Angel: I proclaim the good news
Singing about the miracle of God.
Will be born soon among people
The Savior of the world is the King of Kings.
Just a little more to wait
He will be born in a wretched barn,
He will sleep in a manger on hay.
I will protect the dream.
God told me to go
Find helpers.
Who can in that poor barn
Serve the born Christ?
Leo: Let me serve the King of Kings,
After all, I myself am the king of beasts.
There is no one more worthy than me
I will be a good guard.
Can I roar loudly
And if necessary, bite
I am the strongest, the most courageous
Take me to this job!
Angel: Probably true, you are brave,
For God, this is very important.
Determination in voice and firmness.
One trouble - pride interferes.
Fox: Take me to serve the King!
I'm being honest, I'm being honest.
I will bring him eggs,
I'll take them from the nests of the birds,
I will get steam milk
In the village near the cow.
And how much good there is in the barns,
I can get any goods.
Angel: Theft is not good for us,
Sin does not lead to good.
It is impossible to serve Christ with sin,
Repent quickly, Lisa.
Peacock: The barn is so dirty, boring, bad
And it smells bad there, probably
I'm ready to serve Christ
I will decorate the poor shelter with myself.
See how beautiful I am -
Feathers shine like the dawn
My outfit is great
Jesus, of course, will be happy.
Angel: Yes, you are beautiful, Peacock, I will not hide,
But I will reveal one secret:
God appreciates the beauty of the heart,
And not variegated clothes.
Nightingale: Here is a gray caftan on me,
But there is a great talent hidden in the heart.
I am a well-known nightingale.
Let me sing to the King of Kings.
In His barn wretched
I will praise God.
I want to serve Christ
But will I get a reward?
Angel: Sing praise to God for a reward?
The Lord does not need this.
He is looking for those who from the heart
The child wants to serve.
And who is working in the field?
Who drags the load, living in captivity?
Ox: I am an old and tired ox.
Donkey: And I am an insignificant slave donkey.
Angel: I want to ask you guys
Do you want to serve God?
To make life a little easier for him,
When He is born in a stable.
Vol: I am gladly ready to serve,
But what can I suggest:
All my life I've been working on the field -
This is just what I'm good at.
Donkey: And what kind of servant is I?
There is no beauty, no intelligence.
Probably for the King of Kings
You will find better animals.
Angel: Perhaps I'm all the way
Animals are better not to be found.
You will, Ox, wag your tail,
Keep flies away from the baby.
And you, Donkey, breathing warmth,
Keep your baby warm at night.
(angel takes a step forward)
Worthy to serve Christ
And give Him your talent
Who thinks modestly with humility
Work taught and patience!

Home "Nativity scene"
What is a "vertep"?
Since about the eighteenth century, crib performances have become one of the favorite folk entertainments of Christmas week in Russia and Little Russia. The nativity scene is a special puppet theater, a “box”, where a performance is shown on a single plot: the Nativity of Jesus and the events associated with it (expulsion from Paradise, worship of the Magi, worship of the shepherds, atrocities of King Herod, etc.).
The puppet theater got its name from the name of the cave in which, according to legend, Mary gave birth to the Holy Child. In Old Slavonic, the cave is called "nativity scene". And since the church had an ambiguous attitude towards puppet shows (and to be honest, the “nativity scenes” of Christmas events were not always distinguished by exceptional piety), the word “nativity scene” also acquired an additional meaning: “ugliness”, “outrages”.
Nevertheless, people loved nativity scenes. And as it turns out, they have retained their charm for modern children: kids love puppet theater very much! Therefore, if you wish, try to make them a Christmas gift: build a small home "box", as was customary in the old days. Children will be happy to take part in this activity.
BUILDING A SMALL HOME "BOX"
Let's take a small box, glue it outside and inside with colored paper (or cloth) and arrange a Christmas decoration inside: the backdrop can be glued with stars, and a large Bethlehem star can be strengthened in the center. Let's make figures of Mary and Joseph, bent over the cradle. Children really like it when animals participate in the composition - a donkey and an ox, according to legend, warming the Baby with their breath.
Planar application is the easiest option. The smallest members of the family can take part in such a project if they already know how to hold scissors in their hands. They can be instructed to cut out the stars and stick the silhouettes of the figures on a pre-marked place.
If the figurines are cut out of sufficiently thick cardboard, they can be installed in the center of the box, glued to the “floor” of the crib.
You can sculpt the characters of the Christmas action from plasticine or sew them from soft materials - it all depends on your capabilities and imagination.
The main thing is that all elements of the composition are fixed, because making a nativity scene is only half the battle. With such a small den they went caroling: they knocked on the neighbors, congratulated them on Christmas, danced and sang carols - funny songs with praises to Christ, wishes, praises and comic threats. For this, carolers were given gifts.
Leading: The village is waking up. There was smoke over the hut, and another one! Now comes the fun!
1st Joker: Oh, guys, look, it’s quiet at the Zaplatovs, the smoke doesn’t curl,
2nd Joker: no light comes out of the window!
3rd Joker: And the door creaks open in the wind ...
Leading: Let's see if there's a problem.
Hey, good people, is there anyone at home?
Scene "Old woman, close the door!".

Or you can arrange a "visible song", i.e. stage a song. under musical insert 1 .
Leading: The trouble with these old people! Enough already pouting at each other, let's go out into the street: sing songs, lead round dances. Christmas is in the yard, and you are quarreling! I will close your door, I will not break!
1st Joker: Look at the square, the fun is in full swing!
2nd Joker: The buffoons roll Vanka, the mummers dance, and in the booth they show a miracle!
3rd Joker: Look, look! An aunt with a beard, with a mustache, speaks in a bass voice! And call her Vlas!
Leading: And the guys from Vatrushka sing ditties. Fun, fun! Who is brave, come out in a circle!
Ditties competition
You can arrange a contest of ditties .. You can certainly find a lot on the Internet, for every taste. You will find one of the options for ditties for children and adults in Appendix 4.
(Download ditties by clicking on the document - Appendix 4)
It will not be superfluous to prepare a few printed ditties and distribute them to guests. Well, the lead singers, of course, will be the main characters - the Host and the mummers.
At the end of the competition, the most sonorous singers can be awarded.
1st Joker (referring to the leader ):
Come to us for morning pickle
The English ambassador has arrived!
Leading: Oh, really! I don’t know the ambassador, al merchant, but you can see right away - a foreign fellow. Chest puffed out with a wheel, goes an important gander. Arrogant a lot, but in your pocket, listen, one louse on the lasso.
Here you can imagine a parody dance number performed by Ambassador or sing something "imported".
Costumed scene "Ambassador at the holiday"
2nd Joker: Causes an interest
your technical progress:
How do you sow swede there?
With peel or without?
Ambassador: Oh yes!
Leading: Causes an interest
Your nutritional process:
How do you drink cocoa there?
With saccharin or without?
Ambassador: Oh yes!
3rd Joker: Causes an interest
Here's another cut:
How do you women go there?
In pantaloons? Ali without?
Ambassador: Oh yes!
Leading (referring to the 3rd Joker):
I was ashamed, even if I would send
Al completely weakened his head.
Wherever they say
All one will bring to the women!
3rd Joker Leading:
You, listen, do not shout loudly.
Where is the place for the test? In the oven!
What to swear and scold
Find me a bride!
(option: Find me a groom)
(The dialogue with the ambassador is borrowed from Leonid Filatov's fairy tale "About Fedot the Srelets")
Leading: There is a treasured game.
Here's the ring I saved.
(Or, if the host is male, a question to any girl: Have you saved the ring?)
Who gets the ring
He will now enter the circle.
Game "Ring".
Sounds like 2.
(Jester goes "to the people", looking for a pretty girl, lowers her into the hands of her chosen one, leads her into a circle. Now the girl is looking for a mate. The game continues for some time, and when there are five people (or the recording ends), the selected people stand in a chain and go out to the audience, the latter picks up one of the audience, etc., until everyone gathers in a big round dance).
Another fun that both children and adults love. After the round dance, you can play "brook". Remember this dance game? Pairs line up one after another and raise their hands, and the one who is left without a pair “dives” under their hands, and along the way takes a half from one of the pairs. Left without a partner, in turn, dives "into the stream".
Leading: Well that's just wonderful! One couple got married. And the holiday continues!
Ida, oh yeah!
1st Joker: All welcome here:
2nd Joker: And Tishki, and Mishki,
3rd Joker: And Kolka, and Grishka,
Leading: Both Tanechki and Manechki!
Well, good fellows, have fun, show the heroic power!
Who wants to fight the Serpent Gorynych?
Team Championship "Fight on the Kalinov Bridge"
One chair is placed in front of the teams, with three balls tied to the back (three snake heads, but maybe more if you have a large company). A relay race is held for speed, who will behead the monster faster. To do this, team members take turns running up to a chair and cut off one of the heads with scissors*. The fastest team wins.
Scissors must be prepared in advance and placed on a chair to prevent players from running around with them.
Competition "Tug of war"
Leading: The next competition is "Tug of war" .
It can be both real and comic. In the second case, the role of a rope is played by a long rope (tape), to the ends of which small round sticks are tied (see Props). At the command of the Leader, the rivals begin to wind the rope around the sticks. The winner is the one who quickly winds the rope to the middle.
1st Joker: Oh yes Tishki, oh yes Bears!
2nd Joker: Ah, yes, Kolka, ah, yes, Grishka!
3rd Joker: Ay, yes, Tanechki, ah, yes, Manechki!
Leading: And indeed, well done! Both brave and strong! Let's test your dexterity.
Competition "Come on, bite!"
Leading: And now it's time for a fun fight!
The competition "Come on bite!" Competitors must bite into an apple that is suspended from a string at mouth level without using their hands.
When children play, it is better not to strengthen the apples, but simply to hold them in an outstretched hand. This will make it possible to give everyone the same opportunity to play, because the height of the gathered kids can vary greatly.
You can end the holiday with the good old New Year's song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest" and a general round dance.
Hello dear friends!
I hasten to share with you the script for Christmas to stage a performance for children. This year, on January 9, we showed this performance-musical in the parish to our city children. At the end of the article I will post a video of our musical for you. It should be noted that our little actors mastered the performance in several rehearsals, no one had much time, but despite the fact that there were clearly few rehearsals (only two :)), the guys did it and we adults watched with pleasure how they unfold on the stage!
words by I. Tokmakov-S. Alyoshin, music by S. Alyoshin
It happens in the world
That only once a year
They light up the tree
Beautiful star (2 times).The star burns, does not melt,
Glittering transparent ice.
And the holiday is coming (2 times)
Christmas is coming to us. (2 times)The soul aspires to fly, -
Where it's high.
Magic light streams
And beckons far. (2 times)And the star is twinkling
He invites us to the feast.
And the heart stops
Freezes from happiness:
Christmas is coming to us! (2 times)
Leading: Hello dear guests, hello my little friends! Today I will tell you a wonderful Christmas story. Sit back and get ready to listen carefully.
You have probably heard that the time before Christmas is the most unusual, and you know that real miracles can happen at this time.
And so, you and I found ourselves in the kitchen of a small house. The girl Masha lives here with her brother Pasha, her mother and her pet cat. Look, Masha and Pasha are sitting at the table and guessing a crossword puzzle. At the stove, as expected, mom is busy. Ah, what a smell! This is a Christmas cake being baked in the oven. And look, right there at the stove sits a big red cat.
Hey cat, well, you have an important look
Cat: Meow, be careful, please, I actually like affectionate treatment.
Leading: Oh, did you hear? Blimey! It seems that miracles have already begun.
Cat: Please call me by my first name next time. My name is Pus. And this is my flatmate, Kettle. He is very sociable, likes to talk, to be indignant. Yes, listen for yourself (teapot whistle)
Leading: Indeed, neither the children nor the mother noticed that the kettle was boiling on the stove.
Teapot:(Kettle whistle) Phew! Puff-puff! Yes, what is it! They were so carried away by their own affairs that they forgot about me again! I'll sing my song to them (sound Introduction).
Leading: Oh, so we'll listen to how the teapots sing.
I am a good old teapot,
I'm all friends
But my temper is hot
And often boil (2)
Steam in the nose goes water
Puff-puff, da-da-da-da
Steam in the nose water.
I meet you at home
And I love everyone very much
Hot, delicious tea
I will drink you on a holiday
I treat everyone with tea
And I sing a song
Pr: Puff-puff, in order-in order-in order-yes
Steam in the nose goes water
Puff-puff, da-da-da-da
Steam in the nose water.
But one day one day
I was so resentful
People who are not very smart
Who called the teapot?
Well, who are stupid people
Suddenly nicknamed the teapot?
Pr: Puff-puff, in order-in order-in order-yes
Steam in the nose goes water
Puff-puff, da-da-da-da
Steam in the nose water.
cherished desire
I have a dream
It will only be fulfilled
On January seventh
I live in anticipation
On January seventh.
Cat: Well, well, don't philosophize too much - you see, Pasha and Masha are engaged.
Masha: Okay, you guessed the word. The word "miracle" is short, but this word is long.
Pasha: So, let's see... One of the most important holidays celebrated by the church, in which heaven and earth are united and it is believed that wishes come true. Ah, wishes! It can only be Christmas! Exactly, it fits!
Masha: Pasha, why are heaven and earth united?
Pasha: How can you not understand, because this is the most beautiful holiday. Really, mom?
Mum: If not true, I have a pie being prepared. Let's go to church and celebrate.
Masha: Yes, you will go to the service, and I will stay at home ...
Pasha: You are the one to blame. I told you not to eat snow.
Teapot:(whistle) Puff-puff! Phew!
Mum: Wait, honey, I'll wash my hands and turn it off.
Pasha: Christmas is great! At Christmas and the Christmas tree, and Santa Claus and gifts. This is the most wonderful holiday in the world!
Soon, soon Christmas
Joy for children
We set the table at home, we will invite guests.
Pr: Have a wonderful Christmas,
The stars shine bright
Christmas tree, Santa Claus,
Birthday cake,
Long awaited gifts. (2 times)
If only we could invent a miracle locomotive
To rush us to where Christ was born.
Etc: (children)
There the Lord - Christ I would ask
To teach us how to lead well
Masha: Pasha, is he handsome, little Christ?
Pasha: Of course, this is God himself.
Masha: Will you take me on your miracle steam locomotive? I also want to see Christ.
Pasha: What, it's just a song.
Masha: So what, you yourself said that at Christmas all wishes come true. Is it true or not?
Pasha: Don't know. Maybe…
Mum: True, Mashenka, true. You just have to really want it. (Kettle whistle). Again, I did not turn off the kettle! I will soon throw it away and buy a new one, self-powered, like his, "Tefal", it seems.
Masha: Mom, Pasha tells me such strange things about Christmas. Is it great when heaven and earth unite?
Mum: This is great. When I was little, it seemed to me that at the Christmas service it was as if I was standing in heaven. Yes, and now Christmas is like a fairy tale for me, and I become small, small again.
Mum: On fluffy Christmas tree paws
Balls shine here and there
And beautiful children of mom, dad
They lead to the night service in the temple
Pr: There is no road to childhood,
How can we buy a ticket
A star fell from the sky
It's the star of Christmas (2)
Christmas trees are burning in your favorite temple
Girl lights a candle
Happy little boy clings to his mother
I want to see my mom too.
In the depths, where the lights flicker,
The cradle with the Lord stands
Children watch with bated breath
We would also like to throw off our important appearance
Good for the guys in a nice temple
Father gives gifts
Well, why, why, tell yourself,
We are in a hurry to grow up every year.
Pr: There is no road to childhood,
How can we buy a ticket
But the star does not go out in the heart
This is the star of Christmas. (same words)
There is no road to childhood
How can we buy a ticket
So let the star not go out
This star of Christmas (2 last page 2 times)
Mum: What is it that I sang? We have no time, there is already a lot of time, it's time to get ready for the service. (leave)
Cat: Meow!
Masha (one): Ah, Pusik, if you really could be in heaven, and yet how you want to see the little Christ.
Leading: My friends, I completely forgot to tell you one little secret: every year on Christmas night, a Christmas star flies in front of every house. The one who sees it will surely fulfill the most cherished desires.
But not everyone manages to see her, because at the very moment when she should appear, everyone is attacked by a strange deep sleep, which is impossible to fight, and only the most enduring can overcome it.
And you know, both the cat and the teapot also have their own cherished desires: the teapot wants to stay in this house forever, and the Cat dreams of a good friend.
It should be noted, friends, that both the Cat and the Teapot have been waiting for the Christmas star for more than a year, but just before its appearance, they fall asleep.
But this year they decided that they would wait for the star, no matter what.
Cat and Teapot: What a winter
We are on duty at the window
We know to fulfill a wish
Maybe one star.
A star fell from the sky
Gone forever
Oh how stupid
We overslept like always
Nothing succeeded,
That's the trouble, brother.
Oh, I'm a very old kettle
And I'm not "Tefal" at all
Break up with this house
It will be very, very sorry
Star from the sky...
You have to try very hard
To not sleep at night
We must wait for the stars
Tell her about your dream.
And now we really believe
Everything will work out for us!
We will wait for the stars with you
We won't sleep this time!
We will wait for the stars with you
We won't sleep this time!
(leave)
Leading: Friends, Christmas is a special holiday. The Lord Himself descended to earth, and when He lay in the cradle, the animals caressed Him. And the heavenly angels sang “Glory to God in the highest” - this is how heaven and earth united ...
Let's see how our Mashenka is? The girl sits and is sad.
Masha: It seems that I would give everything in the world to see with one eye how it all was in reality. I would not disturb anyone, but I would sit quietly, quietly, like a mouse. (sings)
Well, where, tell me, where is that asterisk burning?
Well, where, tell me, where, where is that donkey standing?
I'll give the donkey oats, wrap it in a scarf.
And where Christ lies, I’ll take a look with one eye. (2)
Well, tell me how to get to that cave?
Well, tell me, how can I find the Lord?
I will bring him all my toys,
Christmas gifts and Christmas tree lights. (2)
At the nurseries around, I will light the lights.
May they please my God.
I'll sit in a corner, wishing for one thing:
Look at the Lord and his mother. (2)
What a wonderful night tonight! I won't sleep for anything. I'll wait for my mother and Pasha. (sits down at the table)
(Pus and Kettle enter)
Teapot:(whistle) Pus!
Cat: Meow!
Teapot: What a pity Masha!
Cat: Yes, it's a shame we can't help her.
Teapot: Listen, Pus, even though I'm a teapot, I had an interesting idea.
Cat: Which?
Teapot: We can help her, we ourselves can ask the star to fulfill Masha's wish.
Cat: But what about our desires? After all, we have to sacrifice them.
Teapot: As for me, I'm ready.
Cat: Well, so do I. Wait, what if they throw you out?
Teapot: We'll come up with something. Masha has a desire, so a desire. She wants to see Christ.
Leading: This time, Kettle and Pus agreed to take turns sleeping.
And Mashenka was tired and fell asleep right at the table.
And outside the window, a holiday begins: large flakes of snow fall and cover the trees and houses with a white cover, in the distance, where the temple stands, the first stars light up in the blue sky.
And you know, friends, it seems to me that right now the very moment that the cat and the teapot are waiting for will come.
And now, look, a star of extraordinary beauty appeared in the sky. She slowly floats to the earth, and her rays shine either blue, then green, then gold, her quiet and gentle light spread throughout the sky.
Star: Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Christmas is coming! Today the Lord was born on Earth! (sings)
A star fell from the sky - this rarely happens
Christmas night has come and all wishes come true.
A star from the sky, a clear star
You tell us about the beautiful life (2)
There, in a wonderful distance, I don’t know how much to hang
There is a wonderful country, there is a blue country
Star…
Trees and grasses are different, their breeze caresses
The birds sing beautiful, the sun always shines
Star…
1 verse repeated
Teapot: Ah, what a beautiful star! I will never, ever forget her.
Cat: Listen, she's flying away, and we haven't had time to tell her anything yet! We forgot about Masha! Hey Star, wait, don't fly away!
Teapot: Wait, wait, please! We forgot to tell you about our Masha! She has such an unusual desire!
Star: I know everything! Mashenka will see everything in a dream! She will see everything! Farewell! Farewell!
Cat: Farewell, star!
Teapot: Cat, look - what's going on around! What an amazing transformation!
Leading: Indeed, friends, look around and listen... What an unusual and solemn silence. We are in a Christmas fairy tale!
It seems that everything is the same around, the same trees, paths, the temple in the distance, but all this is somehow special and mysterious.
You feel something very, very important is happening right now!

Cat: Meow! Yes! Look at Masha!
Teapot: Oh, what's wrong with her? It's like she's dreaming of something!
Cat: I know it's an asterisk, our asterisk!
Leading: Friends, look how fast Masha is sleeping. And her face is happy, happy, it shines! It can be seen that she is dreaming of something wonderful and desired. The star must have kept his promise.
Pasha: Oh, Masha is sleeping.
Leading: When the festive service in the temple ended, everyone again gathered at home at a large table.
Oh what is it? Do you hear someone's steps at the threshold?
Friends, who knows what kind of grandfather and granddaughter they come to congratulate the guys on winter holidays?
Children: Father Frost! Snow Maiden.
Father Frost: Hello guys! Hello Masha!
Masha: Hello Santa Claus, hello Snow Maiden! And I had such a wonderful dream! Now I know what Christmas is.
Father Frost: I brought gifts here, here is a new teapot, it seems to be called “Tefal”. Now invite me for tea.
Mum: That's great! I dreamed about it for a long time. It’s just a pity to throw ours away - we got used to it.
Masha: And come on, mom, I'll take it for myself, I'll water the flowers from it.
Cat: Meow, Kettle, you are my dear friend! How happy I am for you!
Teapot: Of course, I did not expect this at all, it's all an asterisk. Only now, my wish came true, but how are you? (music)
Cat: I am the luckiest cat in the world because I have such a good friend.
Teapot: Who?
Cat: It's you. And how did I not notice this before?
Teapot: Thanks, I'm very touched. (waltz)
Leading: Friends, are you convinced that miracles happen on Christmas and cherished wishes come true?!
Look, the Teapot lives in his beloved family, the Cat realized that the Teapot is his true friend. Together they helped make a machine wish come true.
The mother of the guys is happy that today is Christmas, which means everyone can be pampered with a delicious holiday cake, because she loves to treat so much.
The whole family is happy, what a wonderful Christmas!
And our happiest Mashenka, and why, only Zvezdochka, the Cat and the Teapot know about it!
Father Frost: This is such a Christmas story! And if you really want your good wishes to come true, then they will certainly come true.
The end of the performance.
Having completed the performance, we continued the role of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden in this vein: we invited children from the audience to recite poems, sing songs and receive gifts for this. The Snow Maiden made riddles about the New Year and Christmas.
In the end, all the children received gifts.
