The end of May is a joyful event for many children and parents: the end of grade 1. A holiday on this occasion must be arranged! After all, first-graders are a special people. Studying at school for them is still a kind of game. A whole school year has passed. During this time, children got used to new conditions, rules and regulations, received new knowledge and learned a lot.
Holiday - to be!
In order to demonstrate the skills of children, it is possible to conduct not only an open lesson for parents, the teacher can also use such forms as a joint game, a master class, a meeting, a celebration. The end of grade 1 is a certain feature in the life of young schoolchildren. What will be remembered for this period of study? What is the mood for children going on vacation? The answer to these questions will depend on how the results are summed up.
Rehearsals or impromptu?
Traditionally, teachers and parents at the end of the school year arrange for children a celebration of graduation from grade 1. You can create a scenario for such an event yourself or use the form proposed in our article. Sometimes parents and teachers compose an event in such a way that only poems and songs performed by children alternate in it, and only a small surprise moment brightens up such a concert. It is worth considering whether this scenario is festive? Indeed, if everything is rehearsed, and the children know in advance who is following whom, what they read or sing, then for them it will be another “lesson”, albeit an open one, with the invitation of their parents. Another form of carrying out will be much more interesting to children. For example, a journey.
Further in the article, we bring to your attention the author’s script of the holiday dedicated to the end of grade 1.
Vacation Island Invitation
The hall or class is decorated in accordance with the marine theme. The captain goes out to the funky music.
Greetings, you are! Glad to see you all on the deck of our ship. What are you so beautiful and smart today? Well, admit, for what reason are you here?
Children are responsible.
Do you have a holiday dedicated to the end of grade 1? Wow! It's great, but what will happen to you next? Have you moved to second grade? Are you getting started tomorrow? Ah, ahead of the holidays! And I'm just heading for the Vacation Island. Do you want with me? True, the road there is confusing, but somehow we get there!
The captain directs everything on the ship, and who is at your school? Teacher? Sailors pay respect to their boss, do you want, and I’ll teach you how to respect a teacher? Then urgently ask everyone to whistle up! Who does not understand - please get up!
Now open your eyes, but stronger! Spread your shoulders, but wider! Chest forward, rounder! Inflate your stomach so much more! Here! And now you need to smile and say out loud: "Hello!".
Well done! Please respectfully sit down.
I see that you know how to respect elders! I’m taking you to my crew, but first I have to get to know you a little better.
The game "Answer aloud" I! "
Team, get built! Raise your hand and say out loud: "I!". Great, you'll answer like that when I ask.
Who likes to eat marmalade? Grapes? Butterscotch? Lakes out of a bowl? Who loves an orange? Mandarin? Pears? Doesn't wash his ears? Who likes pomegranate? Chocolate? Cinema? Broke the window? Who loves a cake? Ice cream? Plum? Already drinking beer? Who likes strawberries? Strawberries? Banana? And who is stubborn like a ram?
Fine! Now I can take you to my crew. The main thing on the ship is discipline. Orders are not discussed, but executed. Remember the orders.
Game "Orders on the ship"
If I say: “Left steering!” You should take a step to the left (try), and when I say “Right steering!”, In the other direction. What is the name of the front of the ship? Right, nose. Hear this word - take a step forward. The back is feed. So take a step back. And on the command "Admiral on board!" You should freeze, standing at attention, and saluting. Do you remember everything? Then we begin!
The captain gives orders in any order, the children perform movements. When they master the teams well, you can specially complicate the tasks, showing one and doing the other. During this game, music sounds in the background.
Captain: Well, we're off! I hope you can swim?
To the song “Wave” from the repertoire of the group “Barbariki”, the children follow each other's movements imitating swimming, draw wave-like lines in the air in front of themselves with their hands and “dive”, crouching “to the bottom”.
Sounds music, a pirate comes out.
Pirate: A thousand devils! Who did it bring to our seas? Well, answer, who are you, what are you doing here?
Captain: A vessel under my command makes a voyage to the island of Vacation. The crew are great guys. They have a holiday: the end of the school year in 1 grade!
Pirate: What is it? Why do you need a school? For example, this is useless to me. Let me stop: I am a pirate, a storm of the seas! Rivers and oceans are my teachers. I am here all-all reefs and shallows know. Without me, you can’t get to the Vacation Island.
Captain: Listen, pirate! The guys have an important event in life: the end of grade 1, a holiday! Can you help us?
Pirate: So be it! I know the fairway and lead you through the seas! Get up all over me.
The game "By the seas, by the waves!"
Now we will sail several seas at once. They are all different, so you need to swim in different ways. You have to answer me together “we’ll go!” When I ask you. The first sea is the sea of the Ruchkin. Hold hands Will we go into the sea of Ruchkins?
Children and Captain: Come on!
I am a pirate, a thunderstorm of the seas.
We lead the ship along the seas.
In the sea ... shall we go?
Children: Come on!
The pirate leads the children, each time changing the name. For example, he calls the Loktev Sea, where children are taken under arms, clutching their elbows. You can call the sea of Shoulders, Spinkins, Ushkins, Shchechkins and so on.
Island school knowledge
Further, according to the scenario, the children find themselves on various islands. In order to swim past them to the island of Vacation, they perform various kinds of tasks. It can be islands of mathematics, drawing, physical education and other lessons. This development of the celebration of graduation from grade 1 will allow children to reinforce in play form what they have been learning for a year. For example, on Chitaniki Island, first-graders will solve funny puzzles and examples that will require not only counting skills, but also ingenuity. On the island of Gramoteev, they will find the missing letters and make up words from them. On the island of Krasok, a fun contest with collective drawing.
Here are a few points that may be included in the scenario of a children's holiday. The end of grade 1 is a great occasion for fun.
Secret message
Three volunteers are needed for the competition. Each of them is given a secret letter - a sheet with some kind of image. The participants are given the task: they must destroy the message in 5 seconds, tearing it as small as possible so that no one sees the image. After this, it is announced that the winner is the one who first collects his sheet back.
Happy singing
Children should understand that the end of grade 1 is a holiday! Songs on this day should sound fun and loud. You can arrange a song contest. One team is invited to sing a line from a song, the second team - an excerpt from another song. First, at the direction of the lead team, they sing in turn, then they sing together, each his own. It turns out noisy and fun.
Let's be honest
The host invites the children to tell the whole truth about everyone they know. He begins the sentence, and the children continue:
Leading. First let the boys answer. All the girls are the most ...
And now, girls, what do you say? All the boys in our class are the most ...
Let's guys say together what we think about adults. And our parents are the most ... and our teacher is the most ..., our school is the most ... and our class is the most ...
Parents and teachers must try to make the end of grade 1 memorable for children. The holiday should end with the arrival on the island of Vacation.
Summer jump
Pirate: A thousand devils! Finally, we have reached the goal of our voyage - here it is, Vacation Island! Karamba!
Captain: So far I have not swum. Thank you guys helped!
Pirate: Before you go ashore, prepare.
Captain: Whistle everyone up! Team, get built! Far left behind are the days of your first grade. Probably a fair wind did not always blow in this voyage? Surely, there were reefs and shallows. I suggest you remember everything that interfered with and didn’t like you.
Children remember and list everything that they did not like: broken pencils, difficult puzzles, and more.
Pirate: Now fold it all up and throw it overboard! Shake your hands to shake off the remnants of difficulties! We are now free from them (you can fulfill this moment against the backdrop of energetic music).
Captain: Well, now that all the troubles are thrown out, we remarkably marked the end of Grade 1. The holiday is drawing to a close, and it's time for a solemn moment - a summer jump!
Pirate: Look at this bright ribbon (it lies on the floor in front of the lined up children). You must jump over her at my command in unison. Look carefully at your friends. You will no longer see each other as first graders. In a minute you will find yourself on a vacation island, and from it you will come to school as second-grade students. Ready to jump?
Captain: Counting everything together. Three two one. Holidays! (This point is good to supplement with music, fanfare, a clapper board with confetti).
We hope that our article will help you organize the celebration of the end of 1st grade. The scenario proposed by us can easily be modified and supplemented with your materials. Let the first-graders in an excellent mood complete the first school year and have a vacation!
