Pilgrim 3

                      Do you know the story

                      Of the first Thanksgiving Day

                      Founded by our Pilgrim Fathers

                      In that time so far away?

                      They had given for religion

                      Wealth and comfort – yes, and more –

                      Left their homes and friends and children

                      For unknown barren shore.

                     We shall never know the terrors,

                     That they faced years ago,

                     But for all their struggles gave us,

                     We our gratitude can show.

                    And the children of New England

                    If they feast or praise or pray

                    Should bless God for those brave Pilgrims,

                    And their first Thanksgiving Day.

Presenter 1:
 Dear Indians and Pilgrims! Dear children! Welcome to our Thanksgiving party!

Presenter 2: The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day in 1621. They came from England on board” the Mayflower”.

Pilgrim 2

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring.

Song «My Bonnie is Over the Ocean» (grade 6)

My Bonnie is over the ocean.
My Bonnie is over the sea.
My Bonnie is over the ocean.
Oh, Bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back.
Bring back.
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dream’d that my Bonnie was dead.

Presenter 1: When Pilgrims came to America, they had no houses to live in, no food to eat. The only people they met were Indians and they helped the Pilgrims. Native Indians taught them how to plant, to fish and to hunt. The crops did well, and the Pilgrims had a great harvest. They were thankful and decided to celebrate with a Thanksgiving feast.

Presenter 2: They prepared a dinner of turkey, corn, beans, and pumpkins. They invited their Indian friends to share this feast. The Indians brought food to the feast, too (they even brought popcorn!).

Presenter 1: Meet the Governor William Bradford 

The Governor William Bradford :  We have gathered a rich harvest. Nobody will be hungry this winter.   Oh, thanks God! (складывает руки в молитве).

                                                      Dear Lord, on this Thanksgiving Day

                                                      With grateful hearts we bow and pray

                                                      For blessing given from our birth

                                                      Exceeding way beyond our worth

                                                       For friends who’ve proven to be true;

                                                       For pets, which count as friendship too.

                                                       For home and country, health and love

                                                       All sent to us from Heaven above.

                                                       Lord, please, continue to be near

                                                       And guide us through another year. ( by Carol Neumann)
