Dear friends!
Welcome to our party! Let’s speak about spring and our favourite activity. Today we are going to have an unusual party. We will have an intellectual game. It is called “The Cleverest”.
Your friends will encourage you with their songs, poems and performances.
Firstly we will see our spring show.
- Do you like spring? What does it mean for you?
Spring is green,
Summer is bright,
Autumn is yellow,
Winter is white.
- Spring is love and new dreams!
- Spring is miracle!
- Spring is something terrible, because I have to prepare for my exams…
- I like spring, because I hope to have nice holidays.
- What are your best poems about spring?
The Beautiful Spring
"I was here first," said the snowdrop: "Look!"
"Not before me!" sang the silver brook.
"Why," cried the grass, "I've been here a week!"
"So have I, dear," sighed a violet meek.
"Well," piped a bluebird, "don't leave me out!
I saw the snow that lay round about."
"Yes," chirped a snowbird, "that may be true;
But I've seen it all the bleak winter through."
"I came betimes," sang the south wind, "I!"
"After me, love!" spoke the deep blue sky.
"Who is it cares?" chimed the crickets gay:
"Now you are here, let us hope you'll stay."
Whispered the sun, "Lo! the winter's past:
What does it matter who's first or last?
Sky, brooks, and flowers, and birdies that sing,
All help to make up the beautiful spring."
Spring (to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Spring, spring is coming soon,
Grass is green and flowers bloom,
Birds returning from the south,
Bees are buzzing all about,
Leaves are budding everywhere,
Spring, spring is finally here!
Spring
So many flowers are blooming.
Petite little squirrels come out to play.
Really big bears awake from their slumbers.
Imaginative children enjoy a walk with their friends.
No tree is left standing without any leaves. So
Go ahead, jump for joy because spring is here.
- Thank you, dear friends. What spring holidays are the best for you?
Of course, Mother’s Day, All Fools Day, Easter and May Day holidays.
Russian people have Mother’s Day on the 8th of March. It’s a very important holiday of tender, kindness and warm wishes. But in America and Great Britain people celebrate this holiday in May.
This holiday has a long history. Many years ago England’s poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers.
Most mothers like to celebrate the day with family reunions. Many people send their mothers a card or a gift.
Sometimes it is difficult to express our inner feelings and we use songs. Let’s listen to our friends with their presentation of this holiday.
A RED RUTA
Words and music by V. Ivasiuk
Can you tell me the truth?
Where you've got such a magic,
I have been all these days
In the spirit of sadness,
Maybe somewhere in the woods
You have looked for the spell herbs,
You have found the sunrut
And have charmed me with magic.
Refrain:
Don't look for the ruta,
You don't look for it in evenings.
You are the only my love,
You are really one,
'Cause of your beauty
That looks like clear water.
Quick shiny water
From mountain hills.
I meet you in my dreams,
In the green oak-groves,
And for me all this seems
Sign of luck and the hopes.
And you don't have to bring
Me the blossom of hope,
That's because you forever
Stay with me in my dreams.
Refrain:
Thank you, dear singers. Now our friends from school will say the warmest words about the dearest person in everybody’s life – Mother.
Самая лучшая мама
Mom is such a special word
The loveliest I've ever heard
These words to you, above all the rest,
Mom, you're so special,
You are simply the best!
Лицо моей мамы
I know a face, a lovely face
As full of beauty as of grace,
A face of pleasure and of smile.
In darkness it gives the light.
A face that is itself like joy,
To see it I’m a happy boy.
And I have a joy that have no other.
This lovely woman is my mother!
- Our young guests will sing a tender song. It is for everyone. We will invite you to sing it together.
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Thank you for taking care of me
Thank you for taking care of me
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
I love you and you love me
We're a great big family!
I love you and you love me
We're a great big family!
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
Happy, happy, Mother's Day
(repeat)
- One more presentation in poetry for our mothers.
Mommy, mommy, I love you mommy
This is your special day
Flowers and presents
And breakfast in bed
Whatever you wish for
I'll give you instead
Mommy, mommy, I love you mommy
No chores for you today
Bear hugs and kisses
To show how I feel
I love you mommy dear
Baking, cooking
Washing and working
Making our house a home
Always helping
Care for my well being
I never feel alone
Mommy, mommy
I love you mommy
In all your special ways
So on every second
Sunday in May
We'll celebrate
Mother's Day

Oh, blow, ye winds over the ocean,
Oh, blow, ye winds over the sea;
Oh, blow, ye winds over the ocean,
And bring back my Bonnie to me
The winds have blown over the ocean,

Clementine (a song and a performance)
The participants will show a performance and sing the song.
Clementine
In a cavern in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine.
Chorus:
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine,
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Light she was and like a feather
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine.
Chorus
Drove the ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine.
Chorus
How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
Then I kissed her little sister
And forgot for Clementine
Chorus

The song: Tomas N'evergreen - Since You've Been Gone
Search and you will find there
is no reason
I can't convince myself to
let you go
I never promised you it would
be easy
It seems to me that nothing's
fair in love
Since you've been gone
Baby you've been on
my mind
Since you've been gone, how
can I go on
Since you've been out
of my life
Baby since you've been gone
I guess that I should
be alright
Since you've been gone, how
can I go on
Since you've been out of my life
I'm not so sure this is the
right decision
I still believe that we can
find a way
Girl why can't you see how
much I miss you
I'd wish you would come back
to me and stay
Since you've been gone
Baby you've been on
my mind
Since you've been gone, how
can I go on
Since you've been out
of my life
Baby since you've been gone
I guess that I should
be alright
Since you've been gone, how
can I go on
Since you've been out of my life
Since you've been gone
I can do what I want
I can go anywhere
Because now nobody
cares
Since you've been gone
I can hear all the songs on
"kill 'em all"
But I feel so alone
All I want is to turn you around
back home
Since you've been gone
Baby you've been on
my mind
Since you've been gone, how
can I go on
Since you've been out
of my life
Baby since you've been gone
I guess that I should
be alright
Since you've been gone, how
can I go on
Since you've been out of my life
Kwan – Shine
I can feel what you have inside
but you lie to yourself
look into my eyes 'cause you have it all
you know it too, so why don't you
do something about it baby don't deny
could you even try
break the wall to face it all
what can I do, for you to believe me?
for you to believe me?
Chorus(x2):
I can see the shine,
I can see the shine in you
I can see it in your eyes
so why don't you, do something?
You wont lose it baby don't be afraid
there will be a day, when is too late
you say that you don't believe in love
but love is already in you
don't wait too long there will be no sing
'cause deep inside of your mind you want to
or am I wrong? I don't think so tell me
what can I do, for you to believe me?
for you to believe me?
Chorus
Do something, do something,
about it do something, do something
Chorus
Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland – Say It Right
In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
Do you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me
I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonite you tonite
From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?
Stevie Wonder – I just want to say I love you
No new year's day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is
Is something true
Made up of these 3 words
That I must say to you
I just called to say
I love you
I just called to say
How much I care
I just called to say
I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No libra sand
No halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy
You Bring
But what it is
Though old so new
To fill your heart
Like no 3 words Could ever do.
I just called to say I love you
John Paul Young – Love Is In The Air
Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea
And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name
(Chorus)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done
And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
(Repeat Chorus 4X)
- Thank you, dear singers! You’re fantastic.
- Do you like comedies? I hope you do, so you will like our joke. Invite film stars!!!
If I were a rich man,
I would have 3 wives.
And with them all the time
I'll be very nice.
But another it can
Be so bad for me
Cares come on my way
Dear, God, help me!
Refrain:
It's not a trouble to have
Many wives.
But it's so awful
From some other sides.
Зульфия my T-shirt
Irons every day.
Sews Гюли and Фатьма
Cooks the soup for me.
Have 3 wives is so good
Not to say a word.
But another I mean
Better live alone.
Refrain
What we'll do a rich man
We don't know at all.
Should I have many wives
Or to be alone?
But the question like this
I can say no more.
If I were a rich man,
I would live alone.
Refrain (2 times)
- Our judges are ready to tell us the results. The winner(s) is/are …
The best congratulations!!!!! Thank you everybody!
Let’s sing the song which is known by every teenager. You can sing refrain together.
Selena Gomez & The Scene “Love You Like A Love Song”
It’s been said and done,
Every beautiful thought’s been already sung
And I guess right now here’s another one
So your melody will play on and on with the best of ‘em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold, miracle, lyrical
You’ve saved my life again
And I want you to know baby
(Chorus)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (x3)
And I keep hittin’ repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby (x3)
And I keep hittin’ repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony.
There’s no way to describe what you do to me.
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I’ve been rescued,
I’ve been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are… And I want you to know baby
No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that’s what you are
A song that goes on and on
Love you…like a love song…
- Good bye! Good luck! Hope for the next meetings!
