Halloween

HALLOWEEN

Ход праздника.

BAT: Good evening! Today we are  having an unusual party. We are celebrating one of the most ancient holidays in the world – Halloween.

Halloween is coming
what will you wear?
I might wear a brown bear
Halloween is coming
who will you meet?
I might meet a princess
skipping down the street
Halloween is coming
what will you see?
I might see a jack-o-lantern
winking at me.
Halloween is coming
what will you do?
I might go trick-or-treating
How about you?
Halloween is coming
what will you be?
I might be a pirate
on the deep blue see.
Halloween is coming
what will you be?
It is a secret
so wait and see.

2. Рассказ о современном праздновании

Pupil 1. Halloween was first celebrated many centuries ago by Celtic priests called Druids. They thought that Halloween was the night when the witches came out. As they were afraid of witches they put on different clothes and painted their faces to deceive the evil spirits.

Pupil 2. The jack-o-lantern, most typical of Halloween symbols, began with the Irish. According to legend a man named Jack was expelled from Hell for playing tricks on the devil He was to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern to light his way. Modern jack-o-lanterns are made from big orange pumpkins.

Pupil 3. Sometimes big and sometimes small,
But always round and yellow.
When children make my famous grin
Then I’m a scary fellow

Pupil 4. The schools are usually decorated for a week with orange and black paper, carved pumpkins here and there, and pictures of witches, cotton spider-webs and various items of the autumn season

Pupil 5. In the evening of October 31 boys and girls "dress up” in different old clothes and wear masks. On an empty pumpkin they cut out slits for two eyes, a nose and a mouth and put a lighted candle inside. The pumpkin then looks like a grinning face with burning eyes. The children go from house to house and knock at the doors, calling "trick or treat”.

Pupil 4: Listen! Somebody is knocking at the door!
