    Ещё раз про любовь (сценарий праздника 'День Святого Валентина')
    By Irina Pavlenko

    Предварительная работа:
    1. Ознакомление детей с историей и национальными особенностями празднования “Дня святого Валентина”.
    2. Разучивание с детьми английских песен, стихов, игр, танцев.
    3. Изготовление сердечек-валентинок для украшения зала к празднику и поздравления детей и педагогов.
    4. Подготовка театральной постановки по сказке “Золушка”.
    Зал украшен валентинками. Звучит музыка. Дети входят, усаживаются по местам. Появляется хозяйка праздника – ведущая.
    Ведущая: Ежегодно 14 февраля все англичане и американцы отмечают День святого Валентина. В этот день они дарят специальные подарки людям, которых они любят. Они посылают открытки с поздравлениями, которые называются валентинками. Часто подарками бывают сладости и цветы, и конечно, песни. И я хочу вам подарить сегодня песню.
    Исполняется песня “Love is ...” by Greg Sceisa.
    Love is ... a tender feeling,
    Love is ... a way of being,
    Love is ... just showing someone you care.
    Love is ... helping with the dishes
    Love is ... feeding your pet fishes
    Love is ... just giving from you heart
    Love is ...
    L-O-V-E
    Love is ...
    For you and me
    Oh ! Love is the greatest thing in the world.
    Ведущая: О любви сложено много песен и стихотворений. Об этом чувстве писал шотландский поэт Роберт Бернс. В основу этого стихотворения положена народная песня.
    Звучит стихотворение Р. Бернса “Любовь”.
    Любовь как роза, роза красная,
    Цветет в моем саду.
    Любовь моя как песенка,
    С которой в путь иду.
    Сильнее красоты твоей
    Моя любовь одна,
    Она с тобой пока моря
    Не высохнут до дна.
    Не высохнут моря мой друг,
    Не рушится гранит,
    Не остановится песок
    И он, как жизнь бежит...
    Будь счастлива, моя любовь,
    Прощай и не грусти.
    Вернусь к тебе хоть целый свет
    Пришлось бы мне пройти!
    Ведущая: Поздравления в этот день могут быть разные, например, вот такое.
    Звучит стихотворение “It’s Valentine’s Day” by Jack Prelutsk
    It’s Valentine’s Day. And in the street
    There is freezing rain, and slush, and sleet
    The wind is fierce. The skies are gray
    I don’t think I’ll go out today.
    But here inside the weathers warm
    There is no trace of wind or storm
    And you just made the morning shine
    You said you’d be my Valentine.
    Ведущая: В этот день дети спешат отдать свои валентинки своим любимым учителям.
    Звучит стихотворение “A Valentine For My Teacher” by Jack Prelutsky.
    My teacher’s very special,
    So I’m making her a heart.
    A Valentine that’s sure to be
    A proper work of art.
    I’ve worked on it all morning,
    So it should be ready soon.
    I’d like to slip it on her desk
    Before this afternoon.
    It’s colored in with crayons,
    And it’s trimmed with paper face
    It has flowers hearts, and Cupids
    I can’t wait to see her face.
    Дети исполняют песню “You are my Sunshine”.
    Ведущая: Каждый в этот день идет в школу с надеждой, что он получит самое большое количество валентинок. Об этом рассказывается в следующем стихотворении.
    Звучит стихотворение “Our Classroom Has a Mailbox” by Jack Prelutsky.
    Our classroom has a mailbox
    That we painted red and gold
    We stuffed it with more Valentines
    Than it was made to hold.
    When we opened it this morning,
    I was nervous as could be.
    I wondered if a single one
    Had been addressed to me
    But when they’d been delivered
    I felt twenty stories tall.
    I got so many Valentines,
    I couldn’t hold them all.
    Ведущая: Сегодня мы с вами посмотрим сказку “Cinderella” (“Золушка”). Мы встретимся с принцем и прекрасной девушкой, которые полюбили друг друга.
    Театральную постановку по сказке “Золушка” показывают учащиеся младших классов.
    Сказочница: This is a story about a young girl. Once upon a time there was a girl called Cinderella. She lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters. They were very unkind to her.
    Мачеха: Cinderella, make the beds!
    1-ая сестра: Cinderella, scrub the floor!
    2-ая сестра: Cinderella, iron my dress!
    Сказочница: Cinderella does everything. She is a nice girl. Her stepsisters call her Cinderella, because she is always covered in cinders. Now her stepmother and stepsisters are going to the grand ball.
    Золушка: Please, may I come to the ball?
    Мачеха: No, you can not go to the ball.
    1-ая сестра: You must help us get ready. You have much work.
    Мачеха: Iron my dress!
    2-ая сестра: Brush my hair!
    1-ая сестра: Find my shoes!
    Золушка: Oh, I want to go to the ball very much.
    Фея: I am your fairy godmother. Dry your eyes. You shall go to the ball.
    Золушка: But how can I go there in old rags?
    Фея: Now you can go to the ball. But remember you must not stay there after midnight.
    Золушка: I promise I will not.
    Сказочница: At the palace the prince is looking at her. He dances with Cinderella the whole night. Cinderella hears the clock begin to strike twelve.
    Золушка: Good bye, Your Highness. I must go.
    Принц: Cinderella! Cinderella! I will find her!
    Сказочница: Не sends his messengers to find Cinderella. And they соmе to Cinderella’s house with a shoe lost by Cinderella at the ball.
    1-ая сестра: It doesn’t fit my foot.
    2-ая сестра: It doesn’t fit my foot, either.
    Принц: Why don’t you try it on?
    Ведущая: Как хорошо, что принц нашел свою Золушку. А вот нам с вами сейчас предстоит найти на нашем празднике Валентину и Валентина.
    Мальчики и девочки берут из шапки по одному жетону.
    Ведущая: Все, у кого изображено сердечко, прошу пройти на сцену. Вам нужно будет выполнить следующие задания:
    Задание 1
    Нарисуйте “сердце пронзенное стрелой” с закрытыми глазами. (Глаза нужно завязать платком).
    Задание 2
    Вы видите шесть воздушных шариков, но они сегодня с сюрпризом. Вам нужно проколоть по одному шарику, взять карточку с вопросом и ответить на него. (Вопросы могут быть разные, например, взять отрывки из произведений, где встречается слово любовь. Дети называют произведение и его автора.)
    Задание 3
    Это задание самое сложное. Нужно сложить “разбитые сердца”, в результате мы узнаем, кто сегодня – Валентина, а кто – Валентин.
    Ведущая: Итак, Он и Она (имена детей) на весь год провозглашаются Валентином и Валентиной. И это значит, что целый год до следующего праздника вы будете примером дружбы и вежливости. А сейчас вы получаете переходящий приз (им вручаются два больших сердечка).
    Валентин и Валентина приглашают всех детей на шуточную английскую игру “Игра с веником”.
    Ведущая: А наш праздник подходит к концу. И в заключение хотелось бы, чтобы Валентин и Валентина поздравили всех с праздником.

    Так как игровой момент всегда важен в обучении,использование этого сценария полностью или частично может способствовать повышению мотивации изучения языка.

  3. Цель: повышать интерес учащихся к культуре изучаемого языка, ознакомить с традициями празднования Дня Святого Валентина.

    Праздник проходит на трех языках (английском, немецком и русском), в соревнованиях принимают участие три команды разного возраста (в данном случае 7-й, 8-й и 9-й классы), изучающие английский и немецкий язык. Конкурсную программу ведут ученики старших классов (3 ведущих).

    (Звучит медленная музыка, входят ведущие).

    E: Hello, dear boys and girls! Hello, dear guests and teachers! We are very glad to see you all!

    D: Hallo, liebe Jungen und Maedchen! Hallo, liebe Gaeste und Lehrer! Wir sind sehr gluecklich Sie zu sehen!

    Р: Здравствуйте, дорогие ребята! Здравствуйте, дорогие гости и учителя! Мы очень рады вас видеть!

    E: We get together to celebrate The Day of Love, St. Valentine’s Day. Do you know anything about St. Valentine?

    D: Wir haben hier gesammelt, um den Tag der Liebe, den Valentinstag zu feiern. Wissen Sie etwas ueber diesen Tag?

    Р: Мы собрались здесь, чтобы отпраздновать день любви, день Св. Валентина. Знаете ли вы что-нибудь об этом празднике?

    (Учащиеся старших классов читают легенды на анг. и нем. языках).

    E: Today in this country and abroad people celebrate St. Valentines Day. Do you know where this festival came from?

    D: Heute, am 14. Februar, wird im Ausland, auch in Russland, der Valentinstag gefeiert. Woher kommt dieses Fest?

    P: Cегодня, 14 февраля, за границей а также в России многие люди празднуют день Святого Валентина. Откуда же пришел к нам этот праздник?

    E: In England this festival is has been celebrated since the 15th century. The old legend tells us about a young man named Valentine who must be executed by the order of the Roman Emperor. It was in 269 AD. He fell in love with the daughter of his executioner. The girl was very beautiful but blind… A sad story, isn’t it? Later Valentine was said to be the saint and this festival became one of the loveliest.

    P: В Англии этот праздник отмечают с XV века. Старая легенда рассказывает о юноше, которого должны были казнить. Он влюбился в дочь своего палача. Девушка была очень красивая, но слепая… Трогательная история, не так ли? Позже о Валентине стали говорить как о святом, а праздник стал одним из любимейших.

    D: In Deutschland glaubten die Maedchen frueher, sie wuerden den Mann heiraten, den sie am Valentinstag zuerst vor dem Hause erblicken. Das war fuer viele Jungen Anlass, am frueher Morgen zum Hause ihrer Verliebten zu gehen, und diese mit einem Blumenstrauss zu ueberraschen.

    P: В Германии девушки раньше верили, что выйдут замуж за того мужчину, которого первым увидят в день Св. Валентина перед своим домом с цветами. Это было поводом для многих юношей пораньше отправляться под окно к своей любимой.

    E: The heart is the symbol of this day – the bouquets are made in the form of heart, in the form of heart the cakes are baked. In this day people send small paper hearts – the Valentines cards which always begin with “ I love you…”.

    D: Das Herz ist das Symbol des Tages, deshalb werden Straeusse in Herzform gebunden und Kuchen in Herzform gebacken. An diesem Tag schenkt man einander Glueckwunschkarten, die mit den Worten beginnen: “ Ich liebe dich…”.

    P: Сердце – это символ дня, поэтому букеты составляются в виде сердца, в виде сердца выпекаются пироги. В этот день люди дарят друг другу открытки в виде сердца, которые начинаются словами “ Я люблю тебя…”.

    E: We proceed our festival. We’ve got 3 teams, two of them speak English and one – German. And we also have a special expert in all languages who will translate you everything.

    P: Многие века люди думали о любви, сочиняли стихи и романы. Существует множество цитат, выражений и пословиц о любви. Сможете ли вы найти русский эквивалент?

    D: Waehrend der Arbeit unserer Mannschaften schlagen wirIhnen vor, Ihre Zukunft zu erfahren. Verlegen Sie Ihre Hand in dieses Kaestchen, nehmen Sie ein Symbol und wir sagen Ihnen, was es bedeutet.

    Кружево – Вы хотите поймать человека в свои сети.

  4. Внеклассная работа по предмету является одним из путей повышения качества обучения, предполагает высокую мыслительную активность учащихся, повышает их творческую инициативу. Проведение по-праздничному яркого внеклассного мероприятия значительно повышает интерес к предмету. Дети занимаются с желанием и радостью. Подготовка к внеклассным мероприятиям активизирует познавательную деятельность учащихся, даёт возможность оценить им свой уровень владения языком. Музыка, рисование имеют огромное значение в плане воспитания гармонично развитой личности. Нетрадиционная обстановка, исполнение ролей способствуют развитию воображения, фантазии. Дети любят импровизировать, участвовать в сценках, представлениях. Некоторые учащиеся проявляют свои «актёрские» способности, другие проявляют способности сочинять стихи, т.е. овладение языком осуществляется в ходе творческой деятельности. Таким образом, одним из вариантов заданий ко дню св. Валентина можно считать напр. перевод стихотворения с английского на русский язык:

    Here is a valentine.
    Here is a valentine.
    I made it just for you.
    With paper and ribbons
    And lots of Elmer's glue!
    I cut it with my scissors
    And designed it with my paint.
    If I tell you that I love you,
    Do you promise not to faint?

    Т.к. стихотворение короткое, лучше использовать его на начальных этапах обучения, но когда дети уже обладают некоторым словарным запасом.

    Для одаренных и творческих детей (на любом этапе) возможно задание, заключающееся в написании своего стихотворения.

    IT''S VALENTINE''S DAY by Jack Prelutsky:

    It''s Valentine''s Day. And in the street
    There''s freezing rain, and slush, and sleet.
    The wind is fierce. The skies are gray.
    I don''t think I''ll go out today.
    But here inside the weather''s warm.
    There is no trace of wind or storm.
    And you just made the morning shine.
    You said you''d be my Valentine.

    2. Песня о любви в исполнении преподавателей.

    3. Пантомима «Легенда о Святом Валентине»

    4. Ведущий 1 (юноша):
    Все начинается с любви…
    Твердят:
    «Вначале
    было
    слово!..»
    А я провозглашаю снова:
    Все начинается с любви!

    5. Ведущий 2 (девушка): Как приятно, когда юноша знает стихи Роберта Рождественского. Название нашего вечера – тоже строчки из стихотворения «Так говорите о любви, ведь все другое – преступленье».

    6. Ведущий 1: Что ж, пора начинать праздник. Сегодня мы, (ведущие представляют друг друга), поведем вас в чудесный мир любви, о которой, как сказал Сергей Есенин, «вздыхают лишь украдкой, и глаза, как яхонты, горят».

    7. Ведущий 2: А если не вздыхать??? А вот так взять и сказать вслух: « Я вас люблю» да на всех языках, которые знают наши гости??? Английский, китайский – кто больше?
    (участники вечера говорят фразу на всех языках, которые им известны).

    8. Ведущий 1: Вижу, собрались знатоки иностранных языков. Стихи по-русски и по-английски уже звучали, а есть ли что-то подобное в Китае?
    (стихотворение о любви по-китайски)

    9. Ведущий 2: Любовь не знает границ, ни языковых, ни географических. И праздник Всех Влюбленных сегодня празднуют везде. В Японии поздравляют друзей, в странах Азии, Европы и Америки выбирают «Валентина» и «Валентину», англичане – кто бы мог подумать – дарят шоколадные сердца и подарки любимым домашним животным.

    10. Ведущий 1: Шоколадное сердце – один из символов Дня Святого Валентина. В нашей комнате можно найти изображение других, кто сможет назвать все символы, получит приз.

    IT''S VALENTINE''S DAY by Jack Prelutsky:

    It''s Valentine''s Day. And in the street
    There''s freezing rain, and slush, and sleet.
    The wind is fierce. The skies are gray.
    I don''t think I''ll go out today.
    But here inside the weather''s warm.
    There is no trace of wind or storm.
    And you just made the morning shine.
    You said you''d be my Valentine.

    Все начинается с любви!

    5. Ведущий 2 (девушка): Как приятно, когда юноша знает стихи Роберта Рождественского. Название нашего вечера – тоже строчки из стихотворения «Так говорите о любви, ведь все другое – преступленье».

    Stand up. Good afternoon, my dear boys and girls.
    I am glad to see you. Sit down, please.

    II. Речевая зарядка.
    Today we celebrate St. Valentine’s Day. At first I want to ask you:
    -What do you know about this holiday?
    -What happened in this day many years ago?

    III. Основная часть мероприятия.
    Let me begin our holiday with the story about this day. I’ll read and you'll try to understand it. But at first, look at the blackboard. Here you can see some new words:
    to condemn – приговорить
    a jailer – тюремщик
    farewell – прощальное
    “Valentine was a Christian priest in the Roman Empire 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ. When the Roman Emperor Claudius II needed soldiers, he made a law against marrying because he felt that marriage made men want to stay at home instead of fighting wars. But at that moment there was a kindly priest named Valentine. He couldn’t agree with the emperor’s decision. When he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly. But he was condemned to death. In the prison he met a jailer’s blind daughter. He was in love with her. He helped her by working a miracle. He restored her sight. Just before his death, on February 14, he sent her a farewell message signed: “From your Valentine”.
    Now answer my questions:
    -Do you understand this text?
    -What new information do you know from this story?
    Now look at the blackboard. Here you can see 1 heart with wish for you. Let’s read and translate it all together:
    February the 14th day
    It’s Valentines they say
    I choose you from among the rest
    The reason is I love you best.

    Now let’s divide into 2 teams. You will be the first team and you – 2d one.

    GAME 1. I’ll give each team an envelope with breaking hearts(adjective + translation). You should combine 2 parts of one heart:
    1 - nice – милый, сладкий – sweet, beautiful – красивый, умный – clever, kind – добрый
    2 - interesting – интересный, мудрый – wise, best – лучший, любимый – favorite, good – хороший

    Now let’s check.

    GAME 2. There are 2 balloons with some words for each team. You should write a poem.
    1) flowers, hours
    Valentine, my
    2) vine, Valentine,
    stone, alone

    I want to listen to your poems.

    GAME 3. Now the first team must write all adjectives for girls, the second team – for boys.

    GAME 4. Look at the blackboard. Here you can see a word combination: Valentine’s Day.
    Each team should make new words from this combination:
    for example - tie, tile, tin, daily, native, vital, date, etc.
    Let’s count your words.

    IV. Подведение итогов.
    Thank you, children! You were very active today. Good-bye.

    Good afternoon, dear pupils and guests. It's so lovely to meet you here at our Valentine's party.
    I hope that Valentine's Day will bring you lots of fun. We'll speak about the history of the holiday, listen to beautiful songs and poems and watch a wonderful performance about Cinderella and her Prince. I hope you will enjoy the party.

    Ученик 1:
    Let me call you sweetheart
    I am in love with you.
    Let me hear with you
    That you love me too

    Ученик 2:
    O my love is like a red red rose
    That newly sprung in June:
    O my love is like the melodie
    That's sweetly played in tune.

    As fair art though, my bonnie lass,
    So deep in love am I:
    And I will love thee still my dear,
    Till a' the seas gang dry.

    Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear
    And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
    And I will love thee still, my dear,
    While the sands of l life shall run

    And fare thee weel, my only love,
    And fare thee weel a while!
    And I will come again, my love,
    Tho'it were ten thousand mile! (R.Burns)

    Ученик 3:
    Любовь, как роза, роза красная,
    Цветёт в моём саду.
    Любовь моя - как песенка,
    С которой в путь иду.

    Сильнее красоты твоей
    Моя любовь одна.
    Она с тобой, пока моря
    Не высохнут до дна.
    Не высохнут моря, мой друг,
    Не рушится гранит
    Не остановится песок,
    А он, как жизнь, бежит

    Будь счастлива, моя любовь,
    Прощай и не грусти.
    Вернусь к тебе, хоть целый свет
    Пришлось бы мне пройти!
    (Перевод С. Маршака)

    Ученик 4:
    A legend says that a longtime ago in Rome there was a priest named Valentine. Claudius II who was Emperor at that time made a law that no one could become engaged or married. He was afraid that if men had sweethearts or wives, they wouldn't want to fight in wars. But Valentine felt sorry for young people who were in love. So he married them secretly. When Emperor found it he had Valentine put to death. Some people say this happened on February 14th.

    Ученик 5:
    Nowadays Valentine's Day is a special time when people tell each other that they love them and care about them. To celebrate the date, people send special cards with romantic messages. They give small gifts and tokens to their sweethearts. Many poems are heard on this day.

    Ученик 6:
    Your heart is like a treasure.
    A source of wealth to keep.
    Impossible to measure.
    Unfathomably deep.

  15. В английском языке существует устойчивое выражение - "Wearing one's Heart on one's Sleeve" - "не (уметь) скрывать своих чувств". Если перевести дословно - "носить сердце на рукаве". У истоков данного выражения стоит традиция, распространенная в Америке и Британии в начале 19 века. Молодые люди того времени носили имя возлюбленной, приколотое к рукавам одежды.

  16. A variety of interesting Valentine's Day traditions developed over time. For example, hundreds of years ago in England, children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day and went singing holiday verses from door to door. In Wales, wooden love spoons, carved with key, keyhole and heart designs, were given as gifts.
    The gift of flowers on Valentine's Day probably dates to the early 1700s when Charles II of Sweden brought the Persian poetical art called "the language of flowers" to Europe. Throughout the 18th century, floral lexicons were published, allowing secrets to be exchanged with a lily or lilac, and entire conversations to take place in a bouquet of flowers. The more popular the flower, the more traditions and meanings have been associated with it.



    The rose, representing love, is probably the only flower with a meaning that is universally understood. The red rose remains the most popular flower bought by men in the United States for their sweethearts. In more recent years, people have sent their sweethearts their favorite flowers, rather than automatically opting for roses. Also making the list of valentine favorites are tulips, lilies, daisies and carnations.

    Among early valentine gifts were candies, usually chocolates, in heart-shaped boxes. Companies like Godiva Chocolatiers have made high quality chocolate in artistic designs and elegant wrappings a traditional Valentine's gift.

  20. Valentine's Day Discussion Questions
    for English Language Learners

    Do people celebrate Valentine's Day in your country? If so, how? If not, does your country have a holiday similar to Valentine's Day?


    Is Valentine's Day primarily a day for children or for adults, for the single or the married? Why?

    How would a child's Valentine's Day differ from an adult's?


    List ways that you could show your love for an individual on Valentine's Day.


    Flowers, candy and cards can be nice on Valentine's Day, but real love should be demonstrated in countless more practical ways every day. Identify in which you show your love for others and in which others show their love for you on a daily basis.


    What does the word "love" mean to you?


    How do the following types of love differ:
    -- a parent's love for a child?
    -- a child's love for a pet?
    -- a boyfriend's love for a girlfriend?
    -- a wife's love for her husband?
    -- a grandchild's love for a grandparent?
    How are they the same?


    Who might you give gifts to on Valentine's Day? What kinds of gifts would you give?


    Who might you receive gifts from on Valentine's Day? What kinds of gifts might you receive?


    Describe the best Valentine's Day you've ever had.


    Describe the worst Valentine's Day you've ever had.


    Imagine a perfect Valentine's Day. Who would you be with? Where would you go? What would you do? How would you feel? Describe it.


    At what age do most people in your country marry? At what age did you/do you want to get married?


    If you are not married, what kind of person would you like to marry?


    Do you think its better to be single or married? Why?
    Мне кажется, с помощью этих вопросов можно создать оживленную беседу в классе, в ходе которой ученики могли бы высказывать свое мнение и поделиться впечатлениями(например,вопрос про the best/the worst Valentine's Day).
    Игру "Valentine's Web", я думаю, можно применять на всех этапах обучения иностранному языку, потому что ученикам может показаться интересным сам ее процесс и позитивный настрой, с которым она проводится

(reading with the main idea) Answer the question: When did the Romans celebrate the Lupercalia? (15 February)

    2.Обучение аудированию.

    - This is the legend of how St.Valentine’s Day began. When the Roman Imperor Claudius II needed soldiers, he made a law against marrying because he felt that marriage made men want to stay at home instead of fighting wars. But at that time there was a kindly priest named Valentine. He couldn’t agree with the Imperor’s decision. When he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly.

    - Enjoy the scene from the legend and be ready to answer some questions.

    Далее следует инсценировка легенды.

    Священник: My daughter! My son! I declare you husband and wife!

    Стражники: Priest, you have been discovered and condemned to death! To prison! To the Tower!

    Священник: What a beautiful girl!

    Тюремщик: This is my daughter. She is blind. She will probably never see the light, trees!

    Священник: I’ll help her by working a miracle!

    Девушка: I’m so grateful to you. Even in prison you, Valentine, showed your love for everyone and restored my sight!

    Священник: Unfortunately, tomorrow on February 14 I will have to die. But I’m not scared and I want to tell everybody on earth, “I love you. I’m your Valentine”.

    Just before his death, on February 14, he sent her a farewell message signed “From your Valentine”.
    We’ve just been back in the ancient legend. February 14 was right in the middle of a Roman festival called the Lupercalia. When Christianity became the religion of Rome, this joyous day was changed to St.Valentine’s Day, in honour of the saint who had given his life to help lovers.
    3. Контроль понимания услышанного. (true|false)

    St.Valentine’s Day has roots in several legends.
    Cupid, the Roman god of love, is one of the earliest days of the day.
    Valentine was a Christian priest.
    He lived three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ n the Roman Empire.
    On February 14 Valentine was killed because he was a Christian.
    He married couples contrary to the laws of the Roman Empire.
    St.Valentine’s Day is now a day of sweethearts.

    Valentine s Day History

    Every February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, candies, gifts and cards to those we love. We do this in honour of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering who is he? The history of Valentine's Day and its patron is shrouded in mystery. But we know that February has long been а month of romance. St.Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.
    The story of Valentine's Day begins in the third century with an oppressive Roman emperor and а humble Christian martyr. The emperor was Claudius II Gothicus. The Christian was Valentinus.
    Claudius had ordered all Romans to worship state religion's idols, and he had made it а crime punishable by death to associate with Christians. But Valentinus was dedicated to the ideals of Christ, and not even the threat оf deaf could keep him from practicing his beliefs. During the last weeks of Vаlеntine's life а remarkable thing happened. One day а jailer for the Emperor of Rome knocked at Valentinus's door clutching his blind daughter in his arms. Не had learned of Valentinus's medical and spiritual healing abilities, and appealed to Valentinus to treat his daughter' s blindness. She had been blind since birth. Valentinus knew that her condition would be difficult to treat but he gave the man his word he would do his best. The little girl was examined, given an ointment for her eyes and а series of re-visits were scheduled. Seeing that he was а man of learning, the jailer asked whether his daughter, Julia, might also be brought to Valentinus for lessons. Julia was а pretty young girl with а quick mind. Valentinus read stories of Rome's history to her. Не described the world of nature to her. Не taught her arithmetic and told her about God. She saw the world through his eyes, trusted in his wisdom, and found comfort in his quiet strength.
    "Valentinus, does God really hear our prayers?" Julia said one day.
    "Yes, my child, Не hears each one", he replied.
    "Do you know what I pray for every morning and every night?
    I pray that I might see. I want so much to see everything you' ve told me about!"
    "God does what is best for us if wе will believe in Him", Valentinus said.
    "Oh, Valentinus, I do believe", Julia said intensely. "I do."
    She knelt and grasped his hand. They sat quietly together, each praying. Several weeks passed and the girl`s sight was not ' restored. Then one day, Valentinus received а visit from Roman soldiers who arrested him, destroyed his medicines and admonished him for his religious beliefs. When the little girls father learned of his arrest and imprisonment, he wanted to intervene but there was nothing he could do. On the eve of his death, Valentinus wrote а last note to Julia - knowing his execution was imminent. Valentinus asked the jailer for а paper, pen and ink. Не quickly jotted а farewell note and handed it to the jailer to give to his blind daughter. Не urged her to stay close to God, and he signed it "From Your Valentine". His sentence was carried out the next day, February 14, 270 А.D., near а gate that was later named Porta Valentini in his memory.
    When the jailer went home, he was greeted by his little girl. The little girl opened the note and discovered а yellow crocus inside. The message said, 'From your Valentine'. As the little girl lookeddown upon the crocus that spilled into her palm she saw brilliant colors for the first time in her life! The girl eyesight was restored!
    А miracle! Не was buried at what is now the Church of Praxedes in Rome. It is said that Julia herself рlаntеd а pink-blossomed almond tree near his grave. Today, the almond tree remains а symbol of abiding love and friendship. In 496 Pope Gelasius I named February 14 as Saint Valentine's Day. On each Valentine's Day, messages of affection, love and devotion are still exchanged around the world.
    Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as а sympathetic, heroic, and most importantly, romantic figure. It' s по surprise that by the MiddleAges, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and
    France.

    стихи..

    MY VALENTINE
    By M.C. Parsons

    I have a little Valentine
    That someone sent to me.
    It’s pink and white
    And red and blue.
    And pretty as can be.
    Forget-me-nots
    Are round the edge,
    And tiny roses, too;
    And such a lovely piece of laсe,
    The very palest blue.
    And in the centre
    There’s a heart
    As red as red can be!
    And on it’s written
    All in gold, “To You,
    With love from Me”.

    by mother Teresa

    At all times and within reach of every hand!
    Spread love everywhere you go
    First of аll in your own house
    Give love to your children
    То your husband or wife
    То а next door neighbour
    Let по one ever соте to you
    Without leaving happier
    Ве the living expression of God' s
    Kindness, kindness in your face
    Kindness in your eyes
    Kindness in your smile
    Kindness in your warm greeting!



    То_______
    Ву Percy Bysshe Shelley

    Music, when the soft voices die,
    Vibrates in the memory-
    Odours, when the sweet violets sicken,
    Live within the sense they quicken.
    Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
    Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
    And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
    Love itself shall slumber on.



    The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
    Christopher Marlowe

    Соmе live with me, and be mу love,
    And we will all the pleasures prove
    That valleys, groves, hills and fields,
    Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

    And we will sit upon the rocks,
    Seeing the shepherds feeds their flocks
    Ву shallow rivers, to whose falls
    Melodious birds sing madrigals.

    And I will make thee beds of roses,
    And а thousand fragrant posies,
    А cap of flowers, and а kirtle
    Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

    А gown made of the finest wool
    Which from our pretty lambs we pull,
    Fair lined slippers for the cold,
    With buckles оf the purest gold;

    А belt of straw and ivy buds,
    With coral clasps and amber studs;
    And if these pleasures may thee move,
    Соmе live with mе, and be my love.

    The shepherd-swains shall dance and sing
    For thy delight each May morning.
    If these delights thy mind may move,
    Then live with me, and be mу love.


    The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd
    Siv Walter Raleigh

    If all the world and love were young,
    And truth in every shepherb's tongue,
    These pretty pleasures might me move,
    То live with thee, and be thy love.

    Тime drives the flocks from field to fold,
    When rivers rage, and rocks grow cold,
    And Philomel* becomes dumb;
    The rest complains of cares to come.
    The flowers do fade, and wanton fields
    То wayward winter reckoning yields;
    А honey tongue, а heart of gall,
    Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.

    Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,
    Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies,
    Soon break, soon winter, soon forgotten,
    In folly ripe, in reason rotten.

    Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,
    Thy coral clasps and amber studs,
    All these in me по means can move,
    То come to thee, and be thy love.

    But could youth last, and love still breed,
    Had joys no date, nor age no need,
    Then these delights my mind might move,
    То live with thee, and be thy love.
    *Philomel — the nightingale

    I LOVE YOU MORE THAN APPLESAUCE
    By J. Prelutsky Love is a fruit in a season
    I love you more than applesauce,
    Than peaches and a plum,
    Than chocolate hearts,
    And cherry tarts,
    And berry bubble-gum.
    I love you more than lemonade,
    And seven-layer cake,
    Than lollipops,
    And candy drops,
    And thick vanilla shake.
    I love you more than marzipan
    Than marmalade on toast;
    For I love pies
    Of any size,
    But I love you the most.

    Love is not all
    Enda St. Vincent Millay

    Love is not аll: it is not meat nor drink
    Nor slumber nor а roof against the rain;
    Not yet а floating spar to men that sink
    And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
    Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
    Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
    Yet many а man is making friends with death
    Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
    It well may be that in а difficult hour,
    Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
    Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
    I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
    Or trade the memory of this night for food.
    It well may be. I do think I would.

    Песни.

    You Are My Sunshine
    The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
    I dreamed I held you in my arms
    When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
    So I hung my head and I cried.

    You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
    You make me happy when skies are gray
    You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
    Please don't take my sunshine away
    I'll always love you and make you happy,
    If you will only say the same.
    But if you leave me to love another,
    You'll regret it all some day:
    CHORUS
    You told me once, dear, you really loved me
    And no one else could come between.
    But not you've left me and love another;
    You have shattered all my dreams:
    CHORUS

    Say I Love You In A Song by Jim Croce

Was it you?”(name a pupil in the class.) She can guess three times. If she guesses correctly she stays in front and plays again. If she doesn’t guess correctly the boy who stole the heart gets to go in front.
    At the end of our Club of Merry and Smart People we’ll ask our jury to tell us about the results of our game. What is the score? Who is the winner? Whose team is better: the girls’ or the boys’ one. Жюри объявляет результаты игры. Команды заканчивают игру песней “Мой Валентин”.

    My Valentine
    I have a little Valentine
    That someone sent to me
    It’s pink and white
    And red and blue,
    And pretty as can be.
    Forget-me-nots
    Are round the edge,
    And tiny roses, too; and
    Such a lovely piece of lace,
    The very palest blue.
    And in the center
    There’s a heart.
    As red as red can be!
    And on its written
    All in gold, “To You”,
    “With Love from Me”.

    Любовь ___

    Любовь - нежданная награда,
    Она приходит ниоткуда,
    И не успеть сказать: не надо!
    И не спасти себя от чуда.
    Ее пронзительно касанье,
    Ее атака безрассудна,
    Она врывается в дыханье,
    Да так, что выдох сделать трудно.
    А сердце - раненая птица,
    К взыванью разума глухое,
    Ведь одному нет смысла биться,
    Ведь есть еще одно такое!
    И мир меняется мгновенно,
    Где все вокруг необъяснимо,
    И лишь она одна - бесценна,
    И лишь она одна - любима...
    Здесь разговаривают взглядом,
    Здесь, в пальцах, музыка влеченья,
    И смысл в одном - быть с нею рядом,
    И все в ней - свет, без исключенья.
    Щитом от чувства не прикрыться,
    Любовь срывает все забрала,
    А слабость - повод ли стыдиться,
    Когда любовь - всему начало?
    Она - вселенское прощенье,
    Ведь в жизни нет страшнее мУки,
    Чем от любимой отлученье,
    И горький плен немой разлуки...

    P. S. не могу отправить на главную страницу ни сообщение, ни картинку, ни видео, ни песенку-а оч хотелось бы)))...

  28. News about Britain February 2009 Valentine's Day, or Love is in the Air

    It’s that time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and chocolates. But Valentine’s Day is not only about public displays of affection: in recent years it has also become big business. In the UK alone, more than £20 million is spent on flowers, whilst in the United States over $1 billion is forked out on chocolates.Although Valentine’s Day has become a global industry with more than 80 million roses sold worldwide, the origins of the day are unclear and hidden in the mists of time. Nobody knows exactly who St Valentine was, although some historians suggest he was a Roman martyred in the third century AD by a Roman Emperor. It is said that the first recorded Valentine’s card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415. It is believed that he sought solace from his confinement by writing love poems to his wife.Valentine’s Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated in many countries around the world. However, the traditions often differ from place to place. In Japan, for example, it is customary for the woman to send chocolates to the man, whilst in Korea April 14th is known as ‘Black Day’ and is when the unfortunate men who received nothing on Valentine’s Day gather to eat noodles and commiserate with each other.Technological developments have also played their part in keeping Valentine’s Day relevant in the 21st century. Valentine’s e-cards have been all the rage in recent years. However, internet security experts urge web users to be wary as malicious hackers could use e-cards to spread viruses and spyware.Valentine’s cards can also be used for less than romantic purposes. Police in the UK city of Liverpool sent Valentine’s cards to criminals who failed to appear in court or have not paid fines. The cards contained the verse, “Roses are red, violets are blue, you’ve got a warrant, and we’d love to see you.” Who says romance is dead?

  35. Урок — конкурс английского языка в 4-м классе.

    Teacher: Dear children and guests. Do you like holidays? And I like them, too. What holidays do you know? (Учащиеся называют известные им праздники. Учитель фиксирует их на доске.) On the 14-th of February people celebrate – a beautiful holiday, which is loved by adults and children, St. Valentine’s Day. Do you know where this holiday came from?

    Pupils: ...

    Teacher: (Учитель рассказывают свою версию или на русском языке или на английском с опорой на картинки) Once lived a man. His name was Valentine. He was a good doctor. Many people loved him. He was clever and kind. Valentine was put in prison and was sentenced to death. At that time people celebrated New Year in the middle of February. Children and adults came to congrutalate and thank Valentine for help. The jailor (тюремный надзиратель ) had a blind daughter. And he decided to show it to Valentine. It turned out that he helped her. But she fell in love with him. So, soon Valentine was executed. The only thing he left was a love letter to his sweetheart.

    This is a sad story about love.

    On this day people byu small presents (flowers and chocolate) and send Valentine’s cards(heart with sentimental or funny messages).

    Today we’ll have an English contest - all the tasks will be connected with this holiday. We’ll play games, recite poems – so I hope that we’ll enjoy the holiday and have a good time.

    So I wish you good luck. Everyone will get a forteit for the best result in each competition, and at the end we’ll see who is the 1st, 2nd and 3d places.

    Let’s start.

    Деление на команды можно организовать разными способами. Один из них дети вытягивают один из трех символов (сердце, роза и голубь) и разбиваются на команды. Отсюда и названия команд.

    Contest 1

    Fill in the gaps and translate the poem.

    The rose is red, Роза – алая,

    The violets are blue. Фиалка – голубая.

    The honey is sweet. А ты сладкая как мед.

    And so are you.

    Contest 2

    Teacher: Today in the morning I ‘ve got a message, but I cannot read it. It is recoded.

    Help me to recode this secret message.(I heartly hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day)

    Командам раздаются закодированные сообщение. Дети должны расшифровать и перевести это послание. Та команда, которая правильно расшифрует и переведет близко к тексту получает бал.

    A Secret Message
    33=D 83=H 7=A
    77=L 79=N 69=T
    19=I 56=O 17=U
    51=S 8=E 26=R

    Teacher: So it’s time to finish the lesson. I want to tell the results of the competition.(All the winners get presents – sweet or chocolate medals).

    Some of you also have prepared Valentine’s cards. We decided to give additional presents for the best cards.

    Все мои попытки сделать из этого урока урок немецкого не увенчались успехом. :(, лексика истории о Валентине стала для 4 класса сложноватой, появились огромные слова типа der Gefängniswächter - тюремщик, der Armesünder - приговорённый к смертной казни и т.п. Во-вторых, переделав игровые задания на немецкий язык, задания становятся неотёсанными и теряют местами свой смысл. Так что кому надо, может взять этот материал на английском. На английском он намного лучше :)

    Good afternoon, dear pupils and guests. It's so lovely to meet you here at our Valentine's party.
    I hope that Valentine's Day will bring you lots of fun. We'll speak about the history of the holiday, listen to beautiful songs and poems and watch a wonderful performance about Cinderella and her Prince. I hope you will enjoy the party.

    Ученик 1:
    Let me call you sweetheart
    I am in love with you.
    Let me hear with you
    That you love me too

    Ученик 2:
    O my love is like a red red rose
    That newly sprung in June:
    O my love is like the melodie
    That's sweetly played in tune.

    As fair art though, my bonnie lass,
    So deep in love am I:
    And I will love thee still my dear,
    Till a' the seas gang dry.

    Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear
    And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
    And I will love thee still, my dear,
    While the sands of l life shall run

    And fare thee weel, my only love,
    And fare thee weel a while!
    And I will come again, my love,
    Tho'it were ten thousand mile! (R.Burns)

    Ученик 3:
    Любовь, как роза, роза красная,
    Цветёт в моём саду.
    Любовь моя - как песенка,
    С которой в путь иду.

    Сильнее красоты твоей
    Моя любовь одна.
    Она с тобой, пока моря
    Не высохнут до дна.
    Не высохнут моря, мой друг,
    Не рушится гранит
    Не остановится песок,
    А он, как жизнь, бежит

    Будь счастлива, моя любовь,
    Прощай и не грусти.
    Вернусь к тебе, хоть целый свет
    Пришлось бы мне пройти!
    (Перевод С. Маршака)

    Ученик 4:
    A legend says that a longtime ago in Rome there was a priest named Valentine. Claudius II who was Emperor at that time made a law that no one could become engaged or married. He was afraid that if men had sweethearts or wives, they wouldn't want to fight in wars. But Valentine felt sorry for young people who were in love. So he married them secretly. When Emperor found it he had Valentine put to death. Some people say this happened on February 14th.

    Ученик 5:
    Nowadays Valentine's Day is a special time when people tell each other that they love them and care about them. To celebrate the date, people send special cards with romantic messages. They give small gifts and tokens to their sweethearts. Many poems are heard on this day.

    Ученик 6:
    Your heart is like a treasure.
    A source of wealth to keep.
    Impossible to measure.
    Unfathomably deep.

    Stepmother: Oh, it's our Cinderella
    Cinderella: But I want to try it on!
    (Cinderella puts on the shoes)
    Stepsisters Oh, Cinderella, we beg your pardon.
    Cinderella: Never mind. I pardon you.
    Prince: I love you!

    Учитель:
    So, the prince has found his Cinderella. As for our party, it goes on.

  42. Have fun with your preschoolers this Valentines Day by having them play games and participate in activities that further develop each child’s skill level as well as embrace the meaning of love and giving for this famous February holiday.

    Valentines Day Reading and Literacy Activities

    Incorporate phonics and literacy into your Valentines lesson plan with these following ideas. Introduce some of these ideas in your Circle Time, or when it best fits your class routine.

    Valentines Day Emergent Reader

    Make up an emergent reader for your dry erase board, pocket chart or simply tape it to the wall. Follow the Valentine’s Day theme by covering emotions, using words your class is currently focusing on or creating new ones. Refer to the example picture below for some ideas on how to create your emergent reader

    You can also follow this activity up with a Poster Board Pocket Game listed in the above link. Have the words on the pockets with the pictures as the manipulatives, i.e. “Happy” would be the word on the pocket, and a happy faced heart would be the manipulative the child needs to place in the pocket.

    Heart Shaped Book

    Further the activity of emotions by letting each child create his or her own heart shaped book. For each page write a question about the emotions you’re talking about, i.e. “What makes me _____?” and encourage your child to draw or cutout pictures from a magazine. Visit the Valentines Day Craft article for more fun arts and crafts ideas.

    Emotion Hearts

    Introduce to your toddler, or enhance your preschoolers perception of emotions with this fun, adult supervised activity. Ahead of time, cut out four different colored hearts about four to five inches wide. At the table, have a few magazines available and scissors.

    Begin the activity by asking what they think each emotion means. After guiding the discussion, write an emotion on each heart. Say the letters and sound them out as you write the word. Then encourage the children to find pictures of people or children who look happy, sad, angry or sleepy.

    When all the pictures are cut out, let each child glue the faces onto the appropriate labeled heart. Hang the hearts somewhere visible and return to the topic of feelings and emotions daily throughout the month. For teachers, you can create a bulletin board theme around this activity!

    Valentines Day Math Games and Activities
    Candy Heart Graphing

    For this game you’ll need boxes of candy hearts and a chart on either poster board, or regular sized paper for individual use. Have the chart graphed by the different colors offered with the candies. Talk with your toddler or preschooler about the different colors, and ask them to sort them by same color.

    After the candies have been sorted, show them the graph and explain that you’re going to see which color has the most candy hearts. For older children, encourage them to begin counting and help as needed. For younger children, count with them. Graph each candy using a crayon or marker that resembles the color of that group. Discuss the results, and be sure to let them have a treat in the end!

    Heart Matching Magnet Fishing Game

    Using a heart pattern (from Preschool Express), choose a skill to focus on with your preschoolers. You can play this magnet fishing game by having the children match the hearts by size, pattern, numbers, colors, or letters. You can also incorporate these ideas with a File Folder Game.

    To add a touch of science with your math, try classroom cooking with these Valentines Day Kid Recipes.
