It is winter. The snow is falling. Touch the snowflakes. Open your palm, it is sitting there, enjoy it. Oh, it is melting.

There is a lot of snow around you. Make a snowman. A very big one. Yes, thank you. It is wonderful. Now, you are the snowman. A beautiful and proud one.

No other snowman is like you. What happens? The sun is coming back on the sky, you are melting... The sun is stronger, warmer... No more snowman. Thank you very much. You were extraordinary snowmen!

Once upon a time, IN a far-away country, somewhere in Russia, there lived a stepmother who had a stepdaughter and also a daughter of her own. Her own daughter was dear to her, and always whatever she did the mother was the first to praise her, to pet her; but there was but little praise for the stepdaughter; although good and kind, she had no other reward than reproach. What on earth could have been done? The wind blows, but stops blowing at times; the wicked woman never knows how to stop her wickedness.:She was very wicked. She couldn´t get rid of her wickedness.

Mum: Hi, dear Marfuska angel. How are you?

/the leader sends replicas around the circle, everyone repeats it in a suitable mood/

Marfusa: Hi. I feel awful. Everything pushes me. It hurts so much!

/ everyone in the group practises it./

Mum: "Now, old man, I want you to take Nasta away from my eyes, away from my ears!!!

Father Frost: Good morning

/Kind reply/

Father Frost:Are you comfortable, dear child?

Nastenka: Indeed I am Father Frost.
