Easter Rabbit 1: What does the word « Easter» mean ? The word Easter comes from the Anglo - Saxon goodness of the dawn whose spring festival was celebrated in April. Before the arrival of Chistianity, people believed that the sun died in winter and was born in spring, on the day of the spring equinox (День весеннего равноденствия) they would sing and dance at the sunrise.

Easter Rabbit2: Easter is a religion holiday celebrating the Resurrection (воскресение) of Jesus Christ, the son of the God. It's at the end of the Lent (пост) during which children all over the world give up the sweets and make other sacrifices in preparation for the highest festival of the church year.

Easter Rabbit 3: Do you know Easter symbols?

(Учащиеся отвечают из зала)They are The Cross. It has a special meaning to Christians. It represents Christ's victory over death. It is a significant Easter symbol.

Easter Rabbit 4: Eggs. Long ago some people believed that the Earth appeared from a gigantic egg! On Easter Sunday families and friends exchange chocolate eggs. This custom dates back to ancient times when Egyptians and Persians used to paint eggs in bright colours to represent the sunlight of spring and give them to friends as a symbol of a new life.

Easter Rabbit 1: Easter Rabbits. It's true, that in ancient Egypt the rabbit symbolized the moon, a new life and birth. All around the world, many children believe, that the Easter rabbit or bunny brings eggs and hides them for children on Easter morning. There are many different legends but here is a popular one.

(Инсценировка легенды. Персонажи: рассказчик, пожилая женщина, дети, кролики. Персонажи инсценируют речь рассказчика пантомимой)

Long ago in Germany there lived an old woman who loved children very much. Each year she gave them presents to celebrate spring. But one year she had nothing to give because it was a bad year and she became very poor. All she had were eggs. So she decided to colour them. Then she hid the eggs in the grass. When the children arrived, she told them to run out into the yard to find their presents there. Just as one of the children uncovered the eggs, a large rabbit hopped away. So the children thought that the rabbit had left the eggs for them! And ever since children search for the eggs left by the Easter Rabbit on Easter morning! It's called the Easter Egg Hunt.

Easter Rabbit 2: Eggs are an important part of Easter sports. The Romans celebrated the Easter season by running races on an oval track and giving eggs as prizes. One of the traditional Easter egg games is the Easter Egg Roll.

Easter Rabbit 3: Perhaps the most famous egg rolling takes place on the White House Lawn in Washington. Hundreds of children come here with baskets filled with brightly decorated eggs and roll them down hoping the president of the United States is watching the fun.

Easter Rabbit 4: The rules of the Easter Egg Roll are to see who can roll an egg the greatest distance down a grassy hillside without breaking it. We haven't got a grassy lawn but there is a hillside here.

(Звучит аудиозапись. Все поют песню «Hot Cross Buns», которую учили на уроках)

Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! Вот пирожочки,

One a penny, two a penny, С пылу да с жару!

Hot cross buns! Пенни за штуку,

If you have no daughters, Пенни за пару!

Give them to your sons! Купите сыну,

One a penny, two a penny, Купите дочке,

Hot cross buns! Купите своей благородной даме!

But if you haven't any А если нету

Of these pretty little elves, Ни дамы, ни деток,

You cannot do better То на здоровье скушайте сами!

Than eat them yourselves! (Перевод Г. Кружкова)

HOPPY BUNNY (action poem)

By Susan Oslon Higgings

Hop, hop, hop to the left.

Hop, hop, hop to the right.

Easter bunny hide your eggs,

Then hop, hop out of sight.

A BUNNY FINGER PLAY

Five little bunnies

Hopped up a hill.

One stopped to gather

A yellow jonquil.

Four little bunnies hopped past me.

One stopped to nibble

By the old willow tree.

Three little bunnies

Hopped near a brook.

One heard a splash

And stopped to take a look.

Two little bunnies

Hopped past a mouse.

One stopped to visit

In his teeny -tiny house.

One little bunny

Hopped down the knoll.

He disappeared in His cozy rabbit hole.

EASTER BUNNIES ( игра с пальчиковыми куклами)

Five little Easter bunnies

Sitting in a row.

First one said,

«See my ears go

Flop, flop, flop!»

Second one said,

«Just watch me

Hop, hop,hop!»

Third one said,

«See my Easter eggs so bright!»

Fourth one said,

«Ready to bring you on Easter night!»

Fifth one, as he nodded his head,

«We will come if you're in bed».

So five little bunnies quick as they can be,

Hopped back to their hollow

By the big oak tree.

EGG HUNT

Have you looked in the cupboard?

Have you looked in the drawer?

Have you looked by the window?

Let's hunt some more.

Peek in the closet, peek under the bed.

Peek in your slipper,

You know what he said.

I've colored my eggs

With paints and brush

And I'll hide them on Easter

In your house. Hush! Hush!

BUNNIES

Bunnies are brown, bunnies are white-

Bunnies are always an Easter delight.

Bunnies have ears all pinkish inside-

Bunnies all like to hop and to hide.

Bunnies are cuddly, the large and the small,

But I like the chocolate ones best of all!
