Сценарий

В зале звучат рождественские песни на англ. языке. На экране слайд №1 из . Гаснет свет. Звучат колокольчики (дорожка №1 ).

На сцене зажигается свет. Звучит песня “Christmas is coming ” ( дорожка №2 ), выходят дети, изображая предпраздничную суету. В стороне стоит нищий, некоторые из детей подают ему деньги, сладости.

Old man. Oh! Thank you very much. Good children! How generous you are. I have some money. Now I can buy a present for my wife and some food for my Christmas dinner: turkey and plum pudding.

После этого они все вместе исполняют песню “Christmas is coming”.

Затем выходит Mother Goose и обращается к собравшимся:

Mother Goose. Well, well, well, well, well, here we all are again. And what"s more important, Christmas is here again, too. Aren"t you glad? Now I want to tell you children something. Do you know what I enjoy most at Christmas time? It"s to come in here and see all you children, all your faces and smiles. And I think I know why you are all smiling.

There are two reasons for it, I believe. One is that you think old Mother Goose is a good friend of yours, and loves you all very much. And you"re quite right about that. I love every one of you as much as I love-plum pudding. And the second reason why you are all smiling, I guess, is because you think I am going to show you a Christmas Play. And you"re right about that, too.

Are you ready, all of you? Be quiet, then, for now it is going to begin...

Ведущие хором при выходе на сцену:

Christmas is here, Christmas is here. Merry Christmas, Mothers! Merry Christmas Fathers! Merry Christmas, Children!

Ведущий 1 . Hello, dear boys and girls! Hello, dear guests! There are many holidays in our country and English-speaking countries. Our party is devoted to the most beautiful holiday – Christmas, which is loved by children and adults! (слайд №2).

Ведущий 2 .

CHRISTMAS DAYS

Christmas days are white with snow,
The winds are laughing as they blow.
Across the ponds and lakes we glide,
And over the drifting snow we ride
And down the hills we gaily slide
And shout with all our might:
“Merry Christmas!”

Ведущий 1. ( Слайд №3) C hristmas is a religion holiday. It is the time when Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who was very kind and who loved children very much. Many Christians go to church to sing carols and to celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas day.

Ведущий 2. December 25 was chosen as the birthday celebration as Christ’s Mass.

(C лайд №4) X-mas. This abbreviation for Christmas is of Greek origin. The word for Christ in Greek is Xristos.

Ведущий 1 . Do you know that the Christmas story comes from the Bible? The baby Jesus was born in a stable. His mother was the Virgin Mary and his father was Joseph. The wise man gave Jesus gifts of gold. Because of this event the Christians celebrate Christmas . Let’s see how it was.

(C лайды №5, 6) Сценка “Christmas Hope” ( )

Видеоролик (YouTube: It’s X-mas Day; X-mas Carol with Lyrics and Music)

Ведущий 3. (C лайд №7) As far as I know people prepare for this day beforehand. They buy presents , decorate their houses and send greeting cards. Today we shall find out more about Christmas in Great Britain.

Ведущий 4 . Most people are on holiday in the UK and stay at home with their family on Christmas day. Christmas is a truly magical season, bringing families and friends together to share their much loved customs and traditions. Do you remember the symbols of Christmas?

Ведущий 3. (C лайд №8) Yes, some of them. For example, Christmas Tree, candles.

Ведущий 4. Any more ?

Ведущий 3. Children, can you help me? What other symbols do you know? (Ребята называют разные символы рождества )

Thank you, children. And do you know what they symbolize?

Ведущий 4 . Of course, yes. (C лайд №9) When people shop for turkeys, crackers and presents, they also pick up holly wreathes.

Holly is an evergreen plant with sharp pointed leaves and red berries. People use holly to decorate their homes. It is a very old tradition. Long ago people began to put holly in their homes during the dark cold winters. They liked to look at holly and think about the spring and the sun.

Mistletoe is an evergreen plant with small leaves and small white berries. On Christmas Eve there is a bunch of mistletoe in every house.

Ведущий 3 . Oh, how interesting! I have never heard about it .

(C лайд №10) But I know that on Christmas Eve some people light candles in their windows. The Bible says that Mary had trouble finding shelter on the night Jesus was born. The candles symbolize a welcome to cold and tired travelers.

Ведущий 4. I see. I am sure we must help people in need. Do you remember this poem?

It"s Christmas time around the world;
You"ll hear the Yule bells ring.
It"s time for giving, time for love;
It"s time for hearts to sing.

Ведущий 3. (C лайд №11) Carol singing, or Caroling, is singing carols in the street or public places. Christmas carols are special songs which are sung during the Christmas season. The songs are about Jesus and the time when he was born. It is one of the oldest customs in Great Britain, going back to the Middle Ages when beggars, seeking food, money, or drink, would wander the streets singing holiday songs.

Ведущий 5 . And we can"t imagine the Christmas Tree without snowflakes. (слайд№14)

Ведущий 6 . And what winter without snow!

In the forest. (slide “Winter Forest”)

Russian girl is looking around her with great interest.

Russian girl: Where am I? I can’t believe my eyes. Is it a fairy-tale? Oh, it’s cold here. Where shall I go?

A white rabbit appears on the stage. He is in a hurry. He is looking at his watch and taking it in and out of his waistcoat.

Rabbit: Oh, dear, oh dear! I’ll be too late!

Russian girl: What? A rabbit with a pocket and a watch in it? Of course, I’m in a tale. Who’s ever seen a rabbit with a watch?

Rabbit: Good evening, Your Majesty! I am on time (bows). Let’s start our lesson. May I ask you to write down four irregular verbs?

Queen: All right. Dictate!

Break-broke-broken
Speak-spoke-spoken
Begin-began-begun

Chancellor comes.

Chancellor: Good evening, Your Majesty! May I ask you to put Your signature? To four edicts only.

Queen: Write! Well! But then I won’t write – begin-began-begun. Give me your papers!

Chancellor: Thank you very much, Your Majesty!

Queen: And what shall I write?

Chancellor: Either “execute” or “forgiveness”.

Queen (counts): E-xe-cu-te, for-gi-ve-ness. I shall write “execute” – it is shorter.

Russian girl comes out: Stop it! What have you written?

Queen: Who are you? How dare you speak to me like this? I am your Queen.

Russian girl: You executed a person and didn’t think about him!

Queen: But I can’t write and think at the same time!

Russian girl: It isn’t necessary. First you should think and then you should write.

Queen: If I do that, I shall think and think and think and then I’ll go mad.

Russian girl: Nonsense! And besides, you are not my Queen. I am not from here. I am from Russia.

Queen: Russia? Where is it? Oh, I know, your people live on the other side of the Earth and they walk with their heads downward.

Russian girl: Do you study at school? You don’t know Geography at all. (slide “The map of Russia”)Russia is the largest country in the world with a long and interesting history and culture. Do you know how Russian people celebrated Christmas traditionally?

A group of children is going around the hall and singing Russian folk songs.

Russian girl: Russian people made up a lot of fairy-tales. One of them we prepared for you in a modern version. Can you guess the tale?

Queen: Why should I know it? Mr. Rabbit knows it well.

Rabbit: It’s Russian folk-tale “The Turnip”. But I hardly guessed it.

Queen: As for me I know Math.

Russian girl (writing at the blackboard): How much is six multiplied by six?

Queen: Six times six is eleven. Mr. Rabbit, is it OK?

Rabbit (sadly): OK, Your Majesty.

Russian girl (writing): Multiply eight by eight, please.

Russian girl: Awful!

Queen: And I know Biology very well.

Russian girl: Then answer, when do snowdrops appear in the forest?

Rabbit whispers: In April.

Queen: Snowdrops? Of course, in December, because snow falls in December.

Snowflakes dance.

Russian girl: You are wrong. It’s impossible. Snowdrops blossom in April.

Queen: OK. I want April now. I like snowdrops very much. I have never seen them.

Rabbit: April will come soon. You have to wait only three months or 90 days.

Queen: 90 days! But I can’t wait! Tomorrow we are going to have a New Year’s party. I want to have snowdrops for this party.

Rabbit (sadly): Your Majesty, you can’t break the law of Nature.

It’s winter now….

Music (winter) (slide “Winter”)

Rabbit: Then comes spring with the first dripping of melted snow and snowdrops…

Music (spring) (slide “Spring”)

Chancellor comes.

Queen: Set my seal and proclaim my order!

Chancellor: But Your Majesty…

Queen: This is my order!

Lights go down.

It’s freezing. A giant caterpillar is sitting under the tree covered with snow.

Mr.Rabbit and Russian girl are standing and hesitating in which direction to go.

Rabbit: Let’s go this way. Frosty the famous snowman lives here. I hope he can help us.

Russian girl: I am so tired. What’s the use of looking for snowdrops in winter. Where can I sit down?

Russian girl tries to sit down on a giant caterpillar but jumps up and cries.

Russian girl: What is it? Dear me! It’s a snake!

Caterpillar: First of all can’t you be more polite and stop sitting on a delicate caterpillar?

Russian girl: Caterpillar in winter! It’s incredible!

Caterpillar: Stop talking nonsense. Can’t you see? It’s me. What are you doing here on Christmas Eve?

A group of children is singing Christmas carol “Away in a manger”.

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Russian girl: We are looking for snowdrops.

Caterpillar: Isn’t it more incredible to look for snowdrops in winter?

Russian girl: Certainly it is. Am I going mad?

Caterpillar: Why haven’t you said before you are going crazy? I am sure only Rudolf can help you – he is also an extraordinary creature. You have to go that way. (Show them the way).

Russian girl: Thank you. Bye.

Rabbit: Thank you Miss (kisses her hand). Shall we meet one day?

Carterpillar: Put down my phone number, ducky. (Hugs and kisses him).

Lights go down. Music.

Lights go up. Russian girl and Mr. Rabbit are going through the forest.

Chorus. Song “Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer”.

Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it Used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolf play in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say, "Rudolf with your nose so bright,

you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer Won"t you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then how the reindeer loved him, As they shouted out with glee: "Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, you"ll go down in history!"

Rudolf appears. Russian girl and Mr. Rabbit run to him.

Rabbit: Mr. Rudolf we are so glad to see you. Can you help us to find snowdrops.

Rudolf: Snowdrops? What a strange idea! I can manage to get moss and lichen for you.

Russian girl: But we need snowdrops very much.

Rudolf: You need a real magician, you need Santa.

Russian girl: Where is he? Tell us, please, we are in a hurry.

Rudolf: I can’t tell you. He is very busy now, he is preparing Christmas gifts for children. That’s why nobody knows where he is. But you can ask Frosty.

Rabbit: Who is Frosty?

Chorus. Song “Frosty, The Snowman”.

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a carrot nose,
And two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say.
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found,
For they put it on his head
He began to dance around!

O, Frosty the snowman,
Was alive as he could be!
And the children say he could
Laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.
Thumpety thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpety thump thump
Thumprty thump thump
Over the hills of snow…

Frosty (appears): Who called me?

Russian girl: Dear Frosty, can you show us the way to Santa’s house. We need his help. It’s Christmas Eve now and we’d like to get a basket of snowdrops on Christmas Day.

Frosty: What strange presents do people want to have on Christmas! OK, if you guess my riddles, I’ll show you the way.

Russian girl: We’ll try and I think children will help us (to the audience). Will you help us to guess Frosty’s riddles?

It’s blue by night,
By day it’s white.
It is cold and not dry,
It falls from the sky. (Snow)

Fat and gay, on a winter day,
He came here with us to stay.
But day by day he grew sad and thin,
And so we brought his younger brother in. (A calendar)

In winter and in summer
They stand in one colour. (A fir-tree and a pine)

This is the season
When children ski
And Santa brings
The bright Christmas tree. (Winter)

Frosty: Let’s go that way. I’ll follow you, you can lose yourselves. (They are going away).

Music. Chorus “I wish I were a snowman”

I wish I were a Snowman,
So tall and big and white.
I’d never have to clean my teeth,
Or go to bed at night.
But maybe Mister Snowman
Is wishing he were me,
For I’ll be here when summer comes,
But where will the Snowman be?

Music. Song “Christmas is coming..”

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
Please, to put a penny
In an old man’s hat
Please to put a penny
In an old man’s hat.
If you have no penny
A half-penny can do
If you have no half-penny
Then God bless you.

Lights go down.

Santa’s house. (slide “Santa’s house”).

Santa Claus is picking up his bag.

Santa: A new nose for Rudolf, a new broom for Frosty, a beautiful hat for the caterpillar, a basket of snowdrops for the Queen. What else? Ah, they are coming. We’ll see if they gain their presents.

All: Santa, hello. Help us, please!

Santa: All right! I’ve just learnt a new and very modern dance. If you dance with me I’ll make all your wishes come true.

Dance. Everybody is dancing.

The clock strikes.

Santa: Christmas has come!

Song “We wish you a Merry Christmas…” (All participants).

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year!
Good tidings for you
Wherever you are
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy New Year!

SCENE 1.

(The NEW YEAR and the SNOW MAIDEN are knocking at the door. They have presents and a bell in their hands)

New Year:

I am the little New Year, ho, ho!
Here I come jumping over the snow,
Shaking my bell with a merry din

Snow Maiden:

Presents we bring for each and all
Big folks, little folks, short and tall.
Each one from us a treasure may win,
So open your doors and let me in!

New Year:

Some shall have silver and some shall have gold
Some shall have new clothes and some shall have old.

Snow Maiden:

Some shall have water and some shall have milk
Some shall have satin and some shall have silk!

New Year: But each of you a present may win

Snow Maiden: So open your doors and let us in!

SCENE 2.

(Enter Mrs.CLAUS)

Mrs.Claus: Oh, hello dear New Year! Have you got any present for Santa Claus?

New Year: What? A present for our old Santa? No, here are some presents which he must take to children. And he must hurry! He hasn"t got much time to finish his work!

Mrs.Claus: Poor old Santa... Good-bye, New Year. Merry Christmas!

(Exit New Year. Enter ELF 1 and ELF 2)

Mrs.Claus: Good day, my little elves. Come here! Have you, Elves, ever thought what it is like for our Santa on Christmas morning? He works all Christmas night putting presents in children"s stockings, and when he comes back to a quiet North Pole he is so tired! All people are opening presents and having a wonderful time and poor old Santa is so tired that he can"t celebrate!

1 st Elf:

Think about it. It"s almost shocking!
He won"t even have a Christmas stocking.
Is it too late for us to plan
To celebrate with this kind old man?

Mrs.Claus: What a good idea! No, it isn"t to late! Let"s quickly think of the presents we can make!

2 nd Elf:

Let"s give him new gloves and a hat right away
So the cold won"t get him when he is out in his sleigh.

Mrs.Claus: What about some nice tasty things for the holiday lunch?

2 nd Elf: We"ll make up a tasty brew! Can you cook his favourite stew?

Mrs.Claus: Of course! So, I"m going to the kitchen and you hurry for a surprise for Santa!

SCENE 3.

(Enter TOM SAWYER, DOROTHY and ALICE)

Tom: Where are my Christmas presents? There is nothing in my stocking! How awful! Oh, my dear friends, I"m so angry that I forgot to tell you who I am. I am famous Tom Sawyer!

Dorothy: I am Dorothy. Do you know me? You have read about my adventures in the book "The Wizard of Oz". I flew to a magic country in my house with my dog Toto.

Alice: And my name is Alice. Do you know what tale I come from? "Alice in Wonderland", of course!

Tom: Imagine how unhappy I am with these two silly girls following me here and there and everywhere! Woh!

Dorothy: Tom, stop being naughty, please! It"s Christmas Eve!

Alice: It"s Christmas Eve and where are our presents? There is nothing in my stocking!

Dorothy: And my stocking is empty, too!

Tom: What has happened to Santa Claus?

(Enter MRS.CLAUS and the ELVES)

Mrs.Claus: My dear friends, you know how busy Santa is. No wonder he has forgotten!

Dorothy, Alice: Merry Christmas, Mrs.Claus!

1 st Elf: Merry Christmas, everybody! Do you know that we decided to give Santa Claus some presents. He never gets anything on Christmas, you know.

Tom: I"ve got an idea. Old Santa has so much work to do today. What if we help him to take the presents to those children who live not very far away?

2 nd Elf: That will be nice! Here is a bag with presents, the New Year has left it hear. Oh, how heavy it is!

Mrs.Claus: Now everybody has something to do and I am going to make a stew.

Dorothy: Can we help you. Mrs.Claus?

Alice: We would like to do it!

1 st Elf: And I think we must invite children to our party. They will dress up in pretty clothes and we"ll have fun!

Mrs.Claus: But we must hurry - Christmas is coming.

SCENE 4.

(Enter BLACK FAIRY)

Black Fairy: Oh, I knew it! Santa Claus hasn"t even put a stocking for me. He"s forgotten about me! And they are all talking about him - helping Santa, presents for Santa, a party for Santa... And I"m always alone! O.K. I"ll show them what happens if they forget about Black Fairy! I don"t want them to help that old fat Santa Claus. Oh, what"s that? Christmas presents!? Presents for these naughty, noisy, lazy children? I"ll take them and hide in a good secret place. (to the audience) And if you tell them anything you will never get any presents on Christmas! Do you understand? Never again!

SCENE 5.

(Enter Tom, Dorothy and Alice)

Tom: It"s time to go. The children are waiting for their presents. (looking around) But where are the presents? Where is the bag?

Dorothy: Where are the presents?

Alice (crying): Somebody has taken the bag! Now the children won"t get the presents!

Dorothy (crying): Poor Santa Claus. Everybody will be angry with him. We wanted to help and now...

Tom: Never again shall I ask any girls to help me! The only thing they can do is cry and weep! It"s cold today and if you don"t stop you will have icicles on your eyes! Stop crying and let me think. There must be a way out. Yes! A Christmas Fairy - Saula is the only one who can help us! She always comes on Christmas Eve to those who need help.

SCENE 6.

(Distant music and bells are heard, enter SAULA)

Saula: Merry Christmas!

Tom: Saula! I"ve been thinking about you! How do you know that we need your help?

Saula: I heard someone crying. I thought I could help, and here I am!

Alice: Saula, dear, do you know what has happened?

Saula: I don"t, sweetheart.

Dorothy: We decided to help Santa Claus with the presents, you know he is so busy on Christmas Eve...

Saula: How lovely! How kind of you to do it!

Alice: But somebody has taken the bag with all the presents!

Tom: Even I have no idea - who could do such a bad thing!

Saula: Let me think... I guess I know who it is.

All: Do you!?

Saula: Have you ever heard about the Black Fairy of the Christmas Eve?

Tom: Never.

Alice: Yes, I"ve once read about her. People say she is very wicked, nobody loves her and she loves nobody.

Saula: You are right. She always tries to do something bad on Christmas Eve.

Tom: Let me catch her and she will never do anything bad again!

Saula: Don"t be so angry, Tom. Christmas is the time for love and forgiving. Think of how unhappy she is. She"s got no friends, no family. Nobody gives her presents or says Merry Christmas.

Dorothy: Poor thing.

Alice: I"m so sorry.

Dorothy: And what if we give her a present?

Tom: A present for this ...

Alice: Oh, Tom, we must give her a present and say we are sorry nobody wants to be her friend. May be she isn"t as bad as she looks.

Dorothy: We can be her friends.

Saula: You are good girls! That"s just what we must do. Elves! Elves! Have you got one more stocking?

SCENE 7.

(Enter Elves)

1 st Elf: Merry Christmas Saula!

2 nd Elf: Who do you need a stocking for?

Saula: For Black Fairy.

Elves: Black Fairy?

Tom: These kind women feel sorry for her! And she has stolen the bag with Christmas presents! Have you ever heard anything like that!?

Saula: Tom, be a good boy today. Don"t forget it"s Christmas time.

Tom: O.K. I"ll show you that I can be good. I can even give Black Fairy my tooth as a present. And it"s the best thing I have got!

Dorothy: We"ve got some candies.

2 nd Elf: And I have a nice Christmas bell!

Saula: Here is an apple and a beautiful Christmas card from me. Let us put everything into the stocking and call Black fairy all together.

All: Black Fairy! Black Fairy!

SCENE 8.

(Enter Black Fairy)

Black Fairy: I haven"t seen your bag with presents! I"ve never touched it.

Saula: Dear, nobody thinks you have!

Alice: We just wanted to say to you -

All: Merry Christmas!

Dorothy: Christmas is the time for love, friendship and forgiving.

Tom: Here is a present for you, Black Fairy!

Black Fairy: A Christmas stocking? For me? Isn"t it a joke?

1 st Elf: No, Black Fairy, it isn"t a joke. We want to be your friends.

Black Fairy: Oh, thank you so much! And I am sorry. It was me. I took the presents. I didn"t want you to help Santa Claus because he never, never brings me presents. I am so sorry. Here is the bag. Forgive me, please!

Saula: We will forgive you if you help us to take the presents to the children. We must hurry or we"ll be late!

Black Fairy: Certainly, with great pleasure!

Saula: I"m leaving you now. You can do everything yourselves and I must help those who are unhappy today. Good-bye and merry Christmas! (exit Saula)

SCENE 9.

(Mrs.Claus and the Elves)

Mrs.Claus: Everything is ready. We helped Santa with the presents and his stocking is full of presents, too. And the tasty lunch is on the table. But there are no lights on the Christmas tree!

1 st Elf:

We"ll have to hurry to get things done
The computer shows he"s on his last run!

2 nd Elf: Yes, he is coming!

Mrs.Claus: Tom, Alice, Dorothy, come here! (Enter Tom, Alice, Dorothy). I can hear him. He"s going into his bedroom. Let"s turn off the lights and hide. (the stage remains dark and quiet) I"d better go and see what has happened to him. I don"t hear anything! (the lights go up, Mrs.Claus exits and immediately comes back)

Well, little friends, you needn"t hide
Santa"s too tired after his ride
The party food we"ll have to keep
Dear old Santa is fast asleep!

Tom: What if we wake him up?

Alice: Won"t he be angry? He is so tired.

Dorothy: I know a lovely Christmas song about Santa Claus. If we sing it he"ll wake up and won"t be angry.

I"m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
When the tree tops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I"m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
