LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
The aim: to teach young people to take care of each others, to make them understand that the basis of love is not only the attraction to somebody, it’s the inner world of the person and the combining of interests; to bring up the teenagers to have nice relations between the representatives of different sexes.
(The classroom is decorated with flowers, colorful hearts, famous St. Valentine’s poems, quotes)
***
Roses are red, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet and I love you.
***
Wake up on this special day,
And read these words from me.
It’s not a dream. My love is true.
Look in my heart and see.
***
February the fourteenth day,
It’s Valentine, they say,
I choose you from among the rest
The reason is I love you best.
***
Sure as the grape grows on the vine,
So sure you are my Valentine.
The rose is red, the violet is blue,
Lilies are fair and so are you.
***
I am like a cabbage
Divided into two;
The leaves I give to others
But the heart I give to you.
CompereI: Dear guests! Dear boys & girls! Love! Happiness! Beauty! There're not so many days in a year when we pronounce these pleasant words. I’m very glad that you have come to the party, dedicated to the most wonderful holiday of the year. Can you guess, what holiday I’m talking about? Any ideas?
You are right! St. Valentine’s Day! In all English-speaking countries, February, 14th is a special day for people in love. It’s not a holiday, but it is a very good day for flower shops, chocolate shops and card shops. Boys send cards to their girlfriends, and girls send cards to their boyfriends. But often they don’t write their names in the cards. The name of the person sending the card is a secret, – that’s the tradition.
Compere II: but where does the holiday come from? Rome… 50 century AD. The emperor Julius Caesar wants to form the strongest army in the world. “The real man must be the real soldiers, he mustn’t be at the woman’s skirt,” says Caesar. “He must go to the wars and nothing must connect him with his home. I forbid my warriors to marry.” The order was sent everywhere in the country.
Compere I: But can you forbid the sun to shine and the rain to water the earth, can you order the birds not to sing the song, and a young heart not to love? And the order is disobeyed when the young and handsome soldiers of the Roman army meet beautiful girls.
Compere II: And if they cannot marry in a legal way they have the opportunity to marry secretly, because there is the priest Valentine in the army who marries the couples in spite of Caesar’s order. Many families were formed due to the priest. But one day he was betrayed and executed on February, 14th.
CompereI: The couples who found happiness thanks to this priest began to call him St. Valentine and celebrate February, 14th as the day of all Sweethearts. Not long ago we began to celebrate this holiday in Ukraine.
Compere II: So, today is February, 14th and we celebrate the holiday of sweethearts – St. Valentine’s Day. At this day you have an excellent chance to plunge into the atmosphere of love and camaraderie, to take part in party-games, to practice the use of some pleasant words and expressions on this special occasion.
Compere I:You are welcome to our contest. I’ll introduce you the participants of our party, the students of our lyceum who love this holiday. The class has been divided into two teams, and we shall see which one knows more about the holiday. So meet … and I also want to introduce you our honourable jury who will judge today’s contests … .
