“Think Good!”

(Scenario for a holiday dedicated to

Day of Slavic Literature and Culture)

The concept of education, aimed at the spiritual and moral development of the student’s personality, requires special attention to questions of history native language, Slavic writing and culture. Last days V academic year always stressful for teachers and students, but these days are the celebration of the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, which has now become a state celebration and is widely celebrated by the Slavic world.

Here is a script for a concert dedicated to the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. This holiday is not only an occasion to talk about the native language, its spiritual foundations, beauty and mystery, but also an opportunity to sum up the work of the teacher and children during the year. To make the holiday personally meaningful for each student, it was preceded by a quiz in which anyone could take part (see Appendix).

The uniqueness of the script is that anyone can use it creative person. The script is a frame into which you can insert any numbers suitable for the topic. The connections between the numbers are not only entertaining, but also educational. They represent a dialogue between presenters who “decipher” the Cyrillic alphabet, because, as you know, the Slavic alphabet can be read as a text message from our ancestors to us, our descendants. The dialogues of the presenters, in my opinion, are the most important thing in the script. An accessible and entertaining presentation of serious material increases interest in the language, makes viewers respond emotionally, and broadens their horizons.

The concert numbers are designed to make it bright, to cultivate patriotism, love for our history and culture, and national dignity, so they are partly pathetic. The numbers in the script (can be replaced by others if desired) are creative products created by me during the year. Performance fairy tale hero Ivan the peasant son, an ode to Russia is homework for the game “Russian World”; the concert is a great opportunity to demonstrate these creative masterpieces to everyone. The sketch “Nahum the Literate” was created for the Day of Naum the Literate (December 14), which became the day of the native language in our school. This is an educational theatrical costume performance, which was accompanied by live music - the playing of balalaika players.

The epigraph to the concert and the final song are united by the theme: Word, Spiritual values, Motherland. The concert ends with a vibrant crowd scene: a final song and dance.

The only thing borrowed for the script are poems inII And XIparts (authors unknown), song for children's choir « Morning prayer"; everything else - concert numbers, riddle poems about letters, dialogues between presenters about the Slavic alphabet - the original text created by the author of the script.

The script was tested at MAOU Secondary School No. 73 at a city seminar dedicated to the spiritual and moral education of students.

Goals: Broaden your horizons, deepen your knowledge of the Slavic alphabet; awaken interest in the language, history, CNT, literature, culture of Russia; form spiritual values; to cultivate love for the Motherland, respect for the historical past of its people.

III Part. Riddles about the alphabet

(The presenters are on stage. They play with the audience. Presentation for the riddles - see Appendix)

Friends! Let's remember the letters of the Slavic alphabet together! I will ask riddles, and you will continue the line (Slides 2-12 appear when the answers have been given)

We used to have the alphabet

Started with the letter..? (“Az”)

All sciences begin with it.

And the basics are followed by..? ("Buki")

It's interesting to live in the world,

If you know, know. Otherwise..? (“Lead”).

About our wise alphabet

Our conversation has progressed.

The fourth letter of the Cyrillic alphabet..? ("Verb")

Bring your warmth into the world.

This is what the letter teaches us..? ("Good")

good people there are countless numbers in the world.

This is what the letter says..? ("Eat")

“Let your heart be merciful,”

The letter addressed us..? ("People")

"Think, think,

Clear your thoughts,”

Calls each letter..? ("Think")

Prayer and bow to the Creator, the Creator.

And in Slavic this is a letter..? ("He")

Be wise and bright,

Live in harmony with yourself.

Is this bequeathed by a letter..? ("Peace")

(The ABC is the basis of knowledge.

The most cherished letter in it..? ("Word")

Well done boys! Do you know the letters of the Slavic alphabet?

First conversation about the alphabet

( Presenters)

Why are the letters in this order?

Because the Slavic alphabet is a command, a lesson. And today we will read together this order of our ancestors to us. Let's start with the basics!

What does az mean? And why do they say “know the basics of science” or “don’t know the basics”?

Az is the first letter of the Slavic alphabet. Every person’s path to literacy begins with it. That's why they say: First, knowledge and science, and then science.

Az means I. And the beeches?

Buki - letter, letter, letter.

This means that the alphabet itself introduces itself: az, beeches - I am a letter, in me are the letters of your language.

The third letter of the Cyrillic alphabet is “Vedi”. What does it mean?

We need to remember words with this root.

To know, to reconnoitre, news, conscience...

And the bear, and the witch, and the bride! And the letter “Lead” can reveal many more interesting things. The main thing is to strive to know, to know, to discover.

What about “verb”?

To verb means to speak. But only “Lead” first, and then “verbs”!

Find out first, then speak!

And in order to know, to know, you have to be literate!

And in Rus' there has always been a special, respectful, reverent attitude towards literacy.

Remember, the day when the child was sent to school was special, festive, and it was called -day of Nahum - the literate (together).

IV Part. Sketch “Nahum the Grammar” (see Attachment)

Balalaika players take the stage, then the actors.

V Part . Second conversation about the alphabet

( Presenters on stage)

What are you thinking about, thinker?

I understand! I understood why after the letter “Verb” there is a letter “Good”! Verb Good! Just say Good!

And there is good! The ABC says it!

And the following letters: “Live”, “Zelo”, “Earth”!

- “Live” - live! How should one live?

Great! – says our alphabet, i.e. very, strong, strong!

And where should you live?

On the ground!

This is what the Russians teach folk tales! What Good is! That we must live vigorously, firmly, thoroughly, righteously - as our ancestors lived! And they bequeathed it to us!

And you really need to live on your own land! At home!

On the land of your family, your ancestors!

VI Part. Fabulous

(On stage, Ivan is a peasant son. For the text of the speech, see Appendix 2)

VII Part. Third conversation about the alphabet

(Leaders on stage)

And they also say that one in the field is not a warrior.

It turns out: there is only one warrior in the field, if he is tailored in Russian!

It seems to me that the letterilooks like a military spear that slays evil (the presenter is holding a sign with a letter in his hands).

I really like this letter, it also looks like a candle! A candle is a symbol of the burning of the soul, creativity, creation, and active doing of good.

And if you want to make the world brighter -

Light a candle in your soul! (We say the last line in chorus)

VIII Part. Song “Morning prayer” (children’s choir, flashlights in hands) – (text, notes - see Appendix).

IX Part. The fourth conversation about the alphabet

( Presenters on stage)

Why was Rus' called Holy?

Rus' was called Holy because the ideals of our ancestors were holy!

Because we have many holy saints: Holy warrior-heroes, holy princes, holy monks.

And because our great-grandfathers sacredly kept their faith.

They knew exactly the elementary truth: He is Our Peace. “He” means God the Creator, the Creator.

After all, Cyril and Methodius took up the creation of the alphabet in order to preach the Word of Truth in the Slavic language!

And our alphabet calls: “Rtsy the Word is Firm”! Rtsy means “speak”, “preach”.

Rtsy The Word is Firm if it is the Word of Faith!

Rtsy The Word is Firm if it is the Word of Love!

Rtsy The word is firm, especially if it is a word about the homeland, about Russia.

X Part. Ode to Russia ( text, presentation for the ode - see Attachment)

XI Part . The final

(On stage is the first group of artists who started the concert. A poem is played)

Get up, people, take a deep breath,

Hurry towards the dawn.

And the alphabet given to you,

Write the future fate.

Hope and faith warm souls.

Our path is thorny - the path forward!

Only those people do not die,

In whom the spirit of the Fatherland lives!

Walking under the sun of enlightenment

From distant glorious times,

Even now we, Slavic brothers,

Faithful to the first teachers!

To the highly renowned apostles

Holy love is deep.

Cases of Methodius, Cyril

The Slavs will live for centuries!

(The first chords of the final song sound (text, backing track - see Appendix). The stage is filled with artists: a group of singers, dancers in folk costumes. The dance and the final song are performed simultaneously).

Presenters:

Think good - the light of your native land will not go out!

Thanks to the artists for their sincerity, love of words, interest in our origins.

Thanks to the viewers for your attention! And happy holiday!

Language, our magnificent language.
River and steppe expanse in it,
It contains the screams of an eagle and the roar of a wolf,
The chanting, and the ringing, and the incense of pilgrimage.

It contains the cooing of a dove in the spring,
The lark takes off towards the sun - higher, higher.
Birch Grove. The light is through.
Heavenly rain spilled on the roof.

Green meadow. Merry round dance.
Eve in the sky. In black - lightning running.

"Aw!" In the woods. Firefly at night.

Shepherd's horn. Pity until dawn.
Dear home. The melancholy became sharper than steel.

(The boy Vanya looks at the Old Church Slavonic letters and admires them.)

- Oh, what wonderful letters!

Beautiful, apparently ancient!

They were once important

Now no one needs them anymore.

(To the sounds dance music letters run in, Children have crowns with Cyrillic letters.)

Vanya: (surprised) Who are you?

I am the letter IZHITSA.

I am YUS MALY

Vanya: You are beautiful and you smell of antiquity, but our alphabet has become different, I am very sorry and very sad that your letters have disappeared from ours.

1. What do you mean disappeared?
That we are not important

Don't you need old things?

2. A kerosene lamp is also old,
But you didn't throw it away.

Vanya: It was my grandmother’s mother who, in the light of this lamp, wrote letters to her great-grandfather at the front.

These things have become rare

This is a memory of our ancestors.

4. Well, we are the same memory,

We cannot be forgotten and we cannot be abandoned,

Pushkin, Lermontov wrote us,

We illuminated their path with the light of letters.

5. We live in old books.

And not only beautiful in appearance.

We keep the Orthodox spirit

We will guard our church.

1. Holy Scripture The Bible is the Books of the Old and New Testaments.

They tell you how to live. What means Orthodox Christian be.

(The Hymn to Saints Cyril and Methodius is performed).

Today we will talk about our history, about the emergence of Slavic writing. Every year on May 24, Russia celebrates the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. A nation, people, and state cannot live without culture, literacy, and writing.

(Illustration depicting Cyril and Methodius)

centuries have passed since those long ago

how the letter was given to the Slavs.

And, overcoming ignorance is a shame,

They are equal to all enlightened countries.

Who revealed the truth to people?

Saint Methodius and Saint Cyril!

Exactly they are Bulgarian Enlighteners Cyril and Methodius created the first Slavic alphabet, which we use to this day. The alphabet got its name from the name of the youngest of the brothers - the Hebrew alphabet.

The history of the Cyrillic alphabet is inseparably linked with Orthodoxy. Using the created alphabet, the brothers translated the Holy Scriptures and a number of liturgical books from Greek.

The first words written in Slavic alphabet were the opening lines of the Poschal Gospel of John:

In the beginning was the Word

The Word was with God,

M The Word was God.

It is no coincidence that the life feat of Cyril and Methodius is equated with the apostolic one, calling them the “first teachers” of the Slavs. Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius were canonized in ancient times.

The day of remembrance of Cyril and Methodius established by the church - May 24 according to the new style - is now celebrated in Russia as a public holiday

The Day of Slavic Literature and Culture is the only church and state holiday in our country.

Volumes with a blue cover,
Familiar volumes
The pulse of Russia beats in them,
Life itself is eternal in them.
Page after page...
You will find the answer to everything.
No, they won't get dusty
And after many years.

Writing is a real treasure that man has mastered.

So in ancient times, people exchanged information by sending each other various items. It turned out cumbersome and not particularly clear. When people realized that exchanging message objects was a troublesome task, they began to draw these objects.

(Demonstration of rock paintings)

Such images were found on the walls of caves where ancient people once lived. These are the first steps of man towards the creation of writing. Gradually, people began to replace drawings with symbols.

(Demonstration of rock letter symbols)

Inscriptions were made on stones, rocks, and on boards. Of course, it was inconvenient to carry such “letters” over distances, and these signs could be understood in different ways.

In Rus', another material for writing was used - birch bark. Marks were made on birch bark with a bone rod

Time passed. Gradually, people moved from drawings to signs, which they began to call letters. This is how writing was born.

Before Cyril and Methodius, the Slavs did not have a single written language. Cyril and Methodius created the first Slavic alphabet. They wrote and translated gospel parables, sermons, apostolic epistles and liturgical texts, enlightened the Slavs in Moravia.

(antique books)

The ancestors skillfully decorated books
Stones, gilding and enamel.
And, like precious crowns,
The ancient gospels shone.

In the monasteries, novices-scribes
Diligently with a skillful hand
Line after line was carried out diligently.

Letters of Slavic patterned script
Entwined with floral patterns,
And the silhouettes of forest animals and birds
They curled with flowers, herbs and stems.

During three years Cyril and Methodius worked in Moravia. They raised many students who made a great contribution to the history of Slavic writing and culture. After the death of the great brothers, their disciples suffered persecution. The Pope banned the study of the Slavic language. The cause of Cyril and Methodius, despite a persistent and lengthy struggle for many years, failed Western Slavs, but it firmly established itself in Bulgaria, and from there it was transferred to Serbia, Romania and Rus'.

Native speech is the basis of the Fatherland.

Do not muddy the Divine spring,

Protect yourself: the soul gives birth to a word -

Our great Holy Russian language.

(showing Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet)

The Slavic alphabet existed unchanged in Rus' for more than seven centuries. Its creators tried to make each letter of the first Russian alphabet simple and clear, easy to write. They remembered that the letters should also be beautiful, so that a person, as soon as he saw them, immediately wanted to master writing. The alphabet of Cyril and Methodius amazes us with its simplicity and convenience.

(modern alphabet)

Now our alphabet, compiled by Cyril and Methodius, is the simplest and most convenient. It contains optimal quantity letters - 33. European peoples those who did not compile an alphabet for themselves, but took the Latin one, still suffer from inconvenience. Our alphabet is amazing! And every person who studies the Russian language should know and keep in his memory the names of the first Slavic enlighteners - the brothers Cyril and Methodius.

(monument to Cyril and Methodius)

I am appealing to you, comrades children!

At the state level in our country, the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture was first celebrated in 1863. It was revived more than a century later. “We continue the wonderful tradition of gathering in the main squares of cities and towns and celebrating this day with a festival of choral singing.
