1-й ведущий: Today we shall tell you interesting information about the history of Thanksgiving Day.
Чтецы: Do you know the story
Of the first Thanksgiving Day
Founded by our Pilgrim Fathers
In that time so far away?
They had given for religion
Wealth and comfort – yes, and more –
Left their homes and friends and children
For unknown barren shoe.
We shall never know the terrors,
That they faced years ago,
But for all their struggles gave us,
We our gratitude can show.
And the children of New England
If they feast or praise or pray
Should bless God for those brave Pilgrims,
And their first Thanksgiving Day.
2-й ведущий: The 17th century. A wonderful country with thick forests, fat lands, blue rivers and lakes.
This unknown land attracted Europeans and they travelled there to find a new better life.

1-й ведущий: The following spring the Indians taught them how to grow corn, a new food for the colonists. They showed them other croups to grow and how to fish and how to hunt the wild turkey, whose meat was very delicious. The Indians helped the colonists to survive through the cold winter. In autumn the harvest was very rich and they thanked God for it.
Молитва. Oh, thanks God!
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 friendship 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.
2-й ведущий: People were very thankful and decided to organize a great feast where turkey was the main dish. They invited Indians, who brought deer meat to be roasted with the wild turkeys. The Holiday lasted for three days. For the whole tree days they gave thanks to God and nature for a plentiful harvest and good year.
1-й ведущий: And since that time every fourth Thursday of November, the Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. In the USA it is a national holiday. People go to church to take part in religious ceremonies in the morning. Children don`t go to school .
2-й ведущий: Now we’ll tell you about the Symbols of Thanksgiving. (Презентация)
P.1 Turkey, corn or maize, pumpkins and cranberry sauce are symbols which represent the first Thanksgiving. Now all of these symbols are drawn on holiday decorations and greeting cards.
They decorate schools, homes, stores with various symbols, including pictures of pilgrims, Indians, turkeys and harvest symbols. The horn of plenty or cornucopia, wreaths of dried flowers, and dried, multi-colored «Indian corn» are often used as door and table decorations.
P.2 Cornucopia is the most common symbol of a harvest festival. A Horn shaped container, it is filled with abundance of the Earth's harvest. It is also known as the 'horn of plenty'. The traditional cornucopia was a curved goat's horn filled to brim with fruits and grains.
P.3 Pumpkins and 'Pumpkin Pies' are a Thanksgiving favourite for about 400 years. Pilgrims probably made a pumpkin dish sweetened with honey or syrup. Pumpkin leaves were also used as salads.
P.4 Cranberry, is a symbol of thanksgiving. The cranberry is a small sour berry. It grows in bogs. Originally called crane berry, it got its name from its pink blossoms and drooping head which reminded the pilgrim of a crane. The name was later changed to a Cranberry. Pilgrims soon found out a way to sweeten the bitten cranberries with maple sugar. Sweet-sour cranberry sauce or cranberry jelly was on the first Thanksgiving table and it is served today. The Indians used the juice to dye their rugs and blankets. They taught the colonists how to cook the berries with the sweetener and water to make a sauce.
P.5 The use of corn meant the survival of the colonists. Beans are a special symbol of thanksgiving too. Native Americans taught the pilgrims to grow beans next to cornstalks.
P.6 Thanksgiving is a family day. It is a custom for all members of the family to gather at the home of their parents. Even if they live far away, family members gather together for a reunion at the house of an older relatives. And for most families the high light of the day is Thanksgiving dinner. Several generations of the family gather for Thanksgiving dinner. All give thanks together for the good things that they have and sing songs. Traditionally this feast features roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie. All give thanks together for the good things that they have and sing songs.
Учитель: What else do people do?
Ответ: Major college and professional football games are televised that day, and this unites men around the television while women are busy in the kitchen..
Of course, people give presents to each other and write congratulation cards.
Учитель: You know, that when people celebrate something, they do not only eat, they like to play as well.
1-й ведущий: There are a lot different games, which are played only on Thanksgiving Day. They play carrot pitching. Each player takes a carrot and throws it into a basket from a set distance.
Another game is grape-stringing. You need a needle and a thread. The first to fill the thread is the winner.
When they give presents they may ask you to guess what object is here:
This object is not very large, it’s as big as a tennis ball, sometimes a little bigger or a little smaller. It is usually round and quite regular in shape. When you touch it it feels smooth and firm. It is usually cool and smells fresh. You can eat it and it tastes sweet and sour. It can be red, yellow or green. What is it?
Учитель: Now let’s have a competition. Let’s form two teams and play these games .
Учитель: Now ask each other questions on this holiday.(Which team will ask more questions?).
Now I want you to look through the statements concerning this day and decide if they are true or false. ( Приложение 1).
Учитель: And two questions more:
- Is there any connection between the inner climate of the family and the number of family traditions?
- Do you prefer to celebrate holidays with your family or with others?
Учитель: Do you know any proverbs or sayings about family and traditions?
Учитель: I imagine the situation: you are at a Thanksgiving table. What would you express thanks for?
Возможные варианты ответов учащихся:
- I thank my friend because she understands me.
- I am thankful for being given a chance to meet so many good people.
