Ход праздника

Host 1: Dear Friends! Ladies and gentlemen, children and grown-ups! Welcome to our party!

Host 2: It has been said that we need three things in life: something to do, something to look forward to, and someone to love.

Host 1: Our party is dedicated to St. Valentine’s Day, which is always held on the 14^th of February and brings us happiness and good luck.

Host 2: St. Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular holidays in Europe and America. It is the day, when boys and girls, sweethearts and lovers, husbands and wives, friends and neighbours, and even the office staff, exchange greetings of affection, undying love, or satirical comment.

Host 1: St. Valentine’s Day, February 14, has been a day customary for choosing sweethearts, and exchanging love-tokens from time immemorial.

Host 2: The method of choosing sweethearts on St. Valentine’s Day varied in different time and places. It could be a serious matter, leading to marriage; or it could be a kind of a game. Countless generations of young people have acknowledged St. Valentine as the friend and patron of lovers.

Host 1: So we also wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Host 2: Today we’ll have some interesting contests; you’ll hear fascinating songs and music, lovely poems, proverbs and quotations about love.

Host 1: Now let’s greet our participants! Let me introduce them:

Host 2: And this is our honourable jury! Applause, please! Well, let’s start our contest for the Best Valentine of 2003.

Host 1: So, ladies, what is “love”?

Participants: We can answer this question with the words of a beautiful song:

“Love is…”

1. Love is … a tender feeling,

Love is … a way of being,

Love is … just showing someone you care.

2. Love is … helping with the dishes,

Love is … feeding your pet fishes,

Love is … just giving from your heart.

3. Love is so very simple.

It’s not a mystery

When you treat those around you

The very same way

You want them to treat you.

4. Love is … your baby sister,

Love is … playing with her,

Love is … holding her when she cries.

5. Love is … sharing your candy,

Love is … being all that you can be,

Love is … lending a helping hand

When someone needs you.

6. Love is … L - O - V - E

Love is … for you and me.

Oh! Love is the greatest thing in the world.

Host 2: Contest 1. Try to answer the questions about the history of St. Valentine’s Day as quickly as possible. The first who will raise a hand and give a correct answer will get a point.

1) What is the first name for Valentine’s Day?

2) Who named her palace “The Valentine” and when?

3) Who wrote the Valentine poems on the wall of the Tower of London?

4) Do you know anything about the legends of how St. Valentine’s Day began?

Host 1: There are many other legends about how Valentine’s Day started, and no one knows for sure whether any of them are true.

Host 2: Well, the first contest is over. While the jury are summing up the results, the girls may have a rest. We suggest singing a well known song

“You can share my light.”

(Chorus)

You can share my light,

You can share my song,

You can share my happy love,

Come and sing along.

1.

Come along and sing a song

But please don’t sing the blues.

So much is right, much more than wrong

And we have happy news.

(Repeat Chorus)

2.

Sing it out, don’t hold it back

And more will come your way.

So sing this happy melody

To brighten up your day.

(Repeat Chorus)

Come and sing along!

Come and sing along!

(Everybody is singing a song)

Host 1: Contest 2. Here you can see many divided hearts with different words on them. The task is to find and match the words with similar meanings. The more pairs of words you’ll find, the more points you’ll get. (участники показывают жюри собранные пары слов и зачитывают их вслух).

Host 2: One of the answers was “a rose”. A rose is one of the most favourite presents on St. Valentine’s Day. Would you like to listen to the poem that is called “My Love is Like a Red Red Rose”, written by the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns? (один из участников исполняет стихотворение).
