1:17 AM It's Family Day at School | |
Why don’t you devote the whole school day to the nearest and the dearest? In the school hall you can exhibit different project works on such topics as "My Family Tree”, "My Life Story”, "What Father Means”, etc. You can also organize reciting or learning family rhymes and poems right at the lessons. You can speak about family traditions or the most unforgettable day from the life of your family as well. During the breaks it’s advisable to show a family video film. It’s not a bad idea to have "The Tree of Wishes (Love)” where the students can stick their notes with the best words to the nearest and the dearest. That will help and teach them to express their love and understand the feelings of others. To crown it all why don’t you organize any party devoted to the family life? Some preparatory work should definitely be done. Make a "Picture Gallery” of family pictures including funny ones. Decorate the hall with proverbs and sayings about a family. Make a large colourful family tree, etc. “The Nearest and the Dearest”. The Party Compere: What makes a family? Most of us usually say: “My father, mother, sister, brother”. Certainly, it’s the first thing we think of. But today we’ll see that there is something much deeper and bigger in the word “family”. Let’s find out. 1. About me: Here I am. I’ve just been born. And my mother and father Are sing me this song: Boys for fathers: : How many fingers ? How many toes ? How many eyes Beside his nose ? Girls for mothers: Ten little fingers. Ten little toes. Two big brown eyes And a little pig-nose. 2. About Grandpa: Here is my grandpa He’s kind and full of joy He knows lots of stories And makes wonderful toys We don’t play football But can talk all day long. When we stay together I’m never bored. 3. About Granny: When parents go out and tell me “Good bye” I’m quite sad and even want to cry. But here comes Granny to tell me “Good night” She kisses me tender and sings a lullaby: Any lullaby, eg. : “Hickory – dickory – dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one The mouth ran down. Hickory – dickory – dock. 4. About my brother: Many little children Have no brother small, Have no little sister And cannot play at all, But I’ve got a brother We call him little John Sometimes he’s very naughty But still we love him all. Little John Jumping, jumping, never still. Running, laughing, with all will, All the day and some at night Playing hard with all his might. Oh, what’s that I hear? Do I see a little tear? Does my brother ever cry? Why, no, see now, his eyes are dry! When it’s time to go to bed He gets his blocks and nods his head. He knows there’ll be another day For us to run and jump and play. 5. About my sister: And here is my sister. She teaches me to dance . She says it’s very easy. So, let us start at once! Any dance, eg.: 1,2,3 on the tip - toes /– twice 1,2,3 turn around Clap, clap step aside 6. About Mum: -I have 2 balls, many toys and a brother And I’m very very fond of my mother - Who fed me when I was a child? - My mother. - Who comforted me in her arms so mild? - My mother. - Who sat and watched my childish head When I slept in my little bed? - My mother. - When sickness made me cry in pain Who nursed me till I was well again? - My mother. - Who dressed my little doll so gaily? And tought me songs and games daily? - My mother. - Who rushed to help me we when I fell And was always ready new stories to tell? -My mother. - Who is so busy from morning till night To keep our family happy and bright? -My mother. My dear Mummy, I like the way you look. I like the way you cook Now what I really want to say Is “Be happy and healthy every day”. 7 About Dad: What makes a Dad. God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quite sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle’s flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity The depth of a family need. The God combined these qualities When there was nothing more to add He knew His masterpiece was complete And so, He called it … Dad. My Dad is a person Who is loving and kind And often he knows What you have on your mind. My Dad is a person Who wishes you well And keeps all the secrets That you want to tell. He’s someone who listens, Suggests and defends. A dad can be one Of your very best friends. He is proud of your triumphs But when things go wrong My dad can be patient And helpful and strong. In all that you do A dad’s love plays a part. There is always a place for him Deep in my heart. And each year that passes I’m even more glad More grateful and proud Just to call him my Dad! 8.What We Do Together Is Easy to do We are a friendly family And help each other too Because what we do together Is easy and funny to do.
