Сценарий праздника «День Святого Валентина»

С учащимися 8-10 классов можно провести праздник, посвященный дню Святого Валентина. Подготовка заняла немало времени. В январе учащиеся провели анкетирование учителей и старшеклассников нашей школы на тему празднования дня Святого Валентина в нашей стране.  Для проведения мероприятия были сформированы  две команды, которые получили домашнее задание. Учащиеся 8-х классов принимают участие в инсценировке. Учителя иностранного языка и гости приглашаются в жюри.

  Предлагаем вашему вниманию сценарий этого мероприятия.

Ladies and gentlemen! Good evening! It’s lovely to meet you here, at Valentine’s party!

What kind of holiday is St. Valentine’s Day?

 St. Valentine’s Day is a fairly strange holiday. It romanticizes love and the same time publicly intimate relationships. This holiday is especially unusual for Russia, where demonstration of love has long remained a taboo.

But today, as shown by opinion polls, nearly all Russians know about it (73 % say they know, and 19 % have heard something about it). It’s quite natural that St. Valentine’s Day is more popular with young people than older people.

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 plunge into the atmosphere of love, to take part in party-games, to practice the use of some pleasant words and expressions on this special occasion.

St. Valentine’s Day is a religious holiday, which is celebrated in Great Britain, in the USA and in many European countries. St. Valentine’s Day has roots in several legends.

“This is the legend of how St. Valentine’s Day began. When the Roman Emperor Claudius II needed soldiers, he made a law against marrying because he felt that marriage made men want to stay at home instead of fighting wars. But at that time there was a kind priest named Valentine. He couldn’t agree with the emperor’s decision. When he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly.”

На сцену выходят юноша и девушка . они падают на колени и жестами умоляют священника совершить обряд бракосочетания. Священник выполняет их просьбу.

Священник: My daughter! My son! I declare you husband and wife!

Звучит марш Мендельсона. Врывается стража.

Стражник 1: Priest, you have been discovered and condemned to death!

Стражник 2:  To prison! To the Tower!

Следующая сцена: священник в тюрьме. Исполняется танец привидений. Входит тюремщик с дочерью.

Священник: What a beautiful girl!

Тюремщик: This is my daughter. She is blind! She will probably never see the light, trees, the Moon! (cries)

 Священник: I’ll help her by working a miracle!

Через некоторое время.  Дочь тюремщика радуется и показывает, что к ней вернулось зрение.

Девушка: I’m so grateful to you. Even in prison you, Valentine, showed your love for everyone and

restored my sight!

Священник: Unfortunately, tomorrow on February 14 I will have to die. But I’m not scared and I want to tell everybody on Earth: “I love you. I’m your Valentine.”

Голос из-за кулис: Just before his death, on February 14, he sent her a farewell message signed “From your Valentine”

Конкурс стихов.

The teams read in turn poems devoted to the holiday.

            1)  I’ll be your sweetheart,

If you will be mine.

All of my life

I’ll be your Valentine.

2) My love is like a cabbage,

Divided into two,

The leaves I give to others,

But the heart I give to you.

3) Here’s a Valentine

And this is what it’s for –

To say that every day

You are loved

More and more and more!

4) The rose is red,

The violets are blue.

The honey’s sweet

And so are you.

5) If you will be my Valentine,

My charming little dear,

The sun can never help but shine

 Throughout the coming year.

6) If you will be my Valentine,

You’ll see in all your walks

Fresh lemon drops on every twig

 And peanuts on the stalks.

The teams sing a song “My Bonnie”
