Presenter 1: It's snowing outside.

The holiday is coming..... (New Year) In every family, in every corner of the Earth, people are waiting for the arrival of the New Year. Today I invite you to go on a short trip to different countries and get acquainted with the traditions of celebrating the New Year. Every country has its own Santa Claus for the New Year, and he arrives in his own transport. Today we have to visit distant countries of the world and find out how people of different latitudes celebrate the New Year. According to the Eastern (Chinese) calendar, 2017 will pass under the sign of the Red Fire Rooster. We need to find a symbol for the coming year. So, let's go... Let's find out which direction we'll go. And for this I suggest playing “Cockfighting”. Pairs of participants are selected, and a number is attached to each person’s back using a pin, which indicates the country number. Everyone’s task is not to show their back to the opponent, but to try to see the number on the opponent’s back themselves.

So, the first winner showed us the way to the country...

1 student:

A tower rises above the country,
She rises above everyone else.
All tourists really like it.
The Eiffel Tower is a wonderful beauty.

Presenter 1: Guys, did you guess what country we flew to? (France).

Children perform the skit “Gifts from Pere Noel”.

2nd student:

New Year is celebrated in France
Pere Noel is expected to visit.
He's riding a donkey
He visits every house.

3rd student:

He has a bag of gifts
Delicious and very bright.
He leaves the donkey near the house,
And he flies into the chimney towards the kids.
Not alone, but with friend Pierre
With Pierre Foueter.

4 student:

If you were obedient,
I didn't say anything nasty
Didn't cheat, didn't fight
And he didn’t laugh at his friend.
Toys are waiting for you
Gingerbread cookies, crackers.

5th student:

If you're a bad boy -
The rods are waiting for you with interest.
If the girl is trashy -
We will only give you a scolding.

6th student:

We're not bad kids
Kind and mischievous.
We are looking forward to gifts
And in a good mood.

7th student:

I baked you a pie with the “secret”,
So that only one of you can
Become the bean king.
And we will fulfill his wish.

Presenter 1: In France, the rooster crows “kokoriko”. Let's call him. (The children shout “kokoriko”, but the cockerel does not appear.)

Presenter 2: However, the cockerel does not respond. Then we’ll hit the road again, a lot of interesting things await us. A new country appeared on the horizon.

Presenter 1:

The people live here are hospitable,
Bakes delicious pizza
Pasta here and there
And the country is called Italy.

Presenter 2: In Italy, the New Year begins on January 6th. All Italian children are looking forward to the good fairy Befanny. She flies in on a broom, opens the doors with a small key and, entering the house, fills children's stockings with gifts. For those who study poorly, the fairy leaves a pinch of ash and coal.

Presenter 1: IN New Year's Eve Italians throw old clothes out of apartment windows. Gifts are given to little Italians not only by the fairy Befanza, but also by the Italian Santa Claus. His name is Bobbo Natale.

Presenter 2: Now you will feel like Italians. You have to get rid of the “garbage” - the game “Sort out the peas”. For this we need plates, peas, millet (cereals are mixed).

Presenter 1: In Italy, the rooster crows “ciccirichi.” Let's call him. (The children shout “chikchirichi”, but the cockerel does not appear.)

Presenter 2: However, the cockerel does not respond. Goodbye Italy. We're going to England.

Presenter 1:

England meets us
And he invites you to visit.

Children perform the skit “New Year in England”. Participants: mom, Ellie, Big Ben.

Mom puts Ellie to bed:
“It’s almost midnight - we need to sleep.
And may you have sweet dreams.
Sleep, my joy, sleep.”
Only mom left the room.
Ellie turned on the light bulb:
“Santa will come to me today
And he will bring a gift.
I'll put a plate like this for a gift.
No, I'd rather take the big one.
And for a donkey, hay goes into a shoe.
I’ll put it next to it, like this.”

Everyone falls asleep. Big Ben comes out.

I am Big Ben
Chief English gentleman.
I'm quietly ringing the bell
I’m standing in a blanket until 12,
And in the last blows
I take off the blanket.
And I call so that the people
Celebrated this New Year.

Santa Claus comes and puts gifts on a plate for all the children.

Presenter 2: The children learned the song “Jingle Bells” in English class. Now they will fulfill it.

Presenter 1: New Year for the British is a desired and favorite holiday.

The custom in England is:

Celebrate the New Year with your family,
You wanted to be a guest,
There is one sure way -
When you enter the house, throw a piece
Black coal in the fireplace!

Presenter 2: The New Year in England is announced by the ringing of a bell (the famous bell of Big Ben). The British have a tradition of letting the old year out of the house. Before the bell rings, they open the back doors of houses, and then open the front doors to let in the New Year. New Year gifts in the English family circle, they are distributed according to the old tradition - by lot. A few days before January 1, musicians and singers take to the streets to perform songs.

Presenter 1: In England the rooster crows “cock-a-doodle-doo.” Let's call him. (The children shout “cock-a-doodle-doo,” but the cockerel does not appear.)

Presenter 2: The cockerel does not respond. And we go to Germany.

Presenter 1: In Germany, it is considered a lucky omen to meet a chimney sweep on New Year's Eve and get dirty with soot. And at 12 o’clock at night it is customary to “jump” into the New Year with a joyful cry: “Hop!” With the word “Gop!” It's customary to jump right into the New Year! New Year's gifts are brought by Vainachtsman (Christmas man), who comes to visit on the evening before Christmas along with the meek and sweet Christkind. Vainakhtsman is dressed in an inverted fur coat, belted with a chain, in his hand there is a rod for punishing the disobedient, as well as a bag of gifts. Christkind is dressed all in white, her face is covered with a white veil, and in her hands is a basket of apples, nuts and sweets.

Presenter 1: The children learned the song “Oh, Tannenbaum” during German lessons. They will perform it for you.

Presenter 1: In Germany, the cockerel crows “kikeriki”. Let's call him in German. (The children shout “kikeriki”, but the cockerel does not appear.)

Presenter 2: The cockerel does not appear. And we're going to Japan.

8th student:

Believe me, there is this:
If anyone with his own hand
He will draw what awaits -
Everything will be fulfilled by the New Year.
And where? Say it in a nutshell.
On the Japanese... (islands)!

Presenter 1: We're going to Japan. Japanese Santa Claus is called Segatsu-san - Mr. New Year. There the New Year is celebrated on January 1st. To keep out evil spirits, the Japanese hang bundles of straw at the entrance to their houses, which they believe brings good luck. As the New Year begins, the Japanese begin to laugh. They believe that laughter will bring them good luck in the coming year. Japanese children celebrate the New Year in new clothes.

Presenter 2: It is believed to bring health and good luck in the New Year. On New Year's Eve, they hide under their pillow a picture of a sailboat on which seven fairy-tale wizards are sailing - the seven patrons of happiness. Ice palaces and castles, huge snow sculptures of fairy-tale heroes decorate northern Japanese cities on New Year's Eve.

9th student:

In Japan there is a belief -
His centuries cannot be counted:
The clock will strike a hundred and eight times,
And all the shortcomings will go away.

10th student:

We can't count our vices
But the Japanese have six main ones:
greed and fierce anger,
stupidity and indecisiveness,
frivolity and human envy -
It's better to live without them.

11th student:

Each quality has 18 tones,
Here is a list of 108 words.
Japanese bells ring for them,
So that everyone's life is bright.

12th student:

Children demonstrate the gifts that the Japanese give for the New Year.

We'll all go visit in the morning
And we carry gifts with us.
Arrows - to protect the house.
It's a joy to rake.
Seven gods are sailing in a boat
They bring joy and good luck to the house.

13th student:

The Japanese are caring people.
And every New Year.
No one is forgotten
The symbol of the year is presented to everyone.

Presenter 1: In Japan, the rooster crows “ko-ke-kok-ko-o.” Let's call him in Japanese. (The children shout “ko-ke-kok-ko-o”, but the cockerel does not appear.)

Presenter 2: The cockerel does not respond.

On New Year's Eve they don't sweep snow there,
And the peaches are blooming magnificently!
Give us the answer quickly
The country is called that...(Vietnam)!

In Vietnam, New Year is called Tet. He is met between January 21 and February 19. The exact date of the holiday changes from year to year. The branches of a blossoming peach - a symbol of the New Year - should be in every home. Children eagerly wait for midnight, when they can start firing small homemade firecrackers.

Presenter 2:

Well, what is the umbrella for?
Neither a cloak nor a screen will save you.
They will throw water on you in... (Burma)!

Presenter 1: In Burma, Santa Claus is called Father Heat! The New Year in Burma begins on the first of April, on the hottest days. People shower each other with water for a whole week. The New Year's water festival is underway - Tinjan.

Presenter 2: New Year in Australia begins on the first of January. But just at this time it is so hot there that Father Frost and Snow Maiden deliver gifts in swimsuits.

Presenter 1: Did you enjoy our trip? It's time to return home. Otherwise we won't have time to celebrate our New Year.

Presenter 2: Here we are at home. Guess the riddle.

Tail with patterns,
Boots with spurs,
At night he sings,
Time is counting.

Presenter 1: Let's call the cockerel in Russian. So, let's celebrate the symbol of the new year. (Rooster runs out)

Rooster: Hello! Here I am!
Are my friends waiting for me?
May your home be full of happiness
The bird of the year has the year under its wing,
Let there be joy and comfort
And chickens don't eat money!

2017 will be a favorable period for the emergence of new plans and ideas, so not taking advantage of this would be a big mistake.

Start the New Year 2017 with sincere, beautiful congratulations and wishes that you address to your family, friends and relatives.

The Year of the Rooster is knocking on your door -
A beautiful, bright, important bird.
May the whole year be fabulously lucky,
And the Rooster will eat all the troubles.
I crow happiness for you,
Good luck, health overnight.
And a light flap of bright wings.

I will fill my life with goodness and peace.
Even though I don't fly high,
But I still inspire you.
We will celebrate the year with all the people
And let’s say together: “Happy New Year!”

I have another game for you.
I'll start, you continue
Answer in unison. (Yes or no)

Is Santa Claus a cheerful old man? - (Yes)
Do you like jokes and gags?
Knows songs and riddles?
Will he eat all your chocolates?
Will he light the children's Christmas tree?
Wearing shorts and a T-shirt?
Doesn't his soul age?
Will it warm us up outside?
Santa Claus - Brother Frost?
Is our birch good?
Is the New Year getting closer?
Is there a Snow Maiden in Paris?
Is Santa Claus bringing gifts?
He drives a foreign car
Wears a cane and a hat?
Sometimes he looks like his dad?

What do you know about the traditions of celebrating the New Year in our country? Children answer the question.

14th student:

Another wonderful year has passed,
In which there was singing and sadness.
And what didn’t fit in it,
Let everything happen in the new.

15th student:

Let all bad things sink into eternity,
Happy last breath of December!
And everything beautiful, alive,
Will come to you on the morning of January.

Presenter 1: In our country, we dance with friends around the Christmas tree. I invite you to a round dance.

Rooster: We propose to perform the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest,” but in a special way: replace all nouns in the song with the words “la-la.” Who is missing from our holiday?

(The children call Santa Claus. If the arrival of Santa Claus cannot be organized, then you can prepare a letter and a bag of gifts).

Father Frost:

Snowflakes are circling outside the window
Tangerines smell in a vase
There is a Christmas tree in the center - beautiful!
Everything sparkles from the fire!
The only thing missing is underneath
Gifts for you from me.
I walked to you for a long time, I tried
I made my way through the forest
And he carried a heavy bag
Who am I, children?

Father Frost.

Oh, I'm tired
I'll sit
I'll look at the kids
And please me
Would you like some friends?

(Guys' performances)

Father Frost: Well, thank you, kids, the holiday turned out to be bright.

Rooster: And now it’s time for the children to receive gifts.

Presenter 1: Outside, winter is the time of the shortest days and the longest nights. But we love this time of year. After all, it is in winter that the New Year comes to us and with it the coniferous joyful mood of happiness, change, and hope. We also had a unique opportunity to travel to different countries of the world and find out what traditions of celebrating the New Year exist at different latitudes of the globe.

Presenter 2: Dear friends, our holiday has come to an end. We hope that our journey was interesting and exciting for you. Happy New Year. We wish you a good mood, reliable friends and peaceful skies above your head.

(On the screen is an image of “New Year Celebration in Japan”)

Presenter: Look at the screen, please! Name this country? (Japan)

In Japan, New Year is celebrated on January 1st. The bells ring exactly 108 times on New Year's Eve. According to the Japanese, each of us has exactly 108 bad habits that negatively affect the life of every person. And the ringing of the bell on New Year's Eve cleanses and helps you become a better person. A resident of Japan does not celebrate his own birthday. On New Year's Eve, every Japanese, even those just born, celebrates the birthday common to all Japanese. With the last 108 stroke, the life years of every Japanese person increase by one year. As for children in Japan, they strongly believe in New Year's miracles, so on New Year's Eve they put a drawing under their pillow with what they dream about. They say that this way your wish will definitely come true. In houses, in a visible place, the Japanese install rice cakes, on top of which tangerines are placed, symbolizing happiness, health and longevity. On New Year's table There are rice dishes, which, according to the Japanese, have special powers. It is believed that rice brings prosperity to the family.

Today we will try to feel the atmosphere of New Year celebrations in Japan. I invite two families to the stage. You need to portray a Japanese family and taste the rice using special chopsticks. The winner is the family that eats the most rice and that best portrays the atmosphere of a Japanese family. You will need the following attributes for this: kimono, plates of rice and chopsticks.

(for students from grades 5 to 11.

Introduced to the Day of National Cultures)

Music is playing (the song “New Year’s” by the group “Disco Accident”)

Snow Maiden 1 and Snow Maiden 2 appear on the stage (preening).

Snow Maiden 1: Where are you dressing up?

Snow Maiden 2: How to where? New Years is soon. Let's go with Grandfather Frost to congratulate the children on the holiday and give gifts.

Snow Maiden 1: why did you decide that you would go to the holiday? We are both granddaughters of Father Frost, both Snow Maidens!

Snow Maiden 2: I'm younger. I have to go. Why do we need such junk like you at a holiday?

Snow Maiden 1: Better look at yourself, you’ll also send me a gift for the holiday! It would be better if there was snow.

Snow Maiden 2: Am I worse than snow? The snow will melt, but I will stay!

Snow Maiden 1: Yes, you can’t erase a gift like you, no matter how you draw it, you can’t turn it around with any bulldozer, you can’t ride it around on a crooked mare!

Snow Maiden 2: You know what, my eldest sister, Snow Maiden is a veteran! Don't turn up your nose. Grandfather Frost will come and he will judge us. Let him say who he wants to take to the holiday!

Snow Maiden 1: Let's call him!

(shouting together): Grandfather Frost, get up, it’s time,

Children are waiting for gifts!

(a sleepy Santa Claus appears with a bag of gifts behind his back).

Santa Claus: I slept almost the whole year, although there was a lot to do. It's time to go to work: go and congratulate them on the holiday, give gifts. As always, the New Year is sweeping across the world, and every time the Supreme Duma of the ancient convocation hands out tasks on where to go this year. I’ll tell you, my dear granddaughters, that this year I was given a difficult task, to congratulate... Why are you so gloomy, what happened, what happened?

Snow Maiden 1: Well, Grandfather, some here believe that they can make any holiday happy with their presence. To be, so to speak, an utter gift!

Santa Claus: Why? They have already given me gifts. Look, a whole bag! (puts the bag in a visible place).

Snow Maiden 2: The fact is, Grandfather, that I believe that the youngest, most blooming of us should go to the holiday with you.

Snow Maiden 1: And you don’t take my centuries-old experience and experience into account at all? Just imagine, you come, a new, unfamiliar face, the children won’t recognize you, they’ll be scared. But I am a completely different matter!

Santa Claus: Granddaughters, don't quarrel!

(Snow Maiden 1 slowly takes the bag with gifts)

Snow Maiden 2: Well, grandpa! It's a shame. I've been waiting a whole year whole month I prepared congratulations, dressed up...

Snow Maiden 1: I was on a diet all day...

Snow Maiden 2: And you spent the whole day doing makeup, covering up wrinkles...

Snow Maiden 1: It was I who covered up the wrinkles, it was me... Yes, I you...

(chases after her and tries to hit her with a bag. She runs away. As a result, Snow Maiden 1 hits Santa Claus on the head with the bag).

Snow Maiden 2: Oh! What have we done!

Santa Claus: Stop quarreling. In my opinion, something terribly irreparable happened. I'm afraid that no one will go to the holiday. And someone will be left without gifts this year.

Snow Maidens (together): Why?

Santa Claus: At my age, it is very reckless to make sudden movements in the head area. And you, my kind granddaughters, my dear granddaughters (he speaks maliciously), hit her, so to speak, with a blunt object - a bag. And now, now (almost crying) I forgot where I was supposed to go, where the Supreme Duma of the ancient convocation sent me for the holiday. Now everything is gone!

Snow Maidens (together): Horror!

Santa Claus: I know it’s terrible! There is nothing more terrible than a holiday that doesn't exist.

Snow Maiden 1: We have to do something!

Snow Maiden 2: What can we do now?

Snow Maiden 1: Calm, only calm. My life experience tells me that if you lose something, you need to look for it.

Snow Maiden 2: Well, you're a head! That's right, let's get ready to go! Let's go and find our holiday!

Santa Claus: I just can’t imagine which way to go! I forgot everything! I only remember that the place is so unusual, somehow exotic, not close, nearby, the name is so warm, warm, almost native.

Snow Maiden 2: If it’s warm and exotic, then it’s probably Africa!

Snow Maiden 1: What Africa! Distant and nearby, warm and exotic - it’s something like the Baltic states. Right?

Snow Maiden 2: Come on, this Baltic region. It’s better to go to Scotland, where men wear skirts, it’s much more exotic...

Santa Claus: Maybe let's go and have a look.

Scottish bagpipes sound, a young man in a kilt - a Scottish skirt - comes out.

Scotsman: Happy New Year, friends! New Year is a desired and favorite holiday for us. A few days before January 1, musicians and singers take to the streets performing folk songs. Throughout New Year's Eve, street vendors sell toys, whistles, squeakers, masks, and balloons. All family members gather by the fireplace, look at the fire, which symbolically burns away all the adversities of the old year, make wishes for the future, and when the clock hands approach twelve, the head of the family silently opens the door wide - while the clock strikes, the Old Year is believed to come out and New Year is included. Santa Claus - Father Frost - comes to every home, and children play with him. Now watch the Scottish folk dance reel. The name translates as "tornado". In Scotland, the reel is usually performed by two couples, but what can I say, it is better to see it once than to hear it a hundred times.

Santa Claus: The place is, of course, exotic, but somehow too much! And not that warm. Maybe look for something warmer.

(the song “For Four Seas” by the group “Brilliant” is played).

Santa Claus: Ugh, I'm tired, granddaughters!

Snow Maiden 1: Don’t worry, grandfather, we have already reached a very warm and exotic country.

Snow Maiden 2: There are palm trees and elephants. Look, people are so cheerful, smart, all in colorful sheets!

Santa Claus: Bah! Yes, this is India!

Girl in a sari: Hello, dear guests! New Year's Eve in India is celebrated not at midnight, but at sunrise. On this day it is forbidden to quarrel or get angry. It is believed that the whole year will turn out the way it began. You need to get up early, get yourself in order, slowly remember the past and think about the future. During the day, archery competitions are held, kites are flown and, of course, dancing is performed.

Santa Claus: My brain just started to melt from this heat. I think they couldn’t send me to such a noisy place, this is for young Santa Clauses. I have no idea where I had to go!

Snow Maiden 1: I think I know. If the place is calm, balanced, with strict rules, centuries-old traditions, then we go to the United Kingdom, to Great Britain.

Girl in formal clothes: In England, Father Frost is called Santa Claus. On New Year's days, theaters stage performances based on ancient stories for children. English fairy tales. Lord Disorder leads a cheerful carnival procession in which fairy-tale characters take part. In England, a bell announces the arrival of the New Year. Throughout New Year's Eve, street vendors sell toys, whistles, squeakers, masks, and balloons. In England, the custom arose of exchanging for the New Year greeting cards and, of course, sing funny songs.

Santa Claus: Oh, it’s good in the UK! And the porridge is delicious, just right for me, an old man. And how romantic it sounds: “Oatmeal, sir!”

Snow Maiden 1: How exotic this is! I have not tolerated this scumbag since childhood. That's the thing with all kinds of seafood: mussels, squid, crabs and sushi with them.

Snow Maiden 2: And pick at it with chopsticks.

Snow Maiden 1: Well, at least with chopsticks. But you know how interesting it is. After all, the main thing in eating is the process, the ceremony, as in Japan.

Santa Claus: Maybe we’ll really rush to Japan.

Japanese music is playing.

Presenter: Winter has come to the Japanese islands. Snowflakes began to swirl, covering the ground with a white fluffy carpet, and all ordinary Japanese began to expect the arrival of the long-awaited holiday - the New Year. On the eve of the holiday, the Japanese decorate their home. Pine branches and colored paper are hung on bamboo sticks.

Several people depict a house, two people represent Japanese people in kimonos who “decorate” the “house.”

First Japanese: Akutagawa, Kadamatsu! Kadamatsu!

Presenter (translates): Masha, let's decorate our house with pine - it's a symbol of longevity and strength!

Second Japanese: Agi, agi! Take it, take it, Yamamoto! Harakiri, samurai!

Presenter (translates): Of course, Vanya, come on! And we also need to decorate with bamboo, it will help us become hardy next year, add strength and help us resist the blows of fate.

Japanese (together): Ikebana, banzai!

Two guests enter. On skis, also dressed in a kimono.

Guests (together): Runesuke, yakuza! Kimono!

Presenter (translates): Hello, friends!

First Japanese: Takeshi Kitano! Grandfathers Moroki and Sneguraki!

Presenter (translates): Since everyone is ready for the start of the holiday, we need to call Father Frost and the Snow Maiden!

Japanese and guests (shouting together): Grandfathers Moroki and Sneguraki!

Enter Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. They are also in kimonos.

Grandfathers Moroki: Banzai, Pokemon!

Presenter (translates): Hello children! How long have I not seen you! And how well you decorated the house and prepared for the New Year!

Sneguraki: Sensei, ding!

Presenter (translates): It’s time to get the bell, each blow of which drives away one of the evils.

He takes out the bell. Every time she hits it, the host translates.

Presenter: Ring!

Snow Maiden 1: What a country! Not a country, but pure exoticism! Everything is so amazing and extraordinary!

Snow Maiden 2: What's the point, everyone wasn't expecting us there.

Santa Claus: You, granddaughters, do as you wish, but I’m already tired. It’s hard for me, an old man, to run around the world, looking for someone to congratulate on the holiday. There's nothing you can do, you'll have to return home with nothing.

Snow Maiden 1: So, this year someone will still be left without a holiday, congratulations, or a gift. But there's nothing you can do, you have to go home.

Snow Maiden 2: Or maybe we’ll stop by somewhere else on the way home? I know one country where they celebrate the New Year in a very unusual way.

Young man: Hello everyone from sunny Bulgaria! Those who celebrate the New Year in our country are given a rare opportunity to kiss Santa Claus himself. Seeing off old year, the lights are turned off in the houses. When the clock strikes midnight, everything is plunged into darkness. At these moments, many are trying to find Santa Claus in the dark and kiss him. Because, according to a comic belief, this portends special luck. As soon as the light comes on, festive table they put on a New Year's pie with a secret: in each piece of it there are small objects hidden: a nut (to crack a tough nut in the new year), a coin (you will win), a paper clip (you will meet a good friend), a foil ball (a brilliant idea will dawn on you), and If you come across a rose twig, there will be happiness in love. And today those who wished to see the cheerful “Dream Dance” will be able to fulfill their dreams.

Snow Maiden 1: Listen, for example, I know a riddle about one country, which it would be interesting for us to look into.

Everything that is worn to holes

Forks, spoons and glasses,

It flies down towards you in... (Santa Claus and Snow Maiden 2 guess in unison): Italy.

Snow Maiden 1: And here Italy is visible.

You can hear the sound of broken dishes, cracking, cutting, and crashing.

Santa Claus: What's going on? This is probably the beginning of an earthquake. (some object hits Santa Claus on the head. He is taken away)

Italian music sounds, an Italian woman comes out.

Italian: Good evening, Friends! Do not worry! Nothing bad happens. It's just Italians celebrating the New Year. On New Year's Eve, at the very last minute of the old year, everyone throws out broken dishes from their apartments, old clothes and even furniture. Following them, firecrackers, confetti, and sparklers fly. It is generally accepted that if you throw away an old item on New Year's Eve, you will buy a new one in the coming year. All Italian children eagerly await the sorceress Befana, who flies in at night on a broom and fills children's stockings, specially hung from the fireplace, with gifts through the chimney. And at the address Boulevard Europe, no. 175, Rome, Italy, lives the Italian Santa Claus, whose name is Babbo Natale. And he sent you a fiery dance as a gift.

Santa Claus: (enters, rubbing his bruised head) Oh, Mama Mia, Santa Lucia, presto contabele, legato, stocatto!

Snow Maiden 1: Grandfather, what are you talking about? Italian language You know?

Santa Claus: Si, white donna!

Snow Maiden 2: Grandfather, do you still remember Russian?

Santa Claus: Oh, oh-oh-oh! It seems that the second blow to my poor head did not go unnoticed. (Joyfully) I seem to remember who needs to be congratulated, where to go!

Snow Maidens (in unison): It can’t be!

Grandfather Frost: the place is so unusual, exotic, far away and nearby, the name is so warm, warm, almost native - this is the Furmanovskaya Secondary School in Russia.

Snow Maiden 1: Well, who will you take with you to the holiday: her or me?

Santa Claus: This is a common cause! And then, we live together, and we are also responsible for everything we do together.

Snow Maiden 1: Okay Grandfather, we agree.

Snow Maiden 2: We will not let you down, because we are one family!

Santa Claus: My dear guys! I congratulate you on the New Year, in which one of you will graduate from 9th grade and, I hope, will successfully enter a technical school.

Santa Claus: In order for this dream of yours to come true, you must be healthy, hardworking and resilient!

Snow Maidens (in chorus): We wish it to come true!

Santa Claus: Well, let those who are still studying, also back up their successes with excellent grades and a good mood!

Snow Maidens (in chorus): We wish it to come true!

Santa Claus: Well done, granddaughters! The game is played on equal terms. I give both of you one last common task: let each of you prepare New Year's advice for viewers on behalf of different countries. Go, get ready, and the guys and I will stand together in a round dance, let the New Year be joyful for everyone! This is not forbidden by any custom! Let's sing the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.”

The Snow Maidens come out.

Snow Maiden 1: Dear viewers, we are all expecting only the best in the New Year, we dream only of happiness!

Snow Maiden 2: For many centuries, people have always dreamed of happiness and believed in it. And for it to come to you, try to follow these tips that came to us from different countries of the world.

Snow Maiden 1: So that all the troubles remain in the old year, scare them away on New Year's Eve with noise, screams and knocking! This is what Panamanian custom dictates.

Snow Maiden 2: And then break old pottery in your house - this is what they do in Iran.

Snow Maiden 1: Celebrate the New Year early in the morning on the arable land, paving the first furrow, as the custom of Afghanistan requires.

Snow Maiden 2: Don’t eat poultry on New Year’s Eve. The Hungarians say: “The bird will fly away, and your happiness may fly away with it!”

Snow Maiden 1: It’s better to eat garlic with honey, as they do for New Year in Finland.

Snow Maiden 2: And my custom came from Bulgaria. There, on New Year's Eve, all over the country the lights turn off for three minutes and then the time for New Year's kisses begins!

Santa Claus: Happy New Year, friends!

Snow Maiden 1: Dear friends, we invite you to the New Year's disco.

Snow Maiden 2: Have fun and dance with us! Meet me downstairs.

And I will help you with this. (reads the information sheet)

You know, dear friends, that until 1700 the New Year was not celebrated in Russia. On December 15, 1699, Peter I issued a decree that on January 1, 1700, a new chronology in Rus' begins, on this day you need to fire cannons, burn resin, decorate the house with spruce and fir branches, and also “have fun with dancing, music and games." For Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians, the traditional New Year's dish was sweet porridge-kutya and pancakes. Porridge was cooked from whole grains and from several types of cereals. It was believed that there would be a hearty meal for the New Year, which meant that the house would have a full bowl all year. In Rus' at the beginning of the century, domestic animals were baked from dough for the New Year: horses, cows, bulls. And when they came to the house to carol, the guests were presented with these figures, various sweets, and nuts. They also believed that the New Year should be celebrated in a new dress and shoes - then wear new clothes all year. Usually, before the New Year, all debts were repaid, all insults were forgiven, those who were in a quarrel were obliged to make peace, so they asked each other for forgiveness. On this day in Rus' they were waiting for Father Frost and Snow Maiden

From now on and forever, this holiday was enshrined in the Russian calendar.

And now the game with the audience.
