The history of the New Year holiday... Slide.

The tradition of celebrating the beginning of the new year goes back to the distant past... Among the ancient peoples, the celebration of the New Year coincided with the beginning of spring and what year they have in their yard: just a warm summer gave way to a rainy autumn, followed by a snowy winter, and after long cold weather streams rang. Some people counted how many springs they met, others - how many they could survive the harsh winters.

Slide. Later, on the day of the vernal equinox, people arrangedfestive procession, sang songs, danced, rejoiced in the awakening of nature from sleep to life.Several hundred years later, when a new religion came to us from the country of Byzantium, a new faith in God, a new calendar came, in which the new year began on September 1. People were harvesting. Slide.

Slide Peter 1. New changes in the calendar occurred during the reign of the famous Tsar Peter 1, who issued a decree to celebrate the New Year according to European custom - January 1.

Slide. Peter's decree. Peter invited all Muscovites to decorate their homes with pine and spruce branches. This is what was written in the Petrovsky decree: “On large and passable streets, noble people at the houses in front of the gates to make some decorations from pine and juniper branches” ... Everyone was supposed to congratulate relatives and friends. And at 12 o'clock at night, Peter 1 went to Red Square with a torch in his hands and launched fireworks into the sky. So on January 1, 1700, the first real New Year was celebrated, noisy, fun, bright. Slide. Feast in the time of Peter.

Physical education.

This is child's play, so that the kids do not freeze. (arms crossed over shoulders, pat)

And we start the song first together! (movement along the text)

2. Fierce cold prevailed, the wind flew to visit,

It's endless winter here, and now we have a game. (swing your arms over your head - wind)

We all stand up, we begin, we do not miss you with you,

Hands, feet, head, the game begins. (spring, arms, legs, head, 4 claps)

Chorus: Let's jump, jump, jump,

And we kick up, kick up, kick up our legs.

We will clap, clap, clap,

And we will sink with our feet, we will sink, we will sink!

We shake our heads, shake them, shake them

And we start the song first together!

Losing: 1. Heel + cotton, 2. Flashlights up / down (screw in the bulbs)

Everywhere he is a welcome guest.
We meet him with a smile -
This is how it was in Russia.

Chorus:
Russian Santa Claus,
Russian Santa Claus,
Russian Santa Claus,
Father Frost.

He will light the garlands on the tree
He will make the holiday fabulous
He will sing a merry song.

We all know him from an early age,
Everywhere he is a welcome guest.
We meet him with a smile -
This is how it was in Russia.

I am friendly with the blizzard,
With a cold winter.
Snow are my friends
And the wind is icy.
Wrap yourself up in warmth
And take care of your nose!
Meet at the door -
I brought gifts!

He builds palaces of ice,
He hides in the snow at home,
He loves the vastness of Russia,
And winter is inseparable with him.

We all know him from an early age,
Everywhere he is a welcome guest.
We meet him with a smile -
So it was in Russia. We are friends with a blizzard, With a snowy winter, We are friendly with a blizzard And with an icy hill. Let the snowflakes circle among the stars! Santa Claus came to us, And with him - and the New Year!

4. Santa Claus. Slide.

- Who is the main character of the holiday?

Russian Santa Claus is a very mysterious figure. There is an opinion that among his relatives there is a Slavic spirit of cold - Treskun. In another way, he was called Studenets, Moroz. Slide. The ancient image of Santa Claus.

Many different tales and legends have survived about Frost - the owner of snow fields and forests, who brings cold, snow, blizzards to the ground. He was called differently: Moroz, Morozko, and more often, with respect - Moroz Ivanovich.

In those days, he rarely gave gifts, on the contrary, people who believed in his strength gave gifts to him so that he became kinder. Over time, he grew more kinder, his character changed, he began to bring gifts to children on New Year's Eve.

Slide. Father Frost's residence.

The modern residence of Father Frost is located in the city of Veliky Ustyug. Before the New Year, Santa Claus parses letters that come to him in huge quantities, comes up with original gifts and entertainment for children.

5 . Where did the custom of decorating a Christmas tree come from??

Tell me, how does the New Year celebration begin?

Slide. Christmas tree decorated with fruits.

Previously, people believed that by decorating a Christmas tree, they make evil forces kinder. Nuts, fruits and even vegetables were hung on tree branches. Over time, the evil forces were forgotten.

The tradition of celebrating the New Year with a Christmas tree appeared during the reign of Peter 1. It either faded away or revived again.

Slide. An old tree of the last century.

It is believed that the Germans living in St. Petersburg began decorating the Christmas tree with toys 150 years ago. The Russians liked this custom, and they began to install Christmas trees in their homes. Wax candles burned on the branches, then they were replaced by electric garlands. And shiny balls appeared a little over 100 years ago. Slide. Modern Christmas tree..

(the presenter and the Snowman give the children prizes for their participation.)

Kolobok: - Oh, guys, I liked it so much! You know so much! I will probably go to you every day and teach you something

Russian folk tale "Kolobok"

After Kolobok ran away from his grandfather and grandmother, he decided to find new friends. He had already made friends with the cheerful hare Slanting eye, with the gray wolf Koryusha and the sweet tooth Toptyshkin. The gingerbread man rolled along the path and loudly sang his favorite song:

I'm Gingerbread Man, Gingerbread Man

I left my grandfather

I left my grandmother

But I found friends.

Oh, friends, my friends!

You can't eat me now

After all, you can't have friends

Even though you are a terrible villain.

At this time, Lisa was in a hurry to the holiday. A concert of amateur performances is to take place in a birch grove. It was then that she met a mischievous blue-eyed Kolobok, thinking that the prey itself had come into her hands. She asked him to sing this song again. The gingerbread man stood on a tree stump and began to sing even louder. Lisa liked this song so much that she, forgetting about everything, grabbed Kolobok by the hand and started dancing with him. The hare, wolf and bear, having heard the perky song, also rushed to the clearing. The slanting eye played the accordion, and Koryusha hit the bass. And they all sang loudly together.

Stand up, beasts, stand in a circle

Stand in a circle!

You are my friend and I am your friend

The most faithful friend.

And Kosolapy Toptyzhkin did not know how to sing, as in childhood they stepped on his ear, and he stepped aside. Enjoying the singing of his friends, rejoicing for them, he thought, “If you don't have a friend, look for it, but if you find it, take care of it.

New Year was celebrated in Ancient Russia in spring, in March, when nature woke up from hibernation. From the 15th century, the holiday began to be celebrated on September 1, after the harvest.

In the old days in Russia, on New Year's Eve, mummers - children and adults, dressed in masks and animal skins - went home. They sang, danced, sprinkled grain on the floor, wishing the owners a rich harvest, good health, glorifying the generosity of the owners.

And only 300 years ago everything changed.

In 1700, Tsar Peter 1 postponed the celebration of the new year to January 1. He issued a decree ordering the New Year to be celebrated on the night of January 1. He traveled with the singers to the boyars' houses and congratulated them. At this time, fires were kindled in the streets so that there was a lot of light and warmth. On this day, everyone congratulated each other, decorated houses with pine, juniper and spruce branches, arranged fireworks, lit fires and candles.

Everyone was told to put on their best new clothes, congratulate each other on the holiday, and go out all week. This is how the January New Year was celebrated in Russia for the first time with a Christmas tree.

People congratulated each other on the holiday, gave gifts. And at the end of the XIX century. there was a tradition of writing and sending congratulations on postcards (now they are called postcards). Postcards appeared in Russia on January 1, 1872. Views of Moscow can be considered the first postcards in Russia. Many stories for them were taken from the Bible, then New Year's cards became very diverse in content, with witty and good wishes.

Paved frost overnight
Updated skates, sleds,
He brought a Christmas tree from the forest.
