Christmas holiday script for elementary school students.

Characters: Host, Angels, Goblin, Kikimora.

Calm quiet music sounds, bells ring.

Leading. You hear? Bells announce the birth of Christ. Thousands of years ago, the Savior was born in Bethlehem. And this day became a holiday for the whole Earth.

Christmas is a holiday that erases temporal boundaries, which turns adults, respectable people into mischievous boys and girls. This is one of favorite holidays all kids. It brings light, joy, goodness and, of course, miracles.

Now let's all leave our sorrows and grievances together and mentally transport ourselves to the cave where the little Christ lies in the manger, and together with the angels glorify the Savior.

Angels sing songs praising Jesus Christ.

Leading. The whole world froze. Quiet joy spills over the mountains, forests, valleys, cities and villages. The peace of the great night is illuminated by a bright star.

But what is it? Look, the Christmas tree is sad. She is sad because she does not know how to please her baby. Meadow flowers will give the baby their beauty and delicate aroma. Fire will warm him, and water will quench his thirst. And what can she, Christmas tree? After all, apart from prickly needles, she has nothing.

Bells sound.

Leading. Look, these are angels flying to the Christmas tree.

Angels dance and decorate the Christmas tree with toys. Garlands are lit.

Leading. How our Christmas tree has changed! From a modest forest beauty, she turned into the queen of the holiday. Now she will definitely please not only the baby Jesus, but all of us.

I invite you to dance around the Christmas tree.

Participants of the holiday lead round dances around the Christmas tree. After a while, the round dance is interrupted by fervent music. Goblin and Kikimora appear.

Goblin. Hello kids, girls and boys!

Kikimora. Hello uncles and aunts! How do you live here without us?

Leading. Hello unexpected guests! How did you get here? Christmas is not your holiday.

Goblin. Got it, here it is, not lost!

kikimora. After Christmas comes Christmas time. Here is the answer to your riddle!

Leading. Indeed, Christmas time follows Christmas. And I think everyone is familiar with Christmas fun: carols, fortune-telling. In Russia, they love this time very much and celebrate it noisily and cheerfully.

Goblin. Here we are now and have fun!

kikimora. Let's play?!

Kikimora and Goblin are playing games.

Christmas games

The game "Zamiralki"

To the cheerful music, the participants of the game are invited to dance. During the dance, the leader gives commands. For example, "Right hand, freeze!" or “Left foot, freeze!”. And so on until all parts of the body “freeze”. Players can only dance with "unfrozen" parts, even eyes and tongue.

Game "Artists"

The participants are divided into teams. The facilitator invites the players to draw a picture by connecting the dots in turn. The drawing is pre-conceived by the presenter, and the location of the points must correspond to the idea. The team that manages to unravel the leader's intention wins.

Ball relay game

The game is played by two teams. Each team gets a ball. At the command of the leader, the first player passes the ball over his head to the player w standing behind. The last player, having received the ball, passes it to the player in front between the legs. The first team to have the ball first wins.

Quiz

For the quiz, you can choose questions related to Christmas, season, educational process, fairy tales or comic questions.

What is the name of the city where Christ was born? (Bethlehem)

In which fairy tale do snowdrops bloom in the middle of winter? ("12 months")

What are the sacred songs called? (Carols)

Leading. Well, we are all great, we played enough, showed how clever and smart we are, and deserved a reward. I invite you to a festive Christmas table.

Scenario

Christmas game program

"Visiting Solokha"

for children and their parents

The course of the holiday.
Solokha and two children dressed as buffoons meet the guests in the hall. Guests enter the hall to any folk tune (music of the Ivan Kupala group, ringing of bells) and sit down.

Backstage voice: More than two thousand years ago, the family of Mary and Joseph lived in Judea. Once an angel appeared to Mary and announced that she would give birth to a Son from God. Soon a baby was born to Mary, and they named him Jesus. With the birth of the Savior, as it is said in the Gospel book, a huge star lit up in the sky, the Star of Bethlehem. And since then, since the birth of Christ, we have been counting the years.

The day before Christmas was called Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, until the first star, they did not eat food, and in the evening they ate only juicy - wheat porridge with honey, drank a decoction of prunes.

Solokha: Oh, Christmas Eve today. One day left until the feast of the saint. It is necessary to have time and prepare juicy, and go to the church of God for the vigil.
Look, guys, they are waiting for us for carols!

Buffoon 1: Red girls, but good fellows!

Calling everyone for Christmas!

For fun, jokes, songs, jokes,

games and carols, tricky riddles!

We will be glad to see you

everyone on holiday with us!

Skomorokh 2: As at our gates, people gather,

To sing and dance

Celebrate Christmas.

Joy, beauty awaits you.

Skomorokh 1: And here is the “royal gates”!

Who will pass through them -

magical power pick up.

Red girls will become even more beautiful,

Good fellows will show us the prowess.

Buffoons join hands, forming a symbolic gate. Children go through the "gate" to the music

Skomorokh 1: People! Ordered up to you

bring the decree at this hour,

prepared by our Mother Winter herself.

Every year on the seventh

As the sign says,

To the people of the city of Uray

Go out for a holiday!

Buffoon 2:

Christmas time is the longest holiday.
It's funny and old fashioned.
Our ancestors drank, ate,
We had fun for two weeks.

Solokha: Guys, do you know what holidays Christmas and New Year? Can you answer my questions correctly?

What is celebrated on Christmas Day? (birth of Jesus Christ)

What is the name of the city where Christ was born? (Bethlehem).

What are the sacred songs called? (Carols)

Skomorokh1: And I know that it is customary to guess at Christmas time.

Do you know, Solokha, some fortune-telling?

Solokha: Oh, it's time for me to spit (scatters grains). Whoever gets a grain, that will be it:
Melchior, brass and gold,
Silver, cast iron and ... cotton wool,
Mansion, palace, hut,
Barn, fifteenth floor...
Ford, Toyota for rent,
Mercedes and scooter
"Volvo", "Skoda", "Zaporozhets" ...
What do you value the most?
Buffoon 1. This is fortune-telling ... Made me laugh! I have a real fortune. Here is a bag that can tell your fate.

He takes out a bag with various items in it. The guests, in turn, with their eyes closed, pull out an object from the bag that predicts its future fate, for example, a comb - to be a hairdresser, etc.

Solokha: But can you, my friend, a buffoon, cook porridge with us, and not just like that, but at the same time run, jump, have fun, in a word, celebrate New Year's Christmas time?
Buffoon 1. Certainly can. I announce sports relay races and I predict that whoever has fun and runs and is not lazy will live a hundred years without a sore throat and pharmacies!

Solokha. So, sports competitions! To do this, we need to split into two teams.
Buffoon 1: I bet that none of the teams will cope with my tasks.
Solokha: Well, you can still try. Introducing the teams: “Chicken Legs” and “Pig Ears”!
Relay “How they cooked porridge for Christmas time”.

Preparing water for porridge. Teams stand at one wall of the room, and two chairs at the opposite wall (one for each team). On each chair are two glasses, one with water, the other empty and a tablespoon. A team member needs to run up, pour 1 spoon of water from one glass to another, and return to the team. Then the next participant runs, pours the second spoon, etc.

We cook porridge. The starting position is the same. Near the teams - a plate with beans and a spoon, everyone takes a bean, puts it in a spoon, carries it to a chair, throws it into a glass of water while saying the words “Cook porridge for our carols!”, Then returns to the team.
Solokha: Did you know that on Christmas Eve, girls liked to guess at their betrothed. For example, this - girls throw boots, where he will show the groom there.

Divination. Throwing felt boots.

Solokha: And you know that the Mummers went to Christmas time, people were amused. I announce the relay
Running in buffoon wigs.
Solokha: At Christmas, children played merrily in the streets, and Christmas tree candles were lit in the houses. This custom - to gather at Christmas and New Year near a smart Christmas tree appeared in Germany in the 16th century, and in Russia the Christmas tree appeared in 1700. Toys on the Christmas tree are also not casual. The first toys - snowflakes, stars, animal figurines - were made from scrap. She symbolized the future harvest. Let's play at the Christmas tree.

Mindfulness game "Snowdrift, snowflake, slide"

(The buffoon shows the figures - a snowflake - legs apart, arms to the sides, a snowdrift - sit down, a slide - connect your hands raised up in the center of the circle - and the guests must correctly repeat after him. Solokha confuses the guys.)

Solokha: Christmas is not complete without evil spirits. Witches gather at Christmas time and arrange a sabbath, as the legend says. Play with me in the game "Witch's Panicle" is called.
Teams are called, stand in a circle and pass a broom decorated with a bow while the music is playing. Whoever, after the end of the music, had a broom in his hands, to solve the riddle about winter.

They sleep in the summer and run in the winter. (sled)

Uphill is a piece of wood, downhill is a horse. (sled)

The pebbles hid in furry bags,

Four together, one on a pole. (hand in mitten)

Egorka is coming - a white fur coat. (snow)

They looked in the window - there is a white cloth. (snow)

Crackling, vigorous, paved the bridge;

I ran through the yards, painted all the windows. (freezing)

Flowed, flowed and lay under the glass. (ice)

I am water and I swim on water. (ice)

Walking in the field, but not a horse,

Flies in the wild, but not a bird (blizzard, blizzard).

A star from the sky, and water on the palm (snowflake)

Buffoon 1: At Christmas time, people still went caroling. Our ancestors believed that in December the sun dies and then comes back again. The celebration of the rebirth of the sun was Kolyada. Let's learn a few carols with you guys.

Distribute carols to the teams. Teams prepare for 2 minutes. They perform carols.
Solokha: Guys, Santa Claus is an indispensable participant in Christmas and New Year. He has several foreign brothers: English Santa Claus, Italian Bobo Natale, Colombian Peppa Pasquale. In Finland, Santa Claus lives in the north and children write letters to him. By sending such a letter, you can get a response from Santa Claus. In Russia, Santa Claus lives in Veliky Ustyug. And our children also write letters to him. Let's try to write a letter to Santa Claus, but be sure to use these words.

The buffoon gives the teams cards with words (Christmas, Christmas tree, amazing, Santa Claus, gorgeous, gift, friend, garland, teacher, book, grandmother, snowfall). Teams prepare for 5 minutes, then read out their letters.

Solokha: Well done guys, the holiday was celebrated to glory. I hope that Santa Claus heard your letters and will definitely give gifts to all of you.

Once again, Happy Holidays to you! Happiness to you, joy!

buffoons: Love, patience, peace! Goodbye!

Participants take turns approaching the leader and take out a note from the bag. it indicates one of the signs of winter or winter holidays. For example, snow, skis, sleds, Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, snowman and so on. Without words, only with gestures, the participant must explain to the others what is written in his note. The winner is the one whose riddle is guessed faster.

make a wish

All players are invited to write their name on one piece of paper, and their desire on the other. Names are put in one hat, comic desires - in another. Then the facilitator takes turns taking a piece of paper from the first and from the second hat and reads the prediction aloud to the participant. Whoever gets it wins own wish.

Merry Solokhi

Let's remember the good old Christmas tale and arrange a Solokh contest. Two contestants participate at the same time. You will need a computer chair with wheels and a broom. On the “start” command, our Solokhs only with the help of a broom should get to the target faster than the rest. For beauty and fun, Solokhams can be tied with scarves on their heads. The fastest and most agile witch is awarded a prize, but not the devil in the bag.

Looking for Christmas treats

Christmas is a wonderful holiday when all loved ones get together and each of them deserves special attention, a gift. For this contest, the person in charge of the celebration must prepare a tasty treat for each guest, for example, Christmas gingerbread or cookies with the name of each guest from the icing. Sweets are hiding around the room, in its different corners. At the beginning of the competition, it is announced that you need to find a Christmas yummy with your name, and whoever completes the task first will win. There is also a rule: if you find a yummy that is not your own, you don’t need to tell anyone about it, just let it lie in the same place. Whoever finds their gingerbread or cookie first will also receive a prize.

There was an angel

For this competition, you need to stock up on feathers (from a pillow or buy in any store for decorative needlework). Feathers are laid out in different parts of the room. At the start command, all participants begin to collect angel feathers. Which of the participants can collect more than the rest of the feathers in one minute will win and receive a prize, for example, a keychain with an angel for good luck.

There should be snow at Christmas

Christmas is a holiday of miracle and kindness, and it is so joyful when it snows outside the window on this day, it is so beautiful when sparkling snowflakes swirl in the air. But in order for there to be more snow, each participant must draw a smooth and beautiful snowflake, but it will not be easy to do, because, before starting to draw, the participants will spin in their dance. So, the participants become in a circle and, at the command of the leader, begin to rotate around themselves until the leader stops them. As soon as the host says: everything! - participants run to their leaves, take pencils and draw snowflakes (on the whole sheet). The participant who draws a snowflake faster and more evenly (4 crossed sticks) will win and get a prize.

Christmas locomotive

Guests are divided into two equal teams. Team members line up. Each of the participants receives a spoon, and the first participants are given a bowl of kutya (in the same amount). On the “start” command, the first participants pick up a spoonful of kutya and eat, after which they pass the bowl to the second participants, the second also pick up full spoons and eat, and then pass it on to the third and so on until the last participants. The last participants will have to eat everything to the end and quickly run around their team, standing in front of the first participants and showing the host an empty bowl. The team that finishes first will win and be recognized as the fastest and most agile Christmas engine.

Collect snowflakes in a snowdrift

Each participant is given plastic bottle and the same number of pre-cut snowflakes. At the command of the host, the participants begin to put one snowflake into the bottle. Which of the guests will collect all the snowflakes into a snowdrift faster than the rest, that is, put them in a plastic bottle, he won.

Who else was born on this day?

The facilitator takes turns reading options for celebrities from various fields and fields of activity, among which there is a person who was lucky enough to be born on this bright and joyful day - January 7, for example: Who was born on this day?
A) Christian Dior
B) Gianni Versace
C) Christian Louboutin (the correct answer is c) or
A) John Travolta
b) Jim Carrey
C) Nicolas Cage (the correct answer is c).
The guest who first raises his hand and answers correctly receives a point, and a prize is awarded for the highest number of points.

How wonderful that in a series of our new year holidays took its place of honor and Christmas! Since January 7, 1991, this holiday has been declared an official holiday, but, alas, the traditions of its celebration have been practically lost. Perhaps only the great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers of today's kids could remember how they celebrated Christmas when they themselves were small.

Scenario "Christmas Rhymes"

Leading:

Oh, our village Watrushka wakes up late!

Oh, he loves to sleep! The roosters are already hoarse, the cows in the stalls are hoarse, Christmas is on the doorstep, and Vatrushka is still sleeping, sniffing through all the holes.

1st Joker: Already guests in our village, like seeds in a cucumber. Friends from all volosts came in large numbers!

2nd Joker: and from the Nemetchyna, and from the Turetchyna,

3rd Joker: Salt and bread were brought from Kingisepp.

1st Joker: and merchants came from Kupchin - very respectable men,

Leading: Well, here it is, finally. Look, grandmother Matryona swam out, drove her geese out into the yard.

Scene "Two cheerful geese lived with a grandmother."

(A skit is a performance of a well-known children's song, which is very easy to play.

It turns out to be especially funny when the smallest actor plays the grandmother, and the geese are adult aunts or uncles. You don’t have to worry about costumes for geese for a long time: put paper ribbons on your heads with the inscriptions: Gray Goose, White Goose, and not for long! Adult geese and tiny grannies can sing, and guests can sing along. You can also use the recording, or turn on the musical accompaniment - backing track. Well, you don’t need to invent movements, everything in the song is painted step by step .

Host: And what prevents us from making a homemade, kind, cheerful and not at all scary verpet?!

Home "Nativity scene"

What is a "vertep"?

Since about the eighteenth century, crib performances have become one of the favorite folk entertainments of Christmas week in Russia and Little Russia. The nativity scene is a special puppet theater, a “box”, where a performance is shown on a single plot: the Nativity of Jesus and the events associated with it (expulsion from Paradise, the worship of the Magi, the worship of the shepherds, the atrocities of King Herod, etc.).

The puppet theater got its name from the name of the cave in which, according to legend, Mary gave birth to the Holy Child. In Old Slavonic, the cave is called "nativity scene". And since the church had an ambiguous attitude towards puppet shows (and to be honest, the “nativity scenes” of Christmas events were not always distinguished by exceptional piety), the word “nativity scene” also acquired an additional meaning: “ugliness”, “outrages”.

Nevertheless, people loved nativity scenes. And as it turns out, they have retained their charm for modern children: kids love puppet theater very much! Therefore, if you wish, try to make them a Christmas gift: build a small home "box", as was customary in the old days. Children will be happy to take part in this activity.

BUILDING A SMALL HOME "BOX"

Let's take a small box, glue it outside and inside with colored paper (or cloth) and arrange a Christmas decoration inside: the back can be glued with stars, and in the center we can strengthen a large Star of Bethlehem. Let's make figures of Mary and Joseph, bent over the cradle. Children really like it when animals participate in the composition - a donkey and an ox, according to legend, warming the Baby with their breath.

Planar application is the easiest option. The smallest members of the family can take part in such a project if they already know how to hold scissors in their hands. They can be instructed to cut out the stars and stick the silhouettes of the figures on a pre-marked place.

If the figurines are cut out of sufficiently thick cardboard, they can be installed in the center of the box, glued to the “floor” of the den.

You can sculpt the characters of the Christmas action from plasticine or sew them from soft materials - it all depends on your capabilities and imagination.

The main thing is that all elements of the composition are fixed, because making a nativity scene is only half the battle. With such a small den they went caroling: they knocked on the neighbors, congratulated them on Christmas, danced and sang carols - funny songs with praises to Christ, wishes, praises and comic threats. For this, carolers were given gifts.

Leading: The village is waking up. There was smoke over the hut, and another one! Now comes the fun!

1st Joker: Oh, guys, look, it’s quiet at the Zaplatovs, the smoke doesn’t curl,

2nd Joker: no light comes out of the window!

3rd Joker: And the door creaks open in the wind ...

Leading: Let's see if there's a problem.

Hey, good people, is there anyone at home?

Scene "Old woman, close the door!".

- this is a staging of a poem by Marshak

(The text of the poem can be downloaded by clicking on the document - Appendix 3)

Or you can arrange a "visible song", i.e. stage a song. under musical insert 1 .

Leading: The trouble with these old people! Enough already pouting at each other, let's go out into the street: sing songs, lead round dances. Christmas is in the yard, and you are quarreling! I will close your door, I will not break!

1st Joker: Look at the square, the fun is in full swing!

2nd Joker: The buffoons roll Vanka, the mummers dance, and in the booth they show a miracle!

3rd Joker: Look, look! An aunt with a beard, with a mustache, speaks in a bass voice! And call her Vlas!

Leading: And the guys from Vatrushka sing ditties. Fun, fun! Who is brave, come out in a circle!

Ditties competition

You can arrange a contest of ditties .. You can certainly find a lot on the Internet, for every taste. You will find one of the options for ditties for children and adults in Appendix 4.

(Download ditties by clicking on the document - Appendix 4)

It will not be superfluous to prepare a few printed ditties and distribute them to guests. Well, the lead singers, of course, will be the main characters- Leading and mummers.

At the end of the competition, the most sonorous singers can be awarded.

1st Joker (referring to the leader ):

Come to us for morning pickle

The English ambassador has arrived!

Leading: Oh, really! I don’t know the ambassador, al merchant, but you can see right away - a foreign fellow. Chest puffed out with a wheel, goes an important gander. Arrogant a lot, but in your pocket, listen, one louse on the lasso.

Here you can imagine a parody dance number performed by Ambassador or sing something "imported".

Costumed scene "Ambassador at the holiday"

2nd Joker: Causes an interest

your technical progress:

How do you sow swede there?

With peel or without?

Ambassador: Oh yes!

Leading: Causes an interest

Your nutritional process:

How do you drink cocoa there?

With saccharin or without?

Ambassador: Oh yes!

3rd Joker: Causes an interest

Here's another cut:

How do you women go there?

In pantaloons? Ali without?

Ambassador: Oh yes!

Leading (referring to the 3rd Joker):

I was ashamed, even if I would send

Al completely weakened his head.

Wherever they say

All one will bring to the women!

3rd Joker Leading:

You, listen, do not shout loudly.

Where is the place for the test? In the oven!

What to swear and scold

Find me a bride!

(option: Find me a groom)

(The dialogue with the ambassador is borrowed from Leonid Filatov's fairy tale "About Fedot the Srelets")

Leading: There is a treasured game.

Here's the ring I saved.

(Or, if the host is male, a question to any girl: Have you saved the ring?)

Who gets the ring

He will now enter the circle.

Game "Ring".

Sounds like 2.

(Jester goes "to the people", looking for a pretty girl, lowers her into the hands of her chosen one, leads her into a circle. Now the girl is looking for a mate. The game continues for some time, and when there are five people (or the recording ends), the selected people stand in a chain and go out to the audience, the latter picks up one of the audience, etc., until everyone gathers in a big round dance).

Another fun that both children and adults love. After the round dance, you can play "brook". Remember this dance game? Pairs line up one after another and raise their hands, and the one who is left without a pair “dives” under their hands, and along the way takes a half from one of the pairs. Left without a partner, in turn, dives "into the stream".

Leading: Well that's just wonderful! One couple got married. And the holiday continues!

Ida, oh yeah!

1st Joker: All welcome here:

2nd Joker: And Tishki, and Mishki,

3rd Joker: And Kolka, and Grishka,

Leading: Both Tanechki and Manechki!

Well, good fellows, have fun, show the heroic power!

Who wants to fight the Serpent Gorynych?

Team Championship "Fight on the Kalinov Bridge"

One chair is placed in front of the teams, with three balls tied to the back (three snake heads, but maybe more if you have a large company). A relay race is held for speed, who will behead the monster faster. To do this, team members take turns running up to a chair and cut off one of the heads with scissors*. The fastest team wins.

Scissors must be prepared in advance and placed on a chair to prevent players from running around with them.

Competition "Tug of war"

Leading: The next competition is "Tug of war" .

It can be both real and comic. In the second case, the role of a rope is played by a long rope (tape), to the ends of which small round sticks are tied (see Props). At the command of the Leader, the rivals begin to wind the rope around the sticks. The winner is the one who quickly winds the rope to the middle.

1st Joker: Oh yes Tishki, oh yes Bears!

2nd Joker: Ah, yes, Kolka, ah, yes, Grishka!

3rd Joker: Ay, yes, Tanechki, ah, yes, Manechki!

Leading: And indeed, well done! Both brave and strong! Let's test your dexterity.

Competition "Come on, bite!"

Leading: And now it's time for a fun fight!

The competition "Come on bite!" Competitors must bite into an apple that is suspended from a string at mouth level without using their hands.

When children play, it is better not to strengthen the apples, but simply to hold them in an outstretched hand. This will make it possible to give everyone the same opportunity to play, because the height of the gathered kids can vary greatly.

You can end the holiday with the good old New Year's song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest" and a general round dance.

Time to start the fun
And the Christmas Angel has not yet appeared at the holiday,
He must have gotten lost along the way!

Solka:
For him to find his way
In this bright New Year's hall,
Need to prepare
And meet him together!

Klukovka:
I propose to meet him with fireworks! Do you agree? Then let's rehearse.
The left side of the hall is red fireworks, you will clap your hands. The middle part of the hall - fireworks yellow color, you will stomp your feet loudly. And the right side of the hall is fireworks of blue color, you will shout "Hurrah!". Get ready! Red! Blue! Yellow! And now all together!
Again! Held A GAME with the audience.
Solka:
We have prepared for the meeting of the Angel, it remains only to call him. And who knows how to call an angel? (children offer)
Klukovka:
Merry song!
Let's sing all together: Let's imagine how the animals would sing the song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest"
Solka:
The bear was fast asleep in the den,
His legs were numb.
He woke up, roared
Singing in a loud voice...
Children, imitating a bear, rudely and dully sing the first verse of the song “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest”.
Klukovka:
A mouse came out of a mink
In your gray pants
squeaked, whistled,
She sang very softly...
The children sing the second verse high and thin. (The blizzard sang a song to her)
Solka:
Here is a fish in the aquarium
Sings to everyone with a smile -
Very quiet, barely audible.
Well, we will sing inaudibly ...
The children whisper the next verse. (Cowardly bunny grey)
Klukovka:
Here is a horse very dexterously
It beats loudly with its horseshoe.
Jumped, danced
Very merrily neighing...
The children sing the next verse abruptly. (The horse is carrying a firewood..)
Solka:
All bears, fish, bears,
All girls and boys
Immediately supported the song
Shouting very loudly...
The children sing the last verse loudly and cheerfully. (Now she's dressed up...)
Klukovka:
In the whole world a celebration -
Christmas has come!
You live, live
Achieve good fame!
And meet the Angel with fireworks!

Solka:
Red! Blue! Yellow!…

An angel enters to the music.

Angel.
A lot of guys have gathered here.
It took me a long time to get to you
From a country far away
On the road, on the wide
Through the snowy fields
I'm in a hurry, guys, to you.
Happy New Year
I wish you happiness, joy
All smiles and kindness
Christmas Eve!

Klukovka:
Good Angel, while we were waiting for you, we played a little with the guys. Did you like our fireworks?

Angel:
Well done rogues,
Lights shine in the eyes.
To make the year go well
Let's remember the winter fun!
(says and shows movements and asks children to repeat)
Quietly falling snowflakes (Children quietly clap their hands)
Santa Claus freezes ice (clap loudly)
There was a big snowdrift.
In it - jump-yes-jump! (Jump)
Prepared the skates
We were able to make a "swallow" ... (show)
Now let's get on the skis.
We can race to Paris. (Move to the tree and back)
Let's keep having fun
Need to ride down the hill. (Stand up like a train and run)
Who's got cold feet?
Break them up a bit! (Jumping in place)

Solka:
It is immediately clear that the children
In the morning they do exercises.
I know, study for glory,
Take care of dad, mom.
You are always obedient in everything,
Cheerful and kind.
That's right, I say guys
Have I ever made a mistake?

Angel.
And now I want to know how good and handsome you are. I will say a sentence, those on my right will shout in chorus "We are good", and those on the left "We are handsome."
One side shouts "We are Good", the other answers "We are Pretty"
Kingisepp kids
Never ruin books... (Guys scream)
They do not sit idle.
They will boldly tell us about themselves ... (Guys scream)
Friends are not forgotten
And help them in trouble... (Guys scream)
Brush your teeth thoroughly
And diligent in everything ... (Guys scream)
Don't draw on the fence
Do not break desks at school ... (Guys scream)
Not lazy, not boring,
Washing up the dishes... (Guys scream)
It's nice to look at diaries.
So what are you guys? (Guys scream)

Klukovka:
Here comes the New Year
Noisy and cheerful
He will bring good luck
In cities and villages.

Solka:
Christmas star light
Gives a holiday again
Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts
Merry Christmas!
Guys, do any of you know what folk customs related to Christmas?
(if no one in the hall found what to answer, we call customs)
In the old days, they used to carol at Christmas - mummers went home, sang carols, asked for treats. It was a whole show. Usually the mummers depicted animals. Here you have a bear, and a goat, and a wolf, and even a devil.

Angel:
caroling, caroling
I will go to any hut.
I'll ask the hostess
Sweets, come on.
And cookies and sweets
And with nuts sherbet,
And halva, and chocolate,
Pastila and marmalade,
delicious cake,
Sweet ice cream.
We will feed each other
And the hosts kind word remember!

The sparrow is flying
twirls its tail,
And you people know
Cover the tables
Receive guests
Meet Christmas!

carol, carol,
You give me a pie
Or a slice of bread
Or half the money
Take it out quickly
Don't freeze the kids.
Don't give me cheesecakes -
You'll get it on top!
Don't give me a pie -
I'll take the cow by the horns.

Klukovka:
And on Christmas night they played snowballs, rode a sleigh from a hill, sang funny songs and danced.

Angel:
Well then, let's do my favorite dance, shall we?

Solka:
Well guys, let's respect our Angel, let's dance his favorite dance? What is his favorite dance? This is a fun Macarena dance! Let's all become (and adults) in a round dance. Dance movements, let me remind you for those who forgot:
"One" - stretch your right hand forward.
"Two" - stretch your left hand forward.
"Three" - right hand on the left shoulder.
"Four" - left hand on the right shoulder.
"Five" - ​​right hand behind the head.
"Six" - left hand behind the head.
"Seven" - the right hand on the right thigh.
"Eight" - left hand on the left thigh. And wagged their priests.

Dance.

Klukovka:
And now we complicate the task. We split into pairs, turn our backs to each other and dance again.

Solka:
And I know one good old game. It's called the Golden Gate. Let's play with the guys!

Angel:
Come on, come on, tell me
How to play, show me!

Solka:
In the Golden Gate game, two players stand opposite each other and, holding hands, raise their hands up. Get "gates". The rest of the children stand one after another and put their hands on the shoulders of the person walking in front, or simply hold hands. The resulting chain should pass under the gate.
"Gate" pronounce:
Together:
Golden Gate
They don't always miss!
Saying goodbye for the first time
The second time is forbidden
And for the third time
We won't miss you!
After these words, the “gates” abruptly lower their hands, and those children who were caught also become “gates”. Gradually, the number of "gates" increases, and the chain decreases. The game ends when all the children become "gates".
(playing "Golden Gate")
Angel:
Klyukovka, Solka, who do you think is smarter - girls or boys?

Solka: Of course, boys!

Angel:
And I think both.

Klukovka:
And let's arrange a competition for their ingenuity - we will hold a contest of riddles.

Angel.
I was slapped with a shovel
They made me humpbacked
I was beaten, beaten!
Doused with ice water
And then they all rolled down
From my hump in a herd.
(Slide)

Solka:
I have guys
Two silver horses
I go to both at the same time.
What kind of horses do I have?
(Skates)

Klukovka:
Run along the path
Boards and legs.
(Skis)

Solka:
Downhill - I'm flying
Uphill - dragging.
(Sled)

Angel:
What a ridiculous person
Sneaked into the twenty-first century?
Carrot - nose, in hand - a broom,
Afraid of the sun and heat.
(Snowman)

Klukovka:
The snowflakes just fell
I ran along the path
And they run after me
My entire itinerary is given out. (Footprints in the snow)

Solka:
white carrot
It has been growing all winter.
The sun warmed
I ate all the carrots. (Icicle).

Angel:
I am such a fashionista that everyone is surprised!
I love beads, sequins - any jewelry.
But on my, believe me, great misfortune
I only get dressed once a year.
(Christmas tree)

Solka:
The wind blew and frost
Snow brought us from the north.
Just since then
On my glass... (pattern)

Klukovka:
Here's my New Year's resolution.
The dance is one merry one,
It's for those who go to school
And for those who go to the garden
Yes, and an adult is happy to dance.
That dance is called
Dance of little ducks.

(dance to the music "Dance of the Little Ducklings")

Angel.
Had a lot of fun!
And now I want to know
Who can play ball?

Solka:
We divide into two teams. The first players in each line hold the ball in their hands. At the command "Attention, march!" players begin to pass the ball over their heads (under their feet) from the beginning to the end of the line. The players closing the formation, having received the ball, run and become the first in their lines, after which the players again begin to pass the ball from one to the other to the end of the formation. When the player who started the game (ball race) is the last one, having received the ball, he must run forward along his line, become the first in it and raise the ball over his head.
The team that manages to complete the ball race the fastest wins.

Klukovka:
And the losing team will have bunnies and dance us a squat dance.

They play, the losers dance the lady.

Angel.
We sang, we danced
Why aren't you guys tired?
Well then I suggest
We will play "Pleten" now!

Klukovka:
Wattle. The game is played by two teams. Children stand in lines opposite each other and learn to weave wattle. To do this, they cross their arms in front of themselves and connect the right hand with the left hand of the neighbor on the left, and the left with right hand neighbor on the right. Both ranks, lowering their hands, go towards each other with the words:

One, two. three four,
Must follow orders.
No, of course, in the whole world
Friendship is better than ours!

The ranks converge in the center and bow to each other.
Then fast music sounds, and all the children begin to dance. As soon as the music stops, all participants must return to their places in their lines. The line that forms first wins.

Solka.
Don't rush to leave
Let's keep having fun.
It's called fun
“Before we go to the right…”
Let's stand together in a round dance,
Repeat after me people!

Everyone gets up in a round dance and repeats the movements after the words.
Together:
Before we go to the right. One two Three!
And then let's go left. One two Three!
Let's all gather in a circle. One two Three!
And then we'll leave. One two Three!
Let's all sit down quietly. One two Three!
And let's hang out a little. One two Three!
Let's all clap our hands. One two Three!
Dance our feet. One two Three!

(Any cheerful music sounds here and everyone dances.)

Angel.
Christmas is coming
Magic comes to the house.
You just have to guess -
The stories will come to life.

Klukovka:
Now we'll see who remembers the most magic items from fairy tales. Who remembered, go to the center and call loudly.
(tips: self-assembly tablecloth, walking boots, flying carpet, treasure sword, Baba Yaga's stupa, hut on chicken legs, invisibility hat, lifesaver, magic wand, magic pipe, rejuvenating apples, scallop, magic ball and etc.) Children are given gifts from the Angel!

Solka.
There is nothing more interesting
What a wonderful day like this
Winter holiday season
Meet the kids.
Happy New Year to them,
Praise Christmas everywhere!

Klukovka.
I wish you happiness, friends
Warm, radiant!
An angel will take away bad weather
Let the wings be clean!
To be cornflower blue
The sky is not overcast
This Christmas is merry
Well, life is wonderful!

Angel.
At the elegant Christmas tree, the children sang,
But it's time for us to say goodbye.
Goodbye, children, have fun!
Happy New Year, Merry Christmas
Congratulations to everyone, everyone, everyone!

Additional sketch (optional).

I wish new strength, good luck,
New Years and Christmas!
May you always be expected in life
Only joy, happiness and kindness!
May there be many friends, acquaintances,
In your life path!
And may the road always be successful,
And success is just waiting ahead!

Merry Christmas
And of course we want:
Blizzard let for a whole year,
Health will give you
The wind will blow away all the ailments
To a cold backyard.
Let the snow swirl with sparks
To brighten up your faces
And the wicked moon
On the night of love will deprive you of sleep.
May one of the brightest stars
Give your talents growth
Your thought will lift up!
Let friends decorate life!

Here comes Christmas again
The triumph of heavenly forces:
On this day Christ came
To save our world from evil.
Glory to Him forever
The conqueror of darkness.
Congratulations with all my heart
With this great joy!

I heartily congratulate
Merry Christmas to all of you!
I sincerely wish you happiness
In this bright hour!
Let the light shine on you
From a starry height
And wishes come true
Plans and dreams.
May unexpected luck
Stirs up the blood.
And of course they mean a lot.
Friendship and love!

Angel.
Well done, you know a lot of fairy tales! And now, in order for us to move on to the next game, we will have to cross an impenetrable fairy swamp. You need to jump from bump to bump. Newspapers are laid out on the floor - these are bumps. Jumped on one bump, loudly say the word SNOW. Jumped on another - loudly name the word derived from the word SNOW. For example, a snowflake. I didn’t come up with a word - I lost, get out of the swamp. You do not participate in the next game.
(a game of "Bumps". Words SNOW, ICE, WATER, FIRE)- the floor is slippery!

Clown Solka:
Those guys who got over the swamp, we will play with you "Tpyntsy-bryntsy, bells." This participant is blindfolded. We stand around him. We pronounce:
Tryntsy-bryntsy, bells.
The daredevils called:
Digi digi digi dong
Guess where the call is coming from!
After these words, the "blind man's blind man" must guess by the sound of the bell and catch the participant with the bell dodging from him. When a participant with a bell is caught, he becomes a blind man, and the previous blind man turns into a regular player.

When the snows cover the ground
And Christmas will come again
Raise a glass for happiness
For peace, for friendship, for love!
And so that without grief and doubt
May you have many bright days!
Save comfort, family peace
And the respect of friends!

Deeper blue in the sky
The star is shining brighter...
Kolyada came
On the eve of Christmas.
Through the snowdrifts
Walked, laughing and having fun,
And to friends and strangers
Knocking under the windows.
And behind the old Kolyada
The carolers have come
They stood up in a noisy crowd,
The song was loudly led:
“Kolyada was born
Before Christmas…”
A bright star shines
Deeper blue in the sky...

Night. Freezing. The stars are sparkling
From above heaven.
All covered in snow, as in ermines,
A quiet forest slumbers.
Silence around. glade
Sleeping in the arms of sleep
Emerges from the forest
Watch the moon.
The stars are fading. Are pouring from the sky
pale rays,
Frosty snow sparkled
Brocade silver.
Branches spread wide
In a snow coat
Tree in the middle of the meadow
Up went an arrow.
To the beauty of the forest
The moonlight has fallen
And the lights of ice crystals
Played in the branches.
Diamond threads
Weaving in the needles
Emeralds and rubies
They lit up in the snow.
A clear star at the Christmas tree
Head lights up...
A great day is coming
Christmas holiday!

Snowflakes in a white waltz descend from heaven,
And the sleepy forest covered itself with a blanket of snow.
Today, magic flows from everywhere,
And it always happens at Christmas.
The earth is shrouded in a mysterious fairy tale,
Rivers and fields sleep under a snow blanket.
Today you quietly make a wish,
Keep it under your heart and repeat it often.
After all, on this wonderful evening of crisp beauty
All the most cherished dreams come true!!!

CH.
And how does the steam locomotive hum? How noisy are the wagons?
D.M.
We all get into the train, take places in the trailers. Did everyone take their seats? Tu-tu! Wave to your parents! Go! (to the music)
CH.
Stop! The first station "Poprygushkino". Who will jump higher!
D.M.
By wagons! The train is leaving! (to the music)
CH.
Stop! Station "Prisedushkino". Sit, get up, sit, get up, sit, get up.
D.M.
By wagons! They took their places! Tu-tu! (to the music)
CH.
Stop! And this station is called "Myself by the nose of the snipnushkino." They pinched their nose... And now they patted their heads and said in unison: “Oh yes, we are, oh yes, well done!”
D.M.
Quickly, quickly, by wagons! Let's go, tu-tu!
CH.
Stop! The train has arrived at the terminal station!

Clown Solka:
Do you guys know about such an old Russian game “The goat was walking the road”?
Let's play. I will sing you a song:
The goat walked along the road,
wide road,
Found a hornless goat
Hornless goat.
Come on, goat, let's jump,
Let's jump, let's jump
Sadness-sadness opens,
We release sadness.
One player comes out. Jumping along to the song. On the words “I found a hornless goat,” he chooses a mate for himself. Under the song, one player runs skipping. Hand in hand, they are already hopping along to the words of the song: “Let's jump with you ..., open the sadness.” They sing again, the couple disperses and each chooses another player for himself. There are already two couples running to the song. The children part again and each of them invites new guys for a steamy “walk”. The number of couples playing grows and gradually all those present are involved in the game.
