W arming-up:

Teacher: Oh, I have something in my bag. Can you guess what it is?

Children: - Is it …?

• Is it a pumpkin?

Teacher: Yes, it’s a pumpkin. It’s one of the symbols of Halloween. So, we’ll learn much about Halloween. We’ll play, sing, recite poems. Hope, you’ll learn some interesting facts and have a lot of fun. Are you ready to start?

1. When and how is the holiday celebrated? ( презентує група “Bats”)

There is a nice holiday for children and teenagers in Great Britain and America – Halloween. It’s on the 31 (thirty-first) of October. In the evening boys and girls put on different old and funny clothes. People put pumpkins on the window-sills. They cut out eyes, noses and mouths on the pumpkins and put candles into them. So the pumpkin looks like a face.

The children go from house to house and knock at the doors. They say:”Trick or treat”. People ask them to come into their houses and give them sweets, fruit, cakes and other tasty things. This is a nice gay holiday, isn’t it?

2. And do you know why it is called “Halloween”? (презентує група “Wise Owls”)

“Halloween” means “holy evening” – the evening before the Christian holy day of All Saint’s Day. But it is even older than Christianity. Hundreds of years ago in what is now Great Britain and Northern France lived the Celts. They celebrated their New Year on the first of November. People believed that on the thirty-first of October ghosts of dead people came back. To scare the ghosts people dressed like devils and were very noisy.

Why is a pumpkin a symbol of Halloween? Why is it called Jack-O’-Lantern?

At night on October, 31^st witches fly on their broomsticks, you can see ghosts, Jack-O’-Lanterns walk around houses, black cats play tricks with us.

The symbol of Halloween is a pumpkin, which is called Jack-O’-Lantern. A burning candle is put inside. Black and orange are the traditional Halloween colours.

The Irish legend says that there lived the man whose name was Jack. He had played jokes on devil and could not enter the hell. He could not enter the heaven because he was a miser. He begged the devil for a coal to light his way out of the dark. He put the coal in a turnip and is still wondering around earth with his lantern.

4. Advertisement for a pumpkin

Do you know?

A pumpkin is a very large orange fruit that grows on the ground. It is tasty. You can make a pumpkin pie. It has no fat. It has a lot of protein. It has tasty seeds inside. In American English the word is used when speaking to someone you love.
