ROUND VI

Ведущий:

What holiday do children like best of all?

Yes, that's right. It's Halloween. Now students from both teams will tell us about this holiday.

Ss.:1. Halloween was first celebrated many centuries ago in Ireland and Scotland by Celtic priests called Druids. The Druids thought that Halloween was the night when the witches came out. As they were afraid of the witches they put on different clothes and painted their faces to deceive the evil spirits. They also placed food and small gifts near the doors of their houses for the witches. This was, as they say now, the beginning of the expression " trick or treat".

2. It is considered that Halloween was brought to America by the immigrants from Ireland and Scotland. In the 19^th century they celebrated Halloween according to their old traditions. As the time went by, grown-up people lost interest in Halloween and it was celebrated almost entirely by children. Dressed very strangely, children held festivals.

Ведущий: How do children dress? ( students' answers)

3. In recent years grown-up people have begun taking part in Halloween. In New York, for example, young and old people take part in parades together. A great number of people get together in one of the streets. They are dressed as witches, demons and other evil spirits.

4. There are hundreds of large orange " pumpkins" in their hands. After the parade the festival lasts almost till early morning.

Ведущий обращается к аудитории: What is your favourite holiday? Why?

ROUND VII

Ведущий:

And now Student X will recite a poem " Halloween" by John Updike.

The month is amber

Gold and brown

Blue ghosts of smoke

Float through the town

Great V's of geese

Honk overhead

And maples turn

A fairy red.

At last, small witches

Goblins, hags

And pirates armed

With paper bags.

Their costumes hinged

On safety pins

Go haunt a night

Of pumpkin grins

Ведущий: And now let us listen to the Russian variant of this poem.

( ученика было дано домашнее задание: перевести стихотворение на русский язык, сохранив ритм, рифму, контекст и настроение произведения.)

Один из вариантов перевода:

Янтарный месяц

Золотой, багряный

И пелена тумана

Над городом хрустальным.

Гусей крикливых

Караван печальный

И клёнов кроны

Шелест величавый

Морозец лёгкий

Трогает листву

И звёзды -

Узкие глаза кошачьи.

И, наконец, выходят ведьмы,

Колдуны и духи

Верша обход своих владений

С тыквами в руках.

Each round is valued by the jury.

Ведущий: You have heard about witches' tricks. I am sure everybody is fond of playing tricks. Now the teammates will play tricks on their opponents.

Участники игры предлагают друг другу различные забавные задания, конкурсы, розыгрыши. Например:

S. Please come here and look at this donkey. I am sure that you have recognized the old friend of yours. That is Eeyore. He has lost his tail. But I have found it. Here it is. If you manage to fix it in its proper place with your eyes closed you will be given a point.

Ведущий: And now the floor is given to the jury.

( подведение итогов, определение победителей, вручение призов).
