Праздник Christmas
December, 25th
Teacher: Good
evening, dear friends! We are glad to see you here again! Today we are going to
tell you about a wonderful winter holiday. It is American Christmas. (Звучит мелодия рождественской песни)
Pupil 1 The
Americans celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. As you know, Christmas
is a religious holiday. It is a day on which Christians celebrate the birth of
Jesus Christ. It is a happy holiday. Families come together to share their
happiness, attend church and exchange gifts.
Pupil 2: You are
quite right. The Christmas story comes from the Bible. It tells us an
interesting story of shepherds who were watching their sheep when an angel
appeared to them. He told them that a Saviour had been born in Bethlehem. The
shepherds went there to see Jesus. The baby Jesus was born in a stable (проецируется картинка «The Holy
Family»). His mother was the Virgin Mary and his father was Joseph. The Bible
tells us how the Wise Men (the Magi) followed a star until it led them to
Jesus. (Звучит песня «Silent Night»).
Pupil 3: The first
Noel the angel did say
Was to certain
poor shepherds in the fields as they lay
In fields where
they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s
night that was so deep.
They looked up and
saw a star
Shining in the
East, beyond them far,
And to the Earth
it gave great light,
And so it
continued both day and night.
Pupil 4: The Wise
Men gave Jesus many gifts. Because of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Christians
celebrate Christmas.
Pupil 5: Cities
and towns in the USA sparkle with bright lights and decorations. Churches,
homes, schools, shops and streets are decorated with Christmas trees, colored
lights, Santa Claus and his reindeer. Store windows display gifts. The
traditional colors for this holiday are red and green.
Pupil 6: On
Christmas Eve, the President of the USA turns on the lights of the Christmas
tree near the White House and sends his greetings to the nation.
Pupil 1: People
sing and hear many songs at Christmas. The songs are different old
traditional songs in English, German, Spanish, French and other languages,
religious songs and modern American songs. They create the special atmosphere
of the holiday.
Pupil 2: Christmas
carols are sung on the radio and in public places during this season. Some of
the most famous carols are: «The First Noel», «Joy to the World» and «Silent
Night».
Pupil 3: Now we
are going to sing the song Jingle, Bells. John Pierpont wrote it in 1857. It is
one of the first Christmas songs that American children learn.
Pupil 4: Families
prepare for this holiday weeks before. Christmas cards are sent to friends and
relatives. They make and buy gifts. They wrap gifts with bright paper and
ribbons.
Pupil 5: Christmas
is wrapping each gift with care,
Bowing your head
and saying a prayer.
Pupil 6: «HOW MUCH
I LOVE YOU»
I’ve done many
things for Christmas
I’ve tied each
present with bow,
But there’s one
other thing
I wanted to tell
you,
How much I love
you,
But I think you
know.
Pupil 1: «I TIE MY
LOVE WITH RIBBONS»
In the glow of
Christmas candles,
And the stars that
shine above,
I bring you
season’s greetings
With my ribboned
gift of love.
In the joyous
sound of voices
Singing carols in
the snow
I take your hand
and tell you
Of my love that
seems to grow.
With Christmas
years behind us
And Christmas
years ahead
I tie my love with
ribbons
In the shade of
Christmas red.
Pupil 2: The
Americans choose a tree and decorate it with ornaments and lights. Have a look
at our Christmas tree! It’s wonderful, isn’t it? You can see a lot of toys on
it. The lights are different red, blue, yellow, green. On the top of the
Christmas tree you can see an angel. I like our tree, and you (Yes, certainly,
Sure, It’s nice.)
Pupil 3: The
American children hang up stockings near the fire – place to receive gifts from
Santa Claus.
Pupil 4: «SANTA
CLAUS IS COMING»
Santa Claus is
coming,
Christmas is near,
Hang up all the
stockings,
We can’t wait till
he’s here.
(дети вешают
чулочки у камина)
Pupil 5: Schools
usually have two weeks of vacations and some families take vacations together.
By the way, do you want to meet a real Santa Claus? Yes? Let’s say then: «Santa
Claus, you’re welcome! » All together!
(Входит Санта Клаус и раздаёт подарки).
Silent Night
Silent Night, Holy Night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Round the Virgin, Mother and Child,
Holy Infant , so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent Night, Holy Night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glory streams from Heaven afar.
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Crist the Savior is born,
Crist the Savior is born.
Silent Night, Holy Night,
Son of God, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face.
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
