The Thanksgiving Day
The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest is all gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain.
So open wide the doorway-
Thanksgiving comes again!
The Pilgrims came across the sea,
And never thought of you and me;
And yet it's very strange the way
We think of them Thanksgiving day.
We tell their story, old and true
Of how they sailed across the blue,
And found a new land to be free
And built their homes quite near the sea.
Story-teller: День подяки – це американське свято. Його святкують кожного року в четвертий четвер листопаду. А як виник день подяки? А почалося все ще в 17 столітті, коли відбувся перший святковий обід на честь подяки Богу.
Story-teller: Dear boys and girls! Dear guests! We are here to celebrate a wonderful holiday - Thanksgiving Day. Happy Thanksgiving Day to you!
Thanksgiving Day comes on the 4th Thursday in November. It is a legal holiday celebrated throughout the United States. People of all faiths celebrate this holiday. They give thanks for the many good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving Day, families come together for a special dinner (feast). Turkey with stuffing is the main dish. It is served with mashed potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Apple cider is the drink of the day.
Story-teller: For many schools, the Thanksgiving Day game is the most important one of the year. Stores, classrooms, and homes are decorated with turkeys, pilgrims, Indians, wreaths of dried flowers and vegetables. Horns of plenty are also very popular. Charitable organizations serve dinner to needy people. They also send baskets of food to elderly and sick. And now we are going to show you a performance about the history of Thanksgiving Day.
Story-teller: А почалося все з того, що бідні люди в Англії не могли терпіти знущання свого короля, який примушував їх прийняти іншу віру. І от у 1960 році найсміливіші люди вирушили до нового світу на кораблі Мейфлаве , на континент сучасної Америки. На борту корабля було 102 мандрівника-пілігрима. Вони перетинали Атлантичний океан 2 місяці в надзвичайно складних умовах. За бортом вирував шторм.
Story-teller: On September 16, 1620 the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England. The ship was called the Mayflower, they landed at Plymouth Rock, in Massachusetts, on December 26, 1620.
Pilgrim 1: Oh, I see a land! Look!
All Pilgrims: Land! Hurrah! Land!
Pilgrim 2: Look! There are people there. They welcome us.
The Indian Leader: Welcome to our land! Who are you? Where are you from?
Pilgrim 3: We are Pilgrims. We are from England. We have come for new lives. And who are you?
Indian 1: We are Indians. We have been living here for a long time. You may stay here and live on our land.
Pilgrims: Thank you very much!
Story-teller: The first winter was a terrible time. The Pilgrims were hungry, sick and cold. Many people died. Then the Native Americans, the Indians, helped the Pilgrims.
1Pilgrim We have nothing to eat. Many people have died and many are sick. What shall we do?
(З’являються індіанці з кошиками з їдою).
Indian 2: Hello! We have brought food to you: bread, vegetables, fruit, corn, and other things.
Pilgrim 2: Oh! Thank you very much! You have saved our lives! We’ll never forget you!
SONG: LITTLE PILGRIM
Little Pilgrim clothed in gray
on that first Thanksgiving Day.
Natives also clothed in brown,
come to visit Plymouth Town.
Side by side they ate and prayed,
on that First Thanksgiving Day.
Let's be thankful for this day,
for our friends and our play.
Let's be thankful, let's be glad,
for our food and the things we have.
Let's give thanks for you and me,
And our home and family.
The pilgrim children
Long ago
Learned to live
With ice and snow
They lived in cabins,
Slept in cold
When nights were long
And winds blew cold
But all of them
Were glad, I'd say
To have that first
Thanksgiving Day
And when they went
To bed at night
I'd guess their dreams
Were warm and bright
Story-teller: Spring came. One day a kind Indian came to the village.
The INDIAN Leader : Hello People. I want to offer you my help.
Pilgrim 3: Welcome to our village. We appreciate your help.
Story-teller: Soon more Indians came.
INDIANS: We can show you how to grow your own food.
Pilgrim 1: Please, tell us how.
Indian 3: These are corn seeds. This is how you should plant them.
Story-teller: And the Indians showed the pilgrims how to plant corn, and wheat, and other vegetables.
Indian 1: I want to be your friend. We also want to teach you how to hunt and fish.
Indian2: We will hunt wild animals and turkey. Come let´s go to the forest.
Story-teller: The crops did well, and in the fall (autumn) of 1621 the Pilgrims had a great harvest. They were very thankful and decided to celebrate with a feast. The Pilgrims invited the Indian friends to share this Thanksgiving feast.
Pilgrim 2: Welcome to our Thanksgiving feast! We are grateful to you for many things. But the main is: you helped us when we suffered greatly. And we’ll never forget those days!
Pilgrim 3: Orange is a pumpkin.
Yellow is the corn.
Brown is the turkey
with stuffing to adorn.
Pilgrim 1:Red are the cranberries.
Green are the beans.
Five delicious colors
in a feast of my dreams.
The Indian Leader:
Lay the table with rich treat,
And gather all of us to the feast,
Raise a toast to the persistent pilgrims
Whose courage only increase.

Pilgrim 2: Oh, Thanks God, we have gathered a rich harvest. Nobody will be hungry this winter.
Pilgrim 3: There is plenty of food for our feast. Cucumber, carrots, cabbages, turnips, radishes, onions and beets.
Pilgrim 1: Our men hunted wild turkeys, geese and ducks.
Pilgrim 2: This isn’t just a turkey
As everyone can see
I made it with my hand
Which is part of me!
Pilgrim 3: It comes with lots of love
Especially to say
I hope that you have
Great Thanksgiving Day!
Pilgrim1: It's happy Thanksgiving,

We're going to dinner
With family today.
