HALLOWEEN

LEADER 1 : Good afternoon everybody!

LEADER 2 : We are happy to see you here.

LEADER 1 : The clock strikes twelve on Halloween night.

        The goblins are ready to take off in flight!

       The bats are all circling the bell tower light.

       Don’t forget it’s Halloween night.

LEADER 2 : Let’s sing a song “Trick or treat”

              (four witches appear)

WITCH 1 : My name is Baba – Yaga 1 and I’m the greatest  fairy in the world. I want to make people happy. I am a kind fairy.

WITCH 2 : You are wrong. I am the greatest witch in the world and I don’t want you to live in my country. It must be dark in my country. We must live in dark.

WITCH 3 : I am the greatest witch here. You must be afraid of me. Many years ago in Ireland, the 31^st of October was the last day of the year and we, the witches, got a lot of presents from ghosts, pirates and goblins.

WITCH 4 : Stop talking. We must be friendly. We shall live in piece. Let’s sing a song “Together”.

PUPIL 1 : Witches, ghosts and goblins,

Stealing down the street,

Knock on every door way, “Trick or treat”!

When your door is opened, this is what you meet,

People shouting, “Trick or treat”.

PUPIL 2 : Now Halloween is celebrated on the 31^st of October. Children go from house to house and say “Trick or treat”. People give them sweets, cookies or money. There is “Jack – o – lantern” on the window.

                                (страшная музыка)

JACK : Hello, dear boys and girls! Don’t be afraid of me. My name is Jack I lived many years ago. I was not a good man during my life and God punished me. So I must go around the earth and carry a lantern from a pumpkin. I cut out holes for two eyes, a nose and a mouth and put a candle inside. I like to play jokes on the devil. I want to tell you a story.

            In the dark, dark wood

           There was a dark, dark house.

           And in the dark, dark house

           There was  a dark, dark room.

            And in that dark, dark room

           There was a dark, dark bookcase.

            And in that dark, dark bookcase

            There was a dark, dark box.

           And in that dark, dark box

           There was a GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!

LEADER 1 : Now it’s time to play. With your eyes closed you’re to cut a prize.

 

LEADER 2 : Here is a horoscope for every person. Take a sheet of paper from the box and read it.

Aries

March 20 - April 19

Halloween masks featuring past presidents and circus animals are well starred, however avoid masks of George  Bush, including any of his administration, as there is a risk of buckets of water (or sand) being thrown from upper windows if you do not live in the USA. Favour houses with more than three pumpkins around the door.              

Taurus

April 20 - May 19

Beware red candy in all of its forms, especially lollipops with transparent wrappings, given to you by old ladies with kindly eyes and a limp. Today your lucky trick or treat house number will include a 6. Ensure any calls on houses with yellow curtains are only attempted after the hour of 7pm.

Gemini

May 20-June 20

Use any bad weather, especially unexpectedly violent downpours (we might as well include buckets of water from your high window flinging critics here too) as an aid in your trick or treat blackmailing aims. Whilst, to you, it will feel uncomfortably wet, to your potential treaters it looks unbelievably cute - treats will freely jump from their impressed hands. Your lucky trick or treat house number includes a 2 which is slightly askew.             

 

Cancer

June 21-July 21

During the dressing-up phase of your trick or treating, a well loved relation will offer inappropriate red-glossy-lipstick-around-the-mouth advice (they are being influenced by inaccurate memories of their youth - you know what grown ups are like). At all costs, determinedly refuse to apply any makeup donated by relatives who have recently died, even though the irony of this pleases the planets. Your lucky house number is a house with no number...              

 

Leo

July 22-August 22

Your Egyptian trick or treat theme is ill starred - you should have gone for that Dracula costume suggested to you during one of Mercury's creative moments of retrograde. Force your dog (aka camel) to relieve himself before putting on the humps lest you run the ancient risk of being cursed for moments of disgrace at strangers doors. Your lucky house decoration is flashing irregularly.             

 

 

 

Virgo

August 23-Sept 21

The fireworks your older brother gave you for your attack on houses whose inhabitants are rude when they answer the door should be kept in an airtight, metal, box before lighting. Remember when lighting fireworks: Light at arms length, stand well back, and never return to a house you have launched a firework at.              

Libra

Sept 22-Oct 22

Your Libran tendency to bully smaller children will be put to good use during your trick or treat endeavours tonight. Always ensure you, alone, are responsible for the candy bag at all times. Remember that real trick or treat power lies in the distribution of the candy at the end of the night...             

Scorpio

Oct 23-Nov 21

Last year's trick or treat running street battles left much simmering resentment, plan for retribution and do not be afraid to accept offers of overwhelming protection from older brothers, sisters, overly protective parents, the military, or anyone who can do that really cool flying back-flip punch without the yelp.              

 

Sagittarius

Nov 22-Dec 21

Following last year's trick or treat outing, which quickly degenerated into a campaign of setting off car alarms, expect some form of retribution which the stars are unable to offer accurate advice on. Luckily, at your age, the hand prints left on the cars last year will not be traceable to you or your buddies - any grown up who says anything different is bluffing. Take the candy and run, ensuring your nominated tester tries everything before it is consumed by other gang members higher up in the hierarchy.             

Capricorn

Dec 22-Jan 19

This year's Marilyn Mansen Halloween outfits are set to impress everyone you see, and will hold you in particularly good stead with a local chapter of the Hells Angels (and most other bike-based ruffians). However, no matter how persuasively they beg you, do not allow them to accompany you in your trick or treating - on the one hand you will get a better than usual catch of candy, however they will take more than their fair share in payment at the end of the night.             

 

Aquarius

Jan 20-Feb 17

Your (at the time seemingly brilliant) idea of washing windscreens dressed in Halloween costumes at a popular road junction is doomed to failure on many levels. Unbeknownst to you, but beknownst to the local police, there have been a spate of violent attacks in your area by grown ups doing exactly (in exactly every detail) what you are intending to do. Your only defence is your shortness. Enjoy this period of height based disability as it will not last.             

 

Pisces

Feb 18-March 19

Whilst what your parents have told you is true (that you should run away, screaming, if you feel threatened during trick or treating*) it is also a fact that most really scary / threatening people overcompensate for their scariness with generous treats at this, their favourite, time of the year. Clearly this is only true if they don't kill you first. Use local crime statistics to guide you in your running away / screaming decisions.

 

WITCH 1 : There was an old man all skin and bones.

                   0 - - -O – O – O –

                  She lived down by the old graveyard….

                  One night she thought she’d take a walk….

                  She walked down by the old graveyard…….

                 She saw the bones a-laying around…..

                  She went to the  closet to get a broom…..

                  She opened the door and BOO!

WITCH 2 : Halloween is coming

                    What will you be?

                   It’s a secret,

                    So, wait and see!

WITCH 3 : Halloween  is coming.

                    What will you see?

                    I might see a jack – o – lantern

                   Winking at me.

WITCH 4 : Halloween is coming.

                    What will you be?

                    I might go trick or treating

                    How about you?

PUPIL 1 : Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

                 How I wonder what you are!

                 Up above the world so high,

                 Like a diamond in the sky.

                 When the blazing sun is gone,

                 When the nothing shines upon,

                 Then you show your little light,

                 Twinkle, twinkle, all the night!

PUPIL 2: Ghosts and witches

                 Can be see.

                 Trick or treat

                 Trick or treat

                Give us something

                Good to eat!

                The sky is blue

                The sky is green

                 Have you got a penny?

                For Halloween!

LEADER 1 : Halloween! Halloween!

                       It’s a holiday!

                      So bright and gay,

                      So bright and gay –

                     It’s a holiday.

LEADER 2 :Halloween! Halloween!

                     Time has come

                     For all to play

                     For all to play

                    It’s a holiday! Good bye!!!!!!!!
