SONG: “WINTER” by Devochkina
Presenter: The children all came to the Christmas tree.
Guests are here, but here's a question:
Where does our merry wander?
Good Santa Claus?
It's time for him to come
He was delayed on the way
Santa Claus: Aw! Aw!
Do you hear me calling you?
He listens, there is no answer.
Clowns: Guys, let's call Santa Claus together.
The children call Santa Claus, and Alice the Fox and Basilio the cat appear instead. The clowns go behind the tree, the tree goes out.
Fox: Let the lame disabled person, eyeless poverty, Cat Basilio through!
Cat: We were frozen in the cold. It's so cold here in the Country of Fools!
Fox: We are looking for a large tree to cut down, melt and warm ourselves.
Cat: Oh, look Alice, here is the tree. Large, branchy - lots of firewood
it will work out.
Lisa: Look, it's dressed up. Balls on it, lanterns.
Cat: Don't worry, we'll cut down the tree now. Let's collect these balls, make beads and
Let's sell them in the Land of Fools.
Lisa: And we will have money.
Cat: How will we divide the money? Again, will you give me two gold pieces and three for yourself? So unfair!
Fox: Wait, you, Basilio, don’t rush. First we need to cut down this tree. Where
saw?
They look around, looking for a saw. They find fallen beads under the tree, begin to pull them in different directions, saying: “I found this!” These are mine! Give it back!”
Presenter: Robbers! Tramps! What a shame!
Soon Santa Claus will come
Oh, someone will get it!
Lisa: I beg you, be silent.
You don't talk about us!
Presenter: To warm up, you don’t have to damage the trees, you can dance happily.
Cat: Well, teach me!
NEW YEAR'S POLISH
Presenter: And in general today we have circus performance. Do you know anything?
Cat: Of course, even though I’m blind, I can show tricks.
Fox: I'm a cunning fox
I also love magic tricks
I'll outwit whoever you want.
CAT AND FOX SHOW Tricks
Cat: We warmed up a little.
Lisa: Now it’s time to hit the road.
Bye everyone, but it’s time for us,
Happy New Year kids!
Basilio the cat and Alice the Fox leave.
Presenter: Where is Grandfather Frost?
He was delayed on the way
It's time for him to come!
10th child: Snowfalls and blizzards,
They could have led him astray
Deep snowdrifts in the forest
They lay down at grandfather’s feet.
11 child: Then he's definitely lost,
Our circus horses
I'll call my grandfather to help.
(Calls) You horses, hurry up,
Help Santa Claus!
DANCE OF CIRCUS HORSES
There is a trainer in the center of the circle. He has colorful ribbons in his hands, the horses hold on to the ribbons and perform movements. After the dance, the girls run away from the hall and return with Santa Claus - “riding on a sleigh.” The first three girls hold an arc with bells. Santa Claus holds the reins.
Father Frost: Hello guys,
Dear grandchildren (children answer)
I made my way to you through the snowstorms,
Finally reached the goal.
And I thought of one thing:
I dreamed of going to the circus for a long time,
And the desired hour has come,
I'm very glad to see you!
Happy New Year!
I wish you happiness and joy
Turns to the tree:
Your Christmas tree is amazing
And fragrant and beautiful
Presenter: Only the sad one stands
The lights don't sparkle!
Father Frost: Let's fix this problem,
Let's make all the lights shine!
He speaks slowly, confidently:
My magic staff
Stand on your heels.
Strikes the floor with his staff.
Stomp once and spin...
Spinning around with a staff, showing them the tree
Come on, Christmas tree, light up!
The lights on the tree light up
Father Frost: Come on, circus people
Join the round dance!
Because in our circus...
All children together:

12th child: We are not afraid! We don't mind the cold!
We are not afraid of the cold!
We dance and sing
We have a lot of fun!
Father Frost: So you're not afraid? But I'll check it now!
GAME: “FREEZE”
Children stand near the chairs, Santa Moreau leads his staff close to the children’s feet. The children are jumping up and down.
Father Frost: Oh, I haven't played like this for a long time!
Oh, how tired grandpa is!

Yes, listen, look,
And the guys will have a rest,
They will read poetry for you.

How happy everyone is
New Year's Eve!

Father Frost: Oh, it’s as easy as shelling pears,
One or two and you're done!
Presenter: Well, then at our Christmas tree
Let's all dance together!
“SONG ABOUT SANTA CLAUS” by Shalamonova

Children - clowns - come out from both sides.
DANCE OF CLOWNS
Presenter: Well, Grandfather Frost
You made us laugh to tears.
Where did you put the gifts, remember?
Father Frost: Look how much snow there is under your Christmas tree
We'll do a little magic
Let's blow on the snow together...
Let the snow sparkle and sparkle.
Let them turn into gifts!
Knocks with a staff:
Let's shovel the snow under the tree
And we will find gifts there!
Adults remove the blanket, children see gifts. Santa Claus distributes gifts.
Father Frost: He gave gifts to everyone,
Have you forgotten anyone?
Children answer:
Time moves forward
The New Year has arrived!
Grow strong and healthy
And play a little bit,
It's time for me to go on a long journey
Goodbye, kids!
Santa Claus is leaving.
1 Presenter: Well, friends, it's time for us,
He goes home.

The show will begin for you.

And there will be our performance

Surprisingly for all the guests!

Round dance to the song “New Year” by A. Kozlova

Children stand in a semicircle.

Children:

1. Peace and quiet. Everything was covered in snowstorm.

Only the month is shining in the sky.
From the distant land where our dreams live,

The New Year is rushing towards us.

2. This starry night can help adults

Leave for a carefree childhood.
And it’s probably not in vain that the lights are burning for us,

Illuminating the way for fairy tales.

3. By white light New Year is coming,

The most magical weather in the world.

And everyone is waiting for something wonderful

From this New Year!

4. She’s been coming to us for a holiday for a whole year

Green beauty of the forests,
Then I quietly dressed up in this room

And now her outfit is ready.

5. We are all admiring the Christmas tree today,

She gives us a delicate aroma,

And the best New Year's holiday

He comes with her to our houses.

    New Year is coming,

Snowflakes are falling,

The blizzard is circling outside the window

And the pieces of ice sparkle.

2) Christmas trees, beads, confetti,

The light of lights is everywhere

The smell of pine needles, tangerine,

Waiting for a miracle.

3) New Year is knocking on houses

With wonderful magic,

He'll come here soon

Will burst into song.

The children whisper.

Leading: What are you guys whispering?

What's your secret there?

6. We want to arrange a surprise

Nothing more surprising!

Leading: There's a surprise here - that's interesting!

What will you show us?

Children together: Circus performance

We will show it to all guests!

7. For the first time! For the first time! Today, now

We present our circus for you!

A special circus! This New Year's circus

It will bring us many miracles!

8. Come to our circus party as soon as possible!

We are inviting good friends to the holiday!
Today you will find fun and jokes,

You won't be bored here for a minute!

9. We invited Santa Claus to our circus,

But for some reason he doesn’t come to us,

He's probably delivering gifts to the kids.

And he will bring us a surprise.

Leading: Don't be upset, guys, Santa Claus will definitely get to us. In the meantime, we begin our New Year's performance. So, the parade - Hello!

Children walk to the song “Circus, Circus, Circus” by V. Shainsky.

The children take their seats.

Leading: Attention! Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen! Our New Year's circus program will be led by famous clowns Bim and Bom. We greet you with thunderous applause!

Clowns run in to the music and collide with each other...

Bim: (joyfully) Bom!

Bom: (surprised) Bam!

Bim: I'm so glad to see you!

Bom: And I'm even more happy!

Bim: Hello, Bom!

Bom: Hello, Bim! (They shake each other’s hands for a long time, repeating “Hello!”)

Bim: Bom, you and I forgot to do something

Bom: I haven't forgotten anything.

Bim: We forgot to say hello to the guys

Bom: This is true. Oh, how bad! It's your fault, Bim.

Bim: It doesn’t matter, Bom, who’s to blame, we need to say hello. You start.

Bom: But I can't

Bim: Don't you know how? Then I'll say hello first, and you study. Look and listen. It's very simple. Hello guys! (Bows in all directions)

Bom: Okay, now me. (Pause) It's very simple. Hello guys, hello! (Bows in all directions)

Bim:(Approaches Bom, takes him back a little, speaks in a low voice)“Very simple” - no need to say. Just say: “Hello, guys, hello!” Well, go!

Bom: There is no need to speak very simply. Just say: “Hello, guys, hello!”

Bim: (irritated) You, Bom, don't understand anything. There is no need to tell the guys: “It’s very simple,” just say: “Hello, guys!” Why don’t you understand, I’m teaching you! Even little ones know how to say hello, and you’re not little.

Bom: Ah-ah-ah! (crying) You teach poorly, you only scold me (goes to the side. Bim runs up to him and pulls him back to the center)

Bim: Well, okay, don't be angry, let's say hello together. Repeat after me: “Hello, guys!” - and bow

They speak together and bow, the children respond with applause

Bim: So, the first number of our program is our students!

Bom: Meet young clowns!

Clown dance

Bim: They've gone crazy! Bom, help! (Bom brings a tunnel bag) Come on, get into the bag quickly! (The clowns alternately climb into the tunnel, come out on the other side, and run back to their seats) Now daddy will gather you up and punish you for your pranks. (Bim and Bom want to tie the tunnel, but they find a hole in it, blow the whistle, and run backstage.)

Leading: While our teachers are looking for their students, I will announce the next issue of our program.

Ballerinas on a tightrope,

Like light snowflakes

And they dance and twirl,

And yet they are not afraid.

We greet you with thunderous applause!

Tightrope walker: We are graceful girls -

The artists are real.

We deftly walk the tightrope,

We are not afraid of heights.

No, we haven't seen it, guys.

You are so beautiful!

Bim and bom are carried out and rolled out to the music.

Tightrope walker dance,

music by A. Rybnikov from the film “That Same Munchausen”

(They sit down. Bim and Bom run out)

Bim: Just think, they are running along a tightrope... Anyone can do this. Maestro, music! (The clown theme plays. Imitates dancing on a tightrope, loses balance, falls, gets up, rubs the bruised area)

Bom: Oh, you boasted! Look how it should be done! (Blows the whistle, the music turns on. Imitates dancing on a rope, but also loses his balance and falls) Oh-oh-oh!

Presenter: What are you doing here? Would-be tightrope walkers. (Bim and Bom quickly grab the rope and run backstage) Friends! The next issue of our program. We meet Gypsy Aza with the trained bear Yashka!

Number Gypsy with a bear,

music for the dance “Gypsy”

Gypsy: Come on, Yasha, show us how our people go to work.

The bear walks to slow dance music, waddling from side to side, bowing.

Gypsy: And from work?

Bear under fast music walks in a circle and bows.

Gypsy: Now show me how our people have fun after work?

The bear takes a guitar, pretends to play the guitar to the lyrical theme from the movie "Titanic", and shakes his head like a rock musician to any rock music fragment. They leave with the gypsy to applause.

Leading: We continue the show

We present the number again:

Strongmen visiting us -

Welcome them now!

Bim and bom roll out weights, dumbbells, and barbells to the music

Strongman's number

They go out to the circus musical theme strongmen. The assistant brings out a container of flour, the strongmen rub their hands with flour and powder their armpits. Strongmen take the weight of dumbbells and press them up several times

Strongman 1: I always wanted to be a strongman

To move a cabinet with your shoulder.

I am a very strong strongman - I understand weights.

For me they are like a ball - everyone knows about it!

Strongman 2: And I wanted to be a strong man

So that weights don’t matter!

I can lift a truck with one hand

And hold on for 5 hours - I’m so strong!

They take the weight of a giant weight, put one on the back of the other, take the weight of the barbell, after which Bim fans them with a towel previously moistened with water, wipes the sweat from their forehead and squeezes it out. Bom also tries to lift the weight of the barbell, staggers and drops the barbell. The strongmen laugh and call the boy who brought them the container with flour. He comes out and takes the weight. Bim and Bom scratch their heads. The strongmen go to their places. B and B have difficulty moving the weights away.

Leading: In the arena very soon

You will see jugglers

I announce the number

Let's clap together, friends!

Juggler 1: We throw the rings up

We'll have fireworks

Five, and six, and seven rings,

And twelve, finally!

Juggler 2: Surprised around

How do we have enough hands?

We give now the answer:

Training is the secret!

Dance of jugglers with rings to the music "Tiko-tiko"

Leading: And now the number is unusual

One of a kind!

And they will show it to us - this girl from the front row, this boy with glasses, etc.

(Choose 5 parents. Bim and Bom take out 5 inflated balloons)

Leading: So, I'll explain the task. A juggler is known to juggle with his hands. But the most best juggler can throw objects with anything: with his feet, and ears, and the back of his head, and his elbows. And since in our New Year's circus the best artists are performing - then you will be juggling - (pause) nose! Bim and Bom, please demonstrate the task. (Bim and Bom show.) Here's a juggling prop for you, on my command you immediately begin tossing the ball with your nose, just don't help with your hands or ears; whoever doesn't drop the ball the longest will get a surprise. Three, two, one. Let's go.

Game with parents “Ball on the nose”

The host enrolls the winner into the circus troupe and gives him a certificate and a chocolate medal.

Leading: And we continue. I announce the number - “Dog Trainer”!

Bim and Bom lay out numbers on the floor

Trainer: (walks around the circle, greeting the audience, calling the dogs) Music! (one dog runs out and barks “Woof!”) , Pusik (the second dog runs out and barks “Woof!”) , Kusik (the third dog runs out and barks “Woof!”) , Chusik (the fourth dog runs out and barks “Woof!”) .

Trainer: What is 1 plus 1?

Dog 1 runs up to the number “2” and barks 2 times. The trainer praises the Dog.

Trainer: What is 2 plus 2?

Dog 2 runs up to the number “4” and barks 4 times. The trainer praises the Dog.

Trainer: What is 2 plus 1? Dog 3 runs up to the number “3” and barks 3 times. The trainer also praises her.

Trainer: What is 5 minus 5? Dog 4 runs up to the number “0”, spreads his arms to the sides and shakes his head. The trainer praises the Dog.

Trainer: Well done to us!

They can go to first grade!

Now please dance

And amuse your guests!

Dance of trained dogs to the “Dog Waltz”

Leading: Now guys, be quiet...

I hear the sound of bells

In a warm fur coat

Gray frost is coming to us!

Father Frost and Snow Maiden appear

Father Frost: There are so many people in the hall!

Apparently it's a nice holiday here.

So, they told us correctly:

The guys are waiting for us with our granddaughter!

All obstacles have been passed through,

The snow covered us all.

I knew that we would be welcome here,

That's why I hurried here!

Snow Maiden: This is the day we have been waiting for a long time

We haven't seen each other all year.

Sing, ring under the tree

New Year's round dance!

Father Frost: Stand up, guys.

Everyone is about to dance in a circle.

Song, dance and fun

Let's celebrate the New Year with you!

Round dance song with Father Frost and Snow Maiden

Father Frost: How you have grown this year, guys!

10. Father Frost, Father Frost

Guess our riddles.

We will dance and sing,

And we’ll show you all the answers.

Father Frost: OK then. Get started.

Guess game

(Children walk in a circle and sing)

Children:

(Play the pipe)

Father Frost: You're the one drinking milk!

Leading: No, grandfather, these were children playing the pipe.

Father Frost: Eh, I didn’t guess!

Children(singing): Come on, dear Santa Claus, admire us!

Guess, Santa Claus, what we are doing now! (Play guitar)

Father Frost: You're the one scratching your belly!

Leading: No, grandfather, these were children playing the guitar.

Father Frost: Well done, I didn’t guess again!

Children(singing): Come on, dear Santa Claus, admire us!

Let Santa Claus guess what we are doing now! (Play the violin)

Father Frost: You're the one pulling my beard!

Leading: What are you saying, grandfather, these were children playing the violin!

Father Frost: Eh, how slow-witted I am, well, thank you, they taught my grandfather.

The children take their seats.

Leading: Santa Claus, we have one last “guessing game” for you!

Children:(singing locally) Come on, dear Santa Claus, admire us!

Let Santa Claus guess where you are now!

At the last riddle, Bim and Bom come in, blow their whistles from behind, and Santa Claus gets scared

Father Frost: Oh, who else is this? Are they really clowns?

Bim: We're glad to introduce ourselves! Clown Bim.

Bom: Clown Bom.

Father Frost: So I'm at the New Year's circus!

Bim: Exactly, grandpa! (Blows the trumpet)

Father Frost: Fu-you, spoiler! So - in the circus... Well, I also have something to show you, but a little later, and now I want to relax and listen to poetry.

Bim and Bom: Yes, yes, sit down, Santa Claus, listen to the poems. (Putting a chair for him, they leave)

Children read poetry

Father Frost: Well, thank you, well done.

Snow Maiden: Guys, I also really love the circus, and today I brought my favorite circus act especially for you.

Pigeons are circling in a free dance

IN sunny sky no fuss.

Pigeons are peaceful children of nature!

There is so much beauty in flight!

Dance with pigeons to the song “Angel is flying”

Leading: Thank you, Snegurochka!

Bim: (comes out on one side) Bom! Bom! (to children) Have you seen Bom?

Bom: (comes out from the other side with binoculars): I'm here!

Bim: What do you have?

Bom: These are magical binoculars. If you look into it, you can see a lot of interesting things.

Bim: Look at me! What do you see interesting?

Bom: (looks) Your hands are dirty, honey! (Bim hides his hands.)

Bim: What binoculars! Let me see now (Looks) Bom, I see you!

Bom: Amazing!

Bim: And I also see that you didn’t wash your ears this morning!

Bom: Well, I forgot! Well, it happens!... Now let’s look at the kids with their parents

Looking at children

Bim: Oh, look how the guys' eyes are lighting up.

Bom: I wonder why?.... Maybe they want magic?

Bim: Santa Claus, and Santa Claus, you promised to surprise us. You are the best wizard in the world. Show the guys a trick.

Bom: Or some kind of magic?

Together: Please.

Snow Maiden: Grandfather, haven’t you forgotten anything? After all, the New Year is coming soon, and children have long been waiting for the most important magic - gifts.

Father Frost: I didn't forget the gifts!

Here is my bag (looks around) was somewhere!

Here under the tree, or in a snowdrift,

Or in the circus, in the wardrobe?

Well my lace is magical

Find the bag easily:

I'll throw out a fishing rod,

I'll say a few good words.

It will fall where necessary,

Everything I need will be found!

(takes out a lace)

You fly with a twisted cord,

My magical, golden,

Straighten up, lengthen

Try to find my bag!

He throws the cord into the open door and slowly pulls it back. He pulls a pan into the hall, gets angry

What are you doing, a prankster lace

Have you decided to make a joke for the holiday?

You fly in search,

Don't joke with your grandfather anymore!

Throws and pulls out his felt boots

Are you kidding again, mischief maker?

I'm not used to this!

If you don't find gifts

Come on, granddaughter, help me

Let's get together, one-two-three!

They drag a bag of gifts into the hall and distribute them to the children.

Father Frost: It's time for my granddaughter and I to hit the road. Farewell,

Both adults and kids!

Celebrate the New Year with joy,

Congratulations to everyone!

Scenario of the New Year's party for children of the senior and preparatory groups of kindergarten

Scenario for an interesting New Year's performance for a preschool educational institution. New Year's "circus performance" in kindergarten.

Children run into the hall to cheerful music and stop near the Christmas tree.

Presenter.

Hello, New Year's holiday,

Child.

What is New Year?

New Year - frost and ice,

This is the laughter of merry friends,

This is dancing near the Christmas trees.

Child.

What is New Year?

This is a friendly round dance.

These are pipes and violins,

Jokes, songs and smiles.

Presenter.

Let's go near the Christmas tree

Let's start our own round dance.

Round dance "New Year is coming to us", music. V. Gerchik.

Presenter.

Everything is unusual today -

We're having great fun!

For guests and children

The circus came to kindergarten.

Listen and watch everything -

Let's start our parade!

The sound is "March" by I. Dunaevsky from the film "Circus". Children change formations in “fours” in front of the Christmas tree. Two leading children come out.

Boy(with a "butterfly").

The program begins

Hurry to the circus, friends!

Preschool children, fathers, mothers,

All the guys: you and me!

Girl.

Here it is, our stage -

It's called an arena.

Attention! Attention!

Today is a circus, smiles, laughter

And the tree is lush for everyone.

This holiday

Let's sing a funny song!

Song "Circus tent", music. G. Lapshina, lyrics. P. Sinyavsky.

There is a round tent in the park,

A carpet was spread in the center of the tent,

No one wants to pass by -

Everyone is invited to the circus tent.

Chorus.

Here the horses dance squatting,

And dogs solve problems.

Everyone is having fun here, everyone is interested,

Please take a seat.

At the circus our hearts skip a beat,

If a trapeze artist flies,

At the circus, the clown makes the whole audience laugh,

Here even the dome shakes with laughter.

Chorus.

It's just eye-opening here

From colorful magical wonders.

How we like the circus tent,

Never forget the circus tent!

Chorus.

Then again, to the “March” of I. Dunaevsky, the children disperse and sit on chairs. Two children come out - “drummers”.

Presenter.

There are no empty seats in the circus,

Just give me the answer:

Who should come big,

With a long white beard?

Children. Father Frost!

Presenter.

Let the drum rumble -

We ask Santa Claus to come to us!

"Drummers" perform rolls on the drums. Then a Russian folk melody sounds and Father Frost comes out.

Father Frost.

Script for New Year's party CIRCUS PERFORMANCE

Children enter the hall to the music and stand around the Christmas tree (magazine “Child in the kindergarten” No. 6 2008, p. 74).

Leading: - Will Grandfather Frost really be left without a gift? Let's come up with something! What can you give to Santa Claus?

Children's suggestions.

Snow Maiden:

— Grandfather has a lot of toys and sweets.
He has sleds, skates, skis, and even a snowmobile.
Most of all he loves to be
Among joyful and cheerful people.

Leading: - Think about where Grandfather Frost can see something fun and interesting?

Children: - At the circus.

Leading: — It’s been decided: we’ll arrange a circus performance for Santa Claus.

Snow Maiden:

- We’ve just been waiting for a long time for Grandfather,
Maybe we can call out loud?
Oh, I'm seriously worried
Where are you, Grandfather Frost?

The children call Santa Claus. To the music of A. Varlamov " Russian grandfather Frost" Santa Claus enters the hall.

Father Frost:

- Hello, dear guests!
Hello my little friends!
Finally I got to you.
I hope I'm not late?

Leading: - No, Santa Claus, I’m not late. We are very glad to see you.

Father Frost:

“And I’m glad to meet you.”
Happy New Year!
I wish you all great happiness.
May this New Year
It will bring joy to all of you!
Let's all stand in a round dance,
Let's celebrate the New Year together!

Children sing the song "New Year's Dreams" (magazine " Musical director", No. 7 for 2008, p. 65).

Leading:

“You’ve found yourself in our circle, stay here.”
You won’t escape, Frost, no matter how hard you try!

The game “We won’t let you out” is being played.

Father Frost:

- As soon as I blow, I’ll whistle
Let me bring in the frost,
I'll freeze everyone.
One, two, three, (Knocks with staff.)
Snowy figure, freeze!

Children freeze in various positions. Santa Claus guesses what they wanted to depict.

Father Frost:

- One, two, three, four, five, (Knocks with a staff.)
We can dance again.

Leading:

“The children have forgotten how to dance.” Remind them, Santa Claus!
Dance for us, show your prowess.

Santa Claus dances to the tune of a Russian folk dance.

Snow Maiden: - How merrily you danced!

Santa Claus: - I'm tired, tired.

Leading: - Sit down, relax, and listen to poetry.

Children read poetry.

Father Frost:

— You know a lot of poems and read them well.
And I stayed with you, it’s time to know the honor.
I’ll give you gifts, and I’ll go to my icy mansion..

The children, sitting in their seats, whisper to each other, the lights on the tree go out.

Father Frost:

-What are you guys whispering?
What's your secret there?

Child:

- We want to arrange a surprise,
Nothing more surprising!

Leading: — The children have prepared a gift for you - a circus performance.

Father Frost:

- Circus? What is this? Fine.
Granddaughter, let's sit and look at this miracle.

Father Frost and Snow Maiden sit down with the children.

Leading: — Our New Year’s circus program will be hosted by clowns Bom and Bim. Let's welcome them.

To the music, clowns run into the hall, run around the Christmas tree and stop in the center of the hall.

Bim:

- Circus! Circus! Circus!
The circus is great! It's festive and bright everywhere!

Bom:

- Cheerful laughter rings here!
Acrobats and jugglers,
Trainers, dancers
Everyone is invited to visit!

Bim and Bom: - Welcome! The circus lights up!

The lights on the Christmas tree are lit.

Bim:

- Circus performance!
The fun begins
It's also New Year at the circus,
So get up in a round dance.

Children sing the song "New Year's Wish."

Bom:

— Ballerinas on the ropes,
Like light snowflakes
And they dance and twirl,
And at the same time they are not afraid!

Girls show an acrobatic sketch.

Bim:

— Figure skating in fashion
And revered by the people.
Today we have countless “stars”,
So, there is a proposal:
Let's start the competition now
Figure skating!

Bom: - And Santa Claus is on our jury, so look carefully.

Children in pairs pretend to be figure skaters. Father Frost and Snow Maiden give grades.

Father Frost:

- “6.0” to everyone, everyone, without exception!
We do not hide our admiration!

Bim:

- For the first time and only now
Strongmen are in the arena with us!

The boys show an acrobatic sketch.

Father Frost:

- Oh, how fun you are! Don't sit still
I also want to perform, only with you.

Snow Maiden:

“You can’t tumble like that.”
Your back will hurt
Maybe I’ll remain in the audience...

Father Frost:

- No, you, granddaughter, are wrong.
Guys, I'm an old grandfather,
I'm many, many years old
But I come to a holiday,
I'll start the games right away
Who wants to play?
Let's go roll a snowball?

He chooses two children who roll two balls covered with white cloth around the tree in different directions. The game is played at speed.

Father Frost:

- Now everyone come out,
Show your prowess.

Snow Maiden:

- Stand around the Christmas tree,
Play with my grandfather.

The game “You, frost!” is played. At the end of the game, Santa Claus catches up with the children, and they run away to their chairs.

Father Frost:

- Somehow my parents are bored,
Apparently, we haven’t played with children for a long time,
Guys, sort out the snowballs,
Let's play with the adults.

There is a snowball fight. Children throw snowballs at their parents, and they throw them at them. After the game, Santa Claus asks the children to collect snowballs in a basket.

Father Frost:

- Oh, I’m a little tired, I guess
I'll sit with the people again.

Sits down in the auditorium.

Bom:

— The children dressed up brightly,
They began to spin quickly in the dance.

Children perform couples dance to the music of A. Varlamov “Round Dance”.

Bim:

- The show is over,
It's time for us to say goodbye.
Spectators, clap
Happy circus performers!

The clowns leave to the music.

Father Frost: - You showed a wonderful performance - this is the best gift for me, I even took part myself. And he clapped so much that it even became hot. I think I'm starting to melt...

Snow Maiden:

“I’ll help you, grandpa, and turn all the girls into snowflakes.”
Girls, spin three times and turn into snowflakes.

Girls dance the snowflake dance.

Father Frost:

- Now it’s a different matter, everything immediately froze...
But it’s time for us, granddaughter, to get ready and hit the road!

Snow Maiden: - Grandfather, have you forgotten anything? The children gave you a gift, and have you prepared anything for them?

Father Frost:

- Here I am old, my head has a hole,
I forgot about the gifts, granddaughter,
My bag was here somewhere!
Here under the tree, or in a snowdrift,
Or in the circus, in the wardrobe?
Well, my magic lace
Find the bag easily:
It’s like I’m throwing a fishing rod,
I'll find a few good words.
Where it needs to fall,
Everything I need will be found for me!

Unties a long shiny cord from his belt.

Father Frost:

- You fly, twisted cord,
My magical, golden,
Straighten up, lengthen up,
Try to find my bag!

He throws the cord into the open door and slowly pulls it back. He pulls the pan into the room, looking angrily at the cord.

Father Frost:

- What are you doing, you naughty little lace?
Have you decided to make a joke for the holiday?
You fly in search,
Don't joke with your grandfather anymore!

He throws the cord back on, pulls his felt boots into the hall, and gets angry.

Father Frost:

- Are you joking again, mischief maker?
I'm not used to this!
If you can't find gifts,
You won't go with me anymore!

They throw the cord again, and together with the Snow Maiden, they pull the bag into the hall. Gives gifts to children.

Father Frost:

“It’s time for my granddaughter and I to hit the road.” Farewell,
Both adults and kids!
Celebrate the New Year with joy,
Congratulations to everyone!

To the music, Father Frost and Snow Maiden leave.

Acrobats walk on a tightrope as if they were walking on the ground.

And here the dogs solve very complex problems.

Elephant dancing krakowiak, parrot screams: “Not like that!”

2. But two hours pass, miracles disappear.

The light under the roof quietly goes out, everyone goes home...

We are strong guys

We bend iron into rolls,

PANTOMIME DANCE "THE STRONGEST"

game "Clown"

Red-haired, freckled clown - they stroke themselves on the head, show freckles,

The guys really like it. - three claps

Nose like a red tomato. - stroke the nose alternately with hands

And there is enthusiasm in his eyes. - using hands to depict eyes and clap eyelashes - fingers

Tears flow like a faucet - “they collect the tears in the palm of their hand”

In multi-colored pockets. – show palm-to-hip pockets.

And in the pockets, here and there, the hands are folded into a “bud”, raised up, and the “petals” open.

Red roses are growing.

Now he cries, now he laughs - index fingers vertically to his eyes, then to his lips.

Either he is kind, or he fights - they stroke their hands, then throw their fists forward.

Oh, how clumsy he is - his hands on his belt, his body tilting left and right.

But that’s how everyone needs him. – arms are crossed on the chest, to the sides and on the belt.

Then the clowns hug, praise each other, and say that they are the best.

REPRISE WITH ROPE

Ved: We continue circus performance!

The number is called – graceful gymnasts!

DANCE with hoops

Ved: The first part is finished... our idea

I announce an intermission, but don’t invite you to the buffet...

I see that the audience is happy, they feel good and at ease here,

Is no one going to leave? Tell me quickly, do you like it here?

And we like both a compliment and stormy applause (applause)

Now, viewers, don't yawn.

Answer questions together:

What attracts us with such lights?

Spectators: Circus! Circus! Circus!

He makes me and my friends happy

Spectators: Circus! Circus! Circus!

Will cheer everyone up
