to escape from me? You can not outwit me! I'm the smartest in the forest! I'll bring them your own pies.

Masha : All right, take it. Only now I'm afraid that you'll eat all the patties on the way. I'll then climb on the pine tree and from there I'll follow you so that you do not open the box and do not eat anything.

Bear : I will not deceive you.

Mashenka : Bring me some firewood, so I can cook you porridge, while you go to my grandparents.

The bear leaves behind the wood. The girl is hiding in the box at this time. Soon the Bear returns, brings firewood, picks up a box and goes to the village singing a song.

Bear : Oh, I'm tired. I'll sit on the stump and eat the pie!

Mashenka : (leaning out of the box): I'm sitting high, looking far! Do not sit on the stump and do not eat my pies! Take them to your grandmother and grandfather.

Bear : That's what a big-eyed one is.

He sighs and goes on.
