(A. Malinin's song “Christmas Rus'” sounds)

Lead 1 and 2 come out:

This holiday is celebrated by millions of people around the world. They are united by one thing - faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas has become an event for humanity. Now we are counting the years from the birth of the Savior.

2 – At our holiday, we will tell you the story of Christmas, introduce you to the culture of our ancestors. Of course, one should not idealize the past. But all the same, we must honor and respect the traditions and customs of our people, understanding that a person of that time was brought up by the environment and the way in which he was. Our ancestors had a lively Christmas tradition of waiting and performing a miracle. And miracles did happen.

Reader:

Here comes the Christmas feast
The tree was cut down.
And in the clothes of the celebration
Lushly dressed up.
Here is a row of candles on the Christmas tree,
twisted lollipop,
Juicy grapes in bunches
Gingerbread gilded.
Suddenly overgrown with fruits
dark branches,
The tree was brought into the room -
Have fun kids!
The mother works for the children
Read them toys
Remove the tree for them -
Busy day and night.

2nd leader:

In the old days, preparations for the holiday began on the last week before Christmas. In the evening, the whole family glued toys, painted nuts in silver and gold for the Christmas tree.

Decorating a Christmas tree is the most enjoyable activity. We dress it up with bright balls, garlands, rain. And earlier, just a few only 200 - 300 years ago, the Christmas tree was decorated with a vegetable from the garden, which was previously decorated.

(dress up a small artificial Christmas tree, show the children how our ancestors decorated the Christmas tree).

What vegetable was hung on the Christmas tree?

Potato. At first it was silver-plated and gilded potatoes. Then they learned how to blow glass balls, and the art of making them was kept in the strictest confidence and was passed down by masters by inheritance. These balls were expensive, many could not afford.

Now the good tradition of hanging sweets on the Christmas tree has already been lost, but it’s much tastier and more tempting for children to remove sweets from the Christmas tree and eat them than to get them off the table.

What sweetness was used to decorate a Christmas tree in Rus'?

Gingerbread.

Previously, children in Rus', even in rich families, did not eat sweets randomly and almost every day, but received them for a holiday, in a bag. Sometimes sweets were hung on the Christmas tree, and then the children received them as a prize.

First they hung ruddy apples on the Christmas tree, then tangerines, then gilded and silver nuts, crackers and, of course, gingerbread.

And what main toy Christmas? Or is it also called the good herald of Christmas?

Of course, an angel. It was very expensive to buy this toy in the store at that time, so they made it themselves. Literally everything was used: cotton wool, silk, tulle. paper, fluff, feathers.

New Year and Christmas cards also have their own history. For the first time in Russia, a postcard appeared a little over 100 years ago (1898). Money from the cards sold went to charity. Artists tried to make them not just beautiful, but sometimes real works of art. It was covered with gloss, velvet, and the snow was prepared from boric acid and was surprisingly similar to the real one. The subjects of the drawings were different: these are funny kids sledding down the mountains, young people caroling with the Star of Bethlehem, funny little animals, angels, candles on Christmas trees.

There was a time when the Soviet government banned the production of a Christmas card. She did not recognize the Christmas holiday, and only recently there were postcards with a joyful inscription: “Happy New Year!”, “Merry Christmas!”.

Do you know the first biblical Christmas decoration? Name it.

This is the Star of Bethlehem. It was a special joy to make the Star of Bethlehem, which was supposed to crown forest beauty. The legend says: “When the Divine baby was born, everyone rejoiced around, everything rejoiced. At the entrance to the cave where Christ was born, there were 3 trees: a palm tree, an olive tree and a Christmas tree. They also wanted to offer their gifts to Christ.

A palm tree laid a luxurious leaf at the baby's feet, an olive tree filled the cave with a fragrant aroma. One tree has nothing to give. Out of embarrassment, she bowed her branches low to the ground. But suddenly a thousand multi-colored stars fell on the branches of the Christmas tree. She became so elegant and beautiful that when the baby woke up, his eyes stopped on a beautiful shining Christmas tree. He smiled and extended his arms towards her.

An angel descended from heaven and said to the tree: “Let this be your reward for your humility. You will always wear an evergreen robe and every year you will celebrate Christmas with shining stars that will decorate your branches.

Sprouted grains of rye (zhita) were also placed under the Christmas tree along with gifts - a symbol of new life and a generous harvest.

1st host:(against the background of folk music)

The day before Christmas was called Christmas Eve (January 6). By January 6, that is, by Christmas Eve, they did a big cleaning in the huts, rubbed the floors with juniper, and covered the tables with clean tablecloths. Until January 6, they kept a fast, ate only kutya with honey and juicy. Only in the evening, with the appearance of the first star, did the fast end. People kneaded pies, put pancakes, kneaded dough for donuts. Cooked festive table. In order for the baby Christ to look into the house, all kinds of toys were placed on the window.

The stove was well heated in the house. The stove in the house played a major role. There was even a saying: “dance from the stove”, that is, start with the main thing. The stove was used for space heating and cooking. They slept on the stove, stored things, dried grain, onions, garlic. In winter, birds and young animals were kept near it. According to popular belief, Domovoy lives under the stove or behind it - the soul of the hut, the patron of the hearth, kind and helpful, if there is harmony and love in the house. In the old days, he was affectionately called “master” or “grandfather”. And they represented him in the guise of a little peasant with a gray beard. The main duty of the brownie is to look after the household, help with housework.

There is a red corner diagonally from the stove in the hut. It was a holy place - icons were placed in it. Therefore, the place was called "holy". In the red corner, daily prayers were performed, from which any important business began.

They tried to keep the red corner clean and smartly decorate. The name "red" means beautiful, good and bright.

There was also a table in the red corner. All significant events family life were marked in the red corner, along the table were benches and benches. All this was festively cleaned for Christmas with Christmas tree branches.

Angel: A golden star lit up in the sky, this star is not at all simple!
I proclaim to you a great joy that will be all!
Today the Savior of the world Jesus Christ was born. See what light?
He brought love into the world. And each of you felt it in your heart.
God chose to become human so that he could die for us. To say with this: “I am. I love you".
(leaves)

Star:(dances to music)

My path is far. The sun will rise -
I will dissolve with the sky.
I'll wait for the night - I'll light up again
Before human eyes.
(sings the song "Christmas")

Angel:

That night the earth was in a state of turmoil...
The light of a large outlandish star
Illuminated all the mountains and villages, cities, deserts and gardens.
And in the desert the lionesses watched as they were full of wondrous gifts
Chariots moved silently, camels and elephants walked importantly.
And in the brow of a large caravan, looking up into the sky
Three kings in intricate turbans rode to bow to someone.
And in the cave, where the torches did not go out all night, blinking and
There the lambs saw a beautiful sleeping child in a manger.
That night the whole creature was in a state of excitement.
Birds sang in the midnight haze, announcing goodwill to all.
The coming of peace on earth.
(leaves)

Star:

In the gentle warm palms of the earth
The City of David sleeps peacefully.
And from afar, the Magi brought gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The stars of Bethlehem echo the rays of angels to the wondrous scherzo
A quiet motive, like an echo sounds in a pure shepherd's heart.
Night reigns, the dawn is still long, the sky is like the belly of a vessel.
And light pours out of the manger - a miracle uncovered by darkness.
Herod suffers from insomnia. Fear writhes in velvet folds.
And the child in the mother's arms has a serene and sweet dream.
And the signs of his visit are still clear to the unloved
Sleeping like a baby wrapped in dreams
The world in the cradle of forgiveness.
(leaves)

Wanderer:(against the background of music)

I will tell you a story that happened over 2,000 years ago. This is the story of how the son of God Jesus Christ was born on earth. His mother was the girl Maria. Even before her birth, Mary's parents made a vow to dedicate the girl to the service of God. When Mary was 3 years old, according to tradition, she was first introduced into the temple. From a young age until her girlhood, Mary had to live at the temple. She was raised there for 12 years. Having reached the age of majority, the girl had to leave the temple. The priest, as it should be, chose for her a "betrothed" - an elderly widower, in whose house she, keeping a vow, would keep house. The choice fell on Joseph of Nazareth. After the betrothal, Mary settled in the house of Joseph, where an event took place that the church reveres as one of the biggest holidays - the Annunciation. An angel appeared to the Virgin Mary and announced that she would give birth to the Son of the Most High.

Jesus is born common man and grew up in an ordinary family. Christ was born to atone for the sins of all people. He brought goodness and light into the world. Jesus healed suffering and sickness: the blind began to see, the deaf to hear, and the lame to walk.

Jesus wanted people to become better, so that we become like God.

(song "Christ is born")

Wanderer:

All Orthodox Christians celebrate the most big celebration on earth - holy Christmas.

What is the divine meaning of this holiday? The first people were immortal and pure until they committed original sin. People have forgotten God. The world has plunged into evil. But the star of Bethlehem lit up in the sky. The Lord sent His Son for our salvation. People again became the sons of God. Jesus Christ atoned for our sins by His death. This holiday is called the mother of all holidays in the world. He teaches us to believe, educates our hearts so that we learn to forgive, sympathize, understand each other, be tolerant of the shortcomings of others - in a word, so that we learn to love the people around us. Everyone will come to faith, but everyone has their own way. Faith grows from the very depths of human nature. A person cannot live without faith, without support. His world must necessarily include a sense of faith: in God, in salvation, in happiness. For good, for yourself. And if there is no faith, a breakdown occurs in the soul. A person hardens, becomes angry, cynical.

From time immemorial, our people have been distinguished by strong faith. He was close to God.

2 host:

The 12 days from Christmas to Epiphany are called Sviatki - holy days. The first week, from Christmas to the New Year according to the old style, passed in continuous fun, there was a walk, they went caroling. Our ancestors believed that in icy December the sun dies and then comes back again.

The celebration of the resurgent sun was Kolyada. Children and youth gathered, went from house to house with songs - carols, and the hosts treated the guests. According to the custom, carolers should be greeted with refreshments and generously bestowed. There is such a sign: the better the treat, the more successful the year.

(a Russian hut is on stage, the owner is at the table.

Enter carolers with a star)

Carolers:

- Kolyada came on the eve of Christmas!
Give me a cow, an oil head!
God bless whoever is in this house!
The rye is thick for him, the rye is stingy!
He has an octopus from an ear, a carpet of grain for him.
From half-grain - a pie. The Lord would give you
And life, and life, and wealth!
And the Lord will create for you even better than that!

- You are a good uncle! Give money to pass!
You give out - you don’t give out, we will wait, stand at the gate!
Golden head, silk beard!
You give a pie for the feast of Christ
A pie - at least fresh, at least sour, but wheaten!
(they eat and leave)

Master:

Everything that was given in the houses, the children put in a bag, and then ate it together. This is how they had fun from January 7 to 14 in a new style.

The children will dress up in whatever they want: beggars, old men, they will take the basket and go home, they will go into the house and let's dance, praise the owners.

(carolers enter)

1 caroler:

Kolyada! Kolyada! Holy carol!
We walked, we were looking for a holy carol.
We found a carol near Ivanov's yard.
Ivanov yard on 7 pillars, on 8 versts,
The pillars are chiseled and gilded.
Here the lady lived, the empress lived.
She gave us a pie.
Serve a pie - a whole yard of the stomach,
If you don’t serve a pie, I’ll steal it from the yard!

2 carolers:

Carols - carols, the snow is streaming prickly,
An early star rises - lights the Christmas trees.
The snow crunches under the windows, the ice is rolled smooth,
If you are not greedy, you will be full: give carols
Sweet Christmas Eve!
Ancient wisdom is holy and famous in carols:
If there is kindness in the heart, there will be more in the bins!
Carol - carol! The cold doesn't matter to you!
Conjure a Christmas carol wedding.
May the Lord send a fruitful year.
Yes, bread on the table and peace on earth!
(bow, eat and leave)

Master:

Our ancestors believed that words have a special mysterious power. If you come to the house and sing a song to the owner with calls for happiness and harvest, then these wishes will certainly come true. It happened that the owner was greedy or did not give anything, then carolers sang mischievous carols with comic threats:

1 caroler:

If you don't give a pie, you'll make an enemy.
If you don’t give kvass, you will make melancholy.
If you don't give a blink, there will be poverty for centuries!
Serve, don't break, don't bite!
Don't give me the pie - we'll bring the cow by the horns!
(the caroler quickly leaves; the owner leaves the stage)

1 leader:

There is no other holiday in Rus', which was accompanied by such a rich set of customs, rituals and signs, as the Christmas holiday.

Christmas time is a mixture of pagan and Christian rites. pagans Ancient Rus' praised Kolyada - the god of feasts and peace. During Christmas time, it was customary to dress up in various costumes and wear masks. Until now, this tradition has been preserved: to go from house to house and sing carols. Similar ceremonies were held three times during Christmas time: on Christmas Eve, under New Year and on the eve of Epiphany.

Well, on the night of the 13th to the 14th, the Orthodox New Year begins. It is customary to celebrate this holiday with dumplings, but not simple ones, but with surprises. "Surprise" is a prediction of the future. It was important to chew the dumpling carefully so as not to swallow the surprise. If an owl gets into a dumpling, it means mind, wisdom; heart - mutual love; barbell - strength, health; thread - road, grain - wealth; flower - happiness; button - update; sugar - sweet life; pepper - a thrill; salt is a quarrel.

Well, of course, who doesn't want to know their future? And although this is not encouraged by the Christian religion, on the night of January 13 to 14, everyone was guessing.

Fortune-telling has been an integral part of the culture of rituals, part of the most ancient ritual culture. The most suitable days for divination were Monday and Friday, Thursday was known as the day of the Sabbath of all evil spirits. According to legend, on Black Thursday, the council of demons decided to destroy Jesus Christ. The most ancient Slavs guessed on mugs. They painted wooden mugs black and white. They threw it on the ground and looked at what color the circle would be.

There was also such a sign: whoever sneezes on New Year's Eve will live a great year. On this day, they tried not to drink wine, not to swear. After all, it was believed how you spend New Year's Day, so it will be all year.

2 host:

And here's another guess. On this day, they brought a sieve of snow into the hut and put as many marked spoons on it as there are people in the family. Then they filled the spoons with water and took them out into the cold. In whose spoon the water hardens evenly, he will live a long time. On New Year's Eve, it was not customary to borrow or lend, and no chickens were fed. They looked for grain under the table - if they found it, then this is for a good life, for a generous harvest.

Often fortune telling on a dish. Young people, who wanted to know what awaits them next year, took a large dish. They poured water into it and threw rings. They sang in chorus, and someone alone, without looking, took out someone's ring from a cup. What was being sung about at that moment was what awaited the owner of the ring. After divination on a dish, the girls ran out into the yard and threw a shoe over the fence. Where he will show, in that direction is the house of the future husband.

Yes, there are a lot of guesses in the world. Here's the simplest: go outside the gate, and ask the first person you meet for the name. What name he calls, this will be the groom's. Fortune telling at Christmas time and alone. The girl put a basin of water in front of her, launched 2-3 boats: one with her name, the others with the names of the suitors. Whose boat will catch up with her, he will be the groom.

And at midnight the most terrible divination began. A girl sits down in front of a mirror, candles are burning on the sides. And he sits, does not move, carefully peers into the darkness. Will someone's image be reflected? If he appears, you need to quickly cover the mirror with a handkerchief, otherwise, according to legend, someone will hit you hard.

(fortune-telling scene)

1 leader:

In the villages, there was such a fortune-telling: a girl before going to bed put 4 torches under her pillow, folded in the form of a 4-gon. This was called "putting a well under your head." At the same time, she says the usual phrase: “Betrothed - mummers, come, water the horse!”.

Often they guessed in the baths. This is the only place where there are no icons. They sat in front of a mirror, lit candles, froze with fear, peering into the mysterious darkness until they fainted. They also guessed like this: they brought a chicken, put a mirror, a ring, a piece of bread, water in front of it. If she began to drink water, then this meant that the husband would be a drunkard, if you look in the mirror, then the husband would be a dandy, and if the chicken pecked at a piece of bread, then this meant that the husband would be a good host.

Leaders 1 and 2.

1: But everything, as they say, comes to an end. With the advent of the feast of the Epiphany, the fun with the mummers, fortune-telling ends at the ice hole, called the Jordan. The hole cools the heated ardor and washes away all sins. Houses, buildings, gardens were sprinkled with holy water, driving away all evil spirits from them.

According to legend, Jesus Christ was baptized at the age of 30 by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. The rite of Baptism - washing with water symbolized the beginning of the feat of Jesus Christ in the name of the salvation of mankind.

2: During Baptism, as the Gospel testifies, the Savior prayed to his Heavenly Father. During the prayer, the heavens opened up, and the Holy Spirit descended on the Savior in the form of a dove and a voice was heard: “Behold my beloved son.” This is how the appearance of the heavenly father of Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, took place. Hence the second name of the holiday - Epiphany. It is believed that if a person is baptized on the feast of Epiphany, then he will be happy and the Mother of God will keep him.

1 leader:

Once again, Happy Holidays to you! Happiness to you, joy!

2 host:

Love, patience, peace!

Scenario of the Christmas holiday "Carols"

Characters:
Master
hostess
carolers

The scene has been removed imitating a village hut: decorated with towels, in the corner there is a table with a samovar, tea utensils, bagels, on the floor of the path.
In the hut, the owner and the hostess are making final preparations for receiving guests. They put food on the table. Suddenly outside the window noise, laughter. The owner and hostess look out the window.
Under the window"
carolers sing.
Carol, carol, open the gate.
The carol came on the eve of Christmas,
With donuts, with cakes, with pork legs
Kolyada, Kolyada, give me a pie!
Give, don't break, but give in whole.
Whoever gives a pie - that cattle, belly
Who does not give a pie - we are a cow by the horns!

As the cold outside freezes the nose,
He does not order to stand for a long time, he orders to serve soon.
Or a warm pie, or butter, cottage cheese,
Or money with a spear, or a ruble with silver.
Kolyada-molyada, rolled young!

The carolers take turns turning to the owners:
1st:
What do you give us, hostess,
Money bag or porridge pot?
2nd:
A jug of milk or a piece of cake?
3rd: (shouts out)
Not enough pie, give me a piece of lard!
4th:
You will give us - we will praise you,
And if you don’t give, we will reproach you.
Mistress:
We have nothing to give you, we don’t have any pies or lard. Go away!

carolers (shout out):
1st:
Well, you will not have luck in the new year! One was a cow and she was unwell.
2nd:
One was a rooster and he was busy.
3rd:
There was only one mare, and she forgot God.
4th:
Ovsen, ovsen, tell the truth to everyone!

The carolers sing:

Here is oatmeal, here is oatmeal!
And Ivan's wife was very greedy,
Her fur coat is not sewn up and her shirt is not washed,
Yes, and the husband is not hefty, lazy, clumsy.
Her father-in-law has a head like a beet,
And the mother-in-law is a pomelo,
She was pulled to the side.

Cinderellas - failures - are not weavers and are not spinners.
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!
Deverek is a picture, a chaff in my head.
Ovsen, ovsen, go to all.

The carolers are about to leave.
Master (swearing at the owner)
What are you. Today is a holiday. Everyone needs to be fed.
(referring to carolers)
Wait, wait, dear guests! Forgive my unlucky landlady!

Mistress (guilty)
Forgive me, dear guests!
For unkind, unfriendly words.
Carolers:
1st: The word is not an arrow, but worse than an arrow.
2nd: Don't be afraid of the knife, but the tongue.
3rd: Anyway. Whoever overcomes his anger, he is strong.

Mistress:
Here, keep pies, gingerbread, candy crackers.
And if you want - go into the house, get warm!

caroler:
No, thanks. We are not cold yet.
Well, guys, let's call the oat goodbye.

carolers (sing):
We found oats in Ivan's yard
Here is oatmeal, here is oatmeal!
Ivan has clear stars in his yard.
Here is oatmeal, here is oatmeal!
The stars are clear - his children.

Happiness to you, the owner with the hostess!

Sing and go

"Christmas" (scenario matinee for children of preparatory and senior groups) "

Children enter the hall to the music of "CHRISTMAS"

(Rebuilding. They stop in the center.)

The Feast of the Nativity of Christ is one of the most joyful and solemn holidays of the year. For Christmas, they decorate a Christmas tree - a fluffy beauty, on the top of which the Star of Bethlehem shines. The green Christmas tree, both in winter and in summer, is a symbol of eternal peace, happiness and joy that came into our world with Christ.

Two thousand and six years ago in the small town of Bethlehem slept a deep sleep. Belated travelers - Mary and Joseph could find refuge only in a cave where the shepherds drove their cattle during bad weather. And at midnight in a cave near Bethlehem, the Son of God was born.

Shepherds and magicians - Eastern wise men - came to bow to the Infant Christ and His Mother. The shepherds guarding the cattle, not far from the city, were told about the miraculous Birth by the Angels of God. The Magi came from afar. They have long been waiting for the birth of the Savior.

Nativity

Let's celebrate today

With songs, fun,

Christmas tree!

The Savior came to the people

Savior appeared to people

Turn to God!

There will be salvation for everyone!

In a manger I slept on fresh hay

Quiet tiny Christ.

The moon, emerging from the shadows,

I stroked the flax of his hair ...

The bull breathed in the face of the baby

And straw rustling,

On a flexible knee

I looked around for a little breath.

Sparrows, through the poles of the roof,

They rushed to the manger in a crowd.

And the bull, clinging to the niche,

The blanket was wrinkled with his lip.

The dog, sneaking up to the warm leg,

Licked him secretly.

Everyone was more comfortable with a cat

In a manger, warm the child sideways.

Subdued white goat

Breathed on his forehead

Just a stupid gray donkey

Helplessly pushed everyone:

"Look at the Child

Just a minute for me!”

And cried loudly

In pre-dawn silence...

And Christ, opening his eyes,

Suddenly parted the circle of animals.

And with a smile full of affection,

Whispered: "Look quickly!"

SONG "CHRISTMAS"

On this bright holiday

Christmas holiday

We will tell each other

Nice words.

Quietly the snow falls:

Outside the window winter

A miracle will happen here

And set hearts on fire.

May your smiles

On this wonderful day

Will be our happiness

And a gift to everyone.

The sounds of life flow

Happiness and goodness

Illuminating thoughts

Light of Christmas.

Above the den the star shines,

"Christ is Born!" - she proclaims.

Magi from the east came to the den.

And they found Christ in the manger of the poor.

The kings bowed their heads at the manger,

Expensive gifts were brought to Christ.

WORD TO BATYUSHKA.

And now we invite all guests to a tea party near the Christmas tree.

Scenario of the holiday "Christmas". Sunday School

The script was written by the teacher Sunday School at the Holy Transfiguration Church in the resort city of Gelendzhik.

1. Why did starfall suddenly spill from heaven to earth?

The house and the river shone, sparkled, even the garden?

Snowflakes suddenly swirled, like a star dance,

On the window, as in the picture, a wonderful tree grows ?!

A holiday is coming to our house, which is called Christmas!

A song is being performed"Ding ding dong..."

2. Joy has come to everyone, which has never happened,

A bright star shone above the den.

Angels fly, they notify everyone,

That Christ was born and the world lit up.

Troparion.

3. As light as snow fluff, Christmas winged spirit

Illuminates the skies, brings the holiday to the forests,

So that from heaven and earth the lights could meet,

So that another ray ignites between heaven and earth,

So that from the light of small candles a long beam, like a sharp sword,

He pierced the heart with light, showed the unfalse path.

4. Since that night in the sky, a combustible, golden star appears in the sky every year

And, igniting the heart with a sacred trembling, he calls to the born Christ the Savior.

5. On a quiet Christmas evening, a star shines in the sky.

My heart beats like that - a fairy tale has come to earth.

Frost on the window draws a pattern very thin, wonderful ...

The snowflake dances its waltz, circling under a bright star.

6. As always, we expect a miracle, a celebration from Christmas.

Fairy tale small now Merry Christmas we wish you!

Teremok.

Vedas: We will tell you a Christmas tale now.

You sit back, we begin our story.

In a winter dress, the dark forest is full of joyful miracles!

You and I will enter it, we will come to the clearing.

There is a teremok in the clearing, it is neither low nor high!

Forest animals live in it, the doors are not kept locked.

They are waiting for the feast of the saint, they create comfort in the house.

Soon, soon Christmas, and everywhere the celebration

Everyone cooks, cleans, cooks, cleans and launders.

The house should be clean, as it is everywhere.

Mouse: I'll bake pies, gingerbread, cookies.

There will be a miracle treat for all of us for Christmas.

Hedgehog: Well, I salted the mushrooms, dried the sweet apples.

Enough, mouse, you worries - cook compote for pies.

Hare: If there are carrots, cabbage, then the table is not empty!

Let's make carrot juice, and cabbage - into a pie.

Bear: And I will help too, here is the filling for the pie:

I bring berries and honey, I picked them in the forest.

Honey sweet, thick, like the sun, golden

I brought you a barrel, with it the frost is not terrible!

Wolf: And I caught fish, fished her all day!

There will be a holiday in the yard - there will be a fish on the table!

Let's break the fast together, eat pies together.

Lisa: Well, while I was talking, I was also not idle:

She embroidered the tablecloth with silk, washed the curtains.

I washed everything, cleaned it, I helped the mouse to bake.

Soon the holiday is in the yard, treats are on the table.

Mouse: And now, friends, we will meet a new star together.

As that star lights up, the holiday will come to us here.

Hare: Again, again we will praise the birthday of Christ!

How glad I am to congratulate you all! Come out here everyone!

All the animals go to the clearing in front of the tower.

Wolf: We will sing, play, laugh, treat ourselves to pies!

Bear: Jesus Christ was born and brought us salvation!

(There is crying.)

Animals (Hare): What is it? What's happened? Who is in trouble here?

Oh baby, is that you?

Fox: Why are you, Christmas tree, so sad? Why are you crying in the dark alone?

Wolf: Today is a holiday in the world and there is no need for tears! Our Lord Jesus Christ is born!

Hare: Everyone around laughs, sings joyfully, why are you, Christmas tree, crying bitterly here?

Christmas tree: How can I not cry, do not shed bitter tears, I want to be bright and smart:

So that the stars sparkle on my branches, so that the snowflakes sing in the blue rays.

Like all of you, I am waiting for a wonderful star, just what can I give to Christ?

I’m covered in needles, small in stature, and it’s not easy to notice me in the forest like that.

Am I worthy to celebrate Christmas? No, this celebration is not for thorns!

Hedgehog: Those are offensive words! Fir-tree, you are not right!

I am a forest prickly hedgehog, I look like all hedgehogs,

We are all friends with Christmas trees, green needles.

We'll find you, my friend. Both the fungus and the spine.

Birds, squirrels - seeds! We all really need you.

We, hedgehogs, love you, Christmas trees, and we will not forget to congratulate you.

Fox: Oh, look, the Angel of God from heaven flew down to us here!

And above him, the long-awaited star shines in the sky!

Angel: Hello my friends! I am very glad to see you

Here I am not in vain: I flew, hurried to the holiday

To the glorious city of Bethlehem, which is known to all people.

And when I flew over your forest in the dark sky,

The Lord pointed out to me someone's tears in the clearing.

How can I help you on this festive night?

Hare: All trees sleep in winter in a white snow coat.

Only the Christmas tree does not sleep, it cries bitterly and is sad,

Because it is unattractive, covered in thorns, not smart.

Angel: This is easy for us to fix, let's praise God together.

Come on, stars, fly, silver the Christmas tree!

May beauty reign here on the birthday of Christ!

(Music sounds. The Christmas tree leaves, throws off the veil, under it elegant dress, decorated

Sequins. Goes out to the animals.)

Christmas tree: Oh, thank you, Angel of God, you look like a star beam!

I can't recognize myself in this new starry dress.

Angel: I congratulate you, friends, I continue my path further,

I can’t waste time, but I’ll tell you: it’s not in a dress,

Beauty is not in the hair, kindness is the most beautiful of all!

Help each other both in the heat and in the evil blizzard.

This is what the Lord expects from us every day and every hour!

Animals (Hare): It became so warm in the heart! Bow from us to the Child,

Our God, Christ!

Angel: Okay! Already going! Merry Christmas! (flies away)

Bear: And now, friends, we will celebrate Christmas together,

We will only speak kind words to each other.

Wolf: Let's have fun together, spin around the Christmas tree!

Come out, forest people, let's stand together in a round dance.

Everyone starts a round dance around the Christmas tree, singing a song"Little Christmas tree".

7. Spreading the branches wide, in a snow coat, in the middle of the clearing, the tree went up with an arrow.

A moonbeam fell on the beauty of the forest, and the ice of crystals in the branches began to play with lights.

Diamond threads in the needles wove, emeralds and rubies lit up in the snow.

The eyes of the Christmas tree shine like a clear star: here it is - the great day - the Feast of Christmas!

8. We will decorate the Christmas tree with a bright star. We will braid the Christmas tree with golden thread.

How beautiful is the festive outfit on the Christmas tree: lights are burning on its needles!

And the heart is joyful, cheerful, light! Happy day today Christ's Christmas!

9. Christmas trees are beautiful outfit, the lights on it are burning,

After all, today is a celebration - a bright holiday - Christmas!

We will sing and have fun, spin around the Christmas tree,

After all, today is a celebration - a bright holiday - Christmas!

10. Snow is spinning like fluffs at my window

Let's have fun together! Christmas tree! Holiday! Christmas!

A song is being performed"On Holy Christmas".

11. Holy Christmas Day, we salute you!

How much joy all around! The holiday enters every home!

Both earth and heaven glorify the Lord Christ!

12. And how happy the kids are - both girls and boys:

At Christmas time they will sing carols!

Carols are being performed.

13. Children stood at the Christmas tree in a round dance. The Christmas holiday is with us all year long!

An angel flew across the sky with the news. "Rejoice, rejoice!" The angel called.

14. “People, rejoice all, Christ is born! Jesus brought salvation to the world!”

You need to be kind, live together in the world and pray for the Lord's forgiveness.

15. Let's sing a song to our Lord. We give glory to the Savior together.

Both earth and sky, sing to God, sing! Calm your heart with great joy!

Angelic powers are hidden by heaven. Embrace the earth, sing along with us!

16. An asterisk of Christmas happiness enters the house

Congratulations on the holiday - Merry Christmas!

A song is being performed"White snow, white-haired..."

17. The whole world celebrates Christmas. Adults and children sing joyfully:

"Salvation to the whole world, God was born in Bethlehem"!

18. Sing: “Christ is born! Praise! ”- the human race is saved by him.

And the heart lights up with unearthly love ...

A song is being performed"Hymn to Christmas".

19. On one of the joyous nights the Lord Jesus was born.

He is the One Who redeemed people, because without Him this world was lost in its darkness.

20. For all who believe in Christ, and at night the light shines,

And this night is holy for us, may the joy of all be pure, Jesus is here.

21. Let Him in and you into your house: He dwells in the heart,

He wants to make a garden in it, enrich the one who lets Him into the house with fruit.

22. Let our trembling candles be nothing in the radiance of God's stars.

But our festive Christmas speeches crown Lent.

23. And the heart rejoices at the miracle, in the soul - a holy triumph!

After all, for the sake of us, the common people, Christ's Christmas has come!

"Troparion"

Merry Christmas!

Christmas. Christmas scripts for adults. Games and fun for Christmas

It is not customary to celebrate big company After all, this is a family holiday. However, if you have a large Friendly family or your closest friends came to visit, then the simple scenario that we offer in this article will surely help you make Christmas not just a pleasant evening with your closest people, it will add charm and sincerity to this holiday.

In Rus', Christmas began to be celebrated after the introduction of Christianity - in the 10th century. It happened at a time when the ancient Slavs celebrated their multi-day holiday - Kolyada. This is where the tradition of caroling or praising came to us. And if in the cities this tradition has practically disappeared, then in the countryside they still carol to this day, because this is another reason to arrange a kind of masquerade, and you can earn money. Caroling, as a rule, is not on Christmas itself (this holiday has always been celebrated in the family circle), but on Svyatki.

Christmas time began on Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve (December 24, old style or January 6, new), and lasted two weeks until Epiphany (January 6 and January 19, respectively). The New Year (January 1 and 14) seemed to divide Christmas time into two halves. The time from the feast of the Nativity of Christ to the New Year was called "Holy Evenings" or Bright Christmas time, and from the New Year to Epiphany - "Terrible Evenings". Evenings were called “Holy” because Christmas was celebrated these days, and “Terrible” (Holy Week) because it was believed that evil spirits were walking around the world these days.

At Christmas itself, it is customary to play a short play on a biblical theme. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for the holiday in advance. If for some reason the plot of the Christian Christmas does not suit you, it does not matter. You can put on a performance in the winter or New Year theme. It is not necessary to prepare complex costumes for the performance, it is quite possible to get by with some old things, sheets, tablecloths, etc., which are enough in any home. Perhaps the performance will need musical accompaniment and simple scenery. This also needs to be taken care of in advance.

If the Christmas tree stood in your house before Christmas, then you can “update” its outfit with the children. Let it be homemade toys, paper lanterns and garlands, the main thing is that the feeling of a holiday lives in the house. Children can also be told a story about why the Christmas tree is decorated for the New Year and Christmas. The story is this: a long time ago, when God still lived on earth, and not in heaven, different trees came to him in turn, and he gave everyone fruits: an apple tree with apples, a plum tree with plums, a cherry with cherries. One spruce stood aside. And then God commanded for her modesty to decorate the fir tree every year with sweets, fruits, toys and garlands.

After the performance, everyone is invited to the table. Surprise cookies can be served with tea. Inside each cookie is a piece of paper with predictions. Papers must be wrapped in food foil. Predictions must be good, kind, for example:

If you don't shed tears,

There will be a whole load of money.

Your fate is not so simple

Career growth awaits you.

Oh, miracle, fate will prepare a surprise,

Pack your bags, you're going on a cruise.

Just a little more to wait

Soon joy will look into your house.

A sharp turn awaits you soon,

Great love awaits you this year.

After tea, you can play.

Games for Christmas

"Gifts of the Magi"

All those present take turns putting their hand into the bag, which contains all kinds of souvenirs and sweets, and try to guess what kind of object is in his hand; after that, the item is taken out of the bag. If the participant guessed correctly, then he takes this thing for himself.

"Smoking room".

Traditional Christmas game. Previously, the “smoking room” was a torch, now it has been replaced by a Bengal candle. The game is as follows: all participants become in a circle. One of the participants lights a Bengal fire and says aloud:

Smoking room, smoking room,

long legs,

The abdomen is short.

Do not die, you smoking-room,

Don't make me dance

Don't make me dance

Kiss the whole conversation.

After that, he passes the "smoking room" to the next player, who also repeats these words. The one who has the "smoking room" in his hands goes out loses. This person is performing a phantom.

It is best to end the holiday by watching some kind movie with the whole family.

For young people, more active entertainment can be offered - carols, which have already been mentioned above. In past years, the time from Christmas to Epiphany in village life was distinguished by a special spiritual upsurge and passed solemnly, festively and cheerfully. The people said: "Winter is for frosts, and the peasant is for the holidays." Christmas time was considered a youth holiday. Evening parties, gatherings gathered, games with mummers were noisy and fun. The youth at that time “joked”, and everything that “lay badly” became a “participant” in pampering.

Preparations for rounds began several days in advance. Costumes and masks were prepared in advance. The traditional characters of the mummers were a wolf, a goat, Baba Yaga. Usually the praisers went with a large home-made star made of paper, "a arshin in size, with various embellishments and lit by candles." She symbolized the star that rose over Bethlehem when Christ was born.

We propose to revive this glorious tradition, especially since it is not at all difficult to do so. Of course, if you go to each apartment without warning in a depleted crowd, then, most likely, they simply will not open the door for you. That's why better people to which you plan to come to carol, warn in advance. This can be done verbally, or you can simply hang an announcement at the entrance to the entrance.

Here are some texts of traditional carols:

carol, carol,

You give me a pie

Or a slice of bread

Or half the money

Or a chicken with a crest,

Cockerel with a comb,

Or a tuft of hay

Or pitchforks to the side!

Kolyada-kolyada

The other day of Christmas!

Who will serve the pie

That is the yard of the belly!

Who will not give a pie,

To that gray mare

Yes, the grave is torn off!

Kolyada-kolyada

Christmas Eve!

Good aunt,

The pie is sweet

Don't cut, don't break

Give it quickly!

two, three,

We've been standing for a long time

Let's not stand!

The stove is heating up

I want a pie!

You, the owner, do not torment

Donate quickly!

How is the current frost?

Does not tell you to stand for a long time,

Orders to submit soon:

Either from the oven pies,

Or money piglet,

Or cabbage soup!

Give you God

Full yard of bellies!

And in the stable of horses

In the calf's barn

To the hut guys

And in the litter of kittens!

Welcome the Magi

Meet the holy

Christmas has come

Let's start the celebration!

The star is with us

Prayer sings:

Good weather for Christmas - for a harvest year! Christmas brightened up, snow swept over, and the people tried hard, gathered for a walk! Evil spirits (performed by two people).
And the peddlers are pleased with the guests, now the auction will begin.
1st.
To whom is the gingerbread, to whom is the whip!
2nd.
Fly in, it has fallen in price - someone has a penny, someone has five, from whom you can take off your fur coat!
Leading.
Joke, but know the measure! Come on, give them a broom!

Someone from the choir drives the Unclean with a broom across the stage. They hide behind the pedlars, dodge, squeal, squeak, shout: “Oh-oh-oh! It is mine favorite place! And this is the most painful! I won’t, I won’t become an angel for me!”

Leading.
Peddlers are smart people! Than to trade and name the price, it is better to walk around the people and show the goods with your face!

Represents peddlers with their goods. The evil spirit peeps out of the crowd and mimics the Leader.

1st.
Sure sure! Spruce cone donuts!
2nd.
And… this… (points to a tray) sort of like with honey… (licks his lips, but does it out of spite) from Goznak waste! I'm kidding... I'm kidding! Let me mark the path with a broom, that is, mark it out.

Cheerful music sounds. The evil spirit is trying, sweeping the stage in front of the peddlers. Peddlers with goods go directly to the people, advertising their goods. You can pre-announce a competition for the best advertising.

Leading.
The frost is not great, but it does not order to stand! Yes, and a winter day - sparrow lope! Costumed-pomaded! Come help me! Dance with the people, show them what to do! The people are simple, don’t stand for nothing, jostle for warming, trample your feet! And whoever is worth it for nothing, that with a broom - fuck!

The host, along with the mummers, among whom is Aunt Arina, she later acts as the Host, shows the movements of the fun song on stage, and the audience in the hall repeats, then the fun song turns into a fun dance.

Leading.
Like Aunt Arina's full of children: With those eyes! Shows. Spectators repeat) With those eyebrows! With those noses! With those ears! With those lips! With those shoulders! With such hands! With those legs! With ta-a-kimi ... etc. (as far as the host's imagination is enough). They did not drink and did not eat, they did it at the same time - like this. Everyone looked at the aunt, they did it like this at once!

The mummers make a “swallow”, jump up and down, clap, stand on one leg, etc., until all the fun turns into a general dance.

Fidgets (performed by three people; shout out a call).
And whose house is this? And whose tower is this? Let me, let me, mistress, walk around the yard, but here the arbor is coming, singing, dancing! Unlock, unlock all chained ends! Dress, dress us, well done singers! At least for the money, for a penny, even for the dance of a young man, even for a bottle of wine!
Leading.
Come in, come in! Sing, say! And then we'll see what we get!

Fidgets perform 2-3 funny winter songs. The host surrounds them with gingerbread, bagels, brings a glass. During the previous fun “At Aunt Arina’s” and the performance of the Fidgets, the Unclean Force is eyeing the audience, inviting participants in the following contests, or using its “right of a broom”, that is, they can fry with a broom!

Leading.
Oh oh oh! Look, people! That's such a miracle!

A flirtatious Goat, a traditional Christmas character, appears on the scene. She can be with Goats - dressed up children who praise, shout out a Christmas carol, a glorious song.

Goat.
We are little kids! We came to glorify, to glorify the hostess! Lived on the path, baked rolls? Do you sell or serve? You give us honey to drink! We'll sing a song for you!

They dance to the music, jump around the stage.

Leading.
Come in, come in, eat and get to work. People are waiting for fortune-telling to begin!
Goat.
Here? Guessing? And tell the truth?
Leading.
Isn't fortune-telling real on Christmas? All true truth! Take this spoon and throw it into the basket, as the spoon falls, that fate will fall out. Throw and say: “Sieve, sieve, sieve - it really is said!”

The evil spirit in the spectators' ranks gives a spoon to one or the other who wants to try his fate. They throw a spoon into a basket or into a sieve, which Aunt Arina and Koza are holding on the stage.
The basket can be hung on ribbons, then the task becomes more difficult. The basket sways, and the spoon does not always hit the target. But you can also play along, specifically substituting a sieve for a spoon.

Host (comments on the game with the audience).
Look: the spoon has fallen upside down - you sit nonche at a rich table (or: you will be beaten with a batog).
- A spoon fell to me with a handle - a big payday awaits you (or a thrashing).
- Look, Goat, a spoon fell on the floor - this groom is a little cunning!
- And this one's spoon fell flat - oh, and a walker! Chasing two!

Only men take part in this fortune-telling, that is, according to Christmas beliefs, potential suitors are looked out for. At the time of the game, the Unclean Force invites the players to the stage to identify the most successful and dexterous.
As they walk onto the stage, an amateur ensemble performs a dance. After the applause of the audience, the Host reappears on the stage with the players.

Leading.
Like our fellows have expensive gates, a golden head, a golden mustache, a hair a ruble! If you win in fun - I will treat you to glory! If you don't win now - there are funs in reserve!

A game-competition "Zhoshka" is held with the applicants. Each of the players in turn throws a piece of fur with a lead plaque sewn on it with the inside of the foot.
The presenter, together with the audience, counts how many times each player will toss a "piss" and determines the winner. They treat him with a pie or hand him a bag of cookies made of figurines of animals - “goats”). It is desirable that there were seven people playing - a lucky number. After the winner is revealed, their girlfriends, brides, wives are invited to the remaining six people.

Leading.
Will we find out the truth about your betrothed? Let's guess?

13 logs are brought onto the stage. They can be stacked in a pile, a pile, a fire - whatever you like, so that the countdown can be started from either side.
Each log has its fortune-telling purpose: "Cunning, brave, daring, fighting, widower, bachelor, well done, smart, red-haired, shameless, walker, non-drinker, handsome." Aunt Arina invites the girls to name any number up to 13 and count, and then find a log in the hill according to the score.
Aunt Arina accompanies this action with sentences: “Count the balusters - guess the fate! Balusters will not lie - you can deceive anyone you like! Baluster-oryasina, and everyone knows who will guess it! etc.
The divination ends. Cheerful music sounds. Firewood is quickly removed to the side. And on the stage around the players, a cheerful round dance of mummers is dancing, including the Goat with the Goats. They dance along with those who have just guessed, spin around arm in arm, trample. Aunt Arina invites the audience to dance as well.

Leading.
And that's how I can sing praise songs! Nobody can do that! (sings).

Someone from those present can also sing praise songs or carols. If there are none, the Goats come into action - costumed guys and Fidgets, they vying with each other shout out their calls.

Goat with goats.
We are little kids
We came to glorify, to glorify people!
Freak out, wheat,
Peas, lentils,
On the field with shocks,
On the table with pies!
Glory, glory, hostess! (Bow).
Fidgets.
Good hosts give birth to thick rye,
A spikelet is good, a straw is empty!
Duck, God forbid, one and a half hundred more cows,
Ninety bulls!
Whoever serves a pie - that health!
(Repeat in turn one more time - who is louder).

Leading.
Well, well praise, loudly and loudly! And how do you sing? Do you dance?

Fidgets perform 2-3 funny songs, if you have your own dance group, then you can show your dance.

Leading.
Help yourself, do not be shy, deserve it, get it! (On the tray - cookies, gingerbread, bagels, and for the accordion player - a glass).

Presenter (to the audience).
You, go, envy take? And all this is served to carolers! Did everyone tell fortunes on Christmas? What, not everyone had time? Understand. Let's guess, let's guess! Here I take the belt, but I’ll slander him, and you repeat after me: “Belt, belt, show me the train for success, for luck, for wealth, or when to see my sweetheart!” Repeated? Remember? And now take a plaque and throw it through my belt at these figures, and we'll see what will fall out there!

Assistants - Unclean Force, Goat - descend to the audience, give the same “hoshki” plaques into the hands of those who wish, the audience, together with the Host, pronounce the words of the slander, then the player throws the plaque onto the stage, where the rug with numbers lies, and the Host reports that for the fate is behind this number.
At the same time, the Unclean Force is again recruiting candidates for the next game-competition. And you can spend them with the same ones who remained after the first games. After dancing on stage, they can be invited again, giving them a little rest.
A "well" of the same logs has already been arranged on the stage, you can add a few round logs. In the "well" are the keys or even a bunch of keys, but preferably large. Music sounds, playing in pairs dance around the "well". The music suddenly stops, and the girls and boys rush to the "well" for the keys.
But ... one of them in a hurry will certainly push the "log house". This girl, along with the guy, is out of the game for now, but they do not leave the stage. When only three or two girls remain, the Host performs.

Leading.
And now, my dears, you need to say a slander, and then take the keys. “Narrowed, mummers, smoothed, come to me, open the well!” And only after that take the keys from the "well". Is it clear?
The girls repeat everything that Aunt Arina tells them, then rush to the “well”, and one of them becomes the owner of the keys. She is given a Christmas souvenir, while the rest of the participants are treated to Christmas treats.
Cheerful, perky music sounds, and Gypsy walks straight from the audience, he leads the “Bear” on a rope. The evil spirit clears the way for them,
helps you get up on stage.
Leading.
And who complained to us? Father Bear himself, a Christmas guest! Himself came al who brought you by force? (The bear shakes its head in agreement, addressing the Gypsy). Do you know if you have a Medvedushka? Does he know everything, does he understand everything? And show us, clubfoot, how a drunken man walks?

The bear shows, tries to hug the women on the stage, tries to get off the stage, everyone runs from him.

Leading.
You are such a mischievous! And show us how babonki walk on water to the river?

The bear swings funny, as if depicting a woman, scoops up water, walks, imposingly wiggling his hips.

Leading.
You are a stalker, Mishenka! Will you dance with the owner of "Gypsy Girl"?

The bear caresses the Leader, as if begging for a treat.

Leading.
No, dance, and then help yourself! Yes, dance so that the people, looking at you, dance. Who will outweigh whom?

It sounds like a gypsy. There is a dance on the stage, then you can go down to the audience, the Unclean Force helps here, sweeps underfoot with brooms, as if clearing the area (it will be needed for the next action).
After the "Gypsy Girl" on the stage, the Fidgets sing "Kalinka-Malinka", and the dance continues again. All characters dance with the audience in a circle that they have formed. The evil spirit dances with those whom it caught, "sweeping" the area, hitting it with brooms.

Leading.
Well, Mishka, pleased, you see how the people had fun! (The bear waves its paws, growls, tries to portray something). I understand, I understand you, clubfoot! Are you still challenging? (Bear nods his head). Who will fight with you? Let people fight each other first, and then, you see, they will take courage! I have a couple out there, from the very beginning of our holiday they have been fighting for Christmas gifts, but so far they have not been lucky, they are still young, inexperienced. Already guessed, and slandered called out -
ah, no luck!

The bear drags the grips.

Leading.
Well done, Mishenka! On Christmas days, young people removed layers of snow with tongs or pitchforks from haystacks, and laid them on the threshold of the house. If you bring the layer safe and sound, everyone in the house will be healthy all year. And if you drink from this snowball, and even drink some gulls, you will be healthy for a century! It is necessary for you, my dears, to pick up these layers, to carry them intact on the tongs, well, at least to those buckets (buckets, cast-iron pots, tubs), yes
safe, safe. How can you bear them: whether together, whether holding, whether so, whether so - if only whole!

On the stage, cubes of strong crusted snow are prepared in advance, you can cut them out in advance, put them in carton boxes and put it on the edge of the stage for the duration of the game. Playing couples pick up layers of snow with tongs (and this is not easy) and carry them to a certain place. The main thing is to convey! Spectators cheer young, shout, make noise. The winner couple is determined! She is treated to a Christmas treat, as well as the others, but Aunt Arina still has some fun, and she suggests that the young guys linger for the main Christmas present.

Leading.
In the days of Christmas and Christmas weeks, young people were allowed to play pranks - not to hooligan, not to fight, but to joke without malice. There was even a ditty like this:
We're walking down the street
Let's do something
Then we'll roll out the woodpile,
That…

The audience shouts out their options, laughing.

Leading.
Oh, and mischievous people! Yes ... We'll disassemble the gate! So here they are - logs! You need to take one log at a time and take it out there! (Shows where the Bear stands, at 40-
50 meters from the stage). Who will carry away more firewood faster? But ... one log at a time. And the people do not allow to play pranks, they throw snowballs at them! Are you ready for snowballs? Let's run! The guys take one log of firewood from the stage and run to the agreed place. Spectators throw snowballs at them to impede movement. The one who brings more firewood in a few walks wins. The girls at the finish line neatly put the firewood into the "cage".
Leading.
That's because they are stubborn: no one succumbs to anyone! But we have one more challenge left! Does each of you have a reliable friend? Strong, strong! Eat? Come out to the circle, if a true friend!

One player sits on the shoulders of another. It would be nice to wear a big long shirt on them. It will be more effective. The upper riders clamp one of the ends of the gymnastic stick under the arm and, pressing it, try to throw the enemy off the “horse”. The lower players - "horses" hold the partner tightly by the legs and try to maintain balance. This is an old Russian fun for guys, men. But now there was a winner who stayed on the "horse"!

Leading.
Rode around the village -
Voronko does not run
A hundred times rolled -
Milka is having lunch.
What a darling not to ride -
black horse,
Harness all under silver,
personalized saber.

Of course, these ditties with a "trick". But the characters honorably lead the “horsemen” to the stage, where, under the general approval of the people, they (him) are awarded the Main Christmas Surprise Prize. All the participants of the Christmas fun rise up on the stage: Evil spirits, a Goat with Goats, a Gypsy with a Bear, dressed up from the people, who are also presented with gifts and treats, Fidgets. Everyone has sparklers in their hands, firecrackers, small fireworks (most importantly, safe) are prepared. Sing the last carol.

All participants.
I sow, we sow, we sow!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas, with a rich table,
The Lord would give you
And life, and life, and wealth!
A-a-a na-a-am slo-a-a-vtsam ...
(with speed)
Beer - cart!
Eggs - a basket!
Barrel - kvass!
Dish shaneg! Cap with oil!
Little kids for candy!
Merry Christmas.

Bengal fires are lit, firecrackers and fireworks explode. Everyone bows, cheerful music sounds, the participants descend from the stage to the audience under it and, dancing, leave.

Stroke: Sounds like a Christmas carol
Teacher: Hello dear guys. I greet you and our dear guests at the Orthodox holiday "Christmas".
Christmas is a holiday in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is celebrated on the night of 6 to 7 January.


Boy-God in a manger was born
Among donkeys, lambs.
And lit up with a star
Bethlehem courtyard and garden.

And the gray donkey thought,
Looking into the baby's eyes:
“He came with goodness and faith,
Compassion and kindness!”

A lazy puppy
Peeped from the kennel
How the magi came from the East,
They brought their gifts.

"Holiday Traditions"

Teacher: Since then, on January 6, as soon as the first star appears in the sky, Christmas Eve begins.


In the old days, the father brought hay into the house to lay it on the table (because they put little Jesus on the hay!) And put a pot of kutya in it - the most important dish on this holiday.
Children on Christmas Eve always carried kutya godparents, and they were looking forward to the little godchildren and treated them to all sorts of things.

"The Legend of the Christmas Tree"

Teacher: By tradition, the main festive attribute is the Christmas tree. The first toys were apples, nuts and various sweets. Later, the Christmas tree began to be decorated with shiny toys, light bulbs, candles. At the top, the Star of Bethlehem must certainly be located, indicating the birthplace of Jesus Christ (the children help the teacher set the star).
Teacher: Guys, on the eve of the holiday, we made figurines of heroes of biblical stories. I suggest you update the outfit of our Christmas tree.
The teacher, together with the children, decorates the Christmas tree with figurines of characters from biblical stories made of cardboard and paper.


At the same time, the teacher tells the children a fairy tale about a Christmas tree, the meaning of which lies in the fact that when Jesus created many trees, he began to decorate them. He decorated the apple tree with bulk apples, the plum - with blue cream, the mountain ash - with bulk red berries. . . The trees in turn approached Christ, and he decorated them, only one modest tree remained on the sidelines and was embarrassed to approach God. Then Jesus, seeing this tree, approached it himself and said that for her modesty, 2 times a year this tree would be decorated with the most beautiful toys, shiny balls and sparkling garlands. That is why twice a year - on New Year and Christmas, the Christmas tree becomes the most beautiful tree in the world.

"Christmas Nativity Scene"


Teacher: Nativity scenes are an integral part of the celebration of the Nativity of Christ. The Christmas nativity scene is a kind of puppet theater, which was shown by our ancestors on Christmas. With the help of home-made dolls, fixed on sticks, Christmas performances were played. The plots of the nativity scenes were connected with the birth of Christ.

"We went caroling"


Teacher: Another interesting custom is caroling. On Christmas night, young people walked around the yards, sang carols, wishing the owners good, health and prosperity. And they certainly gave them sweets and ringing coins.
Preparations for rounds began several days in advance. Costumes and masks were prepared in advance. The traditional characters of the mummers were a wolf, a goat, Baba Yaga. Usually the praisers walked with a large homemade star made of paper, it symbolized the star that rose over Bethlehem when Christ was born.


Teacher: I invite you guys to support this glorious tradition, especially since it is not difficult to do this at all. Of course, if you go to each apartment without warning in a depleted crowd, then, most likely, they simply will not open the door for you. Therefore, it is better to warn the people to whom you plan to come to carol in advance. This can be done verbally, or you can simply hang an announcement at the entrance to the entrance.
Now the guys will present us some traditional carols.
The phonogram of a Russian folk melody sounds.
Children come out dressed up in traditional characters: a wolf, a goat, hares, bears, Baba Yaga, a goat and others, as well as in costumes with elements of Russian folk costume(color scarf or kokoshniks, sundress, etc.), in the hands of a large home-made star made of paper, a box and traditional caroling begins.
All together in chorus:
We will carol
And glorify Christ.
Open the chests
Get the patches.

1st child:
From heaven an angel descended to us,
And said, "Christ is born"
All together in chorus:
We came to glorify Christ
Happy holiday to you all.

2nd child (addresses the leader):
carols, carols, carols,
I'm alone with my father
short jacket,
Give, hostess, a pie!

3rd child:

Give us some candy
Maybe a coin
Don't regret anything
On Christmas Eve!

4th child:
I am a little boy
He brought a sheaf to Christ.
Congratulations on the holiday
I wish you health.

5th child (addressing guests):
Come on, aunty,
You, swan, come on!
You give me a pie
With a mitten wide
You do not lose the stuffing -
Give me the whole pie!

6th child:
A little boy
Sat down on a glass
Crack glass,
Come on rupee.

7th child:
carol, carol,
You give me a pie
Or a slice of bread
Or half the money.

8th child:
carol, carol,
You give me a pie
Or a chicken with a crest,
Cockerel with comb.

9th child:
Shchedryk-Petryk,
Give me a dumpling
a spoonful of porridge,
Sausage ring.

10th child:
It's not enough
Give me a piece of fat.
Take it out soon
Don't freeze the kids!
All their diligence is encouraged by sweets, coins and small souvenirs.

Game "Frozen"

Adults also take part in the game to make the game even more fun. The essence of this game is as follows: body parts are written on small pieces of paper: forehead, nose, ear, hand, etc. All the pieces of paper are folded into a bag. The participants in the game take turns taking out the pieces of paper and "freezing" to each other with the parts of the body indicated on the piece of paper. it turns out to be a very fun thread.

"Christmas divination"


Teacher: And one more traditional Christmas entertainment is fortune-telling. Guessing, as a rule, young unmarried girls. The most surprising thing is that, according to church laws, fortune-telling is a great sin, but fortune-telling is allowed on Svyatki. In general, fortune telling is a dangerous game, there is always a risk of meeting with evil spirit. During the time of Christmas time, the risk is much less: “Christ was born, and all the evil spirits tucked their tail, spins to no avail, cannot hurt ...”.
Teacher: And there is also a belief that wishes made on Christmas night come true. Just remember that wishes must be good, then they will come true.
Teacher: Christmas is a holiday of gifts. In memory of the gifts of the Magi to the newborn Jesus, people give each other gifts at Christmas.

Game "Gifts of the Magi"

All those present take turns putting their hand into the bag, which contains all kinds of souvenirs and sweets, and try to guess what kind of object is in his hand; after that, the item is taken out of the bag. If the participant guessed correctly, then he takes this thing for himself.
Teacher:"Gifts of the Magi" is an old game, and Christmas gifts are waiting for us under the Christmas tree, packed in several layers wrapping paper(takes one of them).

This script in verse contains many fun games, riddles, Christmas carols. You can easily adapt it or add something of your own. And believe me, this holiday will appeal to both children and adults. Merry Christmas 2018 to you!

2nd Leader:

And here is the "royal gate"!
Who will pass through them -
Gain magical power.
Close your eyes
Step over the threshold.
Through the threshold how to step,
Everything will come true at once:
Red girls will become even more beautiful,
Good fellows will show us the prowess.

Children go to the hall or room where the holiday is held.

1st Leader:

People! Ordered up to you
Bring the decree at this hour,
prepared by myself
Our Mother Winter.
Every year of this day,
As the sign says,
People of the city, village
Go out for a holiday!

Let our holiday begin with snowfall.
Well, we'll keep a close eye on you,
We will give the first place to the worthy,

1st Leader:

well we played
And, of course, not tired.
But now we'll sit
And we'll be quiet for a bit.
The candles are lit.
The Christmas story begins.

(2nd Presenter goes around the reading tables and lights candles.)

Not high and not low
Maybe next to the door
The fairy tale goes somewhere close
The fairy tale goes somewhere close
Don't scare her away.
Shh! The fairy tale begins!

And the fairy tale begins far, far away, it is not visible from here, in the ancient country of Judea. And it was so long ago that no one remembers. That's just from the holy book, which is called the Bible, you can learn. And here's what it says...

According to the scenario of the Christmas holiday for younger schoolchildren, the narration of the Leaders can be illustrated with appropriate scenery and pantomime, which will be prepared by children from amateur circles.

2nd Leader: In the city of Nazareth there lived a girl named Mary. In the same city lived a pious man named Joseph. They were engaged to each other. Once, when Mary was alone at home, the angel Gabriel appeared before her. Mary was frightened when she saw the angel, but he said: “Do not be afraid, Mary, the Lord has chosen you from other women. You will give birth to a child, he will be the son of the Lord, and his name is Jesus Christ.

Jesus was to be born in the city of Bethlehem, as one of the prophets predicted. But Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth, which was very far from Bethlehem. And then one day a Roman soldier came to Nazareth and informed the inhabitants of the city of the decree of the Roman emperor. “Each of you must return to the city where he used to live with his parents. Roman soldiers will count everyone and write down how many people live in each city. Such is the decree of the Roman emperor Augustus,” the warrior read.

Joseph heard the words of the Roman and, returning home, began to gather with Mary on their way to the distant city of Bethlehem, where they had once lived. The way to Bethlehem was difficult and long. But such was the decree of Emperor Augustus and God wanted it that way - Jesus was to be born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem was very crowded: people from all over the country came to the city for the census.

They all went to the inn to find a place to sleep there. Therefore, when Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem, there were no more empty places in the inn. Not to spend the night under open sky, they had to go to a cave where a cattle shed was set up. The whole cave was covered with straw, and in the middle stood a manger from which the animals ate. Night fell, all the inhabitants of Bethlehem fell asleep.

1st Leader:

Great Christmas Eve...
Darkening the colors of the sky...
Everything is quiet ... The proximity of the celebration
Involuntarily feels nature.
On this night, a son was born to the Virgin Mary
Jesus, which means "savior of the world."

A great miracle happened that night
God sent us a Savior!
In a forgotten cave, in an abandoned manger
The baby, the Son of God, was lying.

Mary wrapped her son in a warm blanket and placed him in the cattle feeder. Now it was his cradle.

2nd Leader:

How cold it was that night
When He was born.
The whole world was in darkness and cold,
Like in water, immersed.

Let the blizzard circle all night
And falls asleep.
But in a manger, as if in a cradle,
Lays the Baby to the Mother.

For the first time air on earth
He sighed with all his chest,
For the first time an ember in the ashes
Glittered in His eyes.
And everything was quiet so that He -
Lord of the High Forces -
Here on earth my first dream
Tasted as a child.

1st Leader: When little Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a particularly beautiful, large and bright star rose in the sky.

That was in the old days:
Night reigned over the sleeping world,
And a shining star
She rose over Bethlehem.

She shone so strongly and brightly on the Earth that all people involuntarily paid attention to her. Behind this special star came the wise men from the East, or, as they were then called, the magi. By the stars, the Magi guessed the life of people, their future. When they saw a new star, they guessed that the son of God was born on earth, whom people have long been waiting for and whom they call the Savior.

The Magi wanted to bow to him. They gathered in a large caravan and set off. On the way, they all the time followed the wonderful star that showed them the way. When the star stopped, the Magi saw Mary, and in her arms was the baby Jesus.

The magi bowed down to the earth to the born Lord, presented him with rich gifts: gold, frankincense and fragrant myrrh, fragrant resin of plants. The Magi brought him these gifts as a sign that He is the King of earth and heaven, and they named the baby Christ, which means "King." Jesus Christ was an extraordinary king. He had no crown, no palaces, no throne, no troops. And he only had the Word. But this word is God's, this Word is covenantal. And it teaches all people on earth to live with love, not to be at enmity, to have pure hearts and good intentions.

(Music.)

2nd Leader:

Love to keep as a shrine
Christ commanded us
With her, like living water in the desert,
He brought the truth to the people.
And we should give thanks
God for the birth of Jesus.

We all do bad things, and Jesus came to earth to forgive us for them.

If you love Him
He will forgive you your sins.
There are many fairy tales in the world,
I'm not going to list everything
But our fairy tale
The path ends here...

1st Leader: And it breaks off because we told you only a small part of the holy book of the Bible about the birth of Jesus Christ.

(Candles go out, lights come on.)

The birth of Jesus Christ is so important that many nations on earth are counting years from this moment. It's 2018 now. So how many years have passed since the birth of Jesus Christ?

The birthday of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, is considered the greatest holiday on earth. In Russia it is celebrated on January 7th. Tell me, guys, what holiday is it customary to celebrate with a Christmas tree?

(listens for answers.)

Did you know that not only the New Year is celebrated with a Christmas tree, but also Christmas? Here, listen to why the Christmas tree was chosen as the main decoration of this holiday. As you remember, Jesus Christ was not born in a palace, not in a house. And where? (In a cave.)

2nd Leader:

Three trees - palm tree, olive tree and fir tree
At the entrance to the cave grew;
And in the first days in proud delight
They brought a bow to the baby.
A beautiful palm tree dawned on him
With your green crown
And from the delicate branches of the silver olive
Dripped fragrant oil.

Only a modest Christmas tree stood sadly:
She had no gifts
And the eyes of people were not captivated by beauty
Her permanent cover.
I saw the angel of the Lord
And the tree said with love:
“You are modest, you do not grumble in sorrow,
For this, a reward from God is destined for you,
He said - and the stars from the sky
They rolled down the tree one by one,
And everything shone, and a palm tree with an olive
Overshadowed by its beauty.
Baby from bright starlight
I woke up and looked at the tree
And his face suddenly lit up with a smile,
And he stretched out his hands to her.
And since then every year we remember
And devoutly honor Christmas:
Whether a child, an adult - everyone is happy for the holiday,
And in every family a celebration.
Where there are children - there is a tree, richer, poorer,
But all in golden lights.
And how much fun, and how much delight
In gentle children's hearts.

1st Leader: In Russia, the first Christmas trees were lit in honor of the bright holiday of Christmas. The day before Christmas is called Christmas Eve. Orthodox people on this day they don’t eat anything until the evening: they wait for the first star to light up in the sky, the same one that led the Magi to the baby Jesus, and only then the feast begins for the whole Orthodox world. And it continues for 12 Sacred days, from January 7 to January 19, until the Baptism of Christ. These days are called Holy Days...

Happy Christmas days have come,
And bright lights lit up on the trees.
In our ass, too, the tree is lit,
She makes us happy with her outfit.
We are happy to have a Christmas meeting with a Christmas tree.

Now let's all sing for her the song "It's cold in the winter for a little Christmas tree." But we will sing not as you sang for the New Year, but as it has long been sung in Rus' at Christmas.

Children (sing in a round dance).

The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
We took a Christmas tree home from the forest. (2 p.)
How many colored balls are on the Christmas tree
Pink gingerbread, gold cones. (2 p.)
Beads hung, bright balls,
Sweets, gifts - everything for the kids. (2 p.)
The Christmas tree likes our celebration.
Merry, merry us at Christmas. (2 p.)

2nd Leader:

There is another game for you:
We'll start the verses now
We start and you finish
Chorus, answer together.

Softly glowing needles
The coniferous spirit is coming ... (from the Christmas tree).
And the toys swing
Flags, stars ... (crackers).
Fish fragile figurines,
Birds, girls ... (Snow Maidens).
Well, the tree, just a miracle!
How elegant, how ... (beautiful)!
The branches gently rustle
The beads are bright ... (shine).
Threads of colorful tinsel,
Bells ... (balls),
White-bearded and red-nosed
Under the branches ... (Santa Claus).
Candles are lit on her,
Hundreds of tiny ... (lights).
Doors wide open, just like in a fairy tale,
Everyone is greeted with triumph
Bright holiday, wonderful holiday,
Congratulations… (Merry Christmas)!

1st Leader:

Aida well done! We didn't think you were so good at writing poetry. Are you able to answer questions? Then let's play the game "What does not happen on the Christmas tree?" Answer yes or no.

A loud buzzer? (Yes.)
Beautiful toy? (Yes.)
Soft pillow? (No.)
Cheerful Parsley? (No.)
Hot cheesecake? (No.)
White snowflakes? (Yes.)
Bright pictures? (Yes.)
Ripped boots? (No.)
Goldfish? (Yes.)
Are the balls turned? (Yes.)
Soaked apples? (No.)

Well done boys! There are no pillows, no cheesecakes, no torn shoes on our Christmas tree, but there is a surprise.

Let's eat him.
Oh what a box!
Colored border!
What's there, I wonder
Is it in it?
We dream-guess
We are with you quietly
Becomes us
Everything is tastier and tastier.

(Children are seated.)

We timidly removed the box from the Christmas tree.
There is a note in the box: "I ate the weight, Lariska."

2nd Leader: Ah, rascal! And the guys and I were counting on a gift. But don't be upset best gift for Christmas is a funny joke and a good wish. In Rus', there has long been such a custom: children went from house to house with songs and congratulated everyone - both acquaintances and strangers. And the owners in response to good wishes gave the children gifts. This custom was called caroling. The carolers dressed up in a variety of costumes: an old man, an old woman, a gypsy woman, a Baba Yaga, kikimoras, a goat, a horse, a bear, etc. Today carolers also wanted to come to our holiday. Some of them are already on their way, and those who cannot come have sent telegrams.

Though it's not an easy job,
Get out of the swamp.
I am heavy and huge...
Send a crane.
Let's celebrate the New Year together
Merry Christmas to you! (Hippopotamus).

My stomach is empty
All eaten cabbage.
Send a stalk from the tree.
Your friend, gray (hare).

I would be from the Christmas tree top
I would take off toys with a trunk.
I'm offended, surprised
Not invited to visit. (Elephant).

I'm lying in my bed.
Cold, cold in the yard,
I froze my paw.
Send me a coat, a hat.
Address: coniferous forests.
Silver-brown ... (fox).

I don't really know the tree
Is this a tree for a wolf?
What kind of tree, you say?
Describe everything in detail.
Address simply: Neil.
Merry Christmas to you! (Crocodile).

Well done boys! The carolers, probably, lingered in the neighboring house. They wish the owners happiness, a big harvest, health. What songs do carolers sing? That's right, Christmas carols. Carolers (singing outside the door).

Kolyada came on the eve of Christmas.
We walked, we were looking for holy Kolyada,
We found Kolyada in your yard.

As the frost freezes on the street,
He does not order to stand for a long time, he orders to serve soon.

(They knock on the door.)

Open up, masters!

Presenter: So the carolers came to us. According to custom, they should be greeted with refreshments and generously bestowed. There is such a sign: the better the treat, the more prosperous the year will be in the family. Do not knock, we open, we invite you all to visit! Come in, do me a favor!

The carolers enter - Petrushka, Gypsy, Old Man, Old Woman. Carolers (singing):

Kolyada came on the eve of Christmas!
Hostess, dear mother,
Don't be lazy, get up!
You give me a pie -
A whole yard of the belly
Don't serve a pie -
One chicken leg.

Presenter:

Taste the pie - the sides are reddened.
But the fat - took a sip and was gone.

Carolers (sing).

Good evening to whoever is in this house,
- Old, young and holy God!
To be healthy, so that we are not forgotten:
Old, young and holy God.

In return for a treat, we will show you a performance!

Parsley:

I have a cap, I have a tambourine
Top-top heels, we will dance!
Let's sing, dance,
Submission to submit!
I am a fun toy
And my name is ... (Petrushka)!

We haven't seen each other for a long time, I suppose you've been waiting for me?

Gypsy:

How to say to you…
Not so much.
But since you're here, say hello.
Do you see the audience?

Parsley:

I don't see any donut.

Gypsy:

Yes, not a donut, say hello to the audience!

Parsley:

Ah, well, I would have said that.
Do you want to fight with me?

Gypsy:

How are you not ashamed to be rude!
I invited you to the guys for carols ...

Parsley:

What did I say?
Hello dear viewers!
Do you want to compete with me?

Gypsy:

But I heard something else...
Forgive me ... And what is there to compete in?

Parsley:

Well, for example, who will scream the loudest.
Or who opens his mouth wider.

Gypsy:

You know, Petrushka, I'll tell you in advance: we don't need such competitions.

Parsley: Yes, I was joking! Let's arrange a worldwide attraction - an extraordinary auction!

Gypsy: What will we sell at the auction?

Parsley: Not to sell, but to ask. I will ask riddles, and the guys will guess them.

Winter fun hours
I hang on a bright spruce.
I shoot like a cannon.
My name is ... (cracker),

Like light fluff
White curls ... (snowflakes).

Grabbed by the cheeks
nose tip,
Painted the window without asking.
But who is this - That's the question?
All this makes ... (frost).

On New Year's Eve he came to the house,
He was a cheerful fat man.
But every day he lost weight
And in the end, he completely disappeared. (Calendar).

As the hostess entered the house,
Gathered all the kids.
Good and sharp
Shines in the hall ... (tree).

Two birch horses
They carry me through the snow.
These red horses
And their name is ... (skiing).

Our silver dagger
Stayed at home for a short time
We wanted to raise it
And he ran to the threshold. (Icicle.)

I have guys
Two silver horses
I go to both at the same time.
What kind of horses do I have? (Skates.)

Parsley: We have talked a lot, and now the songs have begun.

Old man: Guys, let's learn a carol song with you. Here, listen.

Carol, carol! Open the gate!
They didn’t tell them to stand for a long time, they told them to serve soon.
Who does not give a pie, I'm a cow for a horn
I'll take you to Torzhok and sell it for a pie.

Old woman:

We sang, danced and guessed riddles, and now it's time to say goodbye.

Gypsy: Thanks ladies, thanks guys! Your pies are good, and your hearts are kind and friendly. But we will not remain in debt.

Parsley: Accept this brownie figurine from us as a gift. He is tiny, affectionate, does not ask for food, but brings happiness to the house.

Old man: Let him take root in your house, protect your family from the evil eye of the evil, envious. So that everything that you have planned comes true, so that your hospitable house is famous throughout the district.

Presenter: Thank you for your good wishes! Come next year.

Carolers (leave with a carol).

I sow, I sow,
Merry Christmas to all.
For the New Year, for the new happiness
Ugly wheat, peas, lentils,
On the field - shocks, on the table - pies.

Presenter: Have we had funny carolers, guys? Do you remember the song they taught you? With this carol, you can now go door to door to friends and strangers, sing and ask for treats during Christmas time, which last, if you remember, from January 7th to 19th. What else do people do at Christmas time? They guess, guess about love, about the harvest. They guess beautifully. Here is how the poet Zhukovsky writes about this in the poem "Svetlana":

Once a Epiphany Eve
The girls guessed:
Shoe behind the gate
Taking it off their feet, they threw it;
Weed the snow; under the window
Listened; fed
Counted chicken grains;
Burning wax was drowned;
In a bowl of clean water
They put a golden ring,
Earrings are emerald;
Merry, Merry us at Christmas
Spread out white boards
And they sang in tune over the bowl
The songs are submissive.

Do you want us to teach you two types of divination? For example, if a person hiccups, what does this mean? (Someone remembers.) To find out who exactly remembers, they make one of their acquaintances, moisten the little finger of their right hand with saliva and draw it along their right eyebrow: if there is a hair on the finger, then the one who was thought of remembers.

And here is another Christmas divination. Let's all guess together. (A fortune-telling game is being played with a scarf.) You need to make a wish, blindfold and crawl under a scarf that is stretched over the floor. If you do not touch the scarf, the wish will come true, We told fortunes, we caroled, we learned a little about the Nativity of Christ.

And now, guys, pay attention to our exhibition "The Holy Holiday of Christmas". It will be in the reading room until January 19, until the next holiday - Epiphany. Anyone who wants to learn more about the life of Jesus Christ, about how Christmas was celebrated in Rus', what games were played these days, can come to the reading room and take books from the exhibition.

The great holiday has already come again,
Everywhere fun, feasts, celebration ...
Let's remember what word he told us
The one we are celebrating Christmas now:
"Let everyone always be merciful
To the weak, the orphans, the poor, the sick.
What he has, he will share with the poor
And call him his brother."
So show me, friends, participation:
Many will meet in need of Christmas.
A good deed is a great happiness,
This is a sacred celebration!
Christmas is a beautiful, bright holiday.
And what is a holiday without gifts?
Let's see if we can
Lariska didn't steal everything? (Handing out gifts.)

Christmas once a year
Here it goes now
Well it ends again
We will be waiting for Christmas.
Merry Christmas to everyone,
We wish you happiness from the bottom of our hearts!

The scenario of the Christmas holiday for younger schoolchildren was prepared by the staff of the Central Children's Library in Bor, Nizhny Novgorod Region.

Solka:
We have prepared for the meeting of the Angel, it remains only to call him. And who knows how to call an angel? (children offer)
Klukovka:
Merry song!
Let's sing all together: Let's imagine how the animals would sing the song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest"
Solka:
The bear was fast asleep in the den,
His legs were numb.
He woke up, roared
Singing in a loud voice...
Children, imitating a bear, rudely and dully sing the first verse of the song “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest”.
Klukovka:
A mouse came out of a mink
In your gray pants
squeaked, whistled,
She sang very softly...
The children sing the second verse high and thin. (The blizzard sang a song to her)
Solka:
Here is a fish in the aquarium
Sings to everyone with a smile -
Very quiet, barely audible.
Well, we will sing inaudibly ...
The children whisper the next verse. (Cowardly bunny grey)
Klukovka:
Here is a horse very dexterously
It beats loudly with its horseshoe.
Jumped, danced
Very merrily neighing...
The children sing the next verse abruptly. (The horse is carrying a firewood..)
Solka:
All bears, fish, bears,
All girls and boys
Immediately supported the song
Shouting very loudly...
The children sing the last verse loudly and cheerfully. (Now she's dressed up...)
Klukovka:
In the whole world a celebration -
Christmas has come!
You live, live
Achieve good fame!
And meet the Angel with fireworks!

Solka:
Red! Blue! Yellow!…

An angel enters to the music.

Angel.
A lot of guys have gathered here.
It took me a long time to get to you
From a country far away
On the road, on the wide
Through the snowy fields
I'm in a hurry, guys, to you.
Happy New Year
I wish you happiness, joy
All smiles and kindness
Christmas Eve!

Klukovka:
Good Angel, while we were waiting for you, we played a little with the guys. Did you like our fireworks?

Angel:
Well done rogues,
Lights shine in the eyes.
To make the year go well
Let's remember the winter fun!
(says and shows movements and asks children to repeat)
Quietly falling snowflakes (Children quietly clap their hands)
Santa Claus freezes ice (clap loudly)
There was a big snowdrift.
In it - jump-yes-jump! (Jump)
Prepared the skates
We were able to make a "swallow" ... (show)
Now let's get on the skis.
We can race to Paris. (Move to the tree and back)
Let's keep having fun
Need to ride down the hill. (Stand up like a train and run)
Who's got cold feet?
Break them up a bit! (Jumping in place)

Solka:
It is immediately clear that the children
In the morning they do exercises.
I know, study for glory,
Take care of dad, mom.
You are always obedient in everything,
Cheerful and kind.
That's right, I say guys
Have I ever made a mistake?

Angel.
And now I want to know how good and handsome you are. I will say a sentence, those on my right will shout in chorus "We are good", and those on the left "We are handsome."
One side shouts "We are Good", the other answers "We are Pretty"
Kingisepp kids
Never ruin books... (Guys scream)
They do not sit idle.
They will boldly tell us about themselves ... (Guys scream)
Friends are not forgotten
And help them in trouble... (Guys scream)
Brush your teeth thoroughly
And diligent in everything ... (Guys scream)
Don't draw on the fence
Do not break desks at school ... (Guys scream)
Not lazy, not boring,
Washing up the dishes... (Guys scream)
It's nice to look at diaries.
So what are you guys? (Guys scream)

Klukovka:
Here comes the New Year
Noisy and cheerful
He will bring good luck
In cities and villages.

Solka:
Christmas star light
Gives a holiday again
Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts
Merry Christmas!
Guys, how many of you know what folk customs are associated with Christmas?
(if no one in the hall found what to answer, we call customs)
In the old days, they used to carol at Christmas - mummers went home, sang carols, asked for treats. It was a whole show. Usually the mummers depicted animals. Here you have a bear, and a goat, and a wolf, and even a devil.

Angel:
caroling, caroling
I will go to any hut.
I'll ask the hostess
Sweets, come on.
And cookies and sweets
And with nuts sherbet,
And halva, and chocolate,
Pastila and marmalade,
delicious cake,
Sweet ice cream.
We will feed each other
And remember the owners with a kind word!

The sparrow is flying
twirls its tail,
And you people know
Cover the tables
Receive guests
Meet Christmas!

carol, carol,
You give me a pie
Or a slice of bread
Or half the money
Take it out quickly
Don't freeze the kids.
Don't give me cheesecakes -
You'll get it on top!
Don't give me a pie -
I'll take the cow by the horns.

Klukovka:
And on Christmas night they played snowballs, rode a sleigh down a hill, sang funny songs and danced.

Angel:
Well then, let's do my favorite dance, shall we?

Solka:
Well guys, let's respect our Angel, let's dance his favorite dance? What is his favorite dance? This is a fun Macarena dance! Let's all become (and adults) in a round dance. Dance movements, let me remind you for those who forgot:
"One" - stretch your right hand forward.
"Two" - stretch your left hand forward.
"Three" - the right hand on the left shoulder.
"Four" - left hand on the right shoulder.
"Five" - ​​right hand behind the head.
"Six" - left hand behind the head.
"Seven" - the right hand on the right thigh.
"Eight" - left hand on the left thigh. And wagged their priests.

Dance.

Klukovka:
And now we complicate the task. We split into pairs, turn our backs to each other and dance again.

Solka:
And I know one good old game. It's called the Golden Gate. Let's play with the guys!

Angel:
Come on, come on, tell me
How to play, show me!

Solka:
In the Golden Gate game, two players stand opposite each other and, holding hands, raise their hands up. Get "gates". The rest of the children stand one after another and put their hands on the shoulders of the person walking in front, or simply hold hands. The resulting chain should pass under the gate.
"Gate" pronounce:
Together:
Golden Gate
They don't always miss!
Saying goodbye for the first time
The second time is forbidden
And for the third time
We won't miss you!
After these words, the “gates” abruptly lower their hands, and those children who were caught also become “gates”. Gradually, the number of "gates" increases, and the chain decreases. The game ends when all the children become "gates".
(playing "Golden Gate")
Angel:
Klyukovka, Solka, who do you think is smarter - girls or boys?

Solka: Of course, boys!

Angel:
And I think both.

Klukovka:
And let's arrange a competition for their ingenuity - we will hold a contest of riddles.

Angel.
I was slapped with a shovel
They made me humpbacked
I was beaten, beaten!
Doused with ice water
And then they all rolled down
From my hump in a herd.
(Slide)

Solka:
I have guys
Two silver horses
I go to both at the same time.
What kind of horses do I have?
(Skates)

Klukovka:
Run along the path
Boards and legs.
(Skis)

Solka:
Downhill - I'm flying
Uphill - dragging.
(Sled)

Angel:
What a ridiculous person
Sneaked into the twenty-first century?
Carrot - nose, in hand - a broom,
Afraid of the sun and heat.
(Snowman)

Klukovka:
The snowflakes just fell
I ran along the path
And they run after me
My entire itinerary is given out. (Footprints in the snow)

Solka:
white carrot
It has been growing all winter.
The sun warmed
I ate all the carrots. (Icicle).

Angel:
I am such a fashionista that everyone is surprised!
I love beads, sequins - any jewelry.
But on my, believe me, great misfortune
I only get dressed once a year.
(Christmas tree)

Solka:
The wind blew and frost
Snow brought us from the north.
Just since then
On my glass... (pattern)

Klukovka:
Here's my New Year's resolution.
The dance is one merry one,
It's for those who go to school
And for those who go to the garden
Yes, and an adult is happy to dance.
That dance is called
Dance of little ducks.

(dance to the music "Dance of the Little Ducklings")

Angel.
Had a lot of fun!
And now I want to know
Who can play ball?

Solka:
We divide into two teams. The first players in each line hold the ball in their hands. At the command "Attention, march!" players begin to pass the ball over their heads (under their feet) from the beginning to the end of the line. The players closing the formation, having received the ball, run and become the first in their lines, after which the players again begin to pass the ball from one to the other to the end of the formation. When the player who started the game (ball race) is the last one, having received the ball, he must run forward along his line, become the first in it and raise the ball over his head.
The team that manages to complete the ball race the fastest wins.

Klukovka:
And the losing team will have bunnies and dance us a squat dance.

They play, the losers dance the lady.

Angel.
We sang, we danced
Why aren't you guys tired?
Well then I suggest
We will play "Pleten" now!

Klukovka:
Wattle. The game is played by two teams. Children stand in lines opposite each other and learn to weave wattle. To do this, they cross their arms in front of themselves and connect the right hand with the left hand of the neighbor on the left, and the left hand with the right hand of the neighbor on the right. Both ranks, lowering their hands, go towards each other with the words:

One, two. three four,
Must follow orders.
No, of course, in the whole world
Friendship is better than ours!

The ranks converge in the center and bow to each other.
Then fast music sounds, and all the children begin to dance. As soon as the music stops, all participants must return to their places in their lines. The line that forms first wins.

Solka.
Don't rush to leave
Let's keep having fun.
It's called fun
“Before we go to the right…”
Let's stand together in a round dance,
Repeat after me people!

Everyone gets up in a round dance and repeats the movements after the words.
Together:
Before we go to the right. One two Three!
And then let's go left. One two Three!
Let's all gather in a circle. One two Three!
And then we'll leave. One two Three!
Let's all sit down quietly. One two Three!
And let's hang out a little. One two Three!
Let's all clap our hands. One two Three!
Dance our feet. One two Three!

(Any cheerful music sounds here and everyone dances.)

Angel.
Well done, you know a lot of fairy tales! And now, in order for us to move on to the next game, we will have to cross an impenetrable fairy swamp. You need to jump from bump to bump. Newspapers are laid out on the floor - these are bumps. Jumped on one bump, loudly say the word SNOW. Jumped on another - loudly name the word derived from the word SNOW. For example, a snowflake. I didn’t come up with a word - I lost, get out of the swamp. You do not participate in the next game.
(a game of "Bumps". Words SNOW, ICE, WATER, FIRE)- the floor is slippery!

Clown Solka:
Those guys who got over the swamp, we will play with you "Tpyntsy-bryntsy, bells." This participant is blindfolded. We stand around him. We pronounce:
Tryntsy-bryntsy, bells.
The daredevils called:
Digi digi digi dong
Guess where the call is coming from!
After these words, the "blind man's blind man" must guess by the sound of the bell and catch the participant with the bell dodging from him. When a participant with a bell is caught, he becomes a blind man, and the previous blind man turns into a regular player.

When the snows cover the ground
And Christmas will come again
Raise a glass for happiness
For peace, for friendship, for love!
And so that without grief and doubt
May you have many bright days!
Save comfort, family peace
And the respect of friends!

Deeper blue in the sky
The star is shining brighter...
Kolyada came
On the eve of Christmas.
Through the snowdrifts
Walked, laughing and having fun,
And to friends and strangers
Knocking under the windows.
And behind the old Kolyada
The carolers have come
They stood up in a noisy crowd,
The song was loudly led:
“Kolyada was born
Before Christmas…”
A bright star shines
Deeper blue in the sky...

Night. Freezing. The stars are sparkling
From above heaven.
All covered in snow, as in ermines,
A quiet forest slumbers.
Silence around. glade
Sleeping in the arms of sleep
Emerges from the forest
Watch the moon.
The stars are fading. Are pouring from the sky
pale rays,
Frosty snow sparkled
Brocade silver.
Branches spread wide
In a snow coat
Tree in the middle of the meadow
Up went an arrow.
To the beauty of the forest
The moonlight has fallen
And the lights of ice crystals
Played in the branches.
Diamond threads
Weaving in the needles
Emeralds and rubies
They lit up in the snow.
A clear star at the Christmas tree
Head lights up...
A great day is coming
Christmas holiday!

Snowflakes in a white waltz descend from heaven,
And the sleepy forest covered itself with a blanket of snow.
Today, magic flows from everywhere,
And it always happens at Christmas.
The earth is shrouded in a mysterious fairy tale,
Rivers and fields sleep under a snow blanket.
Today you quietly make a wish,
Keep it under your heart and repeat it often.
After all, on this wonderful evening of crisp beauty
All the most cherished dreams come true!!!

CH.

Quickly, quickly, by wagons! Let's go, tu-tu!
CH.
Stop! The train has arrived at the terminal station!

Clown Solka:
Do you guys know about such an old Russian game “The goat was walking the road”?
Let's play. I will sing you a song:
The goat walked along the road,
wide road,
Found a hornless goat
Hornless goat.
Come on, goat, let's jump,
Let's jump, let's jump
Sadness-sadness opens,
We release sadness.
One player comes out. Jumping along to the song. On the words “I found a hornless goat,” he chooses a mate for himself. Under the song, one player runs skipping. Hand in hand, the two of them are already hopping along to the words of the song: “Let's jump with you ..., open the sadness.” They sing again, the couple disperses and each chooses another player for himself. There are already two couples running to the song. The children part again and each of them invites new guys for a steamy “walk”. The number of couples playing grows and gradually all those present are involved in the game.

Winter holidays are the most joyful, they are loved by everyone - from kids to the elderly. One of the most important days for the Orthodox is Christmas. On this day, matinees and performances are held literally in all educational institutions. Here is one of the scenarios for the Christmas holiday for children.

Participants and entourage

The script involves quite a lot of preparation. Adults do most of the work, but children also have a few important roles to play.

Characters

  • The leader is an adult. He takes the floor when the rest of the participants are not speaking.
  • Three shepherds. It could be students.
  • Angel is a child.
  • Grandma Anthony. She is the mistress of the house.
  • Grandson.
  • Granddaughter.
  • Grandfather (adult) with a goat (it is quite possible to dress one of the kids in the appropriate costume).
  • Kikimora and Leshy are adults, perhaps educators or parents.

The roles played by parents or educators can be quite arranged so that one person has time to change clothes and play the next character. Otherwise it will take too many people.

Entourage and decoration of the hall

In one corner of the hall there is a Christmas tree, next to a table with chairs. This is a mountain. The hostess sits in it with her grandchildren, talking and drinking tea. The tree is completely undecorated. The box with them is not far away. The hall is decorated with garlands, stars and lanterns, there are burning candles on the table. Chairs for kids and parents (they are also invited to the holiday) are placed a little in the distance. Be sure to leave free space, as the script assumes active games, contests and dances. They are included in the program to involve all children. All the time when the hostess and guests talk different stories about the holiday itself and the traditions associated with it, soft music appropriate to the situation should play.

Step one - getting to know each other

Everything is ready in the hall, but the guests do not see it yet. They enter only together with the leader. First of all, the host welcomes the owners of the house, introduces them and the guests to each other. Grandmother says that she is always glad to have guests, especially on such a beautiful evening. After all, she was just about to tell her grandchildren about what a wonderful holiday awaits them. Therefore, if there are more children, it is even better and more interesting. Then the guests examine the decoration of the hall and sit down on the prepared chairs. Grandmother: Hello, my dear guests! It is very good that you came today. After all, this evening is very unusual. All of you probably know that tomorrow great holiday. But today is also very important time. This evening is called Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve. And the holiday itself has such an interesting name, because it was on this day that the Savior Jesus was born. By the way, now we are keeping a calendar that starts from this time. They say - the year is such and such from the Nativity of Christ. And this happened significant event in 5508 from the creation of the world. The first to hear about what happened were three shepherds who were doing their work in the pastures near the city of Bethlehem. A real angel appeared to them to bring this message to people.

Dramatization "Shepherds"

Lights are dimmed in the hall. In the free space are three shepherds sitting on logs around the fire. A fire can be depicted using colored paper from which flames are cut out. The leader behind the scenes voices the events taking place. The music changes to a solemn one and an angel enters. A beam of light is directed at him, so it becomes clear that he is wearing white clothes. He asks the shepherds not to be afraid, because he is just a messenger of God who brought great news. He tells that today the Savior of all mankind has come into the world. Grandmother: The shepherds immediately believed the messenger and, leaving all their affairs, went to the city to bow and pay the first honors to the baby Jesus. At this time, the light becomes brighter, and the actors leave to change. Grandmother: By the way, who knows why an angel came to the shepherds with such great news? After all, this is completely simple people who had no ranks, no titles, no power. Granddaughter: They must have been very kind and good, had pure hearts. Grandson: And they really, sincerely believed in God. Grandmother A: That's right, guys. Now listen to what I will tell you about how Christmas used to be celebrated, and one very interesting story.

The legend of the Christmas tree and the collective decoration of the festive tree

The hostess takes the floor. She tells the story of the tree. After that, the children will learn how they used to decorate this tree.

Grandmother: Near the entrance to the cave where the holy family took refuge, three trees grew - an olive, a fir and a palm. They saw a wonderful light in the cave, and this is the conversation they had. The palm tree said that she was the most slender, and she would bring her best leaf as a gift to the baby to shelter him from the sun on hot days. The olive tree said that its leaves are very fragrant, and she wants to fill the whole cave with fragrance. And the spruce was upset because she had nothing but sharp needles and sticky resin. The olive tree and the palm tree said she shouldn't go and left on their own. Spruce, left alone, began to lament that she was a worthless tree, she only had to give way to more worthy ones. At this time, there was an angel nearby, who thanked the Christmas tree for its modesty and poured many bright stars on the branches. The baby, having been born, did not even notice palm trees and olive trees, but waved his hand at the Christmas tree and smiled. This was the beginning of a tradition that we love very much - decorating a Christmas tree. After that, the grandmother tells that it used to be customary to dress up not with such toys as now, but with sweets. Once upon a time, children received sweets far from every day. That's why they were even tastier, taken from the Christmas tree. Painted fruits and vegetables were also used. The tree was decorated by the whole family on the last day before the holiday. Then a box with toys is taken out and all the children with adults are engaged in decorating the tree. Songs and melodies related to the holiday sound.

Part two - guests

Tradition says that these days people should go to visit with gifts. So it was in all good houses.

grandfather with goat

There is a loud knock on the door. The owner says the door is open. Grandfather enters with a goat. He has a wicker basket in his hands. Grandfather: Hello, good people! Happiness and joy to you good holiday! It's good that someone else remembers the wonderful tradition of visiting each other at Christmas. So, I heard that it’s so fun with you, and I also decided to wrap it up in the light. And he brought his farm. I have a good goat, cheerful. Come on, kids, dance with her. Here the goat begins a mobile dance. Babies follow her movements. After the song, she runs away from the hall. Grandfather: Here, fidget! She ran away. It's time for me too. I'll just give you presents. He hands over the basket and leaves. Grandmother begins to distribute gifts to children. These are various wooden products - spoons, balls, special sticks.

Games

Grandmother offers several games with items that were in the basket.

  1. Zakidushka. Here you need to throw a small wooden ball into the cup from a certain distance.
  2. Kaleina-malechina. It is necessary to keep the wooden stick on the elbow, knee, wrist, finger or any other part of the body as long as possible.
  3. Winder. One child from two teams participate. Everyone has a stick and a rope. On command, they should tightly, but very quickly, wind this rope around a stick.

Kikimora and Leshy

After the children get acquainted with the old games, the grandmother offers to dance around the Christmas tree. Everyone joins hands and dances with songs.

Suddenly, loud, perky music starts to sound and two more characters enter the hall - Kikimora with Leshy. Leading: We have guests again! But who is it? Goblin: Here we are forest! I am Leshy. kikimora: Yes, hello everyone. And I'm Kikimora. What didn't you know? We want fun too! Leading: But Christmas is not your holiday at all. Goblin: So you got it, but you're not happy? kikimora: Remember what comes after Christmas, that will be your answer. Grandmother: Of course, we are glad. We welcome all guests. Indeed, children, Christmas time follows this wonderful holiday. And at that time in Rus' it was very noisy and fun - fortune-telling, carols, all kinds of fun. Goblin: Granny is right. Well, were you expecting some fun? kikimora: Shall we play?

Outdoor games

Zamiralochka

Everyone is invited to dance to cheerful music. From time to time the host says "Freeze, left hand!" or "Freeze, right foot!" and so on. After these words, you can move only those parts of the body that have not yet frozen. You can even use your eyes and mouth.

Passing the ball

We need two teams. Children line up in two rows one after another. On command, they begin to pass the ball. The first passes it to the one standing behind his head and so on until the end. When the ball is received last, it is between the legs of the player in front of him, passes it forward. The team that does it first wins.

Christmas quiz

Questions should be simple. For example, about the seasons, the twelve months, Christmas, the educational process, and the like.

Artists

Two teams that have already taken their places (you can move the chairs a little) are given a large sheet of paper each. Dots are pre-marked on each. Of these, after connecting in a certain order, a drawing should be obtained, somehow connected with the holiday. The task of the players is to figure out what was intended to depict and connect the dots correctly. Adults can also participate and help a little.

Final part

Grandmother: Well, dear guests, have you played enough - did you run? Everyone is great today. Then I ask for the Christmas table. A meal awaits you. After all, fasting ends with the appearance of the first star in the sky. After that, it was possible to cook pancakes, pies and other goodies! Leading: Co bright holiday you Merry Christmas! In every house of grace and goodness. The final stage is a treat. Drinks, gingerbread, sweets and pies are distributed to everyone. There may be several scenario options for children at Christmas - we suggest you watch a video from another beautiful fairy tale, performed by pupils kindergarten: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK9AjhfxV7k
