Announcer:     Dear pupils, teachers and our guests. Today we’ve gathered to celebrate one of the major American holidays – Thanksgiving Day. People have always given thanks at harvest time. They are glad to have food for the winter and celebrate with feasting and prayers of thanksgiving. Today you will learn some interesting facts, play games, and sing songs.

Pupil: Т  for time to be together, turkey, talk and tangy weather.

Pupil: H for harvest stored away, home, and health and holiday.

Pupil: A  for autumn’s frosty art, and abundance in the heart.

Pupil: N  for neighbors, and November, nice things, new things to remember.

Pupil: K  for kitchen, kettles’ croon, kith and kin expected soon.

Pupil: S  for sizzles, sights and sounds, and something special that abounds.

         That spells: Thanks – for joy in living and a jolly good Thanksgiving.

Pupil:     There is one day in a year when all Americans stay home with their families and eat a big dinner. This is Thanksgiving Day. The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day in the fall of 1621. But how it all began.

Музыкальное сопровождение.

A song “America, The Beautiful”

Indian:      Ladies and gentlemen! I am Massasoit, chief of my tribe, and these are my people. We are glad to welcome you at this place today.

Pilgrims:      We are newcomers. We are from the Old World. We are from New England. We sailed to America on the ship. We are known as the Pilgrims, which means strangers or wanderers.

Pilgrims:        We sailed to America from Plymouth, England, in September 1620. We came to America for religious freedom. We were among the first European settlers in America. The name of our ship was the Mayflower. We landed at Plymouth Rock in December 1620.

 Indians:      We lived in America before Jamestown was founded and the Pilgrims arrived. We are the Native American Indians. The Indians began settling in America about 25.000 years ago. We hunted, fished and farmed to survive. There were many tribes and each had its own customs and beliefs.

Scene I.

The 1st Pilgrim:     Oh, I see a land! Look!

All Pilgrims:          Land! Hurrah! Land!

The 2nd Pilgrim:     Look! There are people there. They welcome us.

The Indian Leader: Welcome to our land! Who are you? Where are you from?

The 1st Pilgrim:      We are Pilgrims. We are from England. We have come for new                   lives. And who are you?

The Indian Leader: We are Indians. We have been living here for a long time. You may stay here and live on our land.  

Pilgrims:                  Thank you very much.

Pilgrims:       Our first winter in the New World was difficult. We had arrived too late to grow any crops. Without fresh food, half of us died.

Scene II.

The 1st Pilgrim:        We have nothing to eat. Many people have died and many are sick.

The 2nd Pilgrim:       What shall we do?

The Indians:             Hallo! We have brought food to you:bread, vegetables, fruit, corn and other things.

The Pilgrims:           Oh! Thank you very much! You have saved our lives! We’ll never forget it!

Pupil: We began to build a new village and called it “New Plymouth”. Our children helped us a lot.

Pilgrims:    A poem “Pilgrim Children”

Pilgrim children worked hard all day.

Pilgrim children had little time to play.

                   The first child chopped lots of wood.

                   The second child helped made the family food.

                   The third child helped keep the horses fed.

                   The fourth child made a mattress for his bed.

                   The fifth child made soap and a candle.

                   The sixth child turned the meat-roasting handle.

                   Pilgrim children worked hard all day.

                   Pilgrim children had little time to play.

Indians:                 I am Squanto. One day I came to Pilgrims’ village. They were very frightened. But I smiled and said: ”Welcome, Yankee!” I could speak English a little, but I couldn’t say the word “Englishman”. I said Yankee.

Indians:                 And since then “Yankee” has been the name of a white man in America.

Pilgrims:                 So the following spring the Indians taught us how to hunt, fish, plant and survive in America. The crops did well and in the fall of 1621 we had a great harvest. We were thankful and decided to celebrate it with a Thanksgiving feast. We prepared a dinner of corn, beans and pumpkins and invited our Indian friends to share this tree-day feast.

Scene III.

The Pilgrim:  Welcome to our Thanksgiving feast! We are grateful to you for many things. But the main is: you helped us when we suffered greatly. And we’ll never forget those days!

Indians:                 Sure, The Pilgrims invited us to that feast. We came there in our best clothes. We were dressed in deerskins, feathers and foxtails. Our faces were painted in red, yellow and white.

Indians:                 We brought some wild turkeys as a present. It is an American bird. When Pilgrims ate it at the dinner they liked it very much.

Indians:                 But before Thanksgiving Dinner they gave thanks for everything they had that year.

                          A THANKSGIVING PRAYER

                      Dear Lord, on this Thanksgiving Day

                      With grateful hearts we bow and pray

                          For blessing given from our birth

                          Exceeding way beyond our worth

                                 For friends who’ve proven

                                             to be true;

                                    For pets, which count

                                      as friendships too;

                                    For home and country,

                                         health and love

                                      All sent to us from

                                         Heaven above.

                            Lord, Please continue to be near

                          And guide us through another year.

Announcer:         Americans still celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the fall. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.

 A poem “Thanksgiving”.

Pupil:   Thank you

for all my hands can hold –
apples red and melons gold,
yellow corn both ripe and sweet,
peas and beans so good to eat!

            Thank you

for all my eyes can see –
lovely sunlight, field and tree,
white cloud-boats in sea-deep sky,
soaring bird and butterfly.

            Thank you
for all my ears can hear –
birds’ song echoing far and near,
songs of little stream, big sea,
cricket, bullfrog, duck and bee!

Announcer:

         Thanksgiving Day is associated with certain symbols and food.                                       Turkey is part of the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, since it is believed that the Pilgrims and Native Americans had turkey at their feast. Cranberries are also part of Thanksgiving dinner.

 Pupil:    I know a funny poem about a turkey. I think you’ll like it.

Five Plump Turkeys.

        This plump turkey spread his tail like a fan.
This plump turkey away he ran.
This plump turkey flew up in a tree.
This plump turkey gobbled at me.
This plump turkey said, “I’ll leave right away,
So the cook can’t find me on Thanksgiving Day”.

Announcer:                 Thanksgiving Day is a legal holiday celebrated throughout the USA. In 1861 President Lincoln proclaimed the 4th Thursday in November as a national Thanksgiving holiday. People of all religions celebrate this day. They give thanks for the many good things in their lives. This is a family holiday. Even if they live far away, family members gather together for a reunion at the house of an older relative.

Pupil:                                           Over the River

Over the river, and through the wood,
To Grandmother’s house we go;
The horse knows the way,
To carry the sleigh,
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the nose
And bites the toes
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandmother’s face I spy.
Hurrah for the fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

Announcer:         Do you know the traditional dishes on Thanksgiving Day? (Ученики называют блюда). Right/ Listen to traditional menu on this day.

Apple pie, pumpkin pie,
Turkey on the dish!
We can see, we can eat
Everything we wish.

        Grandma’s here, Grandpa’s here,
Cousins bright and gay,
Aunts and uncles share with us
This good Thanksgiving Day.

        Thank you, God, Thank you, God,
For good things to eat.
Thank you also for this day
When we with friendly hearts do meet.

Announcer:                 Thanksgiving in America is not only giving thanks to God. It also has such national entertainment as a Thanksgiving Day Parade and a professional football game broadcast on TV. Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New Your City is famous and watched on TV by millions of people every year.

Pupil:         The Thanksgiving Day Parade.       

                     Thanksgiving Day is here today,                                                         the great parade is under way,
and though it’s drizzling quite a bit,
I’m sure that I’ll see all of it.

                    Great balloons are floating by,
         cartoon creatures stories high,
         Mickey Mouse and Mother Goose,
         Snoopy and mammoth moose.

                    The bands are marching, here they come,
         pipers pipe and drummers drum,
         hear the tubas and the flutes,
         see the clowns in silly suits.

                    It’s pouring now, but not on me,

          I’m just as dry as I can be,
        I watch and watch, but don’t get wet,
        I’m watching on our TV set.

A dance.

Announcer:                 The tradition of a Thanksgiving football game is new. At first local baseball games had dominated Thanksgiving holiday afternoons. But later American football had become the national Thanksgiving sport. It is broadcast on TV.

Pupil:         Daddy’s Football Game.

        Our turkey dinner’s hardly gone

        When Daddy said, “The game is on”.

        He turns it on, takes off his shoes,

        And turns to watch his heroes lose.

        He sits and screams, we sit and grin,

        He gets so mad when they don’t win.

        Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same

        Without my father’s football game.

                        This Land Is Your Land (by Woody Guthrie)

As I was walking that ribbon of highway

I saw above me that endless sky-way,

I saw below me that golden valley,

This land was made for you and me.

This land is your land, this land is my land,

From California to the New York island,

From the red-wood forest to the Gulf Stream water;

This land was made for you and me.
