( Учащиеся составляют примеры, используя слова на картине)

And who tells me what kind of holiday Christmas is.

Предполагаемые ответы учащихся:

P1: Christmas is a favorite and happy holiday for English children.

P2: Christmas is a religious holiday. On this day we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who was very kind and loved children very much.

P3: I think Christmas is a family holiday. Families come together to share their happiness and exchange gifts.

T: Children! I have prepared a surprise for you. Here is a magic box.

Let’s open it!

(Дети открывают волшебный сундучок по очереди и достают маленькие звоночки (bells), на которых привязаны ленточки. На ленточках задания):

1.What do you know about Christmas?

P1: The most popular holiday in Great Britain and America is Christmas. They celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas. Every year the people of Norway give the city of London a present. It’s a big Christmas tree and it stands in Trafalgar Square. Most families decorate their houses with a Christmas tree, buy gifts for the family and friends, write Christmas cards. In England almost every family receives more than 60 Christmas cards.

T: Предвкушение праздника порой приятнее, чем сам праздник! Чтобы растянуть это удовольствие, люди заранее готовят украшения к Рождеству. К празднику можно нарядить не только традиционные ёлки и венки, но и испечь какую-нибудь вкуснятину.

2. What traditional Christmas meals do you know?

P2: The traditional Christmas meals are roast turkey and Christmas pudding. In England people make Christmas pudding before Christmas. All the family stir the pudding and make a wish. It’s a traditional meal which people cook for Christmas party. They think that if they all take part in mixing it, they will be happy. When the pudding is hot they put 5-penny pieces in it, and sometimes little silver charms- a horseshoe, a button and a ring. A horseshoe means a happiness and good luck, a button-wealth, a ring-marriage. “рис.2”( ученик ставит пирог на стол и описывает технологию его приготовления).

3. What do you know about holiday crackers?

P3: If there are children in the family people usually have Christmas crackers. Inside them there are many surprising things. (Рис.3) ( ученик показывает изготовленные дома хлопушки). When you pull them they make a bang, and you’ll see a paper hat, a small toy or a piece of paper where the jokes or wishes are written on. Here are some jokes wishes:

1. “ What is clean when it is black, and white when it is dirty? ”

(A blackboard)

2. “ What did one wall say to the other one? “ (Meet you at the corner).

T: Незатейливую игрушку можно использовать не только в качестве ёлочной, но и как футляр для небольшого подарка. Если подарки адресованы конкретным людям, на хлопушке обязательно напишите имена, а если предполагается лотерея - пронумеруйте.

4. Who decorated the first Christmas tree?

P4: No one knows for sure. The custom of bringing an evergreen tree indoors decorating it at Christmas started in Germany. One legend says that Martin Luther started the practice. Luther was an imported Christian leader. According to the story he noticed the starlit sky as he walked home one Christmas Eve. He thought the stars looked as if they were shining on the branches. When Martin Luther arrived home he placed a small fir-tree inside the house. He decorated it with lighted candles. Decorating Christmas tree became popular in Germany. Prince Albert took the tradition to England. Both German and English people brought it to America.

T: Предполагают, что первые неукрашенные ёлки появились в Германии в VIII веке. Ещё жители Древнего Египта в декабре, в самый короткий день в году, приносили зелёные пальмовые ветви в свои дома как символ победы жизни над смертью. Жрецы-друиды вешали на дубовые ветки золотые яблоки во время праздника зимнего солнцестояния. Первое упоминание о ели связывают с монахом Бонифацием, который читал друидам проповедь о Рождестве. Чтобы убедить их в том, что дуб не является священным деревом, он срубил один из дубов. А когда тот падал, повалил на своём пути все деревья, кроме молодой ели. Бонифаций представил это как чудо и воскликнул: “ Да будет это дерево деревом Христа!”.

5. Why do people celebrate Christmas?

P5: It is celebrated оп December 25. The holiday is connected with the wonderful birth of Jesus Christ as it is described in the Holy Bible. Oп that day, about 2000 years ago, Lesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. When Jesus was born wise men from the East came to worship him. They gave the Child present – gold, frankicense and myrrh. That's why people nowadays try to please their friends and relatives giving them Christmas presents.

6. Where did Santa Claus come from?

T: Прообраз Санта Клауса – святой Николай, даритель подарков, “приехал” в Америку, в частности в Нью-Йорк, вместе с голландскими переселенцами в начале XIX века. Именно они ежегодно, в день святого Николая, выносили на улицу статую святого в длинной краснобелой мантии и пели песню о святом Николае – Занкта Клаусе ( по-голландски Sinterklaas). Этот праздник сопровождался раздачей небольших сувениров и привлекал всегда много народу. В 1822 году житель Нью-Йорка Клемент Кларк Мур написал серию сказок, где описал, как Санта Клаус прибывает в Америку на восьми северных оленях, а в дома попадает через дымоход и рядом с кроватью детей кладёт свои подарки (рождественские чулки).

P6: Traditionally, English children hang a long stocking at the end of the bed on Christmas Eve. In the morning they check whether the stocking has been filled with small toys, fruit and sweet. Larger toys will be near.

They enjoy Christmas presents.(Учащиеся показывают рождественские чулки, изготовленные дома).
