Date: 22.10.15
Grade: 8-9 forms
Procedure:
Islam: Good afternoon,
dear audience!
Aru: On today’s event
we would like to talk about holidays and traditions in the world.
I: So, Aru, what
is holiday?
A: The word holiday comes from the Old English word hāligdæg (hālig "holy" + dæg "day").[1] The
word originally referred only to special religious days. In modern use, it
means any special day of rest or relaxation, as opposed to normal days away
from work or school.
I: Thank you so much! I also prepared some useful information
about holidays. Please, look at the screen.

Aru:
Islam, before
all the presentations of different countries, it’s appropriate to check how
much you know about holidays around the world. Let’s ask our audience! If you
give correct answers, you’ll get a present!
(Quiz1
time):
-
Correct
answer: Thomas Edison not only invented the electric lightbulb, he also
created the first strand of electric lights. He hung them outside his New
Jersey lab during Christmas season in 1880.
Lights
for Christmas trees weren’t sold to the public until 1917.
2)
CORRECT
ANSWER: 3 billion
Of
the roughly 7 billion people on Earth about 3 billion are familiar with
"Silent Night." The carol was first heard on Christmas Eve 1818, in
Oberndorf, Austria, and was written by Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber. It has
been translated into more than 300 languages.
3)
CORRECT
ANSWER: Felix the Cat
Felix
the Cat led the way for huge, colorful balloons in the 1927 Macy's Thanksgiving
Day parade. The organizers didn't have a plan to deflate him, so when the
parade was over, they let him fly off into the sky and pop.
I: Thank you for your
answers!

(Quiz 3. China):
1) Christians
in China call Santa Claus Dun
Che Lao Ren, which means
Christmas Old ManWinter Festival
SpiritFirecracker-Red
Suit
Correct
answer: Christmas Old Man
Correct!
Christians
are a small minority in China, which is officially atheist (the traditional
religion contains elements of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism). For most
Chinese, the major winter celebration is the New Year,
or Spring Festival, which occurs in January or February.
2) What's the legend
behind using firecrackers to celebrate Chinese New Year?
A. They're meant to
scare away monsters.
B. They wake up the
gods in time for the celebration.
C. They provide light
for the dark winter night.
You've got it! According to one legend, a monster terrorized
villages while searching for food at the time of the new year. One year, the
monster attacked while the villagers were building a fire out of bamboo. The
bamboo started making loud popping sounds and as it burst into flame, the
monster was scared off.
3) According
to Chinese custom, on New Year's Day you shouldn't...
Eat anything
Leave home
Sweep the house
Right! You shouldn't sweep
the house on New Year's Day. Tradition says you run the risk of sweeping your
fortune away. In the days after the New Year you can start cleaning again, but
remember to sweep toward the center of the house, not out. After the fifth day
you may take out the trash - but only through the back door.
A:
9 b grade pupils are ready to present Chinese holidays and traditions!
(China

I: It’s high time
to make a conclusion. Now, our judges are busy with the results. Please, be honest
and kind.
A: So, we have
found that holiday is the wealth of every country and culture, which is given
from generation to generation.
I: Today we’ve
shown different kinds of unusual holidays around the world. But the most
important thing is not to forget about our Kazakh holidays and traditions.
A: I agree with
you! We hope that our holidays will be known among other countries!
I: After all the
presentations let’s relax and start singing!
(Song
“We will rock you”)
A: We want to
thank our presenters: 8a, 8ә , 8b, 9a, 9ә , 9b! You did a very
good job! But our event is going to the end!
I: We hope that
you enjoyed it and got a lot of information. Thank you for your attention! Good
bye!
