Pupil 1:
Thanksgiving comes but once a year,
But when it comes it brings a cheer.
For in my storehouse on this day
Are piles of good things hid away.
Pupil 2:
Each day I’ve worked from early morn
Till now I’ve plenty and to spare
Without a worry or a care.
So light of heart the whole day long
I’ll sing a glad thanksgiving song.
звучит песня на английском языке “Thanksgiving to all”.
Chorus:
Happy Thanksgiving,
Happy Thanksgiving,
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
It’s time to show what we’re thankful for,
Our mothers, our fathers, our friends and much more.
The toys that we have
The things we hold dear to our hearts,
They ‘re part of this wonderful world,
The wonderful world that we share.
Let’s show that we care.
Chorus:
Happy Thanksgiving,
Happy Thanksgiving,
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
A teacher: Today we are going to learn some interesting facts about Thanksgiving traditions in the USA, we’ll play games, work in groups and just enjoy being together. Let’s start our party. We’ll begin it with the origin of this holiday.
(на сцене появляются два мальчика и две девочки, первая пара одета в костюмы первых поселенцев, вторая пара одета в костюмы индейцев).
A boy: This custom began with the Pilgrims in 1621. The Pilgrims were the religious people who didn’t worship the Church of England. They decided to leave the country in search of religious freedom. King James 1gave them a charter to settle in Virginia where a British colony had been founded in 1621 .On September 16, 1620a small ship called ‘’Mayflower’ ’carrying 102 passengers left an English port Plymouth . <рисунок 1>
A girl: On November 11, 1621the’’Mayflower’’reached North America. But storms took the ship off the course and it took Pilgrims a month to find a suitable place to settle. The colonists had a very hard winter of sickness and starvation. By the end of the winter half of them were dead. But with the help of native Indians the others could survive. They were Indians who taught them to hunt, to fish and to plant corn. <рисунок 2>
A boy: After successful harvest in 1621 Governer William Bradley decided to hold a feast and invited Indians chiefs. They brought wild turkey to be roasted and popcorn to share. The original Thanksgiving Day lasted three whole days.
A girl: The first US President George Washington suggested that there should be a special day. In 1864 at the end of the tragic Civil War, Abraham Lincoln established the last Thursday in November as a day for all Americans to give thanks.
Pupil1:
For the hey and the corn and the wheat that is reaped,
For the labor well done and barns that are heaped,
For the sun and the due and the sweet honeycomb,
For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
звучит песня “For health and strength”.
For health and strength and daily food
We praise thy name, O Lord!
A boy: On Thanksgiving Day stores, schools and homes are decorated with various Thanksgiving symbols, including pictures of Pilgrims, Indians, turkeys, the horn of plenty and dry flowers are often used as table.
A teacher: Let us see a short but interesting play about a turkey. <рисунок 4>
Ученики показывают инсценировку о традиции “помилования” индейки президентом США.
A FAT TURKEY NAMED SLIM
A boy: Hello! My name is Neil. I’ve got a grandfather who lives on his farm. I like to visit his farm because there a lot of animals on his farm, but I’m particularly fond of this big fat old turkey named Slim .I can’t understand why. One day I decided to talk to my Grandpa about this strange thing Grandpa! <рисунок 5> Look at this turkey. It is so big, fat and nice. But why is it called Slim?
Grandpa: Take a seat, Neil! I am going to tell you a story. As you know long, long ago, at the time of Pilgrims the turkey was wild. They were different from domesticated turkey known today. Wild turkey is usually cunning and speedy. They can fly 80 kilometers per hour, they can run 40 kilometers per hour. It is very difficult to hunt them because they hide in the bushes.
A boy: O’K, but why is our big, fat turkey called Slim?
Grandpa Well, every year a turkey is brought to the White House for the President and his family can have the best turkey dinner in the country. One year right before Thanksgiving I got a telephone call. It was from the White House, the residence of the USA President.
(голоc за кадром): Hello! I would like to talk to Mr. Thompson, please.
Grandpa: It’s me.
(голос за кадром): Glad to hear you Mr. Thompson! Will you be so kind and to send the best turkey you ‘ve got to Washington, to the White House, I hear your turkeys are the best in the country.
Grandpa: With great pleasure, Madam!
A boy: What madam was it?
Grandpa: it was the first Lady, the President’s wife, so I sent a turkey to Washington, although we didn’t have any really big turkey left .And on Thanksgiving while we were watching TV there came the news.
The president: Ladies and gentlemen! This turkey is not meaty enough for us, so we will not eat it I am going to give an amnesty to it. Let it be free!
Grandpa: from that year it became a kind of tradition and the President would set free one turkey in the name of Thanksgiving.
A boy: but why is our big fat old turkey named Slim?
Grandpa: So, you see, if the president of the USA says that your turkey is slim, even it is big and fat. Then you should probably call it ‘’Slim’’.
A teacher: Now, boys and girls, let’s play some games. Choose the color you like best of all. O’K, we have three groups now. Your task will be to design a picture of a turkey. But first of all you should draw it. Do it in such way: let your hand flat on a sheet of paper. Then with a pencil trace an outline of a hand going around individual fingers. After removing the hand, look at it. The thumb becomes a turkey head, four other fingers are its feathers. You should color it brightly, draw a beak, feet, eyes and give your turkey a name, then try to think over a short story about your turkey you have only 10 minutes.
ученики делятся на три группы, выбирая карточку жёлтого, зелёного или красного цвета. Им даётся задание нарисовать индейку.

Ученики должны красочно раскрасить её и придумать короткий рассказ о ней. На выполнение задания отводится 10 минут.
