Ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong,
The bells are louder,
And cheerful laughter flies,
Flying to all ends!

The song “JINGLE BELLS” is being performed. Children imitate riding in a sleigh, bells ring.

By John Dirpont, 1857

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright,
What fun is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!

CHORUS: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

On Christmas Day, hey, hey, hey, hey,
We'll have a tree, he, he, he, he,
And it will snow, ho, ho, ho, ho,
For you and me, he, he, he, he.

The guys take turns asking each other what each of them would like to receive as a gift for Christmas, for example:

– What do you want for Christmas?

- A car. (Shows a picture of a typewriter.)

– What noise will it make?

Presenter 1 . And the born Jesus, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lay in a manger and slept in a serene sleep next to Mary and Joseph.

Pause. The music gets louder, then fades out. Reading a poem by A. Fet.

The night is quiet. On the unsteady firmament
The southern stars are trembling;
Mother's eyes with a smile
Quiet people look into the manger.

No ears, no extra glances,
The roosters have crowed
And behind the angels in the highest
The shepherds praise God.

The manger quietly shines in the eyes,
Mary's face is illuminated.
A star choir to another choir
I listened with trembling ears.

And above Him it burns high
That star of distant lands:
The kings from the East carry it with her
Gold, myrrh and Lebanon.

Mary and Joseph (2nd grade students) appear from behind the scenes. Joseph has a lighted lamp in his hands, Mary has a baby (doll). They stand against the backdrop of the barn decoration. The lights go out. All participants in the celebration sing the song “ Silent Night” (“Silent Night”).

Silent night.. Holy night..
All is calm. All is bright..
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild..
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, wonderful night.
Everything is dozing, but not sleeping,
The holy couple is in awe.
Their hearts are filled with a wonderful baby.
Joy burns in their souls,
Joy burns in their souls.

Quiet night. Wonderful night.
A voice from heaven announced:
Rejoice! Today Christ is born!
He brought peace and salvation to us all,
The light has visited you from above!
The light has visited you from above!

There's soot in my sack
And soot in my hat
And soot in my whiskey too!”
When Santa got stuck up the chimney
Atchoo! Atchoo! Atchoo!

Scenario of the holiday "Christmas" in 3 languages

2 presenters greet guests in English and German and inform about the goals of the event.

(Background music – song “Jingle, bells”)

1 presenter: Good afternoon, dear teachers and children! Dear Friends!

We are happy to see you at our Christmas Party today!

We hope that you will learn a lot of interesting things about Christmas

traditions and celebrations in England, the USA and Germany!

3rd presenter: It's time to start the holiday - the Christmas holiday. Each of you has your own Christmas - your own birthday, which you celebrate with candles, cake and delicious lemonade. But this holiday is special! This is the birthday of Jesus Christ. He was born more than two thousand years ago, and it is on the twenty-fifth of December that Christians living in Europe and America celebrate his birth.

Song-Dyachkova Anya

Then the students make short messages about Christmas in English and German. (General information about the holiday).

1 student: Christmas is the most popular holiday in Great Britain. It is the night from

The 24th to the 25th of December, when people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The people begin to prepare for the holiday long before it. They buy presents, cards, Christmas trees, tasty food. They send them to their friends, relatives.

The English send more than a billion Christmas cards every year. Very often we can see a small bird on Christmas cards and trees. It is a robin. The Robin is one of the symbols of Christmas.

2nd student: Weihnachten its eine besondere Zeit in Deutschland. Es ist ein hohes religioses Fest, der Tag Der Geburt Christi. Viele Menschen feiern das Weihnachtsfest nach altem Brauch, obwohl es fur die moisten Menschen eine ganz andere Bedeutung hat als fruher. Weihnachtsfest ist eine lange Tradition. Die Zeit vor Weihnachten, die "Vorweihnachtszeit", ist in Deutschland, Osterreich und in der Schweiz fast genau so wichtig wie das Weihnachtsfest selbst.

A student reads a poem in English.

DECEMBER.

The snow had fallen all night long

Outside my window a cardinal sang his song.

Skating and sledging when it is snowing

It is very peaceful to hear the wind blowing

December, December, beautiful December.

I was out all day and my cheeks were rosy

I hurried inside and got warm and cozy

The cocoa was yummy and very hot.

I wonder if will go out tomorrow or not

December, December, beautiful December.

1 student: Before Christmas the English buy a Christmas tree and decorate it with toys, balls and lights. The tree is often put into the window and at night one can walk along the street and watch the lights twinkling in the windows.

Long before that the English decorated their houses with different evergreens. The favorite of them are holly, ivy and mistletoe.

Student 2: The most famous Christmas tree stands every year in Trafalgar Square. Since 1947 the citizens of Oslo give this tree to the citizens of London.

It is over fifty feet high. The tree is brightly decorated. Right at the top is a large shining star. The branches are draped with tinsel and hung with big brilliant stars that sparkle in the light.

3 student: Das Weihnachtsfest ist eine lange Tradition. Die Zeit vor Weihnachten, die "Vorweihnachtszeit", ist in Deutschland, Osterreich und in der Schweiz fast genau so wichtig wie das Weihnachtsfest selbst.

Am ersten Dezember beginnt die Adventszeit. In den Wohnungen hangen oder liegen Adventskrannze mit vier Kerzen. Am ersten Sonntag – moistens beim Nachmittagskaffee – zundet man die erste Kerze an, am zweiten Sonntag die zweite, am dritten die dritte, am letzten Sonntag vor Weihnachten brennen alle vier Kerzen. Der Adventskranz soll Segen bringen und Unheil abwenden.

Presenter-translator:

In the very center of London, on Trafalgar Square, there is a huge green spruce - a gift from the residents of Oslo. And in every house there is a small evergreen tree, because such trees are a symbol of eternal life. A manger with the infant Christ is placed under the Christmas tree, and the house is decorated with sprigs of holly and mistletoe. Holly - because before Jesus died he wore a wreath of holly, and mistletoe is a symbol of love and reconciliation. On Christmas Day, everyone forgives each other all insults and asks for forgiveness from everyone who was offended.

The highlight of Christmas is the festive dinner with the traditional turkey or goose, pudding and Christmas gifts.

Christmas is a family holiday, everyone gathers at one table, acts out the scene of the birth of Christ, plays funny games, and sings Christmas songs.

Now let's watch a scene from the story

N.V. Gogol's "The Night Before Christmas" performed by students of grade 9a.

Scene 1

VAKULA: Oh, Oksana, you are so charming. You are the best, the most beautiful girl in the world! I can't eat, I can't sleep. Will you marry me?

GIRL: Don’t believe him, Oksana. He's a crafty fellow.

OKSANA: How can you prove that you love me?

VAKULA: I'll make all your wishes come true.

OKSANA: I want to have the same shoes as the Tsarina herself wears. Get them for me.

GIRL: You are right, Oksana. That's a clever idea.

VAKULA: Good bye, Oksana. I’ll either get you the shoes or die.(Leaves.)

OKSANA: I shouldn't have done that. I'm afraid something might happen to him. You know, I love him.

Scene 2

VAKULA: Oksana is heartless. Why do I love her so much? I’ll get the shoes for her and even the devil won’t be able to stop me!

The devil appears

DEVIL:

Hello, I'm the Devil. I’m here and I can do all my tricks again. Who is thinking about me?

VAKULA: Who are you?

DEVIL: I'm the Devil. Don't worry. I won't be in your way. I'll help you. You’ll get the same cherevichky as the Tsarina wears. But we’ll make a deal – you’ll give me your soul for my assistance. That’s settled then, isn’t it?

VAKULA: You are not the Devil. You haven’t got a tail, have you?

DEVIL: But I have. Can't you see it? Look, here it is.(Shows his tail. Vakula grabs the devil by the tail.)

VAKULA: I've caught you, and now I'll cross you.

DEVIL: (plaintively) Please, don’t do that! Let me go!

VAKULA: No. At first you'll do what I tell you to do.(Jumps up on the devil.) Take me to St. Petersburg!

Vakula and the devil make a circle around the stage.

Scene 3

Catherine II, Potemkin, Fonvizin.

POTYOMKIN: Now, Your Majesty, I’ll introduce to you one of the nationalities of your Empire.

FONVISZN: How interesting!

POTYOMKIN: These are the Zaporozhtsy. They protect our country.

FONVIZIN: I am curious to meet them. Could you repeat once again, please. I'll write it down.

POTYOMKIN: This fool annoys me so much.

CATHERINE II: Don’t pay attention to him. Perhaps, he'll write a play. Where are these people?

POTYOMKIN: Come in.

Vakula and the devil enter. The devil is hiding behind his back. Vakula is holding him. They bow.

VAKULA: Good afternoon, Your Majesty.

CATHERINE II: Good afternoon. How are you?

Vakula: I am fine.

CATHERINE ll: So, what can I do for you?

VAKULA: Your Majesty, your shoes are so beautiful. Could you, please, give me the same ones for my girl?

Potemkin is angry.

FONVIZIN: (laughs) Bravo! I am leaving you. I’ll go to write a wonderful play right now.(Runs away.)

CATHERINE II: (smiles, claps his hands) Bring him my shoes.

Scene 4

Oksana, girls, guys. Vakula appears with a bag.

OKSANA: Oh, Vakula, I’m so happy to see you again! I'll marry you!

VAKULA: Wait a minute, Oksana. See, what a present I have for you.

OKSANA: (looks into the bag)How lovely they are, but I’m even more happy that you have returned.

Girl: There will be a wedding! There will be a wedding!

Vakula : And now let’s celebrate Christmas!

All the characters go on stage and sing

It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time

Stand up stand up and raise a glass of wine

And you let yourself go underneath the mistletoe

Well it's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

Wake up wake up and find the snow outside

And your presents will be underneath the Christmas tree with me.

Presenter in English: On Christmas Eve Children leave a long sock or stocking at the end of their bed. They hope that Father Christmas will come down the chimney during the night and bring them small presents, fruits and nuts. In the morning on Christmas day children are very excited. They open their stockings and find presents in bright paper and ribbons. Many people go to church on that day. On returning from church the whole family gather round the tree.

There is a beautiful legend about Christmas stocking. Once upon a time there lived a poor man who had three daughters. The girls couldn`t marry because they had no trousseau. On Christmas Eve they washed their stockings, hung them in front of the fireplace and went to bed. Santa Claus decided to help the girls and threw a piece of gold into each stocking.

Presenter in German about gifts:

Presenter-interpreter: Loving and obedient children receive Christmas gifts. They hang their little stockings by the fireplace, and in the morning they find them full of gifts. Santa Claus brought them.

This story began a long time ago, when two poor children wandered around the city all day, begging. But no one served them anything for dinner. Chilled and hungry, they returned home, hung their stockings, wet from rain and snow, by the fireplace to dry, and in the morning discovered that they were full of gifts. The Lord took pity on the poor children and ordered Santa Claus to give them gifts. This is what it is - Christmas.

And now a Christmas song will be played for you.

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.

Refrain:
Good tidings we bring

to you and your kin.
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.

We all want some figgy pudding
We all want some figgy pudding

So bring it right here.

We won't go until we get some,

We won't go until we get some.
So bring it right here.

Presenter-translator: We bring to your attention a scene from a fairy tale"The Snow Queen" in English.

Playing with spectators

2 teams. Who will sing more songs about winter, New Year, Christmas. You need to sing 1 line.

The presenters conduct a quiz about Christmas and award sweet prizes.

Presenters: Our holiday is coming to an end. Thank you very much to all the children and teachers. To end our evening, let's all sing "Jingle, Bells" together.

JINGLE, BELLS

American Folksong

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

Down the hill we go

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring,

Just making spirits bright;

Oh, what fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

REFRAIN:

Jingle, bells!

Jingle, bells!

Jingle all the way!

Oh! What fun it is to ride

A day or two ago,

I thought I"d take a ride,

And soon Miss Fannie Bright

Was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank,

Misfortune seemed-his lot;

He got into a drifted bank,

And we, we got upset.

REFRAIN.

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls tonight

And sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bobtail bay,

Two forty for his speed;

Then hit him to an open sleigh,

And crack! you"ll take the lead.

REFRAIN:

Jingle, bells! Jingle, bells!

Jingle all the way!

Oh! What fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh. (2)

Miss Snowflake: Meanwhile we can play different games and have a lot of fun!
snow maiden: In the meantime, we will play different games and have fun!

2)Word Game “Catch the snowball!”

Children can name the following words and phrases: snow, winter, cold, frosty, windy, snowfall, snowman, snowball, Christmas, New Year, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, snow maiden, December, January, February, Christmas tree, etc .

Miss Snowflake: You know so many words and phrases. Santa Claus like clever and hard-working children, he’ll definitely bring you his nice presents.
snow maiden: How many words and expressions do you know? Santa Claus will appreciate smart and hardworking children with good gifts.

If children are embarrassed or cannot remember the appropriate words even in Russian, you can help them. Miss Snowflake throws a snowball and says a word on the topic in Russian (English), and the child returns the snowball to her with a translation of the word spoken to her. Just for fun, you can play this game: 2 teams are formed, they are asked to make lumps of snowballs out of white paper and throw them into buckets. The team that throws the most snowballs wins.

3) Draw a snowman and a snowwoman!

Children are given whatman paper and markers (pencils, paints, markers).

Girls dressed as snowflakes read the poem “Snowflake” by K.D. Balmont in Russian and English. Classical music plays while reading.
Pupils 1-2: What a pure snowflake!
What a brave snowflake!
It is fluffy, white and nice.
We are charmed by winter dance!
Pupils 3-4: It has left the sky, but why?
Here it's dangerous. Oh my!
What will! Please don't fall down!
Oops, the snowflake’s on the ground.
(Translation by I.G. Krikunova)

Pupils 5-6: Light fluffy,
Snowflake is white.
How clean
How brave!
Dear stormy
Easy to carry
Not to the azure heights,
Begs to go to earth.

7) Christmas alphabet.

At the preparatory stage, each child is given rhymes with one of the letters that make up the word Christmas. Children find the necessary letters, raise them above their heads and stand so that the word Christmas is formed. Then they recite the Christmas alphabet.
