for children 5-7 years old
Introduction. Children, there will soon be a wonderful holiday "Christmas". What kind of holiday is this (listen to the children's answers). Add - houses are decorated with beautiful Christmas trees with toys, snowflakes are made, and gifts are given to each other. Soon you will receive a gift from mom and dad (show a picture of a Christmas tree and children or prepare a Christmas tree yourself). What do you want your parents to give you?

Read the verse to the children.

Christmas means you have to
Forgive everyone as Jesus forgave!
Bible story. The birth of Jesus was described in the Bible (show the children's Bible to the children).
Take a baby doll to class, wrap it in a blanket and pick it up. Or show a picture.“Many, many years ago, a little boy was born, a baby named Jesus. He was special. He was God and man at the same time. He was born to help people, save them from sins. God loves you and every person on earth."
How many of you have little brothers and sisters? Look, the baby has just been born. He still does not know how to talk, walk, eat like an adult. He is small and helpless. Mom and dad take care of him. Small children are carried in their arms or carried in strollers.
Little Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem, far from the city of Moscow, where we live. This city is in Israel. Maybe someone rested there with their parents? This country is very far from us. The winter there is short, there is almost no snow, and the summer is very hot. Palm trees grow there.
So, the mother of Jesus was called Mary, and the father was Joseph. (show fig. No. 2). At that time, people dressed differently than your moms and dads. Mary rides on a donkey to the city of Bethlehem, and Joseph walks beside her. It's hard for her, because she is due to have a baby soon. The place where he was born is called a barn, where they kept pets (show picture number 3, name the animals).
How did this happen and what was surprising about the birth of Jesus? One of the miracles - an unusual star appeared in the sky. She was very bright and beautiful, different from other stars. Children, have you seen the stars in the sky (listen to children's answers). The star that appeared in the sky showed the way to the wise men who wanted to see the baby Jesus and give Him gifts. They traveled for a long time through deserts and mountains. At that time, people rode camels. When the sages met the baby, they were happy and gave him gifts.
Another miracle happened when the shepherds saw angels in heaven. Shepherds are those who tend the sheep (show picture #4). At night they saw many angels praising God, saying "Hallelujah!" and sang songs. Angels (show picture) serve God and help people. They also take care of each of you.
Play the song "Jesus is the name of all above" or sing it yourself. Let's imagine that together with the angels we are praising Jesus, we will sing this song.
Jesus is the name of all above
Wonderful Savior, glorious Lord.
Emmanuel - God is with us forever
Liberator, forever alive.
Prayer. Read the prayer "Our Father" with the children. Ask the children to stand and pray in silence. First, the adult says two words, then all the children repeat together until you read the entire prayer.
Our Father who art in heaven!
hallowed be thy name;
let your kingdom come;
may Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
give us our daily bread this day;
and forgive us our debts,
just as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom
and power and glory forever. Amen.
Rebus. Divide the group into teams of 2 people. Give each team an envelope with the letters O E F R D S W T O. They have to guess what the word is (Christmas).
Ask questions to children
Where is baby Jesus pictured?
- Where is his mother?
- What was her name?
- Show me an angel
Who gave gifts to Jesus?
What did people see unusual in the sky?
If the children cannot answer these questions, you can help them.
Crafts. On the feast of the Nativity of Christ, people give gifts to each other. Now we will make gifts for our moms and dads (Fig. No. 6). Prepare in advance carved figures for children - a Christmas tree, angels, stars (instead of candles), figures of Mary, Joseph and the Baby. You can make angels (fig. 7 and 8) or a garland of stars (for each garland you need from 5 to 10 stars of different colors, cut them out in advance, then glue them to the thread with tape).

The teacher reads a poem by A. Fet
The night is quiet. On firm ground unsteady
The southern stars tremble.
Mother's eyes with a smile
Quiet looking into the manger.
No ears, no superfluous eyes,
Here the roosters crowed -
And for the angels in the highest
Shepherds praise God.
The manger quietly shines in the eyes,
Illuminated face of Mary.
Star choir to another choir
Hearing quivering pricked.
And above Him burns high
That star of distant countries:
With her are the kings of the East
Gold, myrrh and Lebanon.
Today I want to introduce you to the legend of E. Ivanovskaya. You will learn about why people - Christians began to decorate the Christmas tree.
"The legend of the first Christmas tree» E. Ivanovskaya
When the little one was born Christ, and the Virgin Mary, swaddled, laid Him in a simple manger for hay, Angels flew down from heaven to look at Him. Seeing how simple and miserable the cave and the manger were, they whispered softly to each other. friend:
Does he sleep in a cave in a simple manger? No, that's not possible! Need to decorate cave: let it be as beautiful and elegant as possible - after all, Sam sleeps in it Christ!
And then one Angel flew to the south to look for something to decorate the cave with. It is always warm in the south, and flowers are always in bloom. The angel picked up a lot of scarlet, like the dawn, roses; lilies white as snow; cheerful hyacinths, azaleas; scored tender mimosas, magnolias, camellias; I also plucked several large yellow lotuses. And he brought all these flowers to the cave.
Another Angel flew north. But it was winter there. Fields and forests are covered with a heavy cover of snow. And the Angel, not finding any flowers, wanted to fly back. Suddenly he saw a sadly green fir-tree in the midst of the snow, whispered:
Perhaps nothing that this tree is so simple. Let it, the only one of all the plants of the north, look at the little Christ.
And he took with him a modest northern Christmas tree. How beautiful and elegant it became in the cave when the walls, the floor and the manger were decorated with flowers! Flowers looked curiously into the manger where he slept Christ and whispered to a friend friend:
Ts. Quiet! He fell asleep!
The little Christmas tree saw such beautiful flowers for the first time and was sad.
Oh, - she said sadly, - why am I so ugly and unpretentious. How happy all those wonderful flowers must be! And I have nothing to dress myself with on such a holiday, there is nothing to decorate the cave with.
And she wept bitterly. When the Virgin Mary saw this, She felt sorry for the Christmas tree. And she thought:
It is necessary that everyone rejoice on this day, it is not necessary that this Christmas tree be sad.
And She smiled and made a sign with her hand. And then it happened miracle: a bright star quietly descended from the sky and adorned the top of the Christmas tree. And others followed her and decorated the rest of the branches. How suddenly it became light and cheerful in the cave! Woke up from a bright light small Christ sleeping in a manger, and, smiling, reached out to the sparkling Christmas tree.
And the flowers looked at her with surprise and whispered to each other. friend:
Oh, how pretty she has become! Isn't she more beautiful than all of us? And the Christmas tree felt quite happy. Since then, people decorate every year on Christmas Christmas trees for young children in memory of the first Christmas tree - the one that was decorated with real stars from the sky.

Quarrel and get angry
You need to forgive everyone around
Pray to God.
Let's say kind words
We are each other again.
Hello Christmas holiday
Christmas!
What holiday are we talking about today? (About the Nativity of Christ). (Slide 1)
IV. Teacher's story, work with slides.
The birth of children is always an important and joyful event in people's lives. Relatives and friends congratulate happy parents, give gifts, wish health to the born child. All people love their birthday and celebrate it every year.
But the Nativity of Christ has become the most important event for all mankind, therefore people of the whole world not only celebrate this day, but also the modern chronology is from the Nativity of Christ. So, according to the current year, you can determine how many years ago the Savior of the world was born.
Who can say how many years have passed since the birth of Jesus?
(A trained student speaks)
The chronology from the Nativity of Christ was introduced in Rus' by the Decree of Peter I of December 15, 1699 (7207). Prior to this, the reckoning was conducted from the Creation of the world, and by this time there were already 5508 years.
(Teacher continues)
Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem. At this time, the Roman emperor ordered a nationwide census, so everyone had to enroll in the place where his ancestors lived, where his family originated. Joseph was from Bethlehem, so he and Mary went there. ( slide 2)
Many people gathered in Bethlehem, the hotels were overflowing with visitors, and there was no place in them for Mary and Joseph. They found shelter outside the city in a den - a cave that was used to drive cattle. Here the greatest event in the history of mankind took place - the Savior of the world was born. ( slide 3)
(The slide show is accompanied by a prepared student's story)
We know many icons dedicated to this holiday. Always in the center of such an icon is depicted the Infant lying in a manger, next to it are the Most Holy Theotokos and Righteous Joseph.
Usually, angels are depicted praising the Nativity of the Savior, who came to bow to the Lord and the Most Pure Virgin Mary, and the Magi going to the place of the Nativity of Christ with gifts to the Infant. ( slide 4, Slide )
(The teacher continues.)
On the same night, the Angel announced to the simple shepherds about this joyful event. And they hurried to the indicated place to worship Christ. Entering the cave, they announced the appearance of angels and worshiped Christ as God.
V. Physical minutes.
VI. Continued explanation of the material.
The feast of the Nativity of Christ is called the “Mother of all holidays”. The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates it on January 7th. Listen to the Christmas troparion - this is a festive doxology: ( slide 8)
Your Christmas, Christ our God,
Rise of the world and the light of reason;
To you bow to the Sun of truth,
And you are led from the height of the East.
Lord, glory to You!
Think about why this is the most favorite children's holiday?
Now a little more about the holiday itself. It is preceded by a 40-day fast, during which we remember every day why we deprive ourselves of ordinary food and pleasures. The eve of the holiday (January 6), or Christmas Eve, takes place in a particularly strict fast: only with the first star you can eat wheat porridge with honey - sochiva. The hours celebrated on the eve of the Nativity of Christ are called royal, because Byzantine emperors used to attend this service. After the celebration of the Nativity of Christ, for two whole weeks you can feast on anything, even on Wednesday and Friday. These days are called Christmas time, or holy days. Let us be cheerful and happy on holy days, so that the light of our joy falls on everyone we meet.
People have always celebrated this holiday very solemnly and beautifully. What do you think is the favorite decoration of the kids this holiday. And this riddle will help you with this:
Who gets dressed up once a year? (Christmas tree)
That's right, but why the Christmas tree? And this is what you will find out now.

Winter nights are quiet.
Shepherds walked through the forest...
SCENE 1
Shepherds appear.
First Shepherd (referring to the Second Shepherd and pointing up)
Look over here - See? Bright Star!
Second shepherd (gazing up at the sky)
Where is the star? Until I see
I'll come closer to you.
The first shepherd approaches the second shepherd. Together they look up.
First shepherd
Here, look! Golden! It burns brightest! Holy!
Second shepherd
How it shines! How it burns! It's like he's saying something!
And about what? Do you want to know?
I can tell you.
Shepherds (in chorus)
Of course we do! Tell me soon!
Centuries ago, just like you
The star appeared to the magi
Like a sign from heaven: soon everyone
Arrive in distant Bethlehem,
Where was born in a sheep's manger
Savior of all human souls.
Trees, people, animals, birds
Come to worship the baby .
SCENE 2
Palm, Olive and Fir-tree appear.
Argued Palm, Olive and Christmas tree,
What a gift to bring them to the Holy Child.
And the Palm bowed to the beautiful Olive...
Palm (Olive)
Let's go and bow with them!
Stay, my dear sisters, -
I also want to bow to the Baby!
Palm (contemptuously)
Where are you with us, prickly Christmas tree?
What do you have? Only resin and needles!
You're better, sister, look at us:
Fragrant oil I keep inside!
I give my fragrance to the baby -
(Shows the hall a beautiful vessel.)
And he will be happy, and he will be glad!
Palm (picks up)
Yes, the Holy Child does not need Christmas trees!
And I will give him a cool leaf!
I will protect him from the heat -
And he will sleep in peace and quiet!
Oh yeah! I agree! You are right sisters.
I can't match your gifts!
An angel appears. Olive, Palm, Fir-tree surround him.
I came to you to resolve this dispute.
May you be better than boastful sisters!
(Solemnly proclaims, addressing to Elka.)
For your modesty I will exalt you -
And from now on there will be a wonderful custom:
Decorate the Christmas tree with toys in winter
And this is to celebrate the birth of Jesus! ..
Why was Jesus born not in Nazareth, where Mary and Joseph lived, but in Bethlehem?
Who was the first to know about the birth of the Savior and how?
VIII. Homework.

Children's answers.
Good news.
Long ago, there lived a girl named Mary. Her husband was the carpenter Joseph, a descendant of the great family of King David. One day the angel Gabriel appeared before Mary and said to her: "Rejoice, Blessed One! The Lord is with you; Blessed are you among women.". Of all women, God has chosen you for birth of the Son of God whom You will call Jesus. From that moment on, the young Virgin Mary knew that she would give birth to the Son of God, the Savior of the World.
Once Joseph and Mary had to go to the city of Bethlehem. And at that time a lot of people came there, and they could not find a place to sleep in any house. Then they found a cave not far from the city (nativity scene, where shepherds drove cattle in cold weather. Here Mary gave birth to her son Jesus Christ. There was no cradle for the Baby in the cave, and Mary put Him in a manger - that was the name of the cattle feeder. At this time, many angels appeared in heaven. They sang song: "Glory to God in Heaven, on earth peace and God's love for people". The shepherds heard the Angel's song. They came to worship Christ.
And before Merry Christmas a particularly bright star appeared in the sky. This star was noticed by the ancient sages (Magi). They followed the extraordinary star, and she led them to the cave to the Baby. The wise men understood that this was not a simple Child, but God Himself. The wise men of the East, the magi, found the way to the cave in which the Savior was born by the star. They came to worship Him and brought gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Children were given gifts. They built a nativity scene from snow. (demonstration of illustrations). And they also went, especially in villages and villages, to each other's houses with gifts and praised Christ, They dressed up in comic masks and clothes, took stars with a lit candle, took in their hands figurines of mother Christ with little Jesus and caroling. To carol means to praise Christ special songs - carols, in which they wished people happiness, health and a good harvest, People who praised Christ, sang carols, called christoslavs, especially tireless children were Christophers. For singing such songs - carols, treats were supposed. In every house they went into, they were sure to be rewarded with something, Do not accept Christoslavs was considered a great sin for the owner of the house, an insult to carolers and disrespect for traditions,

All the people in the temple light up (candles).
Breathing exercise "Blow out the candle"
On this holiday, it is customary to take care of the poor, the destitute, because the future king of the world Christ was born not in a rich palace, but in a simple cave, showing by this that the main value of a person is not in wealth, but in his soul.
Christmas It's a holiday of gifts.
