PROCESS OF EVENT:

Hello dear guys! Today we have gathered for an unusual holiday. He will slightly open the door for us to the most interesting world of Russian history. Every cultured person must necessarily know the past of the country in which he lives. And the epigraph to our event will be the words of Vadim Shafran:

Who knows what holidays we celebrated recently?
Do you think these holidays have been celebrated since ancient times or are they new holidays? Of all the holidays listed, New Year is the youngest - it was introduced by Peter 1 (slide). ... Have you ever wondered why the holiday "New Year" is so called? And what does the word "year" mean? A year is the time during which the earth makes a complete revolution around the sun. Each year is not like all the others, but in any year according to the Orthodox calendar there is Christmastide. This is the time from the Nativity of Christ (January 7) to the Epiphany of the Lord (January 19).
CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS is a great Christian holiday established to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Celebrated on the night of January 6-7 (slide)
Baptism of the Lord Christian holiday dedicated to the remembrance of the Baptism of Jesus Christ in the waters of the Jordan. Celebrated on January 19. (slide)

How do believers prepare for Christmas?

40 days of fasting, which begins on November 28. Fish was allowed except on Wednesdays and Fridays. This restriction is not so much for the stomach as for the tongue, eyes and ears. Do not say bad things about people, do not offend anyone, do not take offense at anyone. Christmas Eve was called Christmas Eve.
SOCHELNIK (eve, eve of the holiday). This word comes from the name of ordinary porridge. However, it was not ordinary, but festive (colivo was served on the table on Christmas Eve - a porridge made of wheat with honey, lean porridge with fruits, vegetables or berries. In some regions of Russia, colivo was called sochi - hence the name of the holiday - Christmas Eve).

They did not eat that day until the first star appeared in the sky. “You can't go to the first star,” they said to the children, and those eyes did not take their eyes off the sky, waiting for its appearance. (Slide) First, prayer was performed, then a meal was held: calmly, respectfully. On January 7, everyone went to church services, only then they had fun, celebrated, caroling.
Did you pay special attention to decorating the Christmas tree? There is a star on top of his head, because the life of Jesus began with the appearance of a star. There is a cross at the base, since the life on earth ended on the cross. There are 33 candles on the tree - the number of years Jesus lived on earth. (Slide)

Carols, walking with a star, dressing up - here paganism and Christianity coexisted peacefully.

(slide) Christmastide was the name of winter folk holidays in honor of the ancient Slavic god of light and warmth Svyatovit. On these holidays, winter turns to summer, a new sun is born - daylight hours begin to increase. It was believed that at this time the foundation of the next year was being laid, and therefore in Russia it was customary to spend Christmastide not just fun, but in love and harmony with loved ones. (slide) The Russian family never lives in such expanse as on Christmastide. Here all ages take part in the fun, especially the female sex. Young people during games choose their betrothed; old people talk about the old days; old women confirm by experience the reliability of fortune-telling. Carols, Christmastide, (games, songs, gatherings, fortune-telling) - were held three times: on Christmas Day on January 7, on New Year's Eve and on the eve of Epiphany. The most fun on Christmastide was caroling or carols. And they began on Christmas Eve, that is, on the night of December 24 to 25, and according to the new style from January 6 to January 7.

Do you remember the tradition of carols? Children usually carolled during the day, and adults in the evening. They disguised themselves as gypsies, witches, kikimor, and domestic animals - this was called "ryazhenie". They took a “goat” home. It was a fun game. The goat is a symbol of vitality and she had to bring this strength to the owner of the hut and his land, his field, so that bread would grow better. (slide) The goat was portrayed by one of the guys: they put on a sheepskin coat turned out with fur, smeared their face with soot, put on a special hat on their heads, and attached straw horns. The guy sat astride an arc - this is how he was taken from the hut to the hut. At the same time, the goat danced, and her retinue sang a song. Favorite characters were Bear, Gypsy and Goat

SCENE (The Russian folk melody "Lady" sounds. The Gypsy enters and leads the Bear. The Bear walks and applauds, they stop, the Bear bows to three sides).

Gypsy. Happy holiday, good people, congratulations! .. I did not come to you alone, but with Mikhail Ivanovich himself. He is not just a bear, but a scientist: he will do whatever you want, he will amuse all the guests.

Come on, bear Ivanitch,
Boyarych comes from,
Walk, well, walk,
Talk - talk
Do not bend in an arc
Like a tight bag.
Turn around, turn around
Show yourself to the good people.
Sweat honest people
Dance, dear!

Bear (shakes his head negatively and growls).

Gypsy. What is it? We have forgotten about music, Mikhail Ivanovich cannot dance without music. Let's call the drummer! Yes, to call with words not simple, and not at all words, but a song, and the song will be like this (to the tune of a ditty):

“Come on, Misha, dance,
Your legs are good!
Tili-tili-tili-bom,
The goat house caught fire.
The goat jumped out
Eyes bulging
The cockroach chopped wood,
I drove my feet in the mud. "

(Claping their hands, the children sing with the Gypsy. They sing 2 times, and on the third time, during the performance of the words “The goat house is on fire”, a KOZA in a sundress - “drummer” pops up. A Russian folk dance melody (at the choice of the music director) , The goat is drumming, the Bear is dancing.)

The bear and the Goat were amused, they were surprised at each other.
Since that time, we made friends, learned music and dance together:
Send to live in the service of the owner,
Play, dance and amuse the people.

(Dance of the Bear and the Goat to the Russian folk melody "Barynya", and Gypsy comments):

Come on, Misha, show how granny baked pancakes and got mad at the holiday,
Her head is aching!
Goat, how do red girls itch, whitewash, blush, look in the mirror, dress up at the disco?
Misha, show how the boys are soaring in the bathhouse, lying on the shelf and broom - how ... how ... Oh, good! (The bear falls over on its back, and, lying on its back, dangles its legs, waves its front paws. The goat butts it)
Cheer up, Mikhail Ivanovich, bow down, thank you for the honor, for the sight, but for the treat, for the labors. (The bear grabs the hat from the Gypsy's head and, holding it in its front paws, goes to collect food from the guests)

Leading (for children). Did you like our artists? Then applaud!

(slide) Among the mummers was a "mehonoska" - a man who carried a bag for treats. Carollers walked around the village from house to house, sang carols, special magnificient songs called “carols” after their chorus, they were also attributed magical properties (as you wish, it will come true), and the hosts treated guests with sweets, pies, rolls and “roes "- with gingerbread, they brought with them various country delicacies - sausages, butter, meat, sometimes a little money. For the inhospitable owners, the mummers sang threatening carols, but no one was afraid of them, because they knew that these were carols - jokes.

All took part in these rituals. Children threw grains on the floor, grains flew to the owners of the hut, who kindly brushed them off and thanked the children for their good wishes.

Apart from carols, carol-keepers also sang songs that glorified the infant Christ (“christianity”, “racei”, “tropari”, etc.). According to the Gospel legend, the star with which they walked around the courtyards (the pre-Christian symbol of the sun) (slide) was interpreted as the Star of Bethlehem, which appeared in the firmament at the time of the birth of Christ.

We walked around the courtyards until they nakoladyat a lot. What do they do after Christmas carols?

They go to the house, which they bought in advance for evenings and get-togethers. But Christmas-time gatherings are special. They did not take work for them, but came to relax and have fun. And the main thing is to look after the groom or the bride (slide). The hostess is served two money: one for kerosene, so that she does not regret, she burns, the other for silence, so that gossip does not go around the village. They go into the house, pour everything on the table, sit on the benches, hold hands, make solaris (table in the center). Now the food is cleaned, you can eat it. Then there are games, round dances. There was always a presenter at the evenings. Most often she was the most resourceful, cheerful girl. She received guests, ordered when what to do: tell fairy tales, sing songs, drive square dance, fortune-telling, just play. When all the guests were assembled, the hostess suggested starting the game. Times have changed, but why don't we arrange gatherings with games, fortune-telling?

Games are held with the guys from the audience

Game 1. "Braid the braid" (6 people) (6 long ribbons are tied to the top of the high pole. 2 teams of three compete. Each person from the team takes one ribbon in his hand, you cannot let it out of your hand. The task of the team is to braid from their ribbons a long beautiful braid).

Game 2. "Ring" (2 people) (Each participant is given 5 rings with a diameter of 15 cm. You need to throw a ring on the peg. The winner is the one who throws more rings).

Game 3 "I'll tie a handkerchief to Lyubushka" (6 people)
Who is the fastest without laughing
Tie his ball with a handkerchief,
One as a reward for success
Take it with you!

For the game "I'll tie a handkerchief to Lyubushka" I ask you to stand in 2 columns. In my opinion, the first ones run to the balls, tie a handkerchief to one of them, return and stand at the end of the column. The winner is the team that finishes the relay earlier.

At the gatherings, they liked to make riddles (slide), funny riddles with a trick:

What food is not food without other food? (Salt)

How can you carry water in the sieve? (Frozen)

What is the riddle about - a nose and a heel, a pipe on the head, walking all your life? (Felt boots)

What kind of fruit lives before winter? (Rowan)

What musical instrument can you sip on cabbage soup? (Spoons) Samsun paved the bridge
No hammer, no ax.
Without a hatchet. (Freezing).

Will lie all winter
In the spring he will run away into the river. (Snow)
The living beats the dead, the dead roars at the top? (Bell.
There are 100 fires kept in a small barn. /Matches/

Grandma is gray-white, in winter everyone is sweet,
And as summer comes, they forget about the grandmother. /Bake./

Big sunflower in the sky, it blooms for many years,
It blooms in winter and summer, but there are still no seeds. /The sun./

(slide) On New Year's Eve, January 13, they sit at home, the table is rich, beautiful, the hostess changes clothes 7 times a day to please the brownie, and he would help with the household.

From 13 to 19 January fortune-telling. (Slide) When fortune-telling, the crosses and belts are removed. "To be unbelted means to open up to evil spirits." Why did the girls, the owner, the mistress guess? The girls wanted to know who they would marry. The hostess, the owner tried to find out about the harvest, cattle and, in general, what the year would be. There were a great many fortune-telling. The tradition of guessing came from the very depths of centuries, when people in Russia believed not in Jesus Christ, but in the gods of the Sun, Wind, and Earth. Fortune-telling is a dangerous game, there is always a risk of meeting some evil spirits. The sun is weak - a person is open to evil spirits. But on Christmastide the risk is much less - "Christ was born, and all the evil spirits set his tail between his legs, spinning to no avail, cannot harm ..."

(slide) During Christmas time, there are "holy evenings" (January 7-13) - for funny, funny fortune-telling. And "scary evenings" (January 14-19) for dangerous risky fortune-telling. The most faithful are fortune-telling on Vasilyev's evening - the eve of January 14, that is, on the Old New Year.
We went to steal firewood from a neighbor: how many branches are in the logs - so many children will be born, if there is an even number of logs, then this year she will marry.
On holy evenings, they went to the river to the ice hole to throw snowballs, wondering what kind of father-in-law, mother-in-law would be. They will make a snowball and throw it into the hole in the water: if it floats quietly, then a good father-in-law, mother-in-law, if she starts making noise, starts blowing bubbles, then they will be grumpy, angry.
We went to the barn to catch sheep. What color the sheep will be so narrowed.
There were many divinations, they took place in the house and on the street, outside the outskirts and in the bathhouse.
They listened under the windows - they laugh in the house, or they swear, from where the dog barks, from there the groom will be.
In the evening, on Epiphany Christmas Eve, they wash dirty linen on the street. They listen: where, in which church the bells will be struck - there they will get married.
The stakes in the fence are counted: an odd number - a wish will not come true.
Rings were thrown into a saucer with cereals. After mixing, they get: gold - to marry a rich man; silver - for a simple guy; with a pebble - for the master.
It was very interesting, but a little creepy.
Fortune telling with a mirror was considered one of the most terrible, since it must be carried out in a remote village in an old bathhouse. (slide). The fortuneteller must be alone at night on the "terrible" Christmas days. You have to close yourself in the bathhouse, sit in front of the mirror by the heater on a wooden bench. On both sides of the mirror there should be two lighted candles, necessarily consecrated in the church. Between the fortuneteller and the mirror, install another mirror "facing" the first. Thus, the fortuneteller sees in the mirrors a whole gallery of reflected mirrors. At midnight, it is necessary to invoke mentally all the forces of earth, fire, water and sky and ask them to show the future betrothed. It is necessary to observe very carefully so as not to miss the moment of the appearance of the figure. After fortune-telling, which can last from an hour to three, be sure to read a prayer and thank the higher powers. Wash your face and hands with spring water, dry yourself with a new towel, put on clean, preferably new clothes and go into the house. Do not talk to anyone and go to bed.

There are also rules that must be followed: They usually guess in the evening, when it gets dark. a noisy feast is undesirable, because concentration and attention are required. For Epiphany (on the night of January 18-19 - the third Christmas Eve), evenings were held, which were usually called terrible evenings. The days were short, the nights were long, the evenings dragged on endlessly. A blizzard howled outside the windows, frost crackled; it was dark in the hut; after supper, for the sake of saving torches and candles, the lights were extinguished and sat, almost not seeing each other. All this excited the imagination of people, especially children, caused vague images, there was a desire to scare each other with all sorts of fables. But no one was particularly afraid: they knew that all this was fiction, fairy tales. Therefore, the evenings were called scary, not scary. January 19 is the last day of fortune-telling, after which there was a lull until the day of Ivan Kupala, celebrated on the day of the summer solstice. ...

Fortune telling with the guys

In my box there are magic balls, magic and fortune-telling. Now we will find out who what awaits in the new year.

(The box contains colored foil balls, inside of which there are objects for comic divination: a heart - love, a ring - to be a wedding, a key - a housewarming, a button - a new thing in clothes, a wheel - buy or win a car, a geographical map - a trip, a flower - to be beautiful, candy is a sweet life, a penny is for money.

Everyone make a wish for yourself. Then pull the bell rope over the floor. Come to the rope. The girls will blindfold you with a handkerchief. And if you crawl under a rope with a bell, do not touch it, and the bell does not ring, then your cherished wish will come true.

Each guest of the festive gatherings can go out and try their luck. Take 7 glasses, put them on a tray and fill them with different ingredients:

The evening before Epiphany (January 18) was the last time for Christmas divination. Preparations began for the great Christian holiday - Epiphany. Expelling evil spirits from houses, crosses were put on all things in the house, especially on windows and doors. The Bible tells how Jesus Christ, upon reaching the age of 30, was baptized in the Jordan River, (slide), therefore, the basis of this holiday is made up of two great blessings of water. One is held on the eve of the holiday in the temple, and the other on the very holiday in the open air on rivers, ponds, wells. All reservoirs on this day are called Jordan. In Jordan, an ice-hole was made in the form of a cross, which was prepared in advance. On the day of the holiday, they made a procession to the Jordan. After the moleben, they took water into vessels, sanctified and carried it into the house. Such water was stored for a long time and had healing properties, it could heal adults and children .. Right on the river they washed themselves with this water and even bathed (slide) to wash away sins and diseases. Baptism ended Christmas and Yuletide. The day was good both for the baptism of infants and for the conclusion of a marriage contract for “handing in arms”.

Our ancestors had a tradition: on Christmastide to "burn" all their troubles. And now I will light a candle, and you, looking at its fire, mentally remember: whom you offended, deceived, to whom you said a bad word. And let all your troubles burn on this fire.

Christmastide: scenario of the holiday.

About myself: I have been working at school for 22 happy years, of which 15 years according to the developmental system Zankova L.V. One of the wise people said: "To teach, you must be able to yourself, in order to be believed, you must believe yourself, in order to be followed, you must go ahead." So I, opening the world to children, do not stop developing with them. Over the years I have learned to photograph, create presentations, work a little in Photoshop, but I know that I still have a lot to learn! I really love my students and my work!

Explanatory note

One of the educational tasks of the school is to help the little person learn the centuries-old experience of human, spiritual and moral communication between people. In elementary school, for the normal development of the child, it is necessary to preserve the playful form of teaching and upbringing of schoolchildren. This work is multifaceted.
Every year, at our methodological association of primary school teachers, we choose the most interesting areas of educational work. For the parallel of 2 grades, one of the memorable events is the Multi-Genre Festival "Russian Folk Traditions", which we hold in February. We begin to prepare ourselves immediately after the New Year holidays. Each 2nd class chooses its own theme, composes its own script, prepares sets, costumes, etc.
It fell to us to represent the traditional winter holidays, from which we chose the most mysterious time - Christmastide.
The class was divided into interest groups, they began to collect material for the holidays, pictures, and write down fortune-telling. When there was enough material, they sat down to compose the script, almost simultaneously a group of artists emerged. During the discussions, the children had to work with a variety of information, highlight the main thing, correctly formulate their thoughts, answer the questions of classmates, participate in dialogues, discussions. And during rehearsals, they understood that somewhere the text needed to be redone, somewhere to stand differently, etc. Parents helped with the costumes. And this is what happened.

2nd presenter: DIVINATION.
Fortune-telling was the most interesting on Christmastide. This is a very exciting process, but mysterious and dangerous. It was possible to guess at any time, but the most faithful was the fascination from January 7 to 19. Girls and boys wondered, wishing to know their fate: whether the groom would be reliable and handsome, whether the bride would be beautiful and handsome.

Stage(carollers and daughters participate) During fortune-telling, a devil constantly runs by.
1. In Russia, girls let out a chicken. Which of the girls will be the first to catch - will get married this year.
2. Another fortune-telling: they took a glass of water, put a gold ring there, and looked. What is presented will happen.
The guests take turns taking out the fortune-telling objects from the bag:
The tape is a long road
A sliver - for good health
Mirror - to beauty
Button - happiness in the family
Candy - for a sweet life
Bagel - to wealth
Feather - promotion.
Dog - to a friend
They run out in turn (backstage). They line up there, with the words "this water ..." they come out in turn, squat three times (the audience sees the "hole" made of fabric) and line up for the final part behind the presenters

1st presenter: Baptism. January 19. It is believed that on the night of Epiphany, water is consecrated in all springs. Old people say: "Baptism is such a great holiday that a willow tree can even blossom on this day." It was this water that was supposed to wash away sin (and fortune-telling has always been considered associated with evil spirits). After baptism in the ice-hole it was impossible to wash, rinse clothes for another week.

2nd presenter: From century to century, the old winter ceremonial holidays of Mother Russia will be passed on to our children and grandchildren: New Year, St. Basil's Day, Epiphany and Christmas. These are the most magical days of the year.

1st presenter: They say that these days, whatever you wish,
All that hour will happen, all that hour will come true.

Children leave the hall to the melody of a Russian folk song.

Explanation.

Before the holiday, you should talk with your children about the peculiarities of the day of Basil the Great in Russia. According to the old style, Vasilyev's day fell on January 1 (January 14 according to the new style), therefore, Santa Claus was often called Vasilyevich. If the first day of the year is cheerful (happy), then the year will be like that, the people believed. On New Year's Eve, the patron saint of pigs, Saint Basil, was celebrated, a pork head was cooked and taken apart. The hostesses fried, boiled, baked as much of any food as possible: the mummers will come

You need to sit them at the table, feed them to their fill, give them something to drink, and wrap them up with them whatever they wish. Guests at the festival were sprinkled with grain (generosity), wishing at the same time: "Ogre, God, every living in the bins for the whole baptized world."

To ensure the well-being of the coming year, according to tradition, he should have arranged a joyful, welcoming meeting. In some villages, for example, before midnight, old and young people gathered in a hut. One of the guys or young men dressed up as an old man, put on old, torn clothes, the other

Usually a teenager or boy wore a red shirt, a white hat with tassels specially prepared for this occasion. "Old man"

Outgoing year

He sat on a chair in the middle of the hut. Exactly at midnight, a boy happily ran into the hut

New Year, pushed his predecessor off the chair and sat down in his place. "Old Year" was pushed out of the hut with general shouts and ridicule. Everyone congratulated each other on the New Year and wished everyone health and well-being:

Happy New Year!

With all the family!

So that you are healthy

We lived many summers!

Children, dancing, shouted:

New year has come

Old hijacked,

He showed himself!

Walk, people,

Meet the sun

Drive the frost away!

Neighbors, relatives, children went from house to house disguised as "sowers", threw a handful of grain into the red corner and sang, shouting:

I sow, I sow,

Happy New Year!

With cattle, with a belly,

With little kids

With youngsters!

How many branches are there on the bush,

So you would have children!

Happy New Year, host with hostess!

There were other, similar sentences:

I sow, I sow,

Happy New Year!

For New Year, for new happiness

Be ugly, wheat,

Peas, lentils!

With heaps,

On the table

Pies.

Happy New Year with a new happiness,

Master, hostess!

Since Vasily

The patron saint of pigs, a pig shed, as the people said, one can offer children riddles, proverbs about a pig.

Nothing hurts, but everything groans.

He walks on the ground, does not see the sky.

Crochet tail, snout nose.

If there were a pig, there would be a bristle.

Goose is not a pig's comrade.

The pig will find dirt.

Pig white-nosed, blunt-nosed,

I dug half of the yard with a snout.

On New Year's, as well as on Christmas, the girls wondered, wanting to know their fate: whether the betrothed is far, close, whether he will be poor or rich, whether they will get married this year or not at all. They often sang "sub-dish" songs. Rings, brooches, and other jewelry were put into the dish, they closed it and, while singing, took out one object at a time. The owner of the item learned from the song about her future.

The mouse squeaks, the loaf drags,

And he’ll also beep, and he’ll bring another one.

Yes, to whom we sang, that is good,

To whom it is necessary, that will come true.

The kitty lies in the small stove,

Oh, Lyuli!

Covered with kittens.

And whose ring, that is the song.

To whom it is necessary, that will cope.

The rich matchmakers are coming.

One matchmaker in bast shoes,

And the other is in boots.

To whom we sing, to that with good,

Who will come true, will not pass.

This, mother, torment,

Pieki pies.

There will be guests to you

Grooms to me.

To whom we sang, to that and good,

It will come true soon, it will not pass.

The cat is walking along the bench,

Leads the kitty and the sweetheart.

Oh, to whom we sing, oh, that is good.

The girls also wondered with the cockerel. Various items were laid out on the floor: bread

To a well-fed and rich life; salt

The husband will be mischievous and angry; mirror

The dandy husband; coal

For a long girlhood; water in a saucer

The husband will drink; coins

To wealth. The girls agreed on who they would guess, lowered the rooster and watched which subject he would go to

Such is fate.

You could find out your future by throwing a shoe or felt boot outside the gate of the hut,

Which way the sock

From there the groom will also come. And the name of the betrothed

The name of the first guy on the street.

    Event progress

    The teacher's story about the history of the craft of making Christmas gingerbread, which is closely related to the celebration of Christmastide in Russia.

    From 7 to 19 January - the period of celebration of the winter Christmastide in the traditional folk and Orthodox calendar from Christmas to Epiphany. This time in Russia is noted as one of the most cheerful, joyful and noisy. In the villages, villages and cities, carollers walked around the courtyards with New Year's congratulatory carols songs, received treats for the song - pies, pancakes, gingerbread. To ensure prosperity and fertility in the coming year, according to tradition, the owners should arrange a joyful, welcoming meeting. All congratulated each other on the New Year in a special way - songs, wishes to everyone health and wellness. Neighbors, relatives, children went from house to house disguised as sowers, threw a handful of grain into the red corner and sang:

    I sow, I sow,

    Happy New Year,

    With cattle, with a belly,

    With little kids!

    From the first day of Christmas, the "Christos" walked around the courtyards with an elegantly decorated star on a large pole and sang Christmas troparion or congratulatory songs, for which they also received gifts in the form of bread, which ensured fertility in the coming year.

    For two weeks, Christmas games did not stop, where young people (children separately) arranged round dances, dances, games. People in masks, in special clothes, who were called "mummers", always appeared at Christmas evenings. The favorite characters of the mummers were a bear, a goat and a horse - symbols of fertility and prosperity. The mummers staged impromptu scenes from life, they made everyone laugh and hooligans. Wandering actors - puppeteers also came to the houses, who staged nativity scenes: "Adoration of Christ the Child", "Death of King Herod".

    Girls during Christmas time, especially on the last evenings before Epiphany, made plans for grooms, for a wedding, sang sub-dish songs:

    To whom we sing - to the one with good,

    Who will come true - will not pass.

    The traditional, integral part of the Christmastide period was ceremonial cuisine, making Christmas gingerbread, roe, and cows.

    In the Arkhangelsk region, it was customary to bake gingerbread cookies, which were called "kozuli". The most ancient Kholmogory and Mezen roes are made of black dough, sometimes colored white.

    The Kholmogorskys resemble a deer in appearance. A figurine of a deer is molded from the dough, on the head there is a bush of branched horns, on the horns there are apples, on the apples there are birds made of white dough. The size of such a deer could be from 5-6 vershoks (vershok - 4.4 cm). Smaller goats are made without apples on their horns, but only with birds. Roe deer and less are baked - in one inch, and they look like figurines of cows, horses (sometimes with a rider), almost like figurines from the Stone Age.

    Mezen roe deer are flat. Roll out the dough with a long tape half a pencil thick and fold as intended.

    Arkhangelsk goats are baked from gingerbread dough, cut with iron shapes (silhouettes) and decorated with colored glaze. Metallic forms were kept in families for a long time, passed from one generation to another. These gingerbread cookies are about 200 years old. The size of these roe was from 1.5 to 10-12 vershoks, and the cost - from one kopeck to a ruble, sometimes up to 10 rubles.

    Roes filled the market before Christmas. A huge number of them were sent to Russia and abroad.

    The most ancient forms of gingerbread are a star, an angel, a shepherd, a basket with gifts, birds, animals close to humans, a tree, a deer with a sleigh. Later - Amazons, a cab, a dog with a pipe, a cat, a steamboat, a steam locomotive, a cyclist.

    Researchers of folk art find a connection between flour figurines and the New Year's cult sacrifice. The most ancient were the images of a horse, a bird, and a deer. The horse is a symbol of the sun, the heavenly deer is the personification of the emerging life, in in this case the birth of the sun, which turns from winter to summer.

    Now this craft exists as a homemade craft: they bake gingerbread according to custom on Christmas Eve as a gift and delicacy for loved ones.

    Today you will learn only a part of the Christmas-tree action - the rite of caroling, the rite of the courtyards with "sowing". We will make Christmas goats from dough, we will start Christmas round dances, dances and games. So, let's start our holiday.

    (Children, dressed in Russian folk costumes, sit down and get ready.)

    Leading: Happy New Years!

    (They perform a Christmas congratulatory song.)

    As on a river, on the Jordan,

    Generous evening, good evening,

    Good people, for a holy evening,

    To your health.

    Mother Mary was wearing soap,

    Generous evening, good evening,

    Good people, for a holy evening,

    To your health.

    After washing, hung up the robe

    On viburnum, on raspberries.

    Yes, two angels flew

    They took a robe on their wings,

    They carried the robe to the skies,

    All heaven has dissolved

    All the saints bowed down.

    Teacher: What else is significant at this time?

    Children: In the New Year, according to the old calendar (from January 13 to January 14), the owners are "sown" with grain so that there is a harvest in the new year.

    Educator: Who are the "Christos"?

    Children: These are people who walk with a dressed-up star, chant the Christmas troparion and glorify Christmas.

    Children: In Baptism, water is blessed and all corners of the house are blessed with this water and all family members are sprinkled with blessed water. Christmas ends with baptism.

    Teacher: What ritual food is there for Christmas?

    Children: Christmas gingerbread.

    (The first presenter puts the figures on the table.)

    Lead 1: Now each of you will receive a piece of dough, and we will try to mold two gingerbread with you. The dough is the future bread, therefore it is necessary to treat it with respect and care.

    Lead 2: We take a piece of dough in our hands and begin to roll it in our palms. Let us transfer the warmth of our hands to him. We roll the ball smooth, without wrinkles. We sculpt any pet: a cow, a horse, a bull, a pig, a deer, a bird - by choice.

    Teacher: We start modeling from the legs. We make 4 tucks on the ball, pull out the neck. Each animal has its own differences. The horse has long legs, a mane; the deer has large branchy antlers; a pig has a patch; the goat has horns, a beard. The bird stands out especially. It is molded in the shape of a boat and always with chicks or eggs. To decorate these elements, we use a knife, sticks. The finished figures are placed on a baking sheet.

    The second type of gingerbread - it is also ancient, is called "Mezen roe". They were made in villages located on the Mezen River in the Arkhangelsk region. The rolling operation is repeated. Then we put it on the table and roll out a long sausage with both hands. It must be of the same thickness. We begin to twist the figure from the middle on the table. The most common were a star, a house, a small church, an eight (as a symbol of infinity), a snail, a deer, a cow, and a cat. Put the gingerbread on another baking sheet.

    (While the children's products are baked in the oven, the teacher sets the children up for the caroling ceremony.)

    Teacher: We take baskets, bags with us, put on masks and set off singing congratulatory carols.

    Children:

    Kolyada, kolyada!

    The carol came

    Christmas Eve,

    Carols, carols.

    We walked, we searched

    Holy carols.

    We found a carriage

    In Ivan's yard.

    Ivanov yard - iron tyn.

    Ivan has three towers in the yard.

    That in one mansion there is a red sun,

    In the second chamber - that the month is clear,

    That in the third chamber there are frequent asterisks,

    Asterisks are frequent - children are small.

    Whoever gave bread - that rye is thick,

    And the pricker and the pricker.

    God give you twelve cows,

    Thirteen bulls.

    They go for watering - they push around.

    They come with water - they play.

    Even in the field, there are increments,

    On the threshing floor - then the hammers,

    Ergot on the table

    Christmas is the gate.

    Kolyada, kolyada!

    (For the song, the children are presented with sweets and gifts. They put everything they have got into baskets and bags for the common ceremonial table. The guys take out grain (or cereal) from their pockets and bags and begin to "sow" the owners, they condemn.)

    Children:

    I sow, I sow,

    Happy New Year!

    With good, with a belly,

    With wealth!

    (Having thus bypassed all the classrooms and classrooms, the children return to their classroom, and here at the tables covered with tablecloths, at the samovar, a feast will take place - a very important part of the ritual Christmastide action.)

    Lead 1: The more abundant the treats on the table, the richer the harvest of bread - rye, wheat, will be in the new year, the livestock will be healthier, cows and goats will have offspring, there will be happiness in the new year.

    Lead 2: Gingerbread gingerbreads are baked in the oven, lie on the table and smell fragrant. We all need to sit down and eat these gingerbread cookies. Previously, the hostess always leaves one or two baked figurines in the red corner under the icons, where they lay before the first pasture of cattle in the field. The dried gingerbread was soaked in water and fed to cattle. The rest of the gingerbread were given away to relatives and guests.

    After the refreshments, the children go to the hall for the next Christmas event - a holiday that includes games, round dances, and dances of the Christmas cycle. Here is some of them.

    1. Round dance of the Vologda region.

    Like ours, ours, our gates,

    Oh, lali, at the gate, oh, lali, at the gate,

    There were girls, girls, girls, a round dance.

    We were in a round dance, in a round dance,

    We saw, we saw, we saw a couple.

    Get up a couple, a couple, a couple, clean up

    At least a little, a little, a little, dance,

    Whom do you love, whom do you love, whom do you love with a kiss.

    A guy walks in a round dance, chooses a girl according to the text, they dance. At the end of the song, the guy kisses her 3 times, then another couple comes out and the round dance starts all over again.

    2. Christmas game of the Vologda region "Buried gold".

    Buried gold

    Buried clean,

    I buried, I buried,

    I covered with gunpowder,

    Dare swept over

    It has turned into a crisp

    It was frosty.

    Guess, guess, girl,

    Walking across the field

    Weave a braid to Russ,

    Eve up, gobble up.

    Fallen, fell the ring

    In viburnum - raspberries,

    Into black currant.

    On which handle is the ring?

    On the right handle,

    On the left little finger.

    The driver walks with a ring in his hand, the rest of the game participants sit with folded hands. The driver hides a ring from one of the players unnoticed by everyone. The second driver must guess who has the ring.

    3. Dancing game of the Vologda region "Rustyapa".

    Children become pairs in a line on the "extra third" type. There must be one extra player in the game. When the dance tune on the balalaika or accordion sounds, first those who are in front and the extra will go to dance. The second ones are called "houses". They can raise their arms like a roof and must stand still. Suddenly the tune breaks off, and then the dancers must occupy a "house". Whoever is left without a house, he will be a "bungler".

    For the first time like this: "One, two, three - you muddler!"

    The second time it was like this: "One, two, three, four, five - you're a muddler again!"
