Ранний возраст можно правомерно назвать “золотыми воротами знаний”. Высокая степень развития фонематического слуха позволяет ребенку до 9 лет быть специалистом в освоении речи. Практика показывает, что уже в конце первого года обучения дети 5-6 лет хорошо воспроизводят в парах диалоги, читают стихи и даже разыгрывают сказку. В дальнейшем дети поступили в школу, где преподаватели отмечали особые успехи детей, посещавших группу иностранного языка в школе “Развитие”. Увлекательные занятия были продолжены, и к концу первого полугодия второго года обучения ребята научились писать и читать односложные слова, считать до ста, рассказывать о себе и своих любимых героях английских мультфильмов. В конце декабря в школе “Развитие” (для детей от 4-6 лет) мы провели праздник “Рождества”. Перед праздником мы познакомились с историей, разучили песни, стихи, подготовили костюмы. Дети второго и третьего года обучения помогали разыграть сюжет. Яркое и красочное оформление праздника: необычные наглядные пособия для конкурсов, картина рождения Христа, красавица-елочка, бенгальские огни во время исполнения рождественских песен, - все это позволило пережить немало радостных минут детям и их родителям.
Teacher: Good evening! I’m very glad to see you in this beautiful hall! It’s lovely day, isn’t it? Everything is white in. There is good fall of snow. The weather is wonderful. Everything is white.
Child 1:
SNOW
The snowflakes are falling
By one’s and by two’s,
There is snow on my coat
And snow on my shoes.
There is snow on the planets
And snow on the trees,
And snowflakes all round me
Like many white bees.
Teacher: The hoar-frost sparkles on the branches. And only Christmas tree is green and delight. Why? What is the day today?
Children: Because today is Christmas.
Teacher: You are right. Christmas is festival that celebrates the birth of Jesus. It’s the most popular festival of the year in Great Britain and is widely celebrated all over the country. On Christmas Day the bells ring. Their ringing sends forth messages of peas and love.
Child 2:
AT CHRISTMASTIME
By E. ChamberlinRing out, oh bells, at Christmastime,
Proclaim the hour has come
For love and botherhood for all,
The goal of Christendom.
Ring out, oh bells, across each land,
Across each sea of blue,
Until your message girds the earth
And echoes back to you.
Ring out, oh bells, and make each heart
Turn from the world’s caprice,
And bow before the feet of Christ,
The Master Prince of Peace.
Teacher: They ring so merrily wishing everybody: “Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! May our hearts overflow with joy. ” But look! Somebody’s coming here.
Tony:
Are you in? Come out!
Look about! Look about!
It’s a magic day.
Let’s go this way.
To the wood, away from the house.
In the wood we can see Santa Claus.
I’m not afraid of frost.
I’m not afraid of getting lost.
Bony:
To the winter wood I go.
There is a lot of snow.
There is so much snow everywhere.
I need my skis to go there.

Little mouse plays snowballs.
Mice:
Snow falls! Snow falls!
I like to play snowballs!

Cat:
All the fans shout.
The frog and the hear skate about!
Bear:
The frog attacks the hear!
Cat:
Who is shouting, the bear?
Crow:
The fans clap the hands!
And the game ends!
Cat:
What is the score?
Bear:
Zero to one (0-1)!
All animals: But we have had a lot of fun!(Sing a song “Oh, hockey-cockey-cockey.”)
Put your right hand in,
Take your right hand out
Put your right hand in
And shake it all about.
Do the hockey-cockey
And turn around.
That’s what it’s all about.
Oh, hockey-cockey-cockey,
Oh, hockey-cockey-cockey,
Oh, hockey-cockey-cockey
That’s what it’s all about.
Put your left hand (right foot, left foot, right ear, left ear, nose) in…
Crow:
Santa Claus is here!
Look he is near!
Santa Claus:
Hello!
In my sledge I go.
I see you like to ski and skate.
I don’t think I’m late.
I see you are having a lot of fun.
I have a present for everyone.
Mice:
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus!
Santa Claus:
The same to you!
Cat:
Please, can you make our wishes come true?
Bear:
And I would like to ride with you!
Children, how about you?
All animals: Me too, me too, me too! (Ride with Santa Claus.)
Santa Claus:
From the North to the South I ride.
In a big snow I hide.
Roofs and chimneys, candlelight.
I ride beneath the stars so bright.
In the East and the West
Christmas day is the best.
Teacher: Good evening Santa Claus! We are very glad to see you. You might be tired, have a rest. And children will show you, what they can do best!
Child 3:
WHEN DOES SANTA COMES?
By J.P. JhomsonHe comes in the night!
He comes in the night!
He softly and silently comes,
On pillows of white,
Are dreaming of bugles and drums.
He goes through the snow
Like the ship through the foam,
While little white snowflakes swirl.
Who tells him? No one knows!
But he finds the bedside.
Of each good boy and girl.
He comes in the night!
He comes in the night!
He softly and silently comes,
On pillows of white,
Are dreaming of bugles and drums.
Children: sing a song “Let us merrily Dance and Play” (Приложение 1).
Let us merrily Dance and Play:
Santa Claus is on his way.
Refrain: Sing we, sing we, loud and clear,
Christmas Eve will soon be here,
Christmas Eve will soon be here.

He will come while I’m asleep,
Dreaming in my slumbers deep.

Child 4:
A CHILD HAS COME FROM HEAVEN
By G.Br. BurketA child has come from heaven
To bring the waiting earth
New Hope and joy and meaning
By His incarnate birth.
A child has come from heaven
As love made manifest,
That hearts which will receive Him
May be forever blest.
A child has come from heaven
To teach each eager mind
Man’s vast potentiality
To love and serve mankind.
A child has come from heaven
To lead where He has trod
The path of truth and righteousness
That keeps man close to God.
Santa Claus: Thank you for beautiful poi. Jesus was the son of God who came into the world to save people. And there was a bright star shining over the stable in Bethlehi, where Jesus was born. (Рис.2)
Child 5:
CHRISTMAS CANDLE
By B. Moore Shine, Christmas candle,Glimmer and glow,
Sending your light
Through the soft-falling snow.
Shine, Christmas candle,
Riinding the earth
Of a long-ago stars
And a long-ago birth.
Shine in riibrance
Of the night that He came,
Writing a faith
Warm and bright as your flame.
Santa Claus: This star announced the birth of a very special child. The three wise
men from the East gave Him the gifts. There was a great joy, and the angels announced
about the birth of the son of God.
(Switch off the light. Everybody light the candles and sing).
SILENT NIGHT (Приложение1).
(When the light is switched on again, the sack with gifts for children is stolen.)
Teacher: Dear Santa Claus, I suppose, that children can get their gifs.
Santa Clause: Of course, they can. What do you want to get?
Child 6:
DEAR SANTA CLAUS
By A. CarrDear Santa Claus, do you suppose
That you could send to me,
Two trains with tracks this Christmas Eve
If I’m as good as I can be?
You see, dear Mr. Santa Claus,
My daddy likes to play
With all my things, but most of all
He likes the track to lay.
Dear Santa Claus, if you can send
Two trains, why don’t you see,
My dad can play with his own train,
And leave my train to me!
Santa Claus: So you wish a train, just a minute, where is my sack..?
Teacher: And where is Silver? May be he has stolen our gifts?
Santa Claus: I know who can help us! One, two, three, little Gipsy help to me!
Gipsy enters the hall and sings…:
Show me you hand
I can tell you your future
Whatever will be, will be.
I can tell you your future
Please, show me your hand
I can tell you what lines I see.
You will travel a lot.
You’ll have a lot of friends.
You’ll holidays in May.
You will win a big prize.
You will act in a film.
You’ll be a princess one-day.
Teacher: Little Gipsy, help us to find our gifts.
Gipsy: This is a magic map, and your imagination is the key.
(Here you may use any competitions according your magic map and children’s knowledge,
sing Christmas songs. At the end they sing “Oh, Christmas tree!” (Приложение1) and find their gifts there.)
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,
Your branches green delight us.
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,
Your branches green delight us.
They’re green when summer days are bright.
They’re green when winter snow is white.
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,
Your branches green delight us.
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,
Your dress will teach me something.
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,
Your dress will teach me something.
The hopes and the constancy

Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,
Your dress will teach me something.
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,

Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,

How oft at Christmastime the sight
Of green fir tree gives us delight
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree,

(Santa Claus finds the gifts under the tree and gives thi to the children, wishes thi merry Christmas and ride away. Children sing “Jingle Bells”)
Das hing through the snow,
In one-hose open slegh,
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Jingle Bells, jingle bells, and jingle all the way!
Oh! What fin is to ride in one-horse open sleigh!
Jingle Bells, jingle bells, and jingle all the way!
Oh! What fin is to ride in one-horse open sleigh!
(Farewell)
