ХІД ПРОВЕДЕННЯ:

 

Leader 1: Dear Friends! You are welcome to our party, dedicated to St. Valentine's Day, which is always held on February 14th and brings us happiness and good luck. St. Valentine is one of the popular holidays in Europe and America. It is the day, when boys and girls, sweethearts and lovers, husbands and wives, friends and neighbours, and even the office staff, exchange greetings of affection, undying love or satirical comment. On that day people send Valentines, special cards with messages, to their wives and husbands, relatives and even neighbours. Traditionally, you must never write your name on it. Merry Valentines have remarkable poems, others are humorous. Almost all of them ask «Be my Valentine».

Leader 2: Love! Happiness! Beauty! There are not so many days in a year when we pronounce these pleasant words. Today you have an excellent chance to take part in party — games. Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Звучить пісня: «Му heart will go on» .

Учні виходять поперед класу та декламують вірші, присвячені Дню св. Валентина.

Pupil 1:

«St. Valentine's Day»

Je t'aime. Te amo, Я тебя люблю. Ich liebe dich. I love you.

The sounds are all as different

As the lands from which they came,

And though our words are all unique, Our hearts are still the same.

Love in any language,

Straight from the heart,

Pulls us all together, never apart;

And once we learn to speak it

All the world will hear.

Love in any language,

Fluently spoken here.

 

Pupil 3:

Love, What Is Love

LOVE — what is love? A great and aching heart;

 Wrung hands; and silence; and a long despair.

Life — what is life? Upon a moorland bare

To see love coming and see love depart.

(by Robert Louis Stevenson)

Виходять два учня на сцену.

Pupil 5: Weeks before the fourteenth of February, shop windows are decorated with red paper hearts, red streamers and boxes of chocolates. Heart-shaped cakes and sweets are baked and gifts such as perfume and jewellery are promoted by department stores. Red roses are ordered from florists, dinner reservations are made and presents are bought in preparation for Valentine's Day. Even cards and small gifts are made by young children at school.

Pupil 6: On Valentines' Day, many people wear something red, since it is considered to be the colour of love. Gifts, wrapped in shiny paper and red ribbons, are exchanged, women receive bouquets of flowers and people express their feelings to their loved ones. In the evening, many couples choose to dine at romantic restaurants while others enjoy spending time together at home, Valentine's Day is a time to let people know how much you love and appreciate them. It is a day that makes everyone feel romantic and happy.

Leader 1: (звертається до аудиторії) St. Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends. But we prefer the following one.

Три учня виконують сценку.

Scene:

Author: Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believed in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown to prison for his teaching. Moreover, the emperor forbade all the men to get married because he was sure that marriage makes men weaker and he needed only strong men. But Valentine broke the law and was beheaded.

A Roman: Valentine, you are accused of spreading your false ideas. Besides, you secretly married couples, counter to the laws of the Roman emperor. Tomorrow, on the 14th of February, you will be executed. We'll fulfill your last wish.

Valentine: I'd like to write a farewell letter to the jailer's daughter.

«My sweetheart!

Tomorrow we 'll part forever. Thank you for your kind heart and tenderness. In this dark jail our hearts were touched by the fire of love and truth. May God bless you with wisdom and compassion.

Your Valentine».

Author: Years passed. Valentine became a saint. St. Valentine's now is a day for sweethearts. You can show your love to a person by sending presents, flowers or «Valentines», greeting cards named after the message that St. Valentine wrote from his Jail.

Грає пісня «Only you» by Elvis Presley. Всі учні залишають сцену.

Leader 2: So, dear students, you've just got to know the history of this day. Divide into two teams and choose captains. And now I need both captains from each team. You will take part in such competition: I will give you the sentences with one word missing, and different answers to them. You have to choose the correct one.

Leader 2: And now, please, have a look at these pieces of paper. You should find the Valentine's Day Words. The team that finds more words will be the winner.

Leader 1: Let’s play a game. Take letter from each of the five-letter words below to leave five four-letter words. Then write each of the deleted letters into the relevant empty boxes on the right to form a new five letter word reading down the right-hand column. Can you tell us what this new word is?

Clue: A famous lover.

Answer: Romeo

Leader 1: There is still another tradition connected with this holiday celebration in the USA. It is believed here that a young girl is able to tell what type of a man she will marry by the first bird she sees on this day. Each bird has an association with a profession or type of character. Let's have a matching game. Match the birds to the professions. If you are right, you'll get your valentine.

Keys: 

a goldfish — a rich man a dove — a good man

a sparrow — a farmer a redbreast — a sailor

a bluebird — a happy man a woodpecker — no husband

Leader 2: Put the letter in the right order and fill in the blanks.

Leader: And now we should select our Valentine couple. I roll the cards, on two of them write the name “Valentine”, you take one of them (boys and girls take the cards separately). The boy and the girl to have the “Valentine” cards are crowned to be the Valentine couple.

Leader 2: To crown our fest we will listen to the song about love and sing it.

The song «Love me tender" by Elvis Presley is playing.

LOVE ME, TENDER

Love me, tender, love me sweet.

Never let me go.

You have made my life complete,

And I love you so.

Love me, tender, love me true

 All my dreams fulfill,

For my darling, l love you too,

And I always will,

Love me, tender, love me long,

Take me to your heart.

For its tender I belong,

And we will never part

 Love me, tender, love me, dear,

Tell me, you are mine.

 I'll be yours for all the years,

Till the end of times.

All the students listen to the tape with the song. Then they sing it all together.

Leader 2: Our party is over. But remember — Love is one of the best feelings. It is unique and eternal as our life. It rules the world; it makes the world go round. It is beyond the age and time. So let's love and be loved by others. And our earth will become more beautiful and kinder.
