Script

Narrator 1 ( a boy)

Here’s a special valentine

With lots of love for you.

And since you’re very special

Here are hugs and kisses, too!

Narrator 2 ( a girl) Hello, friends! We’re happy to welcome you at our party today. Today we shall have the English party and have a talk about the Valentine's Day!

It has been said that we need just three things in life:

Something to do,

Something to look forward too

And someone to love.

A pupilWhat kind of holiday is St. Valentine's Day?

Narrator 1It’s a special day. It’s the day when people tell each other nice things, they give small presents to their beloved ones, and they speak and sing about love.

Narrator 2St. Valentine's Day is a religious holiday, which is celebrated in Great Britain, in many European countries and in the USA.

A pupil Oh Look at the screen ! How wonderful the little boys are !

Narrator 1It isone of the early symbols of love Cupid, the Ro­man God of love, who is represented as a young boy with a bow and arrow.

Narrator 2There are some other symbols of Valentine’s Day

Hearts, Love birds and Doves , Rings , Red Rose

A poem “It’s Valentine’s Day”:

It’s Valentine’s Day. And in the street

There’s freezing rain, and slush, and sleet.

The wind is fierce. The skies are grey,

I don’t think I’ll go out today.

But here inside the weather’s warm,

There’s no trace of wind or storm.

And you just made the morning shine:

You said you’d be my Valentine.

A pupilDo you know why this day is called St. Valentine’s Day? Who was this Valentine?

Narrator 2 There are several stories about the origin of the day. Do you want to learn more about it? Here you are. According to one legend Valentine was a Christian priest in the Roman Empire 300 after the death of Jesus Christ. When the Roman Emperor Claudius II needed soldiers for his army, he made a special law against marrying because he was sure that getting married made men want to stay at home instead of fighting wars. But at that time there lived a priest called Valentine. He couldn’t agree with the emperor’s decision. When he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly.

Scene 1

He: Oh, please! Marry us! We love each other truly! We can’t live without each other.

She: I’ll die, if you don’t marry us. Please, please. Help us!

The Priest: I see how much you love each other. I will help you. My daughter! My son! I declare you husband and wife! Live long and be happy!

The warder: Priest, you have been discovered and condemned to death! How dare you break the law? To prison! To prison!

He and She: Farewell, Father!

Scene 2

The Priest: What a beautiful girl!

The jailer: This is my daughter. She is so unhappy. She is blind. She will never enjoy the light of the sun! She will never see the blue sky! She will never see the trees!

The priest: I will help you. Come up to me, poor child! Don’t be afraid!

Narrator 2: You’ve worked a miracle! Thank you! You are so kind. Even here, in prison, you show your love for everyone. I’m so grateful to you! May I come to visit you every day?

The priest: Unfortunately, tomorrow, on February 14, I am 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, Valentine sent the girl a farewell message which he signed ”From your Valentine”.

Narrator 1 Love is a strong feeling. Sometimes it makes us sacrifice something that we really like.

The Rose and the Nightingale

Narrator 1 Now I think everybody understands why this day is observed in many countries of the world. It’s a good time to show your love.

Narrator 2 Love to your mother, granny, to your sister or brother, to your relatives and friends.

Narrator 1 Great love doesn’t come at once. It’s necessary to understand it in a proper way and to be able to express this great feeling. First of all our mother helps to do this.

Poem "A song about love".

Love is a wonderful

thing though it’s sad.

Love makes you happy

And goes to your head.

When others are down.

Love keeps you smiling

No trace of a known.

Pupil What are you reading?

Narrator 2 Oh, it’s a valentine card from a secret admirer.

PupilA secret admirer? Who is it?

Narrator 2 Don’t you know? It’s a person who writes valentine cards to someone, but who wants to stay unknown. So he/she signs the card like this “a secret admirer” or “a mysterious friend”.
