The Seasons
(III класс)
Подготовка
Этот вечер рекомендуется провести в конце второй четверти (перед Новым годом). Учащиеся, которые получили роли месяцев, могут сделать себе костюмы из марли или креповой бумаги. У весенних и летних месяцев костюмы зеленого цвета, а на головах венки из искусственных цветов. У Сентября костюм зеленый, но на нем несколько аппликаций яблок и груш, нарисованных на бумаге. У Октября — на желтом фоне костюма несколько коричневых и красных листьев. Ноябрь — в коричневом или сером костюме. Дети, исполняющие роли зимних месяцев, одеты в белые костюмы, отделанные висящими на ниточках шариками из ваты. У Ветра на шляпе и плаще узкие полоски серой бумаги. Дед Мороз одет в белый халат и красную шапочку. Борода его сделана из ваты. За плечами у него мешок с подарками. На груди Нового Года большой календарь. В руках — колокольчик, в который он звонит.
За две-три недели до вечера из класса выбираются «оформители». Задача их — сделать искусственные цветы и листья для украшения зала и костюмов, написать названия всех месяцев на отдельных листках бумаги, нарисовать большой календарь для Нового Года.
За две недели до вечера даются следующие задания всем учащимся: повторить устную тему "Seasons", написать сочинение и нарисовать картины на эту тему, придумать мимические сценки для разгадывания их другой командой.

Песня повторяется два раза.

When Woods Are Green
When woods are green and groves are fair,
And leaves are large and long,
It''s good to wander through the woods
And hear the small bird''s song.
It''s good to wander through the woods
And hear the small bird''s song.

Compere: There are twelve months throughout the year,
From January to December —
The finest month of all the twelve
Is the merry month September.
September: Autumn is the season
When apples are sweet.
It is the season
When school-friends meet;
When, noisy and gay,
And browned by the sun,
With their books and bags,
To school they run.
October: "Come little leaves," said the wind one day,
"Come over the meadows with me and play,
Put on your dresses of red and gold,
For summer is gone and the days are cold."
November: Dancing and whirling the little leaves went;
Winter called them, and they were content,
Soon, fast asleep in their earthy beds,
The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.
Compere: Is autumn a rainy season?
Children: Yes, it often is.
Выходят мальчик и девочка.
Boy: What a rainy season!
The sky is dark and grey;
No sunshine any more;
No playing out of doors.
Girl (with a book): But in the rainy season
I have other joys,
I read my books and play
At home with all my toys.
Compere: Which is the coldest season?
Children: It is winter.
Compere: Let us talk about winter.
You are welcome, winter months, and one boy and one girl.
Осенние месяцы, мальчик и девочка уходят. На сцену выходят зимние месяцы и другие мальчик и девочка.
December: This is the season
When children ski,
And old Father Frost
Brings the New Year tree.
January: The windows are blue at night,
But in the morning they are white,
And snowflakes are falling.
"Come out," they are calling.
February: Get out of bed and take your sled
This cold and frosty day;
The sun is bright, the snow is right
For outdoor winter play.
Boy: Where is my cap?
My warm little cap?
My boots and my mittens too?
I want to go and play in the snow
And have a lot of fun. Do you?
Girl: When windows are frosty and icy in places,
I like to write letters and draw funny faces.
Winter Months: The snow is falling, the north wind is blowing;
The ground is white all day and all night.
На сцене появляется мальчик, изображающий ветер, а также девочки в костюмах снежинок.
Wind: Little snowflakes, come and play,
I have nothing to do today.
Снежинки начинают танцевать.
Snowflakes: Here we come! Oh, what fun!
We are dancing and floating in the sun. Все поют песню "Snowflakes".


Snowflakes
Snowflakes fall on trees and walk.
Snowflakes fall as white as chalk.
Snowflakes fall into my hand.
Snowflakes brighten up our land.

December: See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky:
On the wall and house-tops,
Soft and thick they lie.
January: On the window-ledges,
On the branches bare,
See how fast they gather,
Filling all the air.
February: Now the bare black bushes
All look soft and white;
See the snowflakes falling:
What a pretty sight!
All together: Don''t forget the birdies
Now that winter comes;
Think, they may be hungry,
Throw them out your crumbs.
Wind: Come on, snowflakes, come with me.
There are many things to see.
Snowflakes: Come on, sisters, back we go
To where the ground is white with snow.
Снежинки, танцуя, убегают. За сценой слышны голоса Деда Мороза и Нового Года.
Father Frost and the New Year: May we come in?
Winter Months: Yes, do! You''re welcome! We''re all glad to meet you.
Входит Новый Год с колокольчиком, которым он все время звенит. За ним идет Дед Мороз, за плечами у него мешок, на груди календарь. Все, кто на сцене, подходят к ним.
Nеw Year: Let''s sing a song about the seasons of the year.
All together: Oh, yes! Let''s sing.
Все участники вечера начинают петь песенку "Seasons".



Seasons

Winter is white,
Springtime is green,
Summer is golden
And autumn''s a flame.
Four lovely seasons
To make up a year,
Sing them by colour
And sing them by name.

Все уходят со сцены.
Compere: Now, boys and girls! Stand up. Let''s do some exercises.
Все встают. Ведущий говорит рифмованные команды; учащиеся выполняют их на местах, а один из учеников — стоя на сцене.
Hands on your hips,
Hands on your knees,
Put them behind you,
If you please.
Touch your shoulders,
Touch your nose,
Touch your ears,
Touch your toes.
Raise your hands
High up in the air;
To the sides;
On your hair.
Raise your hands
As before,
While we clap:
One, two, three, four.

На сцену выходят двое ребят.
Compere: That''s fine. Sit down, boys and girls, and let''s see who''ll give the best answers to the questions. These pupils will ask you.
1st Pupil: What season is it now? What season was it before winter came? What season comes after winter? What season do you like best? Why do you like ... best? Is it raining now? When does it often snow? Is there a lot of snow on the roofs of the houses or only a little?
2nd Pupil: What colour is the sky today? Is it cloudy or isn''t? Is the sun shining or isn''t? What''s the temperature today? Is the weather fine today or is it bad? Why do you think so? What holidays are there in winter? How do you spend them?
Compere: Now, dear boys and girls, I''d like four pupils from each team to come here. Now each of you take a picture you like and describe it. I give you three minutes to think about what you will say.
Вызванные учащиеся выбирают по картинке и готовятся несколько минут, чтобы выполнить задание.
Пока учащиеся готовятся к описанию, учитель отбирает по одному капитану из каждой команды, по 10 болельщиков и проводит игру "Seasons". Каждый из болельщиков задумывает одно слово на тему «Времена года». Все эти слова записываются учителем на листке бумаги (чтобы учащиеся не изменили вдруг задуманного слова). Капитаны становятся на большом расстоянии друг от друга. Каждый капитан имеет право сказать 10 предложений на тему «Времена года». Например, первый капитан говорит: Autumn comes before winter. Sometimes it is cold in autumn. There are few flowers. The leaves on the trees are yellow and red. Only fir-trees are green in autumn. The grass in October is yellow. It often rains. The sky is cloudy. The sun does not shine. The wind is cold. Children have their warm coats on. Как только он называет предложение, в котором содержится задуманное слово, ученик, который задумал это слово, становится рядом с ним. Потом говорит 10 предложений капитан второй команды. Выигрывает капитан, который отгадал больше задуманных слов и чей рассказ лучше.
Compere: Now let''s listen to the boys and girls who are going to describe the pictures. First Team I. Each of you will come forward in turn, show your picture and describe it. Then Team II will do the same.
Каждая команда по очереди описывает картинки. После описания картинки каждым учеником представители его команды имеют право добавить свои предложения и получить дополнительные очки.
Compere: Now let''s play the game "Who Can Say More?" Will five pupils from each team come here? Each of you must say a sentence about the season I name. For example: "Spring."
После этого ведущий кидает мяч поочередно всем ученикам команды. Каждый ученик, которому ведущий бросил мяч, ловит его, говорит одно предложение и кидает мяч обратно ведущему. Compere: Now we''ll play the game "Memory Run". I''d like four pupils from each team to come up to me. Team I, line up to the left and Team II — to the right. Now face the picture "Summer". When I name one of you, he or she will run up to the picture and touch anything he or she likes in the picture and name it. Then he runs quickly back. I name the second pupil. He touches the same object in the picture and names it. After that he touches anything else in the picture, names it and runs back.
Игра проходит в быстром темпе. Водящий вызывает представителей обеих команд поочередно. Третий ученик называет три слова, четвертый — четыре и т. д. Слова надо называть в том порядке, в котором это делали предшествующие ученики. Выигрывает команда, которая безошибочно повторила больше слов.
Compere: Now, dear boys and girls, I''ll give you some riddles and you''ll try to guess them. Listen carefully.
Ведущий называет следующие загадки:
1. Fat and gay, on a winter day,
He came here with us to stay.
But day by day he grew sad and thin,
And so we brought his younger brother in.
(A calendar.)

2. A little old woman with twelve children,
Some short, some long, some cold, some hot.
What is she?

3. Can you name five days of the week? I don''t mean Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

5.What is without hands and without feet, without a head or a body, but can open a door?

6. What is it that can catch me in the garden and make me wet, but cannot reach me when I am in the house?

7. It''s so weak that a little wind can move it. It''s so strong that you can cut it with a knife and leave no mark.
(Water.)

8. It is white, it is cold. We can skate on it. What is it?

9. It''s blue by night,

10. What man cannot live inside the house?

Compere: Both teams have guessed the riddles. Good! Now one team will do actions and the other team will try to guess what they are doing. They will ask general questions in turn and the first team will answ
