A1. Thanksgiving Day is one of the most popular holidays in America. People celebrated this holiday many years ago and now days it is celebrated too.

A2. But what was the beginning of this holiday? My friends Pilgrims will tell you about it. Be very attentive listeners and take part in our «Thanksgiving» quiz.

A1. Once upon a time in the land of England, there lived a small group of people called Pilgrims. The Pilgrims were unhappy, because the King of England would not let them worship God in their own way. (На сцену по одному выходят пилигримы и причитают)

P1. What shall we do?

P2. We are so unhappy.

P3. The king of England doesn’t let us worship God in our own way.

P4. What will our future be? Our children, poor little things.(Нежноприжимаетксебемладенца)

P5. Oh, my God! I can’t hear that. Don’t cry. I have my idea. Let’s find a new world, a world of freedom, love and friendship.

P3. Where is this wonderful world? A better life?

P5. It’s far away, across the wild ocean.

P2. How can we get there?

P5. By ship. Let’s call it “Mayflower”. Itwillhelpus.(Показывает на корабль.Всерасступаются).

A1. So the Pilgrims packed up their belongings and said a tearful good-bye to their homes and their friends and the world they knew.

A2. On a mild day in autumn, they set sail for a new world called America, which was across the wide ocean. Together, they hoped to find freedom and a better life.

(Все садятся на корабль и плывут под звуки шума моря. Исполняетсяпесня “ A sailor went to sea”. Исполняетсяпесня “Тwinkle, twinkle little star, пилигримызасыпают).

P1. Day after day we saw nothing but the endless ocean and the sky. More than one hundred people squeezed into a small wooden sailing ship. Twenty-two of the Pilgrims were children.

P5. (Смотритвбинокль) Look! Land! I see the land!

Всевместе: We are lucky!

(Все вместе исполняют песню “ Theshipissailing”. Слышны звуки природы. Пилигримы высаживаются на остров и осматривают незнакомую им землю.)

P3. Oh, the land is splendid: so many beautiful trees, green grass, wonderful birds.

P2. The endless sky is so clean and blue.

P5. No towns, no houses, no sign of any people.

P4. It’s the best day in our life.

P1. Sh-sh. The wild land is full of mystery and promise.

P3. Yes, I’ve heard that in America there are a lot of fierce animals and savage Indians.

P5. No panic. Winter is coming. That's the problem. We need warm houses and food.

A1. After many days of exploring up and down the coast, they found a deep harbor near good farmland. Here they would make their home. They called it Plymouth.

A2. While some stood guard against Indians, the others began to build houses. (Mожноизобразитькакпилигримыстроятдом). The first was long and low and very plain. They called it the Common House – for they would all share it. As each day grew a little darker, they worked quickly. Winterwascoming!

(Слышны звуки метели или любой музыкальный отрывок, иллюстрирующий зиму.Пилигримызамерзают)

Всевместе: Spring! Spring!

P5. Thank you, God, we have survived.

A1. By the time spring came, there were only fifty Pilgrims alive – and they were mostly children.
