ST VALENTINE'S DAY

Scenario

Teacher- Good afternoon, my friend. Today we'll speak about a very beautiful holiday- St Valentine's Day. It is a day for all people who are in love. It is the day when boys and girls, husbands and wives, friends and neighbours send greetings of love to each others. They do it with a Valentine card.The first Valentine was a bishop, a Christian martyr who, before he was put to death by the Romans, sent a note of friendship to the blind daughter of his jailer. The Christian Church cononized him and chose February14 for this saint's day Earlier February14 was an old pagan festival.
On that day young Roman girls threw decorated love letters into an urn. Their boy-friends were to draw out those letter.

Let's see a little funny play about the history of St Valentine's Day

На сцену выходят 7 человек, играющие в сценке: Бог, 2 пары влюбленных, 2 ангела. Все одеты в костюмы.

God- Once upon a time there were two little Cupids. All day long they frisked in soft clouds and on green flowering lawns of Paradise. They were very happy. But once their arrow accidentally hit a man's heart. It happened so unexpectedly and at first they were frightened, but then they were amused by the man's reaction.

Couplet 1

He: You don't know how much I love you. Or else, darling, you shouldn't be crying.

She: Hush, darling! You should know - I love you!
'Cause my heart, dear, is trembling just for you!

God: They laughed so much that didn't notice that another arrow flew and hit the woman's heart. The cupids stopped laughing and watched them.

Couplet 2

He: You don't know how much I love you.
Or else, darling, you shouldn't be crying.

She: Hush, darling! You should know - I love you!
'Cause my heart, dear, is trembling just for you!

God: These two were very happy and lived a long life. His name was Valentine and her name was also Valentine, so the Cupids called this day Valentine's. I saw it. Since then shooting arrows at people's hearts has become the Cupids' profession. I told them to make all people happy, ordered them to meet every year on the 14th of February and shoot their arrows.

Angel 1: Hi, Cupy!

Angel 2: Cupe! How are you?

Angel 1: I'm fine! And you?

Angel 2: Today's our day. What can be better?

Angel 1: Let's start!

Angel 2: How impatient you are! Who shall we start with?

Angel 1: Do you see that couple over there?

Angel 2: Yes, I guess they don't look happy enough.

Angel 1: Get your arrow ready! Let's do our work!

The reason is I love you best.
***

The honey is sweet and so are you.

- It's Valentine's Day. And in the street

There's freezing rain, and slush, and sleet.

The wind is fierce. The skies are gray.

I don't think I'll go out today.

But here inside the weather's warm.

There is no trace of wind or storm.

And you just made the morning shine.

You said you'd be my Valentine.

A Valentine for my teacher

- My teacher's very special,

So I'm making her a heart.

A Valentine that's sure to be

A proper work of art.

I've worked on it all morning,

So it should be ready soon.

I'd like to slip it on her desk

Before this afternoon.

It's colored in with crayons,

And it's trimmed with paper lace

It has flowers hearts, and Cupids.

I can't wait to see her face.

Teacher-We have already mentioned that people often send each other valentines on this day. We also have a mailbox for valentines. Now we'll see how many cards are there. But first I want to read you a poem about a Valentine mailbox.

Our classroom has a mailbox,

That we painted red and gold

We stuffed it with more Valentines

Than it was made to hold.

When we opened it this morning,
I was nervous as could be.
I wondered if a single one
Had been addressed to me
But when they'd been delivered
I felt twenty stories tall.
I got so many Valentines,
I couldn't hold them all.

Have you understood the poem? let's try to translate it.

Учащиеся с помощью учителя переводят стихотворение

Teacher-Now I need 2 of you to help me with our mailbox. Who wants to be postmen?

К учителю подходят 2 ученика-помощника, и раздают валентинки

Love is ... a tender feeling,
Love is ... a way of being,
Love is ... just showing someone you care.
Love is ... helping with the dishes
Love is ... feeding your pet fishes
Love is ... just giving from you heart
Love is ...
L-O-V-E
Love is ...
For you and me
Oh ! Love is the greatest thing in the world.
