The Nativity House A boy named Hans finds himself in the mysterious Nativity House on the eve of the holiday. He turns out to be a participant in all the episodes of the Nativity (Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, Herod, the Magi).
Scenario for a New Year's and Christmas party for children This script is good for showing in a shelter or other children's institution where children are not familiar with the essence of the Christmas holiday. The matinee begins with the arrival of Santa Claus and other characters. Then Little Star tells the children the story of Christmas and shows how much better Jesus is than Santa Claus. The scenario contains several games and competitions.
Lucky Star Do you know why the top of the Christmas tree is decorated with a star? This is in memory of the Star of Bethlehem, which showed the wise men the way to the Baby Jesus. The boy Kolya learns about this from a village boy. Kolya wants to see the Star of Bethlehem on Christmas night. The sketch is based on the film of the same name.
Happiness The main characters of the sketch are several people. Each of them finds their own happiness in something. But it is easy to take away and destroy. The meaning is that happiness can only be with God. The skit uses excerpts from the film "Jesus" or slides.
Three trees and four gifts. Grandmother and granddaughter are packing gifts for Christmas. The granddaughter finds four unusual boxes, inside of which are a manger, a boat, a cross and...). Grandmother tells her the story of three trees, each of which had its own dream. It turned out that they all served Jesus. What's in the fourth box?
You can celebrate Christmas with a skit , it will be original and festive. On this site we have selected original skits Choose and Celebrate Christmas.
Scene "Christmas"
The scene depicts the courtyard of a small hotel. Two people are sitting on a bench: one of them is a merchant, the other is dressed as a craftsman. The girl peels vegetables. A little distance away, a boy sweeps the yard. The visitors speak quietly.
Merchant. It's good that I was able to stay at least in this hotel. All rooms are occupied. I barely persuaded the landlady to give me a room.
Craftsman. Why be surprised? Many had to go on a long journey because the Roman Caesar Augustus ordered a census of the population throughout the entire earth. Everyone had to go to the city of their ancestors.
Merchant. Yes, many came to Bethlehem for the census. The cramped conditions are terrible.
A boy approaches a girl peeling vegetables.
Boy. At least take a little break.
Girl. Oh, and I'm tired. I worked all day: either bring water to someone or wash the floors. The people cannot be counted. Some could not find a place for themselves either in the house or in the hotel. I heard that the hostess refused two visitors - an old man and a young woman, and they were coming from Nazareth.
Boy. It's very far away. That's right, terribly tired.
Girl. I especially feel sorry for her, she’s so young, and besides, she’s about to give birth. But I know they took refuge in a cave where shepherds herd their cattle in inclement weather.
One of the shepherds. Who is the owner of the hotel?
Master. Me, what do you want?
The oldest shepherd. I will tell you, master, what wonderful things happened to us. Do you know that there are pastures around Bethlehem? That night some of us did not sleep, guarding our flock. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared to us, and we were afraid with great fear. But the Angel told us: “Do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy, which will be to all people, for today a Savior has been born to you in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord. And this is a sign for you: you will find a Child wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
Young shepherd. So we immediately left our flock and went to Bethlehem.
Master. The savior of the world in a stable? Yes, that's enough of a joke.
Everyone quickly runs away from the stage.
The innkeeper, his wife, the girl, and the shepherds return.
Girl. Indeed, in a manger lies a Baby in swaddling clothes.
The shepherds bring in an image of the Mother of God with the Child in a manger.
Girl.
And there was a miracle on earth,
And there was a miracle in heaven:
Like the sun, it flashed in the rays
A star in the midnight darkness.
She floated over a world of tears,
And her light shone
And he told the poor shepherds,
That Christ was born.
And to Bethlehem the wise men followed her
They carried their gifts,
And they found it on the straw
They are the King of Kings.
G. Galina
Boy.
Those were the times of miracles
The words of the prophet came true;
Angels descended from heaven
The star rolled from the east;
The world awaited redemption -
And in the poor manger of Bethlehem
To the song of praise
Eden's wondrous Child has shone...

END
Scene "Christmas Eve"
The night before Christmas. The room is semi-dark. Only a small lamp under a greenish lampshade is lit. A boy lies on the bed, his mother sits on a chair next to him. The boy almost falls asleep.
Boy. How happy it is that tomorrow is a holiday, I will see a decorated Christmas tree, my friends will come, there will be gifts. It’s a pity: the snow never fell! It's so boring and gray outside.
Mother. Don't be sad, my friend. As the weather may wish, there is no snow. But it will definitely fall out and delight us, decorate the earth and trees with white fluffy decoration. Sleep!
The light goes out. Morning, outside the window it is light from the fallen snow. The boy is already dressed festively, he looks out the window with delight.
Boy. Mother! Have you seen this miracle! It snowed and just in time for the holidays! Here's a Christmas present!
Mother. Yes, it really is beautiful! How everything has changed! My soul became cheerful. Well, exactly like in Fet’s poem! Have I never read this poem to you? Then listen, and you will love our winter even more.
Mother! Look from the window -
You know, yesterday it was not for nothing that there was a cat
She sniffled.
There is no dirt, the whole yard is covered,
It has brightened, it has turned white -
Apparently there is frost.
Non-prickly, light blue,
Frost is hung along the branches -
Just take a look!
Like someone's tarnished
Fresh, white, plump cotton wool
I removed all the bushes.
Now there will be no argument:
For the sled - and up the hill
Have fun running!
Really, mom? You won't refuse
And you yourself will probably say:
“Well, hurry up and go for a walk!”
And how can there be such a winter holiday without snow? Do you know, my friend, that according to the signs of Christmas associated with snow, they determined what the harvest would be like and how many bees there would be. Nowadays we learn about the weather from TV reports, but in ancient times a peasant had to be very attentive to signs, his life and well-being depended on it. Christmas is replete with signs, rituals and customs. Therefore, the peasants tried to somehow appease nature, so that there would be a lot of grain produced and there would be a lot of living creatures in the farmstead.
Boy. How interesting! Tell me at least some of the signs.
Mother. Indeed, we can name only a few, unfortunately there were so many of them that it is impossible to list them, and yet how many of them were forgotten and lost. Well, for example, it was believed that if there was frost at Christmas, there would be a harvest for bread. But if Christmas is warm, then expect a cold spring.
Boy. Tell me, mom, it’s not just us in Russia who decorate Christmas trees, right?
Mother. Of course, son. And in other countries, for example Catholic ones, there is also a custom of decorating Christmas trees. To be completely precise, even in ancient Rome people decorated their houses with branches of laurel, juniper, mistletoe, and these are evergreens. People thought that these plants personified eternal life, because they did not shed their leaves and were always green. Germanic tribes also decorated spruce trees (or rather, Christmas logs). I can also tell you that in Catholic countries they not only decorate fir trees. Nativity scenes are set up there: they reproduce the cave where Christ was born and place there figurines of the Virgin Mary, Joseph, animals surrounding the manger where the baby Jesus lies, the wise men who came to worship him, and shepherds. And sometimes real performances with biblical characters take place on the streets on Christmas Day.
Boy. What do they serve there?
Mother. As in Rus', throughout the Christian world the Christmas holiday is celebrated with a particularly rich table. As a rule, this is a traditional Christmas goose or turkey. Many different pies, rolls, cookies, and gingerbreads are baked for the Christmas table. Of course, every nation has something special. In many Christian countries, they bake a cake and put in it, for example, a coin, a raisin, or a nut. Of course, the lucky one will be the one who gets such a surprise.
Boy. And the gifts, tell us about the gifts!
Mother. Well, needless to say, on Christmas it is customary to give gifts to children everywhere. Gifts are placed under the Christmas tree, in stockings hung by children at night (children, of course, hang them especially for gifts), and tucked into children's shoes.
And also, son, in all countries (both Catholic and Rus') it was customary to make sacrifices to those who are poor. IN medieval Europe There were boxes for donations for the poor. And there’s nothing to say about our hospitable Orthodox Rus'. Compassion for one's neighbor and helping him have always been characteristic of Orthodox Christians. Wealthy people calculated in advance how much food to buy for the poor people for lunch, and how much money needed to be distributed. At such dinners the poor, beggars and orphans were treated very well, and alms were distributed generously.
It was a beautiful holiday, solemn, one of the most beloved and revered in Orthodox Rus'. And it’s very good that we are celebrating it again.
Well, now enough talk, go for a walk.
The boy runs away.

Music. Village room. Marfusha is sitting on the stove. Mashenka sweeps the floor with a broom.
Presenter: Once upon a time there were two sisters: Mashenka and Marfusha. Mashenka got up early: she would pray to God, milk the cow, feed the chickens, clean the hut, and prepare breakfast. And Marfusha, you know, is lying on the stove, chewing gingerbread and stroking the kitten. This is how their day goes: Mashenka is busy with business and worries, and Marfusha is reluctant to get up from the stove. And it was on the eve of the great holiday - the Nativity of Christ.
Masha: My sister, Marfushka, don’t eat gingerbread, it’s Christmas Eve today. One day left before the saint's feast. Better yet, help me walk on the water. We need to have time to prepare it well and go to the Church of God for the all-night vigil.
Marfa: Here's more! No hunting! It’s freezing outside, and the entire path near the well is covered with ice - I’ll fall again.
Masha: My dear sister, for the sake of the holy day, help.
Marfa: Well, perhaps for the sake of the holiday and some treats to help...
Village street. Well.
Host: They each took a bucket and headed to the well. And at the well, the whole path was actually covered with ice. Marfusha leaned into the well to scoop up water with a bucket, but slipped and... splashed into the water.
Martha “falls” into the well.
Marfa: Oh-oh-oh! Help!
Masha: Don't be afraid, Marfusha! I will help you!
Presenter: Masha rushed to help her sister, followed her into the well.
Masha jumps into the well.
Music. Fairy, winter forest. Masha and Marfa look around in surprise.
Marfa: Oh, where are we?
Masha: Where are our buckets? How are we going to fetch water?
Music. Father Christmas appears with buckets and gives them to the sisters.
Christmas Grandfather: Don’t be afraid, beauties, you came to visit me, and here are your buckets. I, old man, wanted to give you Christmas gifts. I just can’t give them to you. Yes, you yourself, each for yourself, as you deserve, will take them.
Masha: Thank you, grandfather!
Marfa (to the side): What a harmful old man! I prepared gifts, but I myself said “I can’t give them”!
Father Christmas: But go straight, straight along this road, but don’t turn anywhere. And may your Guardian Angels help you.
Masha: Thank you. (bows)
Marfa (to the side): Why thank you, he didn’t give any gifts.
Father Christmas leaves. Angels appear, the girls do not notice them.
1st Angel: A kind word is a precious diamond.
2nd Angel: A harsh word is an ordinary stone.
Masha's Guardian Angel puts something shiny in her bucket, and Martha's Guardian Angel puts a stone in her bucket. The angels are leaving. Masha and Marfa walk across the stage, holding hands to music or a song.
Host: They walked for a long time, for a short time, but they were completely tired.
Marfa: We don’t know where we’re going. It would be better if we returned home. The old man deceived us, there will be no gifts. Oh, how I want to eat!
Masha: What are you saying, Marfushka, this was Nikola the Ugodnik, and in Rus' they call him Father Christmas. He is kind and will not talk in vain. But it’s too early to eat, be patient, you need to wait for the first star.
Marfa: Here's more! I’ll be waiting for some star when my stomach is rumbling.
Marfa takes out the gingerbread and begins to eat it. The 1st Angel and 2nd Angel appear.
1st Angel: Patience is better than precious jewelry.
2nd Angel: And the one who pleases himself collects stones in his heart.
The angels put them in buckets for the girls, some with a precious gift, some with a simple stone, and leave.
Masha: Oh, Marfusha, look! Who's coming?
Marfa: I don't know. Their horses are so shaggy and strange.
Masha: These are not shaggy horses, these are camels!
Eastern music. Three wise men come out.
1st Magus: Hello, good maidens. We are king-magi, coming from distant eastern countries.
2nd Magus: We were on the road for a long time, we walked through the desert, we were tired.
3rd Magus: Will you give us some water to drink?
Marfa: Here's more! It's a lot of trouble to lift a heavy bucket.
Masha: Of course! Drink for your health. And forgive Marfa, she’s not out of malice.
Masha gives a bucket of water to the Magi to drink. The 1st Angel and 2nd Angel appear.
1st Angel: To serve your neighbor is to receive a precious gift.
2nd Angel: If you don’t help your neighbor, you’ll put a stone in your soul.
The angels place a stone and a jewel in the girls' buckets. They leave.
Masha: Where are you going?
1st Magus: We are going to worship the Savior born on earth. He was born in the land of Judea. The wonderful Star announced this to us.
2nd Magus: Although He is still just a baby, He is the One before whom both heaven and earth bow.
3rd Magus: We bring Him gold as a gift, because He is the King.
Miro - because He is a Man.
Frankincense because He is God.
The Magi bow and leave.
Masha: Marfushka, are these really the same Magi who come to worship the Infant Jesus Christ!
Marfa: Oh, Mashenka! How interesting! I would also like to look at Him at least with one eye. This is probably the gift that Father Christmas was talking about.
Masha: But how can we find our way? Where to go next?
Marfa: Mashenka, look what this is?
Music. The Christmas star appears.
Star. Masha, Marfa, don’t be afraid, follow me, I’ll show you the way!
Masha: Yes, this is the Star of Bethlehem!
Marfa: How beautiful she is! But I didn’t want to wait for her.
Star (takes the girls by the hands): Do you hear: the star sings -
Hurry up there, there, there,
Where on the straw, among the mangers,
The one who is brighter than all was born,
Who is the most beautiful and wisest of all -
Savior of the world, King of kings!
The nativity scene is brought onto the stage.
Star. There in that cave, not far from the city of Bethlehem, you will find the Divine Child. All who come to Him this night bring their gifts. Even animals and plants. The birds sing their beautiful songs to Him. Animals warm Him with their breath. And the flowers give Him their wonderful aroma.
Masha: What will we give?
Marfa: We have nothing.
Angels come out.
1st Angel: Why not? Look in your buckets!
Masha (takes out precious stones from her bucket): Oh, what beauty!
1st Angel: These are your good deeds. You will present them as a gift to the Divine Child.
Marfusha turns her bucket over and ordinary stones fall out of it. Marfusha clutches her head and cries bitterly.
2nd Angel: And these are your affairs, Marfusha. What will you give to the Christ Child?
Marfusha cries even more. Father Christmas appears.
Father Christmas: What should we do? Will Marfusha really not get to the bright holiday of Christmas?
Beautiful, touching music sounds. Everyone takes turns, starting with Masha, and puts precious stones into Marfushino’s bucket.
Marfa (takes her hands away from her face and is surprised to see her bucket full of precious stones): Thank you! Please forgive me!
Star. Now let’s go and bring our gifts to the Christ Child!
Everyone approaches the nativity scene. Masha and Martha place precious stones at the nativity scene. Participants in the performance, at the director’s choice, read E. Grigorieva’s poem “Holy Bethlehem.”
Let's forget
And grief and sadness,
Born today
Baby Jesus!
He was born at night
In a cold cave
He was surrounded
Only birds and animals
Yes angels
Yes, shepherds and wise men,
Which means all people
And that means you too!
We stood on the sidelines
And together with everyone
We looked at a miracle
In Holy Bethlehem.
Everyone sings a Christmas song. They bow to the audience.
CHRISTMAS STAR
MUSICAL AND POETIC COMPOSITION IN THE GENRE OF Nativity Scene Performance
Three performers take part.
For the staging, you need a table covered with a beautiful tablecloth, three chairs around it, behind the table there is a wicker basket in which nativity dolls are placed: Mary, Joseph, little Jesus, the Sage, the Shepherd, an Angel, a Christmas star on a stand, a candle in a low candlestick.
You can use a soundtrack with classical melodies, poems (the composition features Boris Pasternak’s poem “The Christmas Star”, which can be set to music and sung if desired).
Three performers sit around a table.
There is a candle burning on the table in a low candlestick.
1st performer The holy solemn night descended to earth, promising to bring with it great joy to people.
2nd performer. It was on this night that the Virgin Mary (takes out a nativity doll depicting Mary from a basket and places it on the table) was supposed to give birth to the Divine Child.
3rd performer. But it so happened that Mary and her husband Joseph (takes out a doll representing Joseph from the basket and places it next to the doll Mary) were on the way, and the great night found them on the road... They decided to spend the night in a small shepherd’s cave on the outskirts city of Bethlehem.
2nd performer (taking out a Baby doll from the basket). Here a great sacrament happened - the Divine Child Jesus Christ was born (lays the Baby doll at the feet of Mary and Joseph).
1st performer (under musical soundtrack).
It was winter.
The wind was blowing from the steppe.
And it was cold for the baby in the den
On the hillside.
The breath of the ox warmed him.
Pets
We stood in a cave.
A warm haze floated over the manger.
2nd performer (taking out a star from the basket and raising a star above the table).
And nearby, unknown before,
Shy than a bowl
At the gatehouse window
A star twinkled on the way to Bethlehem
(passes the star to the 3rd performer).
3rd performer (raising the star high above his head)
She was burning like a haystack to the side
From heaven and God,
Like the glow of arson.
Like a farm on fire and a fire on the threshing floor
(passes the star to the 1st performer).
1st performer (placing the star on the table a little behind Mary and Joseph).
The growing glow glowed above her
And it meant something
And three stargazers
They hurried to the call of unprecedented lights.
The soundtrack ends.
2nd performer (taking out a Sage doll from the basket). And these astrologers were wise men from the East, or, as they were called then, magi. (Hands over the Sage doll to the 3rd performer.)
3rd performer. And so, when the Magi saw a new star in the sky, they immediately realized that the long-awaited thing had finally happened! (Hands over the Sage doll to the 1st performer.)
1st performer They gathered in a large caravan, took with them many gifts and set off for the Jewish land. (Hands over the Sage doll to the 2nd performer.)
The musical accompaniment sounds again.
2nd performer (to the soundtrack).
They were followed by gifts on camels.
And donkeys in harness, one small one
The other one was walking down the mountain in small steps (gets up).
And a strange vision of the coming time
Everything that came after rose in the distance:
All the thoughts of centuries, all dreams, all worlds...
3rd performer (standing up). The whole future of galleries and museums...
1st performer (standing up). All the pranks of fairies, all the deeds of sorcerers...
2nd performer. All the Christmas trees in the world, all the dreams of children.
3rd performer. All the thrill of warmed candles...
1st performer All chains...
2nd and 3rd performers together. All the splendor of colored tinsel...
1st performer The wind from the steppe blew angrier and more fiercely...
2nd performer. All the apples...
2nd and 3rd performers together. All golden balls.
All three sit down
The 2nd performer places the Sage next to Mary and Joseph. The soundtrack fades out.
1st performer It was night. The whole city was plunged into deep sleep...
2nd performer (taking out a Shepherd doll from the basket). Only the shepherds did not sleep. They tended flocks of sheep near Bethlehem.
3rd performer. Suddenly the shepherds saw an unusually bright light high in the sky. And from this light in white delicate robes a heavenly angel descended to them! (Takes out the last Angel doll from the basket.)
2nd performer. The shepherds were scared...
3rd performer. “Don’t be afraid,” the Angel told them. - I bring good news to all people! Go to Bethlehem, and there, in a cave, you will find a baby who is the Son of God! (Installs the Angel doll into the general row of dolls.)
2nd performer (placing the Shepherd doll next to the Sage). And they approached the cave, and entered, and stopped, amazed by the extraordinary miracle...
The phonogram sounds.
1st performer
He slept, all shining, in an oak manger,
Like a ray of moonlight in the hollow of a hollow.
They replaced his sheepskin coat
Donkey lips and ox nostrils.
All three performers rise and stand around the table.
2nd performer. They stood in the shadows, as if in the darkness of a stable.
3rd performer. They whispered, barely finding words.
1st performer
Suddenly someone in the dark turns a little to the left
He pushed the sorcerer away from the manger with his hand,
And he looked back: from the threshold to the Virgin,
(All three take the star in their hands and raise it high above their heads.)
As a guest, I watched...
Performers together. Star of Christmas!
SONG
A star shone in the sky,She told the secrets of heaven.And the wise men came to the mangerThey brought gifts to God.Gold, frankincense and myrrhEverything was brought in abundance.They gave everything they could,And they bowed.
What can I do
Should I give the Christ child?
What can I give Him?
How to repay for salvation?
What can I give for salvation?
Gold of the whole worldPeople bring idols.Is it only necessary for Christ?The mortal gold of the earth?They compose songs for heroes,Thrones are erected for kings.But Jesus, will he acceptHonors, glory and throne?
This gift from God is pricelessDon't pay for the whole universe.Jesus brought us freelyFree from tears everyone.I bow before the Child,I humble myself with a trembling heart.Tenderness, love I give,Your heart and soul.

Hello, friends!
Today we will tell you a story that happened on Christmas Eve.
After all, we usually all expect a miracle at Christmas.
And this story will tell us that you and I can do miracles ourselves...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

It's Christmas Eve. IN small town Children played happily in the streets.
An old shoemaker walked along the street, moving his feet heavily. Before entering his workshop, he waved to the children. Everyone loved the kind old shoemaker.
Entering his workshop, he began to work: sewing and repairing shoes.
THE SHOEMAKER'S SONG
I make all kinds of shoes, I sew at night so that everything is ready by morning!
I craft from pieces, I sew shoes, boots, in the morning everything is ready!
One two three four,
Well, again, again.
Five, six, seven, eight,
The new shoe is ready!
All I see are shoes.
It's not easy for me.
Early in the morning
I sew a lot, but I can’t become rich.
Still, I smile and do not lose heart!
One two three four,
Well, again, again.
Five, six, seven, eight,
The new shoe is ready!
The old man went to the window; he heard the loud laughter of children playing on the street. But his thoughts were far away. He had no family. And on Christmas Eve he was left all alone.
He sighed, took a leather-covered book from the shelf, and sank into his big old chair.
He began to read, running his finger over the book. It was a story about how the wise men brought Jesus gifts, the best they had. The old man scratched the back of his head, looked around his small room and thought:
- If Jesus came to me, what would I give him?
He sat comfortably in a chair, covered himself with his favorite warm blanket and dozed off.
It got dark outside and the children began to go home.( THE CHILDREN ARE GONE)
Not far from the old shoemaker lived a very poor family.
Mother and father worked hard from morning until late at night, but the money was barely enough to barely feed their family.
Christmas was approaching.
The children that evening, as indeed on many other evenings, were alone at home.
They didn't have a festive dinner, a Christmas tree, and didn't even have shoes to join fun games on the street…..
They thought sadly about the holiday, about their friends who were joyfully racing down the hill.
And it seemed that the flooded stove, near which the children warmed their bare heels, was also crackling sadly.........
- Everyone is having a holiday, the children are having fun... Will we have a holiday? The air smells so delicious of apple pies and raspberry jam.
- I saw through the window how other children had fun playing snowballs and sledding down the mountain. Do you think that if we tie old bags around our bare feet, perhaps then we too will be able to go outside, as if wearing felt boots?
- Do you think God remembers us?
(Mom comes in ….)
- Of course, children, He sent you His gift. . ( The mother lays out the small apples that were in the bundle in front of the children, the children gratefully inhale the aroma of the apples)
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2 SONG (child sings)
Shadows fall to the ground
A star twinkles above
We bow our knees in prayer
Before God in the silence of the night
And listening to the children's prayer,
The Lord sends peace
Let the night outside the window embrace you
In space with a mighty hand
No night terrors, no shadows
Nothing will disturb our sleep
My prayer, without a doubt
I believe He is listening
Shadows fall to the ground,
Everything fell asleep peacefully in silence
We bow our knees before God
In the arms of the night silence
Opposite this poor house, an old shoemaker was quietly snoring in his small workshop.
Suddenly a voice rang out: “Dear old man, you were thinking about what you could give Me, today I will come to you. I won't tell you who I am, but you will recognize Me ».
- Jesus will come to me! What should I give him? On this cold day He will want to drink something hot. I'll put the kettle on the fire. He will probably want to eat something. And I...what do I have here...fresh bread and soup. You just need to warm it up. When Jesus comes, I will seat Him in my favorite chair, give Him hot tea and feed Him delicious soup and fresh bread .
But tomorrow is Christmas! And he wanted to give Jesus something special.....
- I will make a new pair of shoes for Jesus. So! Although, what size is His foot? It is necessary to sew shoes of different sizes, then He will be able to wear those that will fit Him just right.
Song.
I make all kinds of shoes
At night I sew
So that everything is ready by morning!
I craft from pieces,
I sew shoes, boots,
Everything is ready in the morning!
One two three four,
Well, again, again.
Five, six, seven, eight,
The new shoe is ready! 4 times
While working, the old man heard footsteps approaching. He quickly walked to the window.
But it wasn't Jesus! It was a young man who lit lanterns in the streets. He was wearing an old shabby jacket and was simply shivering from the cold.
- How chilled he was! I'll give him my warm blanket!
- Hey, boy! Boy, come into the house!
The old man invited the young man to his workshop. I covered him with my favorite warm blanket. The guy stopped shaking, smiled and moved on with gratitude.
- It's okay, I have more gifts for Jesus .
- Isn't this Jesus?
The old man hurried to look outside. But it wasn't Jesus! These were children who sang Christmas songs.
The old shoemaker smiled:
- My dears, you sang so well, and you sang in the cold. Perhaps you want to drink something hot? Come on, I'll give you some tea.
He gave the children hot tea and waved goodbye to them...
- It's okay, I have more gifts for Jesus.
Before he could get back to work, he heard approaching steps again...
- It must be Jesus!
The old man looked out the window.
In the distance he saw a woman walking quietly with children.
How hungry and tired they were!
- Mom, I’m very cold, let’s knock on that beautiful house to warm up...
- Cheerful children's voices are heard from there, they are probably spinning around their beautiful Christmas tree, I really want to see their decorated Christmas tree.
- No, children, they won’t let us in... Be patient, we’ll get there soon..
- But my legs are very tired...
- Okay, let's sit down a little to relax....
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

- Let's go inside, don't sit out in the cold.
I'll feed you soup. Sit down baby. And fresh bread.
I prepared them for a special guest, but I'm sure he won't be offended... Help yourself, help yourself!
Meanwhile, the children in the poor family were going to bed.
We pray together one prayer
let someone remember us until the morning,
so that in the morning we know if someone remembers us...
Wrapping themselves in a blanket, the children fell asleep.
Meanwhile, in the old man's house, the poor woman and her children thanked the old shoemaker. They were full, warmed up, and with gratitude they moved on.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

- It’s okay, I have more gifts for Jesus!
Time passed, the shoemaker looked at his watch, it was already late. But he really wanted to do moregifts for Jesus!
Song
Tick, tick, tick, time flies so quickly, but it’s still not there, morning comes.
Tick, tick, tick, time flies so quickly, but it’s still not there, morning comes.
One two three four,
Well, again, again.
Five, six, seven, eight,
The new shoe is ready! 2 times
The old man kept looking out the window to see if Jesus was coming. But no one came. At dawn he finished his work. He made a pair of boots in each size. But Jesus did not come for a gift...
- Now what to do with all these shoes?
The sun has risen.
The old man decided to look out the window for the last time and suddenly...
his gaze fell on the poor neighbor's house,
a wonderful idea was born in his head,
he wiped away his tears
and began to collect all the shoes in a bag….
Leaving his workshop, he went to the poor house, quietly he made his way inside, and next to each crib he placed a pair of new shoes.
Then, just as quietly, he returned back to his workshop.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

He anointed himself in his favorite chair and closed his eyes... And then he heard the same familiar voice that he heard last night..
- Thank you, kind old man. I promised and came to you four times. I was chilled and you warmed Me. I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink. I was hungry, and you fed me, you took care of Me, giving Me the best shoes in the world. Everything you did for these people, you did for Me.
When the children woke up and found gifts, Christmas bells were already ringing in the air. Joyful and happy they ran out into the street..
The old shoemaker joined the Christmas ceremony. It was the most joyful, happiest Christmas of his life.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
At Christmas the earth sings; God has revealed the Savior to us.
What gift will I bring to the newborn King?
Know what you have done for people, everything is for the Lord,
Our Father is the Heavenly King of Kings, God of Gods.
final SONG
Christmas is perhaps the brightest and most joyful holiday of the year; it is not without reason that both adults and children look forward to it so eagerly. On this day, kids need to be given Special attention, explaining the importance and conveying to them the essence of this festival, so that Christmas becomes not just an occasion for fun, but a day filled with deep symbolism. If they are coming to you for Christmas and you want to please them with a children's party, you need to approach this responsibly.
In order to competently create a holiday scenario for Christmas, you need to take into account the age of the little guests, their preferences and possible food restrictions, choose age- and gender-appropriate entertainment in which the religious nature of the celebration can and should be incorporated. Bright childhood emotions, cheerful laughter and colorful memories of this event will serve as gratitude to you.
Create a magical Christmas story for children!
Preparing a children's party for Christmas
First, determine the parameters of the holiday in order to properly organize the table and space. Based on the age of the children, since it is much more difficult to monitor babies than older children. To ensure that the holiday passes without unnecessary incidents, invite no more than 4-5 children aged 4 to 6 years. If your guests are in the older age category (from 7 years), it is quite possible to organize a party for six or more guests.
Talk to the children's parents and find out if their child adheres to a sleep schedule - this will make it easier for you to determine the optimal time for Christmas celebrations. Discuss with your parents the approximate duration of the celebration. The best ending for the kids is receiving Christmas gifts, so prepare in advance (it's best if they're the same).
We decorate the room and create an atmosphere
For children's party they need space - unlike adults, they will not be able to just sit at the table for a long time. To make all guests feel comfortable, you need a large room without unnecessary furniture and fragile items. If you decide to organize competitions, dances or a round dance for children near the Christmas tree, take care of the musical accompaniment - prepare a track list made up of soundtracks from your favorite cartoons and themed Christmas and New Year songs.
Take care of a cozy festive atmosphere indoors Turn on music only for competitions, since not all children tolerate prolonged noise well. Don’t forget about decorations, because children pay special attention to them and love to look at them. Choose a place for the New Year tree: if the room is large, you can install it closer to the central part to conduct round dances. If the space is not so large, then it is better to move the forest beauty to a corner.
In addition to traditional balls and toys, you can hang gingerbread, tangerines and sweets on the Christmas tree, and at the end of the evening you can distribute goodies to little guests. Sweet gifts for Christmas are generally relevant, so stock up on a couple or three. In addition, decorate the room with Christmas paraphernalia - angels and wreaths. Hang colorful LED garlands on the windows and decorate the glass.
Christmas table for children
The Christmas treat for a children's party should be thought out especially carefully, after talking with the parents of the little guests about possible allergies to a particular product. Remember: babies should not be given fatty or fried foods. Do not prepare several changes of dishes, because not every child will be able to evaluate and try everything. It’s better to stick to proven versions of everyone’s favorite treats.
You can choose baked meatloaf, turkey meatballs or oven-roasted chicken. For snacks, offer children sliced cheese or bell pepper boats. The side dish can be limited to vegetable salad, mashed potatoes or French fries (this dish can only be served to older children). For dessert, serve fruit salads with yogurt dressing, marshmallows, gummies, cakes or pastries. As for drinks, it is better to opt for compote, uzvar, juices and fruit drinks.
When thinking over the menu, be sure to consult with the children’s parents When setting the table, take into account the fact that in food for children it is important appearance, so you need to approach the design with imagination. For example, cottage cheese can be served in the form of mini snowmen with noses made from pieces of carrots, and fly agaric snacks can be made from eggs and tomatoes. If the process of organizing a full menu seems too complicated for you, simply set the table with fruits, cookies, gingerbread, waffles, compotes and juices.
The main thing is to choose beautiful Christmas-themed dishes and colorful napkins, as well as place themed figures on the table. In the style of a winter holiday, you can even decorate glasses for guests: an inverted glass must first be dipped in syrup and then dipped in sugar so that “snow” appears on the edge.
How to entertain children at Christmas?
When thinking through the holiday scenario, consider the age of your guests. The baby’s attention will not be able to concentrate on one activity for a long time, so the fun should be simple, understandable and not too long. It would be better to discuss the games with the mothers of the young guests so that the baby has time to master them at home, in a familiar environment.
Be prepared immediately for the fact that the holiday may not go according to the pre-planned plan, because children's behavior is difficult to predict. Just try to react quickly and make changes to the script as you go. Alternate between quiet activities and active games so that children have time to have fun and relax. If a child does not want to play the proposed fun, then do not force him - let him watch how other children are having fun, stop being scared and decide to join the rest of the guests.
Plan to alternate outdoor games with creative activities Games and entertainment for kids
You can have fun with your kids at a children's party in the following ways:
- dance around the tree, simply moving in a circle or imitating the gait of various animals;
- sing a few New Year and Christmas songs. Tell your parents in advance which songs will be used at the holiday, and offer to practice them a little at home;
- perform a Christmas-themed puppet show. Choose a simple Christian scene and show it to the children, introducing them to the history of the holiday and Orthodox traditions in game form;
- play active games like “Freeze! Get lost!”;
- do it with moms. For example, you can make blanks for Christmas wreaths, prepare bows, gilded pine cones, tinsel, and invite children to create their own holiday wreath by gluing decorations onto the blank.
Games and entertainment for older children
For babies school age you can plan more complex entertainment. Offer them:
- take part in making a Christmas ball with your own hands. To do this, buy light-colored plastic balls, prepare rhinestones, stickers, markers and glue. Children will be happy to make their own version Christmas decorations. You can also offer to make your own Christmas wreath or decorate an angel figurine. All kinds of activities related to creativity are primarily aimed at girls;
- take part in the “Magic Bag” competition - the bag is filled with small objects, and the child must randomly pull out the object and, without looking, guess what it is. The person who guesses correctly can take the item for themselves, so buy a lot of small gifts of different shapes in advance;
- play "Who's Last?" The presenter asks each of the children to name a word related to Christmas. You can think for no more than 10 seconds. If there is no option, the participant is eliminated;
- organize a children's Christmas theater. Prepare the props, prepare a script for the Christmas scene and invite the children to participate in the production. It is best to assign roles to the actors in advance and rehearse the production at least a couple of times. You can show the skit to the assembled parents.
Introduce children to Christian customs in a playful way Christian scenes for Christmas
With children you can put the following simple Christian scenes(scripts can be written independently or found on the Internet) that will tell them about the acts of Jesus and biblical events.
- A scene about robbers. The story begins with the murderers holed up in a dark forest and waiting for the next traveler. The scene takes place before Christmas.
