Ход урока:

Presenter 1: Hello, children, teachers and guests of our school. We are glad to see you in this light and cosy hall. Today we have come here to celebrate … Who knows what holiday we celebrate today? Today is the day of all lovers. This day people who love each other exchange presents, postcards in the form of hearts and make a declaration of love to each other.

Some people just know right from the start
How to bring love to another’s heart
Some people just know how to love and to give
And they do such nice things every day that they live.

Presenter 2:

Кто-то узнает с самого первого взгляда
Человека, которого хотел бы иметь рядом.
Кто-то захочет его любовью одарить,
Для которой и стоит на свете жить.

If you are in love this is your day! Remember that you are the happiest people in the world.

Presenter 1: We have selected 15 pairs who will compete for the right to name them “Mr. and Mrs. Valentine”. But only one pair will win. Now let’s introduce our panel of judges to you.

As for the audience, be fans of the pairs. They need your support. Applause!

We begin!

Presenter 2: We invite to the stage the first three pairs. The first competition is called “Dance, dance, dance”. One of the ways to express your feelings and emotions is to dance with your lover. So your task is the following: you will hear 3 different melodies one by one. Your task is to dance with your partner on these newspapers, but you must not get off the newspapers. With every following melody the newspaper will be reduced. You should show your feelings and emotions in every melody. Are you ready? Start! Now let’s ask our judges to choose the best pair. This pair reaches the final, other pairs get prizes.

Presenter 1: We invite the next pairs to the stage. Meet them and greet them. The next competition is to make the legend about St Valentine and to tell it to us.

a) A priest named Valentine disobeyed the Emperor. He secretly married many young couples. When the Emperor found out, he had Valentine imprisoned. Valentine was beheaded for his disobedience on February 14. Since Valentine had helped lovers, the day he died became a day for people to express love for others.

b) St Valentine was a Christian priest who lived in 270 years after Christ was born. At that time, the Roman government controlled much of the world.

c) The Roman government needed many soldiers to protect its lands. The Emperor Claudius 2 decided that married men did not make good soldiers because they wanted to stay at home with their wives and children. He made a very strange law that said young men were not allowed to marry. He also said that any priest who married a young couple would be put to death.
