Children's theater is a powerful means of influencing the formation of a child's personality. Children love to play, it develops them and prepares them for adulthood. And when they see a talented performance on stage, their soul absorbs the entire performance to the smallest detail. Children also enjoy participating in the action. For little actors, this is a transition into a fairy tale, and makeup and costumes will complete the transformation. For the performance to be successful, you need a good script for the children's performance, adapted to the age of the children.
What are the scenarios?
The skits that are staged in kindergarten are usually one-act acts. All events unfold in real time. There is no curtain, so scripts should be chosen with that in mind.
In an elementary school, the performance can take place either in a classroom with moved furniture or in an assembly hall. During school-wide events, the cast of the play may be of different ages. This only brings the guys closer together.
The script for a children's play often has an educational direction:
- rules for crossing the street;
- the importance of cleaning the house;
- responsibility for pets;
- condemnation of greed;
- the importance of honesty.
In kindergarten
The performances are simple and short. Children's attention is still unstable, and it is difficult for them to work like schoolchildren. You can suggest the production of “Little Red Riding Hood”.
1 scene. House, forest in the distance. The path goes in two directions.
The storyteller tells about a beautiful village where Mom and her daughter, Little Red Riding Hood, live. He explains why they call her that and points to the forest in the distance - Grandmother lives there. Grandfather is a lumberjack, so he and Grandmother live in the forest.
Mom comes out of the door, calls her daughter and asks her to bring some gifts to Grandmother. She says she already called her and she is waiting. Mom asks her daughter to call her grandmother on her mobile phone when she comes to her. He and his grandfather installed a new second door, and no bells or knocks were heard.
The girl takes the basket and looks into it. Mom goes into the house. The daughter walks along the path, collects a bouquet and sings a song.
The Wolf comes out. He finds out where the girl is going, what she is carrying in the basket - and also decides to visit Grandma. He points out the long way, and the girl leaves the stage. The wolf runs in place, saying that he will first eat Grandma, and then the girl.
The storyteller explains that the Wolf is running along a short road and will now be with Grandmother. Music is playing. A curtain.
Scene 2. The house after the curtain opens is already on the other side of the stage. The Wolf runs out and knocks on the door. An old woman in a headscarf and glasses looks out the window and sees the Wolf. He doesn't notice her. She takes off her scarf and glasses and hides in the house. The wolf climbs out the window.
The storyteller explains that Grandmother turned off her mobile phone so that it would not accidentally ring and hid in the closet. And she left the scarf and glasses on purpose on the window so that the Wolf would think that she had left. Because everyone knew that Grandma only left the house wearing contact lenses.
The wolf put on a scarf and glasses and settled down by the window, periodically falling asleep and snoring.
Little Red Riding Hood approaches. In hands there is a basket and a bouquet. She tries to call the phone, but no one answers. She says: “Where is Grandma?”
The wolf wakes up and in a creaky voice finds out who came. Then he gives instructions to pull the string. The girl says: “Grandma, you changed the door, open it yourself.” The wolf disappears into the house and his voice is heard: “Climb through the window, the door won’t open.”
The storyteller explains that the door can only be opened with a key, and Grandmother took it with her to the closet. The girl calls her Mom and tells her about the door and that her grandmother suggests climbing through the window.
The storyteller reports that Mom did not tell her daughter anything, but she called Grandfather, and he is about to rush in in a new jeep with his team of lumberjacks.
There is a dialogue between the Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood about the hands, ears, eyes and teeth of Grandmother. Eventually the Wolf climbs out of the window and lunges at the girl. The music of lumberjacks sounds. The Woodcutters come out and surround the Wolf. A curtain. The music stops.
Before the curtain, Little Red Riding Hood cries. The woodcutters, the Wolf and the Grandmother come out. They hug. The woodcutters say that they took the Wolf into the brigade. Now he won't have to go hungry. Grandmother tells how she sat in the closet. The wolf asks to give him tea. Everyone goes to drink tea with the pies that Little Red Riding Hood brought. She goes to the audience and offers them candy. Everyone bows.
The musical intros are included by the storyteller, who also gives cues for the performance of the actors and sound design group.
In the school club
The script for a children's play for a school production may include dance numbers, monologues in poetry, and children performing musical works from the stage. It is proposed to stage the musical “Tsokotukha Fly”.
1 scene. Field, music. Mukha is walking, wearing a large gold buckle on his belt. She collects flowers and sings “I see a wonderful freedom.” He bends down and picks up a fake coin.
The fly reads the beginning of Chukovsky's fairy tale: she walked across the field and found some money. She decides to go to the market to buy a samovar. Leaves the stage.
The music of the “Paint Fair” is playing. Merchants come running and set up their stalls. Mukha walks along the rows, looking for a samovar.
The peddlers come running, sing the song “The Box is Full” and offer to buy an electric kettle, she agrees.
The fly dances with the square dance traders, at the end she is lifted in her arms and invites her friends to tea. A curtain.
Scene 2. Mucha's apartment. Large table, chairs around. There are sofas in the corners. In the background is a window with curtains. There is a door on the left. The music “At the samovar, me and my Masha” plays. The doorbell rings, Mukha goes to answer it. Cockroaches enter.
The fly invites: “Come in,” and offers tea. They sit down at the table and drink tea. The fly comments on the events of the fairy tale.
The Bugs come in and bring milk and baked goods. The fly accompanies their actions with the words of a fairy tale.
Fleas come in and give boots. Mucha accompanies everything with the words of Chukovsky.
The Bee is limping and walking heavily. Carrying a barrel of honey. The cockroaches quickly uncork it and place it on the table. Everyone eats honey, scooping it out of the barrel with spoons. The music stops.
Butterfly comes running, she takes care of the figure. He refuses tea. Everyone persuades her in unison: “Eat the jam.”
Spider enters unnoticed. He grabs Mukha and drags him to the door. The Cockroaches notice this and comment in horror.
The fly asks the guests for help. They, pronouncing Chukovsky’s words, hide somewhere. The grasshopper jumps towards the door, reciting poems about himself.
Mukha sums it up: “No one will move.”
The Spider ties the Fly to a chair with ropes, rubbing his hands and licking his lips. Bukashka comments on these actions from under his chair. The fly screams. The bug commented on this too.
Music “Time is forward” by G. Sviridov. Everyone froze. The curtain swings open and Komar enters in a musketeer costume and with a flashlight.
The bug comments on his arrival in the words of Chukovsky.
The mosquito says his words: “Where is the villain?” - and attacks the Spider. There is a fight and they run out the door. Komar comes back alone. The Grasshopper follows him and tells him what he saw.
The mosquito continues himself: “He takes a fly by the hand...”. She and Mukha decide to get married.
Music "The wedding sang and danced." Everyone comes out of hiding and comments on the events in the fairy tale.
Mosquito and Fly dance the Waltz of the Flowers.
Everyone comes to the edge of the stage and throws flowers to the audience. They bow.
Children of different ages can play the roles of both children and adults. This determines the choice of scenario. Along with such works that are included in the school curriculum, there are classics that are unforgettable and loved by everyone. These are “Cinderella”, “Swineherd”, “Morozko”, “Aibolit”. The script is not written very closely to the text; popular songs and music are added. Don't forget about the author's stage directions - these are instructions to the actors about the place, time, situation and other features.
The magic is replaced by a special effect. The author prescribes in the script how to make a miracle. This is called the author's remark. For example, in the fairy tale “Moidodyr” a candle runs away from a boy. This can be done like this: tie a fishing line to a candle and pull it behind the curtain. There is an actor standing there who will gradually pull out the fishing line, and the candle will “run away”.
Along with the usual fairy tale characters, you can introduce new ones into action: a boy with an iPhone, a caring grandmother who follows her grandson with a bag of useful things, a modern scientist (he, like Paganel, will help the heroes get out of difficult situations not with the help of magic, but with the help of Sciences).
In the theater studio
Teachers who lead classes with children in the theater have goals and objectives that differ from school productions. A child who has been trained in a theater group must be able to transform. He is taught to collect gestures and facial expressions of different people into a kind of “piggy bank.” Then he will sculpt an image based on this luggage.
Acting ethics are fostered and the ability to improvise is revealed. This is necessary to beat any hitch or mistake of your partner. An important role is given to the acting teacher's charisma. Stage movement, plastic arts, etudes, working with invisible objects are the disciplines of the theater studio.
Scenarios for children's performances for a theater studio are complex: they include actions before the curtain, changing clothes during the performance, and may contain interactive elements and monologues. More than a hundred Shakespeare festivals in America have shown that children can play complex roles. But it’s better to turn to fairy tales.
Scenarios for children's fairy tales
It’s better to write the script yourself, as Svetlana Valentinovna Kurmanaeva, a resident of Yoshkar-Ola, does. This is a primary school teacher and for thirty years the head of a school. All fairy tales are musical, with dancing. “Oseniny” even looks like a musical, all the characters sing there. Svetlana Valentinovna finds material for the script herself, but sometimes children bring it. Performances based on such works are also staged. The guys also take part in discussing the script. For a more complex production - with a change of scenery - the script for the children's play "The Snow Queen" is suitable.
The teacher staged many performances, mostly fairy tales. “Tsvetik-Semitsvetik” introduced the children to the culture of different countries. The tale of the journey to the aquarium taught me to be responsible for those I tamed. “Laughter and Tears” based on the works of S. Ya. Marshak teaches mutual assistance and determination.
Fairy tales are initially written for children, so good performances can be staged on their foundation: in kindergarten, at school, in the House of Culture - wherever there is a stage and spectators. Good will definitely defeat evil, and the main characters are handsome. And a miracle will happen, because kindness works miracles.

ADVENTURES OF NASTYA IN A FAIRY LAND
Nastya comes out
Nastya: Hello guys! Today I came to you to tell you an extraordinary story that happened to me. This is how it all began...
The curtain opens. Nastya goes up on stage and sits down to watch TV. Mom comes in.
Mother: Nastenka, daughter, look at the interesting book I bought for you.
Nastya: Ugh! These fairy tales again! I told you a hundred times that I don’t like them. It would be better if you bought me a computer.
Mother: Nastya, all children love fairy tales.
Nastya: But I do not love. Mommy, I’m not a little girl who gets read bedtime stories. Go to the store and please change these stupid fairy tales for something else.
Mom leaves.
Nastya: How can you love some fairy tales!
Fairy: Oh, Nastya, Nastya!
Nastya: Who is this?
Comes down from the stage. The curtain closes.
Fairy: I am a fairy from the land of fairy tales. I heard that there is a girl who doesn't like fairy tales at all.
Nastya: Why do we love them? After all, in fairy tales everything is not real. There you are, you're probably not real. There is a voice, but no person.
Music is playing. The Fairy appears.
Fairy: Here I am - a real Fairy. Hello, Nastya.
Nastya: It can’t be...I’m probably sleeping and dreaming...I’ll wake up now. You haven't disappeared?!
Fairy: Of course not. After all, many people all over the world love fairy tales, so neither I nor my country of fairy tales can disappear.
Nastya: Noah I will never believe that such a country exists.
Fairy: Do you want to go to a fairyland and meet its inhabitants?
Nastya: Yes, it would be interesting to see this.
Fairy: Then you will have to believe in miracles first. Here's a feather from the Firebird. You must wave it and say the magic words:
There is a fairytale country
She is full of all miracles
So that I can find myself in it
Help the feather of the Firebird!
Then, when you want to change the fairy tale, just wave your pen, but remember, you must take care of the pen. After all, without him you will not be able to return home. And if the pen falls into the hands of an evil person, disaster can happen - in fairy tales, evil will always win. Have a safe journey, Nastya, and I will be waiting for you in our country.
The fairy leaves. Nastya waves her pen and says the words. The curtain opens. There is a forest on stage.
Nastya: What a fairyland... the most ordinary forest.
Kolobok runs out
Kolobok: OH! (saw Nastya)
Nastya: Ko-lo-bok?!
Kolobok: And you are probably the granddaughter of my grandparents?
Nastya(uncertain) Probably...Listen, are you a real Kolobok? From dough?
Kolobok: Of course, I just came out of the oven. Here, touch me, I'm still hot.
Nastya: Wow! Really hot.
Nastya: I’ll tell you... (scared) No, no, wait, Kolobok. Have you seen the Hare?
Kolobok: Saw
Nastya: Did he want to eat you?
Kolobok: I wanted to, but I ran away from him. How do you know that?
Nastya: More on this later. So you met both the Wolf and the Bear? That's it, you're gone.
Kolobok: How did you disappear? Where did you disappear to?
Nastya: Now you will meet the Fox and she will eat you!
Kolobok: Here's another! She will eat...I ran away from everyone and I’ll run away from her
Nastya: What a braggart you are! She's the Fox...And the Fox is very cunning. Haven't you read fairy tales? Oh, well, yes, I didn’t read it. In general, she will deceive you anyway
Kolobok: (crying): What should I do?
Nastya: Don't cry, we'll figure something out now. Eh, I wish I had an invisibility hat here... I remember my mother reading such a fairy tale to me. Where can I get it?
The Fairy appears.
Fairy: It seems, Nastya, do you need my help?
Nastya: Dear Fairy, I really want to help Kolobok. Now, if only I had an invisibility hat...
Fairy: And I happened to have it with me. Take it and try to help Kolobok. Good luck.
The fairy leaves.
Nastya(looks at the hat): Yes, I thought the hat would be more beautiful... Yes, okay, as long as it works.
Lisa comes out. Kolobok is hiding behind Nastya.
Nastya: Hello, Lisa
Fox: Where did you come from? You weren't in our fairy tale!
Nastya: And now there is,
Fox: Who's that hiding behind your back?
Kolobok puts on his hat and pinches the Fox. The fox runs away from him screaming.
Fox: I don’t want to be in this fairy tale anymore, it’s somehow wrong. I'd rather go to another one. (leaves)
Kolobok(takes off his hat): Thank you, Nastya, for your help. I'd probably rather go home. Can I keep the hat?
Nastya: Take it. I do not mind.
Kolobok runs away. Nastya comes down from the stage. The curtain closes.
Nastya: And you know, I’m starting to like this fabulous country. I'll try to get into another fairy tale. Nastya waves her pen and says the words. The Wolf comes out.
Wolf: Oh, how angry I am! I waited all day for that nasty Little Red Riding Hood, but she didn’t go to grandma. What will I eat? Oh, I remembered... The Magpie was chattering in the forest that the Goat had gone to town, and the stupid kids were left alone at home. This means I will have a hearty dinner.
The wolf leaves.
Nastya: Oh, what should I do? After all, the Wolf will eat the little kids. How can I help them?..If only I had a tape recorder...
The Fairy appears.
Fairy: I want to help you, girl. Here's this magic box for you - a tape recorder. I hope he helps you save your goats.
Nastya: Thank you. I will try.
They leave. The little goats take the stage.
1 kid: Brothers, let's go home. After all, mom didn’t tell us to leave the house.
2 kids: That's right, otherwise Magpie was cracking that an angry, hungry Wolf was wandering through the forest.
3 kid: I'm scared…
4 kids: Yes, if the Wolf comes, I will… (a wolf howl is heard) Oh!
5 kids: Let's run home quickly.
The kids go up to the stage. The curtain opens. The Wolf comes out.
Wolf: Well, all the kids are in place. Now I will pretend to be their mother, they will open the door for me and I will eat them. (knocks)
