ХІД ЗАХОДУ

Теасher: Dear Friends! Ladies and Gentlemen, Children and Grown-ups!

I think you now such English proverb: “So many countries so many customs”. Today we are going to speak about English holidays and traditions. You will read some interesting texts about them, do interesting tasks.

I prefer holidays to days off because they have their special coloring. By the way, the word “holiday” comes from the words “holy” and “day”. Holidays were originally religious festivals, but now many of them have nothing in common with the religion.

 

Teacher:    Tell me what holidays you know.

Pupils:   Mother’s Day, All Fool’s Day, New Year, Birthday, Christmas, Halloween,  Easter, Saint Valentine Day, Thanksgiving Day.

Teacher:    Thank you. Now  you are to read the descriptions of the holiday and to guess which holidays are described.

• This is the day, on which practical jokes are played. It is a very old custom. (All Fool’s Day).
• This holiday is traditionally observed on the second Sunday of March. It dates from the time when many girls worked away from home. (Mother’s Day).
• This is a day when many people try to be with their families. For most British families, this is the most important festival of the year. (Christmas).
• In Great Britain this holiday is not as widely celebrated as Christmas. People may decorate their fir-tree. (New Year).
• In England it is time for giving presents which traditionally takes the form of the egg. (Easter).
• There is a holiday for children in England in autumn. It is on the 31^st of October. It is the night for ghosts and witches. (Halloween).

 

Teacher:  And now you are to match dialogues with dialogues. Then we will act them.

Teacher:  Round 1

Halloween

There is a nice holiday for children in England and America in autumn. It is Halloween. It is on the thirty-first of October. On this day boys and girls put on old and funny clothes. Children may be witches, ghosts, kings and others.

People put pumpkins on the window-sills. They cut eyes, noses and mouths in the pumpkins. Then they put candles into them. So the pumpkin looks like a face.

The children go from house to house and knock at the doors. They say, "Trick or treat".

People give them sweets, fruit, cakes and many other tasty things. This is a nice, fun and tasty autumn holiday.

Teacher:   And now let us have a rest . Let’s play an acting game.

 ( Halloween, presents, a candle, a birthday, Saint Valentine Day, a cake, a ghost)

Teacher:  And now let us read the story of Valentine’s Day.

In Roman times people celebrated a festival of love in the month of February. The festival was called Lupercalia. It was the festival of the Roman gods. Young men and young women played games to find a wife or a husband. In early times Valentine was a holy man. He was killed for his beliefs. Before he died he wrote a message on the prison wall. The message was for the woman he loved and he signed the message “Your Valentine”. All people in the world celebrated Saint Valentine’s Day on the fourteenth of February. It became the festival of lovers. Young men write poems to give to young women. Girls make cards to give to the young men. The sender of the card is a secret. People never sign the cards. Now you can present  different things, for example, a heart-shaped balloon, a valentine card or twelve red roses

Teacher:  Facts about Saint Valentine’s Day in the USA: 63% of Americans celebrate it; American youth sent 750 mln. Valentines; 43% of Americans present candies. How this day is celebrated in Ukraine? Is Saint Valentine’s day celebrate the same     way    in our country? 

Teacher:   So, this is the day for the couples and our contest also will be in couples. And your first task will be to make up as many words as possible using the letters of this expression “Saint Valentine’s Day”

Teacher:   What are the symbols of this holiday? And now the task will be to find and match words with similar meanings. The quickest couple will get a heart.

A part of your body	chocolates
A kind of candy	Cupid
