What is the name of the school theatre. Open your own kids club

Choosing the name of a circle of arts and crafts is not as simple a task as it might seem at first glance. This association is not created for one year, the development of the circle is laid in the future. Changes and additions to the work program, the emergence of new areas and age groups are possible. All this makes the choice of event responsible.

The Importance of Further Education

Children attending the circle acquire skills and abilities that help them to study in a general education school. In addition, creative activities with an enthusiastic, caring teacher make them more organized and manageable.

Fine motor skills, which develop well in such classes, make it possible to learn how to write well, put beautiful handwriting. It is also known to be beneficial for the mental performance of children.

The modern name of the arts and crafts circle will attract the attention of children, it will be interesting for them to go to it. In the process of creating a work of art, a small person will overcome difficulties: he will learn patience, learn about his capabilities.

Boring stages of work, such as a monotonous operation that is repeated many times, the teacher will help to perform mechanically. Then the head is freed for a conversation on an interesting topic. While the guys are shading, sticking, cutting out something, the teacher is telling a story on a common topic.

• Leaves.
• Acorns.
• Small stones.
• Shells.
• Seeds of various plants.
• Cones.

Then crafts are created either in the form of paintings that can be hung on the walls of the room, or in the form of figurines. Scenes from Russian fairy tales can be depicted. Natural material can be painted with gouache, and after drying, coated with acrylic transparent varnish. It is odorless and water soluble.

Names suitable for the preschool work program:

• "Developing Skills"
• "Before school".
• "Skilled Hands".

Circle for younger students

The previous practice of electives gave tangible results: the students who attended them did better in subjects. A group of 10 people is the optimal number for informal activities.

In the process, the teacher often approaches one or another student. Personal assistance from a specialist, and on time, is the key to student success. If a lot of guys signed up, especially at the beginning of his work, common work will help to unite everyone in one thing.

The distribution of tasks will make everyone feel at home and the work will go smoothly. In winter, when attendance falls, more attention can be paid to the individual approach.

Directions that children of elementary school are happy to study:

• Plasticine technology.
• Salty dough.
• Decorative postcard.

Perspective development of the circle

So that the circle does not close after the first year of life, its future development should be considered. The program that children studied in the first year will remain in the second for those who first came to study. The second year is already a different program, otherwise the children will be bored.

Thematic plans for each year of study may have their own names. But the name of the circle of arts and crafts remains constant. each year includes repetition, consolidation of previously acquired skills, and new material.

Technologies that require constant training are good to leave and develop. It can be the following types of work:

• Modeling.
• Drawing.
• Decoration.
• Sewing.
• Embroidery.
• Knitting.
• Author's doll.

Working with paper, most likely, will no longer be interesting for the guys. Although for congratulations of loved ones you can leave

The third year (or a course for older children) can make not just dolls or soft toys, but glove dolls. Then we can put on a little show. This will also attract the attention of parents.

Participation in exhibitions is a quick way to achieve success in your chosen field. Sometimes teachers do not want to be bound by this, explaining that they are busy. But children who are preparing for the competition can devote a lot of time to this. Especially when they hear praise. Do not be afraid to declare participation in city, regional and other competitions. It will be a good idea for future development.

The circle may receive an order for the production of promotional products, souvenirs, building models, etc. This is good advertising. Take pictures of the process steps, make notes in the local newspaper, and everyone will know the name of the arts and crafts circle. At the end, arrange a holiday.

Then the children will fly on wings to their favorite circle, and their teacher will become a loved one.

Explanatory note

Artistic and aesthetic education occupies one of the leading places in the content of the educational process of a preschool educational institution and is its priority. For the aesthetic development of a child's personality, various artistic activities are of great importance - visual, musical, artistic and speech, etc. An important task of aesthetic education is the formation of aesthetic interests, needs, taste, and creative abilities in children. The richest field for the aesthetic development of children, as well as the development of their creative abilities, is theatrical activity. In this regard, in our group I lead the theater circle "Fairy Tale".

Theatrical activities are aimed at developing the interests and abilities of the child; contribute to the overall development; the manifestation of curiosity, the desire for new knowledge, the assimilation of new information and new ways of action, the development of associative thinking; perseverance, determination, the manifestation of general intelligence, emotions when playing roles. In addition, theatrical activities require the child to be decisive, systematic in work, hard work, which contributes to the formation of strong-willed character traits. The child develops the ability to combine images, intuition, ingenuity and ingenuity, the ability to improvise. Theatrical activities and frequent performances on stage in front of the audience contribute to the realization of the creative forces and spiritual needs of the child, emancipation and self-esteem. The alternation of the functions of performer and spectator, which the child constantly assumes, helps him to demonstrate to his comrades his position, skills, knowledge, and imagination.

Exercises for the development of speech, breathing and voice improve the speech apparatus of the child. Performing game tasks in the images of animals and characters from fairy tales helps to better master one's body, to realize the plastic possibilities of movements. Theatrical games and performances allow children to immerse themselves in the world of fantasy with great interest and ease, teach them to notice and evaluate their own and other people's mistakes. Children become more liberated, sociable; they learn to clearly formulate their thoughts and express them publicly, to feel and cognize the world around them more subtly.

Relevance. Using the program allows you to stimulate the ability of children to imaginative and free perception of the world around them (people, cultural values, nature, which, developing in parallel with traditional rational perception, expands and enriches it. The child begins to feel that logic is not the only way to know the world, which beautiful can be something that is not always clear and usually.Realizing that there is no truth one for all, the child learns to respect other people's opinions, to be tolerant of different points of view, learns to transform the world, using fantasy, imagination, communication with people around him.

How to come up with something original, if so many wonderful names already exist?

I propose to use the developments of artists and designers, namely the methods of creative search. The main of which is search for associations.

7 creative search methods:

1. Browse this list of kids club and development center names. Turn on your associative thinking and continue each of the categories with your own titles. For example, for the category “Animals”, I came up with the following words: Tit, Kitten, Sparrow, Stork, Giraffe, Penguin, Peacock, Whale, Fox, Dragon.
2. Any of these names can be matched bright adjective. Well, for example: the Smart Tit kids club, the Orange Kitten early development school, the Colored Peacock children's art studio, the Magnificent Sparrow children's center, the White Stork family center, the Merry Giraffe family entertainment center, development center "Dobry Drakosha".
3. You can also add to the Russian word foreign words or take the whole foreign phrase. For example, the Art Fox art studio or the Clever Fox kids club.
4. Think different active titles. For example, the children's development center "Play, baby!".
5. Invite friends, relatives or colleagues and arrange brainstorm. This is the same method of associations, only here not one person thinks, but several. They alternately name associations. It is important that someone writes down all the ideas that are called. Often the collective mind works wonders.
6. If you are a famous person or professional in the field of child development, you you can use your name in the name of the children's club. For example, "Website of Lena Danilova".
7. you also can take over the name a club located in another city, but consider the following:

secondly, do not take the names of very famous children's institutions. It will be difficult for you to first reach their level, and then surpass it. The same applies to the promotion of the site of your children's club;

thirdly, try to change at least something in the original name. This is necessary to avoid a situation where Google (or another search engine) will return 2 clubs with the same name for the query "Children's Club "Vesyolyi Broom"".

How not to call a kids club?

1. Do not use words that may cause any side negative associations. For example, an unfortunate name for a children's club is "Lepota", because it is associated with the word "blindness". And in stores, children's juice "Spelyonok" is sold, the name of which is often read as "Snot".
2. Avoid words and phrases that are difficult to pronounce (Example: Ribambel Kids Club). Be careful with diminutive forms - they are not always appropriate. For example, names are a little difficult to read, such as "Chameleonok" or "Brovarchyonok".
3. Do not use incomprehensible words, because you will have to explain them to everyone for a long time. Example: "Hyperborea", "Atyudiki".
4. Beware of harsh and childish words. You will have to build a complex relationship between the name of the institution and its attitude towards children. For example, "Bartolomeo", "Garage" or "Tachanka".
5. Banal and very common names are also not the best option. They attract little attention, and there are too many identical names in the search engine. In addition, associations with the school circles of our Soviet childhood have not disappeared anywhere. For example, "Rainbow", "Sun", "Dawn", "Chamomile".

In addition to the name, the children's institution also has definition. Here, too, a huge field for imagination opens up. However, the definition is much deeper than the name. It displays essence and main idea children's institution. For example, a “talent club” indicates that children's talents are valued here and, in addition to developing activities, there are many sections and courses. The "Family Centers" have programs designed not only for children, but also for their parents.

38 definitions for preschool institutions:

Focused on child development:

Children's Club, Early Development Center, Developing Center, Educational and Development Center, Child Intelligence Development Institute, Development School, Child Development Center, Child Development Center, Intellect Development Center, Children's Club, Early Development Studio, School of the Future First Grader, Early Development Groups, English children's club, Harmonious development club, Educational center, Child psychology and development club, Montessori center, Children's educational center

Working with families:

Family Center, Family Club, Family Development Center, Family Ecology Center, Family Success Club, Family Club, Family Psychological Club, Family Leisure Club, Family Entertainment Center, Center for Children and Parents

Variety of studios, emphasis on creativity:

Talent Club, Center for Creative Development of Children, Center for Children's Culture

Children's leisure:

Leisure club, Children's leisure club, Children's play club

Emphasis on a favorable atmosphere:

Good home, Eco-club, Club of friends.

These definitions are very beautiful and varied, but I want to insert my own fly in the ointment: when asking a search engine a question, customers most often look for simple and familiar definitions. Therefore, if you are planning with the help of the Internet, it is better to focus on more banal words, such as: “kids club” or “children's development center”.

I hope that this extensive article did not tire you, but inspired you. And you are already thinking the best name for your children's center!

P.S. If you liked this article, feel free to . There will be many articles about the opening and operation of the kindest and most interesting business.

To organize a school theater group means to create a whole world in which children will feel like real heroes, they will be able to try on various images of their favorite characters. Theatrical art will allow from the earliest years to develop comprehensively, remove emancipation, deliver the right speech, learn how to stay in public. How to create a theater group? What are the benefits of doing it for kids?

Features of classes

The plan of the theater circle should be drawn up depending on the psychological characteristics of the children, their age. Classes will allow children to develop in various directions: musical, theatrical, choreographic, psychological. Also, such classes will teach the child to think creatively, develop memory, and gradually achieve the goal.

The finished performance is the final result that the guys will show to the public. Until the result, preparation takes place: rehearsals, acquaintance with the role, "getting used to" the image, staging speech and movements, liberating games, feelings about successes and failures. All these points are the main aspect.

The theatrical circle is able to make a child fall in love with itself, in the end, after several classes, only the most interested children will remain in the created group.

Theater circle program

In order to start working with children correctly, to attract their attention and interest in visiting the circle, it is necessary to gradually introduce them into the world of theater. Therefore, to begin with, it is worth paying attention to the following mandatory points:

1. At the first lesson, it is necessary to introduce the child to the very concept of theater and its types. Explain how one genre differs from another.
2. Step-by-step development of different types of creativity. It is necessary not only to play with children, but also to teach them to put their voices, singing will help with this. Together with the students, come up with the anthem of your team, and start each lesson with it.
3. The development of plasticity is aimed at the emancipation of movements. Dancing and active games will help to achieve results.
4. Improving artistic skills and abilities.
5. Learning to model a situation for a given task. For example, two children are given the task to act out a scene: a janitor swears at a woman for throwing a piece of paper. Explain to the children that it is necessary to get out of this situation correctly, and that the audience (the rest of the circle members) would be interested and funny. The main goal of the task is improvisation.

Thus, the work of the theater circle will be aimed at education and upbringing. The first aspect is responsible for teaching the child artistry, and the second for discipline, accomplishing tasks, controlling emotions, developing intelligence and memory, socialization, and communication skills.

Work with children

Lesson planning plays an important role in achieving your goals. Therefore, the theatrical circle should work in the aggregate of various types of art. You should not divide classes like this: today we sing, tomorrow we dance, the day after tomorrow we will play. Each lesson should be filled to the maximum with all kinds of art, so the child will be more interested, and the result is achieved in a shorter time.

The program of the theater circle should include reading with children on the roles of classical works, plays, tales, ready-made scripts. So the teacher will be able to immediately assess the situation, work with each child separately, choose for each the role of the future performance according to its capabilities.

Tongue twisters have a good effect on the development of speech. To make it more interesting, you can put the children in a circle, give them a ball. The game is simple: whoever gets the ball in his hands, he says a tongue twister. The ball must be in the hands of each member of the circle so that everyone participates.

Tasks of the theater circle

As we wrote earlier, the finished production is not the main task, but the result. Children's theater circles are aimed at developing the child, their main goals are:

• improving the creative potential of an individual child;
• improvement of observation, memory, speed of thinking and reaction;
• development of independence;
• plastics, possession of one's own body;
• expansion of all knowledge;
• development of thinking, including the associative type;
• the development of emancipation, the ability to hold on to the general public;
• replenishment of the vocabulary of children, its expansion;
• improvement of dialogic and monologue speech.

Among other things, theatrical circles at school should be aimed at teaching children honesty, decency, instilling respect for their own and other people's work.

What does the child receive as a result of attending the circle?

Game classes, rehearsals and great physical activity fully fill the child's need for communication, movements, and a splash of emotions. But this is far from all that theater circles can give children. What else will the child get?

1. Ability to improvise in any, even the most difficult situation.
2. The ability to fully control your body, to feel the rhythm.
3. Excellent conversational skills.
4. The ability to reproduce any character and image.
5. Ability to write monologue and dialogue correctly.
6. Ability to resolve conflicts and get out of difficult situations.
7. Teamwork skills.
8. As a result of constant communication with children of different ages, performances on stage in front of the audience, the child will be liberated, will no longer be afraid of the public.

Who should attend the club?

Children's theater circle is suitable for everyone, without exception. For example, a child may not like a music school, or he may not have a predisposition and talent for singing, playing musical instruments. The sports section may also not be the area in which the child would like to develop. The theater group will appeal to almost everyone, regardless of age, hobbies and preferences.

Classes in the circle will liberate modest, clamped and inactive children, teach them to love themselves, and increase self-esteem. Quiet kids will learn to develop leadership skills.

Hyperactive children will find in the theater circle exactly the activity that they need. After all, they play, run, sing, jump, roll on the floor, "walk on their heads", "stand on their ears" and do other useful things!

Hooligan children here will learn discipline, friendship, the ability to work in pairs and a large team, independently achieve their goals, commitment, kindness.

How to choose the right script for the school theater?

So, after two or three months of stable classes, children remain in the circle, interested in further classes, self-development, and they are already ready for real rehearsals. Also, during this period of time, the teacher will get acquainted with the potential of each member of the school troupe. It's time to choose a script.

The most important thing that the leader must remember is that the play for the theater circle is chosen so that each child gets a role in it with words, and there are no children left who will play the silent people in the crowd.

Naturally, the choice of a play must be justified and correct. Little children will not be able to participate in the production of classics, for example, according to Dostoevsky. They need something simpler, for example, the fairy tale "Cat's House", "Little Red Riding Hood", and others. Children of the middle age group will already cope well with longer and more complex fairy tales, such as "The Frog Princess", "The Tale of Tsar Saltan". High school students will be interested in putting on classical works.

The script for the theater group should correspond to the event. For example, to participate in a talent contest, you need to choose positive and humorous ones, because people like to laugh. But such productions are not suitable, for example, for Victory Day, here a more calm and soulful performance is needed.

The distribution of roles is also worth working out well. Of course, you need to start from the wishes of the child himself, but also take into account the following point: give the guys roles that are vastly different from their own character (a tomboy should try to embody the image of a calm and reasonable character, and a modest child should play the role of the main character or villain).

Common mistakes made by the leader of the circle

Very often in the production there is an incorrectly chosen musical accompaniment, or it occurs too often during the performance. It is worth remembering that the music should emphasize the main points, the genre should correspond to the chosen theme of the performance.

There are times when the leader chose the wrong work. In this case, children simply will not be able to perform the role with high quality, play feelings and sensations with which they are not familiar, and generally understand the meaning of the production.

It is necessary to exclude complex sentences, incomprehensible words from the script, their children simply will not be able to remember. Replace with turns of speech that are more understandable and accessible to children's knowledge.

It happens that the material does not suit the audience at all.

Often teachers, in order to improve acting skills and introduce a kind of humor into the performance, distribute male roles to girls, and boys get female images. Only high school students can cope with such a task, and even then not all.

For the younger theater group, as we have already said, it is worth choosing scripts for children's fairy tales. But they don't have to be what they are used to seeing. It is necessary to make adjustments to the images of the heroes, for example, to make them more modern.

Stages of preparing a performance

The children's theater club should work at least three days a week so that young actors do not have time to completely forget all previous rehearsals and theater lessons. This is very important for creating a full-fledged and interesting performance.

So, what needs to be done to make the production memorable not only for the audience, but also for the participants themselves?

1. After choosing a work, provide it to the children for judgment. Everyone, without exception, should like the theme.
2. When the script is approved, a collective reading must be held. At this stage of creating the performance, the rhythm of the production is revealed, the roles are distributed.
3. After the distribution of images, it is necessary to focus on reading by roles. At this time, children may get a little bored, but this stage must be completed without movement, just sitting.
4. Definition of the main theme, idea. Children must understand the purpose of the work.
5. The first drawing up of the image of the performance on the stage. At this stage, you can also listen to the participants, they can offer good ideas for the overall pattern of the course of action.
6. Initially, the performance is worked out in parts, and then a complete picture is compiled from individual scenes.
7. The dress rehearsal the day before the performance should take place as if the audience was already watching. That is, if the actor made a mistake somewhere, let him improvise without the help of the director, because in a real situation no one will help him. Also, during the dress rehearsal there should be no stops, respite, negotiations. Children must work out the performance as in front of the audience.

Right from the very first rehearsal, the leader of the circle must seek from each actor a believable game, correct interaction with the rest of the characters. If you initially allow the wrong game, then in the future it will be very difficult to correct it, since children very quickly remember both movements and the manner of speaking. Show yourself how to move and communicate with stage partners correctly.

Features of working with high school students

The theater club at school should not be likened to serious lessons. Teenagers attending classes are already tired of the complex curriculum, and there they are children for teachers. The head of the circle should trust his actors more, listen to their opinion, and not work on the fact that the main leader here, and everything must be done as he said.

Ask the children to help select a piece to stage. Choose some of the most interesting scenarios, and jointly vote for the one that you put on stage. It is also worth involving the guys in the selection of musical accompaniment. Young people know better what their peers like. Such teamwork will unite the team even more, and each participant will be proud of their contribution to the performance.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that teenagers are impulsive, do not allow quarrels between them. Try to teach children to find alternative solutions that will suit everyone.

Conclusion

The most striking performances are obtained when dance circles are invited to participate in them. Do not be afraid to create such a duet, only everyone will benefit from this.

Finally, I would like to advise all the leaders of school theater circles to be not only teachers, but also friends of children. Joke more, laugh more, do not forget about the extra-curricular time spent together. Take the kids on camping trips in the summer, arrange small themed parties during the school year, and then everything will work out in the team!
