Magic
Book
(A party for young children)
Fairy: I’m a fairy, kind of
course.
I’ve come to the
school because
Clever boys and clever
girls
Are eager to work
wonders
Sometimes noisy,
sometimes lazy
And sometimes a little
crazy
Almost everything they
meet
On their way to future
sweet.
Only these curious
creatures
Who have all above
said features
Can supposedly change
the world
Not for glory, not for
gold.
I have brought for
them a present
To my mind very
pleasant
It’s a lovely magic
book
That I’d found in a
nook.
On its ancient precious
pages
There’s much interest
to all ages
As the book in
wisdom’s rich
It can entertain and
teach.
A boy while playing with a ball
finds a book.
Oleh: Anton, Yana ,
have a look
I have found magic
book.
Anton: It’s too heavy and too old
What if it is made of
gold?
It is made of grease
proof paper.
Oleh: Books are real gift and
treasure.
They can bring a lot
of pleasure.
Shall we start to read at once?
I don’t want miss
this happy chance.
Anton, please, call
all our friends.
Anton: Artem, Yanek, Liza,
Sasha,
Vika, Zhanna, Serhiy, Dasha,
Do you wonna have a
look
At the precious
magic book?
Children: Can we read it? Let us try!
Help to open it,
guys!
Please, be
careful! Don’t run!
Hush! Attention!
It’s page one!
Page one invites children to
the world of poetry. Children are encouraged to recite as many poems as they
can.
The Snowman
Come to the garden
And play in the snow,
Make a white snowman
And help him to grow!
“What a nice snowman!”
The children will say.
“What a wonderful day
For a cold winter day!”
What Do We Plant?
What do we plant
When we plant the tree?
We plant the ship
Which will cross the sea.
What do we plant
When we plant the tree?
We plant the houses for you and me
What do we plant
When we plant the tree?
A thousand things
That we daily see.
Where are you going to,
My little cat?
I’m going to town to buy a hat.
What? A hat?
A hat for a cat?
A cat in a hat?
Who ever saw a cat in a hat?
My Dog
My dog is clever, strong and quick,
His name is Spot, my name is Nick,
My dog is nice, my dog is gay,
We are together every day.
Through heavy snow, rain and fog
I’m always walking with my dog.
My father often tells me, “Mind!
The dog must not be left behind”.
Winter Is Snowy
Winter is snowy, winter is frosty,
The ground is white all day and all night.
This is the season when children can ski,
Play snowballs and dance round the New Year tree.
The Weather
When the weather is wet
We must not fret.
When the weather is dry
We must not cry.
When the weather is cold
We must not scold.
When the weather is warm
We must not storm.
But be thankful together
Whatever the weather.
Good Night
Good night, Father,
Good night, Mother,
Kiss your little son.
Good night, sister,
Good night, brother,
Good night, everyone.
My Cat
My cat is nice.
Her name is Rice.
She catches mice.
Rice, take a slice!
Rice likes green trees,
Milk, fish and cheese.
She hates street dogs
And even frogs.

This is the cow
That tossed the dog

That was in the house that Jack built.
Fairy: In their talents I believed.
How much pleasure I received!
Now it’s time to
go farther.
Hope, you’ll be
astonished rather.
Page two is for the world of
music and songs. Children sing favourite songs and dance.
Song “I will ride my bicycle”
Song “My name is Margarita”
Song “Bingo”
Dance “Welcome to our world”
Fairy: Music will forever live,
It won’t die, I
do believe.
What is another page? You ask.
It has a sign
– a theatrical mask.
Page three takes you to the
world of theatre and dramatization. Children perform a play “Three Bears”
Three
Bears
Narrator: The scene is taking place in the wood in the
house of three bears. They are sitting at the table and drinking milk.
Mother Bear: Take your cup, Father!
Father Bear: Thank you!
Mother Bear: Take your little cup, Baby!
Baby Bear: Thank you Mummy, dear… Mother, it’s too hot.
Father Bear: Then, let’s go for a walk.
Narrator: The three bears go out of the room. In a while
a little girl comes in and looks around.
Little Girl: Whose room can it be? (Looking at the table) I
am hungry.
Narrator: The girl sits down at the table and takes a
cup of milk.
Little girl: Oh, this milk is too hot for me! Oh this milk is too cold for me! This milk is
just right for me! Oh, what the noise?
Narrator: The girl hears the bears’ steps and quickly hides
under the table. The bears enter the room and take their places at the table.
Father Bear: My cup is not full!
Mother Bear: My cup is not full either!
Baby Bear: And my cup is empty! (They look around)
Father Bear: Oh, who is this? It’s a little girl!
All together: Let’s eat her up!
Little girl: No, you won’t!
Narrator: The girl jumps out of the window and runs
away. She’ll never come to the woods alone any more!
Fairy: Here let’s stop and look around.
Have you lost
anything or found?
Children: Oh, dear fairy, thanks
a lot.
The book had
really a magic plot.
It has taught
us to bring joy
To every girl
and every boy.
Fairy: Next time I’ll fetch
a magic boat
That will take
you to unknown world.
Winter
Tale
Scenario
Compere 1
Dear
guests! Thank you for coming! We’re going to invite you to the fascinating
world of winter tale.
Compere 2
Winter?
Br-r-r. don’t you think many of our guests would prefer another season, a
warmer one, with sunshine, flowers?
Compere 1
Well, you
won’t see flowers! Big deal! How about a huge skating rink right in the yard.
This miracle will stun you for sure!
Someone
painted pictures on my
Window pane
last night—
And
flowers—frosty white
And lovely
butterflies;
But when
the morning sun
Touched
them with its golden beams,
They
vanished one by one!
Compere2
Agreed,
then. Of course, winter comes to us every year. If you look through the window,
you can see it. If you go outside, you’ll feel how cold it is. And if you want,
you can even talk to her. Let’s call lady Winter with her loyal companions –
tender and beautiful snowflakes.
(Dance of Winter and
snowflakes)
Lady Winter:
Winter is
the queen of showmen
Turning tree stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over lakes
Smooth and clean and frosty white
The world looks good enough to bite
That's the season to be young
Catching snowflakes on your tongue
Snow is snowy when it's snowing
I'm sorry it's slushy when it's going
Snowflake 1
Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winters night.
Graceful
beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that's spun afar.
Till
earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.
Snowflake 2
Snowflakes
fall on trees and walk
Snowflakes
fall as white as chalk.
Snowflakes
fall into my hand
Snowflakes brighten
up our land.
Snowflake 3
Snowflakes,
snowflakes,
Dance around.
Snowflakes, snowflakes,
Touch the ground.
Snowflakes, snowflakes,
In the air.
Snowflakes, snowflakes,
Everywhere.
Lady
Winter:
I’m the
coldest season of the year. When I come all the rivers and lakes are frozen.
Snowflakes dance in the air. When the sun sends its rays to the earth
everything sparkles like diamonds. You’ll never see such a wonderful pictures in any other season! My
months are December, January and February. Meet them – they’re joyful fellows.
December, January and
February appear playing snowballs.
December
Chill
December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire
and Christmas treat.
I’m the
month when snow is nice
When
children skate on the strong ice.
January
January
brings the snow,
Makes your
feet and fingers glow.
I’m the
month when wind is chill
And icicles
hang from the window sills.
February
February
brings the rain.
Thaws the
frozen lake again.
I’m the
month when mornings are dark,
And birds
do not sing in the forest and park.
Someone
painted pictures on my
Window pane
last night—
And
flowers—frosty white
And lovely
butterflies;
But when
the morning sun
Touched
them with its golden beams,
They
vanished one by one!
Compere 2
Winter is a
snowball season. My father and I have snowball fights all the time. We used to
make huge forts, elaborate designs of snow and ice sculpted by frozen hands, to
protect ourselves from the hard-packed snowballs. When I was little, I needed a
fort because I couldn’t plow through snow to run away as I can today.
Compere 1
Winter is
my favorite season. I can't wait for the first snow fall. It is always so
pretty when you look out and all you see is a blanket of white on everything.
It is so beautiful. Everything is equal in the snow: all trees, all lawns, all streets, all
rooftops, all cars. Everything is white,
white, white, as far as you can see.
Compere 2
Winter is
my favorite season. It is the prettiest, with bright rays of sunlight glinting
off the fresh snow and ice sculptures in the trees and shadows playing tricks
with your eyes on the ground. The slow-falling flakes that never seem to stop
spread a feeling of peace and relaxation. Looking at them fall is always fun,
as you watch them flit back and forth in the light breeze, trying to find two
identical flakes. If you could just go outside and lie down in the fresh snow,
all your worries would disappear. The snow muffles and quiets everything, so if
you close your eyes, you could easily fall asleep. It’s bliss.
Compere 1
There are
many reasons why I love winter which falls in December. Generally people have
better mood during winter. Love can be seen spreading much more around during
winter , most people want to hold hands and hug one another more often to keep
themselves warm. They want to be home to share a warm winter with family. Then
if you are all alone then winter would feel especially harsh and cold.
Compere 2
I'm
thankful for ice sculptures and snowmen.
Winter is the season of ice sculptures and snowmen! At no other time of
the year can you see so many of them about in the open air! Some of them make
you laugh if they're particularly silly, some of them make you smile if they're
particularly cute and all of them bring a sense of fun to your day. Why not to
have fun making a snowman together?
Winter
came down to our home one night
Quietly
pirouetting in on silvery-toed
slippers of snow,
And
we, we were children once again.
Pupil 1
Snowflakes,
snowflakes falling down,
On the trees and on the ground.
I will build a man of snow,
Tall black hat and eyes of coal.
If the sun comes out today,
I will watch you melt away!
Children are making a
snowman
music
Pupil 2
A chubby
little snowman
Had a carrot nose
Along came a rabbit
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny,
Looking for his lunch,
ATE the snowman's carrot nose...
Nibble, nibble, CRUNCH!
Pupils
The Snowman
One day we built a snowman,
We built him out of snow;
You should have seen how fine he was,
All white from top to toe.
Pupils play, dance and take photos at the
snowman
We poured some water over him,
To freeze his legs and ears;
And when we went indoors to bed,
We thought he'd last for years.
But, in the night a warmer kind
Of wind began to blow;
And Jack Frost cried and ran away,
And with him went the snow.
When we went out next morning
To bid our friend 'Good Day',
There wasn't any snowman there...
He'd melted right away!
Compere 1
I'm
thankful for winter because I enjoy the feeling of freshness in the air when it
is cool and nippy.
Compere 2
I'm thankful for the joy of warmth and
coziness! Whenever it's cold outside, I
find that my appreciation of simple things like warming up on a radiator,
snuggling up under a warm blanket, sipping a steaming mug of hot chocolate, or
warming my hands on a crackling fireplace are suddenly increased!
Compere 1
I'm thankful for pretty Christmas lights and
decorations. When winter roles round, you know that Christmas is just round the
corner, and one of my favorite sights in winter is seeing the beautiful
Christmas decorations and sparkling Christmas lights that cities and local
people put up, adorning streets, trees, and houses.
Compere 2
I'm thankful for the excitement of the first
snowfall. Every year, the day when the first snowflake falls I can't help but
feel a huge excitement. Maybe it's because snow can be so beautiful as it falls. It can be hypnotic watching one snowflake
fall after another, and another, and another... Maybe it's because snow makes the world look
like a majestic winter wonderland, as if everything is covered in icing sugar.
Compere 1
I'm thankful for snow on car windows. One
thing I love to do is to leave a fun message in the snow that's on a parked car
window, knowing that it'll probably bring a smile to the face of the car owner.
I may leave a smiley face or a heart, or
a funny message if one pops to mind.
Compere 2
I'm thankful for snow turning the world into a
playground! Snow enables you to turn hills into fun slides you can sledge down,
it turns mountainsides into slides you can ski down and it turns fields and
gardens into an area to create snow masterpieces like a snowman, a snow angel -
or it provides a great ground for a snowball fight!
Compere 1
I'm
thankful for the opportunity to wear silly hats and scarves! Warm hats that
look like animals, cute scarves, gloves and ear muffs can all bring a sense of
fun to winter!
Compere 2
I'm
thankful for the beauty of snow-capped mountains.
Compere 1
I'm
thankful for the opportunity to see the Northern Lights. Winter is a great time to see the Northern
Lights, seen best in the dark months of winter. It's such a unique sight - so
beautiful and magical!
Compere 2
I'm
thankful for the chance to ski and ride snowmobiles! It can be a lot of fun to zip around on skis
and snowmobiles and you can only do this in winter!
Compere 1
I'm
thankful for the opportunuty to reunite with family and friend at Christmas.
For Christians,
winter time is the perfect time to have family and friend reunited as you gather together to celebrate the
Holidays and have the wonderful Christmas feast and festivities together.
Compere 2
I'm thankful for the magical effect winter
weather has on light. When the world is snow-covered and the street lamps shine
over the snow, it gives a really special appearance that doesn't exist if the
snow weren't there. The way the snow reflects the lamp light and the moonlight
is really special.
Compere 1
I'm thankful for cosy fleeces and sweaters.
Winter fleeces and soft sweaters can be so comfortable and warm! Warm and cosy
winter boots can also be fun to wear.
Compere 2
I'm
thankful for winter drinks like hot chocolate! In winter, many coffee shops and cafes come up
with all sorts of new and delicious varieties of hot chocolate to try. So many yummy versions to taste and enjoy!
Compere1
. I'm
thankful for the opportunity to ice skate. As lakes freeze over and ice rinks
appear, you may enjoy the fun of slipping and sliding over them, feeling the
smooth ice glide beneath your feet and the crisp air caressing your rosy cheeks
as you whizz round the ice rink!
Compere 2
I'm thankful for the increased appreciation
for the sun and light. After some weeks
or months of cold, dark and grey days, if you get a beautiful day of blue skies
and sun, you notice that you appreciate it so much more! It cheers your heart
and brings a smile to your face.
Compere1
Winter is
the time for comfort, for good food and warm touch of a friendly hand and for a
talk beside the fire: it is the time for home, the time for cartoons…
Winter in Prostokvashino
Matroskin:
You won’t believe it.
-
Right.
-Look what’s happened.
-
Right.
-
it is the end of the 20th century is outside.
-
Right!
But we've got only one pair of felt boots for the
two of us. Like in days of yore.
Right.
Pechkin: Why did it happen this way? Don't you have
any means? I mean, don't you have enough money?
Matroskin:
We have the means but some of them don’t
have the brains. I told this hunter 'buy
yourself felt boots'. But what has he done?
Pechkin: What’s he?
Matroskin:
He's bought for himself sneakers. 'It's smarter', - he said.
Pechkin: He's done it even not having a think. Our national village clothes for winter are
what? These are felt boots, trousers lined with wadding, sheepskin coats and
fur-lined caps. Even our students don't wear sneakers in winter. He's a booby,
a booby. Tell him about it. Open his
eyes to make it clear.
Matroskin:
I can't 'cause we haven’t been talking to each other for already two days.
Sharik:
Not two but three.
Pechkin: It's no problem, you can send him a telegram
or a letter - the post is made for that.
The things you cannot say in a word could be
written in a letter. What form? A simple one or a greetings one?
Matroskin: A simple one, of course! Why
do I need to give him a treat?
Sharik:
He doesn't want to give me a treat, ha! I don't need anything from you!
Pechkin: I haven't simple ones just greetings ones.
Matroskin: Unforeseen expenses again!
Okay, give me your greetings one.
Sharik
, you're a booby.
Pechkin: That's not right! If it's a greetings form
you have to send your greetings to an addressee first.
Matroskin:
Okay, so... I'm sending you my
greetings, Sharik, you're a booby! What's to write next?
Pechkin: They usually used to write about the weather
Matroskin:
- The weather? Our weather is nice.
Sharik:
Heh-heh-heh! 'Nice' you said! The snowstorm is howling for two days, bow! I
don't feel like shooting because of the snow!
Pechkin: And you stop talking, Mr. Dog. If you'll
answer the letter you'll write about your own weather.
Sharik:
But I won't answer his letter! I'm gonna
throw him a poker now, let it hit him! Gonna show him how to call me names!
Pechkin: Why do you need to throw it if there's a
post? Now we'll pack it and hand it the cat.
It
comes out as a small parcel.
They mailed you a poker in a small parcel,
they wanted to hit you by it.
Matroskin:
What did he say? I'm gonna throw him an
iron for that, let it hit him!
Pechkin: Just a minute! It has more than 1 kilo, it
comes out as a big parcel.
Now
we'll deliver it. And if you roll a cask onto him - it comes out as a container traffic.
All children gather on the stage and sing a
song “If there’s no winter snow”
If there is no winter-snow,
In the villages and towns
Hardly we could ever known
Jolly days of smiles!
Never kids being around
Snowy-girl in gown,
Never ski-track's running
down,
If there is no winter-snow…
Never ski-track's running down,
If there is no winter-snow…
If the summer's year round
and no winter ever,
Never we should learn about
Christmas' crazy fever.
Santa Claus wasn't leaping
Up the pits and holes,
River stopped the
icy-freezing
If there is no winter snows.
River stopped the
icy-freezing
If there is no winter snows.
If there is no winter- snow
In the villages and towns,
Hardly we could ever known
Jolly days of smiles!
Compere1
Our party is
over. We hope you we managed to get you warm in this chilly winter day as
Japanese proverb says that one kind word can warm three winter months.
Compere 2
Good-bye
friends! See you next time.

Objectives: to enlarge pupils’ knowledge
about music, to develop their creative abilities, to practice pupil’s
communicative skills, to contribute to pupil’s love to music and good taste.
Compere
1: There are different countries in the world. They differ in size, political
system, development of economy, cultural traditions etc. They are inhabited
with people of different nations and races. Some countries are small, the other
ones occupy the whole continents.
Compere 2: There is one unusual country. It
is as large as a world. It is as charming as a fairy tale. It occupies all
continents as well as big and small islands. It is washed by the Sound Ocean Waltz Sea , Song Lakes , Symphony
Rivers
Compere 1: Great Mountain Classic
Mountains
Compere 2: There are many cities and towns
there: Wood-wind City ,
String Town
Compere 1: You can get to the country if you
have rich imagination and “a good ear”. Today we offer you to touch the
wonderful world of music. Be with us and we guarantee you plenty of music, good
mood and only positive emotions.
Compere 2: Two bright teams of sixthformers
will lead us to the magic world of music. Let’s invite them to the stage.
Compere 1: Are you sure Aliona
these little kids know anything about music?
Compere 2: At least I know we’ll have a good
chance to be convinced of it. As for me I like this team. Girls, how should we
call you?
Team 1: “Rhythm” is our name. We are fond of
music though we have different tastes in it.
As for me music is a part of my life. I
can’t spend a day without music. In the morning I prefer fast rhythmical music,
it’s like a cup of coffee or a cool shower that encourages and revives me.
Music helps me relax. After school I usually
come home very tired and exhausted. I listen to music, sometimes it is slow and
sometimes rhythmical, and feel that my tiredness disappears, and I am full of
energy again.
So music lives in our hearts and inspires us
to victories.
Compere 1: Thanks a lot. But I would rather
pay attention to this team. It must be stronger. There are two boys here. Boys,
how is your team called?
Team 2: We would like to be called “Chord”.
Compere 2: -
Oh I know, three chords, basic for music. Do you hope to win?
-
Yes, sure.
Compere 1.
- And why are there 7 of you? Do you think this magic number will help
you to win?
-
Maybe, but the competitive team also
has 7 players. I think we chose this number because 7 notes make such variety
of music. They are really powerful.
Compere 1. - And what are those notes?
-
They are CDEFGAB.
Compere 2: Yulia, did you know that? These
young participants must be very clever. Especially my favourite team.
Compere 1: Hold your horses. Let’s check it
up! For warming up I offer them to name as many musical instruments as they
can. Do it in turn, please.
…
Now our respectful jury have to express
their first impressions and give the first marks for introducing the teams and
warming up
Compere 2: And while the jury are discussing
the matter I invite Alina Savchuk to this stage.
Compere 1: Thank you, jury. And we go on.
Today we would like you, dear competitors, to take part in contests:
-
we know music;
-
we hear music;
-
we draw music;
-
we perform music.
Now both teams will get sheets of paper with
names of famous composers and the countries where they lived. The task is to
match the country and the name. Good luck!

Let’s ask the jury to announce
the results.
Compere 1: Aliona, what do we have next?
Compere 2: I guess it’s one of the most
interesting contests “We draw music” Now all of you will listen to famous
“Caprice” by Nicollo Paganini. The melody will sound during 5 min. The competitors
are to draw what they feel and imagine. My dear friends I believe in your gift.
Compere 1: Do you know a famous French
writer Emile Zola?
Compere 2: So what?

nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work”.
Compere 2:
I’m all for it. Everybody to work.
Compere 1: I wish I were so creative! I
think both teams were perfect. And what about you, jury?
Compere 2: To tell you the truth I’ve always
dreamt to play any musical instrument or sing like a nightingale.
Compere 1: Have you ever tried?
Compere 2: ?.. Let’s ask our younger
friends. Are you ready to perform music?
Compere 1: It’s not easy to
judge at the competition but we ask the jury to evaluate the last contest and some
up the results. (track04)
Compere 2: At this high note I would like to
thank every participant of our today’s show, to greet the winners, to wish
music and inspiration never leave you. Thanks a lot and hope to see you again.
