2. Основная часть урока  

  Слайд 7-8: Let’s read and understand new information about Easter in England and Russia. ( рассказ учителя о празднике)

What is Easter?

 Easter is the most important Christian festival. Christians are followers of Jesus Christ who lived about 2000 years ago in a country called Palestine.

They believe that Jesus was the son of God. At Easter time Christians remember the last week of Jesus' life and celebrate his Resurrection.

Слайд 9 : When do they celebrate Easter?

In fact not only is Easter a movable feast but it happens on different dates depending on where in the world you live. The reason for this is that in western churches such as in the UK, America and Australia, we use the Gregorian calendar rather than the Julian calendar used in eastern churches.

Teacher:  What are the differences between Russian and British Easter traditions .  And what are Easter symbols? What do people usually eat on Easter Sunday ?  What are the most important days of  Easter? Don’t you know?

Слайды 10-18: Easter traditions. Easter symbols.

Easter day in Britain has a lot of traditions.The three most important days are: Maundy Thursday (Великий четверг),Good Friday (Страстная пятница),
Easter Sunday (Пасхальное воскресенье).  On Maundy Thursday the king or a queen of England gives money to poor people. The tradition is very old. On Good Friday people eat fish instead of meat. They also eat special hot cakes with a cross on the top. They call these cakes hot cross buns.

Hot cross buns

 One a penny, two a penny

 Hot cross buns.

 Give them to your daughters,

  Give them to your sons

 One a penny

 Two a penny

 Hot cross buns.

One of the oldest spring symbols in the world is the egg. Eggs are a symbol of a new life. Exchanging and eating Easter eggs is a popular custom in many countries. Nowadays people give each other Easter eggs made of chocolate, usually hollow and filled with sweets.

The Russian traditional Easter meal is a kulich, paskha and Easter eggs.The eggs were hard-boiled and dyed in various colours and patterns. The traditionally bright colours represented spring and light.

 Children like Easter very much because it is a tasty holiday.

At Easter children eat chocolate Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies and a lot of sweets.

Слайды 19-21: Easter Bunny.

Legend of  Easter  Bunny

Long ago in a small village the mothers had no money to buy their children presents for Easter. They painted eggs with lots of beautiful pictures and hid them in the forest near the village. When the children went to play in the forest on Easter Sunday they saw the eggs but they didn't know where they had come from.  Suddenly a bunny ran out from behind a pile of eggs and the children started shouting: "They are bunny's eggs!".

Слайд 22 : Easter games with eggs. Easter eggs play an important part in Easter sports. Two traditional egg games are the Easter Egg Roll and the Easter Egg Hunt. The rules of the first game are to see who can roll a hard-boiled egg without breaking it. During the second game children should put the eggs in baskets and bring them to home.

Teacher: Children play a lot in Britain. Do you like playing games? Now let’s compete! We  have two teams : Chicks and Bunnies.

The first competition is Easter Word Hunt- circle the words

The next competition is Easter Eggs Hunt – find the eggs. An Easter Bunny hid some eggs in our class. (Ученики ищут в классе спрятанные яйца, ориентироваться помогают листики с подсказками на английском языке, где найти яйцо)
