Introductory conversation of the class teacher about Valentine's Day:

Among the ancient Slavs, February bore the apt name "lute". Gloomy, blizzard, sometimes with real severe frosts, sometimes with nasty sleet, this month causes us far from the most pleasant associations. But in England, America and other countries, the word "February" evokes cheerful and pleasant thoughts. And this is not at all due to the difference in climate, but to the fact that February 14 is celebrated as Valentine's Day, or Valentine's Day.

This holiday has no deep religious basis. Its history is unusually romantic, and this day got its name from the name of the Christian martyr Valentine, who was sentenced to death by the Roman pagans. In the III century. n. e. Roman emperor Claudius issued a decree forbidding people to marry. He believed that marriage kept men at home, and their destiny was to be good soldiers and fight bravely for Rome. The young Christian priest Valentine did not heed the decree and secretly married young lovers. Having learned about the "illegal marriages", the emperor ordered the priest to be imprisoned and then executed.

In prison, Valentine, deprived of sacred books, whiled away his leisure time writing notes to the jailer's daughter. Obviously, both the messages and the daughter were good. Young people fell in love with each other. Despite the cruel circumstances and imminent death, Valentine did not stop thinking about his beloved. Before his execution on February 14, 270, he sent the girl a farewell note filled with love and tenderness with a brief phrase “from Valentine”, which later began to mean eternal affection and fidelity. And the date of the death of the priest, who betrothed lovers, despite severe obstacles, and who did not see his own happiness, remained forever in the memory of people. His ashes were buried in the church of St. Praxidis in Rome, its gates became known as the “gates of Valentine”.

Later, the Church canonized him as a saint, and the lovers chose him as their patron.

Since Rome was still largely pagan in those days, for many, Valentine's Day merged with the ancient feast of the Lupercalia. It was held on February 15 in honor of the Faun - the god of fields, forests, pastures and animals - in a grotto on the slope of the Roman Palatine Hill. All the rituals were performed by Luperk priests, who sacrificed a goat and a dog to the Faun. After that, they ran around the Palatine, lashing the oncoming women with whips cut from the skin of a sacrificial goat, which should have contributed to their fertility.

According to legend, on this day, birds pick up a pair for themselves, and the forests are filled with ringing bird voices. Lupercalia was also a holiday for lovers, it was patronized by the goddesses Juno and Fauna, who favored women and marriage. There was a kind of youth festival. The girls threw beautifully designed letters into the vessel, and the boys pulled them like lottery tickets and thus chose their friend and girlfriend for the next year.

The choice of a couple by lot was widely used in its time. Papers with the names of marriageable girls were placed in a special box, from which they were pulled out by potential suitors.

In England, Valentine's Day began to be accompanied by the secret delivery of gifts and cards "with meaning."

The tradition of writing messages on Valentine's Day has survived to this day. Having written touching words of love to his beloved, Saint Valentine could not even imagine that they would turn into a huge number of love notes in verse and prose, serious and playful, from young to young and from old to old. After all, as you know, all ages are submissive to love! Ads in the newspaper, both with an expression of love and even with a marriage proposal, as well as playful, often encrypted messages, the key to which only the initiates know, became a kind of congratulations on Valentine's Day.

On Valentine's Day, the demand for flowers increases dramatically, especially roses. The custom of presenting on the feast of St. Valentine bouquet with a special message was borrowed by the British from the gallant French in the early 18th century. and reached the peak of fashion in the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). A young man in love expressed his feelings to his chosen one with the help of a carefully selected bouquet, where each flower had its own subtle meaning.

And yet the flower emblem of St. Valentine is considered a red rose.

The rose remains an open declaration of true love.

Soon lovers in Russia will begin to receive their "valentines", and in our harsh February we will feel the breath of spring.

It is probably unnecessary to explain why the accepted symbolism of this holiday is the image of the heart.

Two presenters appear on the stage.

1st host: What is love?

2nd host: Probably no one knows this except our hearts and ... the participants in our today's game.

1st presenter: "Tic-tac-toe" is a children's game, but today February 14 is Valentine's Day, so our

Tic Tac Toe is about love. And in the game, as you may have guessed, the beautiful half of humanity is girls...

Nine girls take the stage.

2nd presenter: ... the other half are young men.

Nine boys take the stage.

A draw is held: who will draw “zeros” in the cells of the poster, and who will draw “crosses”.

1st presenter: Where does love begin?

2nd presenter: From the ideal. She, after reading and watching TV series, decided that he should be tall, slender, handsome, tanned, smart, talented, witty, with a great future and a mysterious past.

A stereo recorder, a car is a must, a blue tile bath is a must. And to be young - from 30 to 70.

1st presenter: He is more modest in requests: living space - at least 30 square meters. m per person, the character, if not golden, then at least Nordic. In short, if not Venus, then Miss Uryupinsk by all means.

2nd presenter: And now the task: girls must draw a portrait of an ideal man, and boys - an ideal woman. We will draw the whole team, each of the participants has his own part of the general portrait. And what happens - an ideal or a caricature - we'll see.

Team members draw out sheets with the names of the body parts that they have to draw, take places on the side of the stage.

On the other side of the stage are easels. On a signal, the participants in turn run to the easel and

draw. It's not about speed, it's about quality. The winning team draws their sign in cell 1.

1st host:

We are together.

Late hour.

Silence enters the room.

How old are we all

The first date is on.

2nd host: The first date is the beginning of the beginning. The first date is unforgettable, especially the one that the teams will show us now.

Situation for girls:“Hot summer morning. Small lake. In the middle of the lake is a boat, there are two in the boat: he and she. They selflessly admire nature. Suddenly, water begins to flow into the boat quickly. The young man and the girl convulsively scoop out water, and it keeps coming. It’s a pity, but neither the boy nor the girl can swim.”

Situation for boys: “Beautiful summer morning. Sochi, you are far from the city, on the beach. Hot sand, warm sea. You are fine, you are sunbathing. Suddenly you hear a woman's voice. She says that her clothes were stolen so she can't leave the beach. When you turn around, you don’t find your clothes either. ”

Teams offer a way out of the situation and stage it. The winning team draws their sign in cell 2.

2nd presenter: And now we will talk about the secrets of happiness.

2nd presenter: We invite you to play musical football.

Teams will take turns singing a line from a song that contains the word "love".

The team that sang the song last fills cell 3.

The first players raise the hoops a meter from the floor, the leaders can also do this. The winning team puts their sign in the box with the number 4.

1st presenter: Love, where did you bring me? Of course, it’s not bad to relax in the Canary Islands, and I will certainly be there, I’ll just take a song on the road.

Leader 1: Let's do that.

The teams received their homework: to stage a clip of any song on today's topic. So, on board our ship...

Teams take turns showing clips. In this competition, the winner is determined by the number of applause from the audience. The sign is placed in cell 5.

2nd presenter: Often he tells her: “We won’t register, my bird, because there is such a fuss with divorces ...” But if he and she have already tied the knot, then this is already a real family.

1st presenter: Life in a family is not only love, but also complete mutual understanding and mutual assistance, it is no coincidence that the word “spouses” means “going in the same harness”. Nothing brings a family together like a joint business activity.

2nd presenter: The decoration of the family, the flowers of life are children.

2nd presenter: Do you remember: “Bayushki-bay, do not lie down on the edge”? It is necessary not only to compose a lullaby, but also to sing it using the relay method - each line by line - carefully passing your baby from hand to hand.

Whoever does it better will write his sign in cell 9.

While the teams come up with a lullaby, the hosts play a game or a quiz with the audience. After the lullaby is performed, the last cell of the table is filled, the results of the game are summed up, the winning team is awarded.

2nd presenter: Of course, you remember that today we have gathered with you to talk about love ...

About love at first sight, and maybe even at second sight... Do you believe in love at first sight? Me too. And in general, I think that love and school are inseparable things. After all, as a rule, the first love visits a person precisely at school age. What is love?

1st presenter: We can read about love from Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin in his novel. “Eugene Onegin”. We can learn about love from a school history course. After all, it is historians who acquaint us with the feat of the wives of the Decembrists, who abandoned secular life and luxury, went to distant Siberia for hard labor, where their husbands were exiled.

But let's not go into history ... Let's better turn to poets. After all, they sing of love.

2nd leader:

Love. We read about it in books.

Love. We couldn't understand this.

But little by little the boys matured And grew up to her.

We counted her to thirteen years old

A feeling that despises everything.

Consider fun competitions for February 14 for young people. Almost every competition provides for the division of participants into two or more teams.

Competitions for February 14 at school

Contests and games on February 14

Misunderstanding. This fun contest-game is designed for two - you need a guy and a girl. The host gives each of them a task so that the second participant does not hear it.

Spice up the party? Easily! And for this you don’t even need to hire a presenter, animators and other professionals in their field. You are your own professional and will be able to help your friends arrange a great evening on the occasion of Valentine's Day. There is nothing complicated here, especially since the new funny contests for February 14 for young people are very interesting and will help you organize and hold the holiday. Dancing, moving and comic - each competition is a small game with an unexpected ending. And so, let's study what is.

Invite a lady...

Living in a big city, you face noise every day. And it so happened that you are standing on one side of the road, and your girlfriend is on the other. You see each other, but you don't hear. How do you explain to your lady that you bought a ticket to ...
And so, the first competition is called - invite a lady. The couples come out. Guys stand on one side, girls on the other. The distance between them is 3-5 meters. The guys take turns receiving the task, and must show with gestures and movements where they invite the girls. And the girls have to guess and answer this question aloud. We mark the time for each pair.
Task examples:
- invite a girl to the cinema for a horror movie.
- invite a girl to the central square to the monument to Lenin.
- Invite a girl to cross over to your side of the road using the subway crossing.
- invite a girl to the play Romeo and Juliet.

If the task is too difficult, then you can use sounds. The main thing is that it was fun, and everyone did it.

Compliment for…

On such a festive day, you can not do without compliments. But speaking banal words and phrases is boring. Let's see which guys are the originals.
For the competition, you will need skating rinks with different patterns. For example, with a snail pattern, with a rocket pattern, and so on. Each guy in turn takes out one card, sees a drawing and comes up with a compliment to his girlfriend using this drawing.
For example, the guy took out a drawing with a rocket. He can tell - my heart beats as fast as a rocket flies when you're around. Or like this: when you are around, time flies by quickly, like a rocket.
If you took out a picture with a snail, then you can come up with the following: our love will be eternal, like the path of a snail from Vladivostok to Moscow!
Whoever can come up with a more original compliment gets a prize for himself and his girlfriend.

For attentiveness.

Three couples take the stage. Each couple stands with their backs to each other. It turns out that the participants in pairs do not see each other. That's great, because that's the whole point of the game.
When the couples turn their backs to each other, the host starts the competition. He approaches each couple in turn, and asks them to name the details of clothing, makeup, and so on from his loved one.
For example, he asks a guy from the first pair - what shape of earrings does his companion have? And then he asks a girl from the same couple - how many buttons does your young man have on his shirts? And so on, different questions for each pair. Questions are asked only on the details of clothing that the participants actually wear. For each correct answer, the couple gets a point. Whoever gets the most points wins.

Music of love.

Everyone knows that France and Italy are the most romantic countries. They are known for their music that disturbs the hearts of lovers. But not only in these countries, beautiful love music, the Czech Republic, Russia and other countries can also boast of their masterpieces.
In this competition, couples will guess the music, or rather, the country in which this melody was “born”.
Give each pair a whistle or something else to give a signal. A melody plays and if someone guesses, he gives a signal. It is necessary to answer to which country this romantic melody belongs. If the answer is correct, it's a ball. If it is not correct, then the couple skips the next melody.

Kiss for a selfie.

Either boys or girls participate in this competition. They must have a phone with a camera. At the command of the leader, the participants run to the hall or to another place and take a selfie. But not just a selfie, but with a kiss! That is, the guys run up to the girls, ask them to kiss them on the cheek and take a selfie. And the girls, on the contrary, ask the guys to kiss them on the cheek. Whoever takes 7 selfies with a kiss first returns to the host and shows the photo.

Valentine's Day is a very romantic and tender holiday. It is named after the Great Martyr Valentine, who lived in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

According to legend, he secretly married legionnaires in love with their beloved ladies, despite the prohibition of the Roman emperor on the marriage of his soldiers. Valentine was executed, but after a while the day of his execution became a bright holiday for all lovers (read more:). From year to year, now on February 14, all lovers congratulate each other.

In the USA and Europe, Valentine's Day has been celebrated since the 18th century, and in our country it has been celebrated only since the early 1990s. Each state has its own special traditions and customs of celebrating this day.

Valentine's Day in different countries

• England. On this day, it is customary to advertise in newspapers with congratulations. For example, the Times newspaper publishes at least 3 pages of such ads on such a holiday;
• Italy. On this festive day, it is customary to present all kinds of sweets to loved ones;
• France. Messages in the form of love quatrains are widespread;

How to make a holiday unforgettable?

Everyone needs bright emotions, and especially on Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day contests will create a fun and playful mood at any party. Both a corporate celebration, a meeting of a holiday with your closest friends, and even fun in a restaurant using games and contests will bring people together, and many even find their soul mate.

Of course, many contests on such a day involve flirting, declarations of love, compliments or fortune-telling about love. Everything should be fun, relaxed and easy, so as not to accidentally put someone in an awkward position.

When organizing a holiday on February 14, it is important to select in advance the most interesting competitive program and prepare the necessary elements for it.. Here are some fun and romantic contests to make the evening unforgettable:

1. Heart to pieces. For this competition, you need to take several large heart-shaped valentines and cut them randomly into 10-15 pieces. On command, the participant (or team) must collect a heart from these particles. The fastest one wins;
2. I love you. Couples participate in this competition. They must, without words, with the help of only facial expressions and gestures, declare their love to each other. The victory is awarded to the couple that makes it the most funny;
3. My light is a mirror - tell me. Only girls participate in this competition. Looking in the mirror, they should compliment themselves and praise their virtues. At the same time, you can’t think and laugh for a long time. Who will be more convincing and eloquent, he won;
4. Ball gown. For this competition you will need newspapers, a stationery stapler, clothespins, pins and scissors. Couples participate, and the girl is needed as a model, and the young man acts as a fashion designer and must “sew” a ball gown for his beloved. The more interesting the costume model and the faster the work is done, the more chances the participant has to win;
5. Who is more beautiful? For this competition, several bulky bags (according to the number of participants) are needed, in which various wardrobe items should be folded. Participants are blindfolded and blindly dressed up. The winner is chosen by the audience;
6. Where is your stash? Couples participate in this competition. Men are given envelopes with money (bills of various denominations, pre-printed and cut out). They must hide all the money on themselves (women do not see this). After that, couples unpack and women have to find a stash from other people's husbands. The winner is the man who managed to keep the bachelors and the woman who found the most money in the amount;
7. Give me a ring. This is a team competition. Each team must have all men and one woman. Matches are distributed to everyone (they are held with their teeth). The first player is hung on a match with a ring. Further, on command, the men must bring this ring to the woman, passing it to each other without the help of hands, using only a match for this.

If the competitions are prepared in advance, then the evening will certainly be fun and interesting. No one will remain indifferent to such a celebration of love.

Having holidays at school helps create a more friendly atmosphere in the classroom, but only if the event is well prepared. Today, February 14 is celebrated not only by couples in love, many schools organize festive events.

This holiday is especially interesting for high school students, since at this age love already arises.

How to spend Valentine's Day at school so that the event is fun and memorable? To do this, you will have to carry out serious preparatory work.

If a short extra-curricular event is enough for an elementary school, where children can be introduced to the stories of the holiday or have a couple of outdoor games, such as a relay race. Then for high school students it is worth preparing a full-fledged event.

Children should prepare in advance for the event. A bright festive wall newspaper is being prepared from each class, students can prepare skits, learn songs and dances. Older children can even prepare a large-scale flash mob in the school lobby or school corridors.

Be sure to decorate the school for Valentine's Day. You can use balloons, it can be in the shape of hearts, bright posters on which famous sayings about love are written.

Cupid Post

The most famous holiday tradition is exchanging notes with declarations of love. In order for Cupid's mail to work, you will need to install a box with a slot (like a postal one), and also select a couple of letter carriers from each class.

Anyone can put a message in the box, not forgetting to indicate the name of the addressee and the class in which he studies. Letter carriers at breaks check the contents of the box, selecting letters addressed to their classmates, and deliver them.

Organization of the evening

The holiday itself is held, as a rule, in the assembly hall. The event is divided into two parts. First comes the creative part, during which the guests of the holiday are offered to watch concert numbers prepared by the participants of the holiday. The second part includes competitions, games and, of course, dancing.

The creative part of the evening may include a variety of numbers. Of course, they must be thematic. Participants of the holiday can read beautiful poems about love, play scenes from famous literary works.

However, the second part is usually the most interesting for children. When choosing competitions for Valentine's Day at school, do not forget that a school evening is not a party in a club. It is necessary to take into account the age of the children, their possible shyness and the presence of personal dislikes and sympathies between students.

Thus, games for Valentine's Day at school should correspond to the theme of the holiday, but at the same time not have a touch of vulgarity, which is often present in competitions held at "adult" parties.

Games for children in grades 5-7

Children of middle school age usually take part in outdoor competitions with pleasure.

Each player is tied to the ankle with a balloon. A cheerful melody is turned on, to which the children dance, trying to keep their balloon intact, but at the same time burst the opponents' balloons.

The game is played in the form of a relay race. First, the children are explained that a heart pierced by an arrow is a symbol of love. Then the game is played.

The teams line up near the start of the relay, and at the finish line they set up a chair on which the darts lie, and a little further on the wall they fix a heart cut out of foam. Each relay participant runs the distance from start to finish, takes a dart from a chair and throws it, trying to hit the heart. The winner is the team that completes the relay faster and leaves more darts in the target.

Three or four people take part in the game at the same time. Players are given small mirrors. They should look in the mirror and praise themselves, saying how much they love themselves. The main task of the player is not to laugh. And it will be quite difficult to do this, as the people around will roll with laughter, listening to what compliments the player gives himself.

Each team receives a poster in the form of a Whatman sheet, which depicts the outline of a heart. And also a large number of small hearts cut out of paper. The task of the team is to make a face out of small hearts for a drawn heart, “draw” eyes, nose, smile, etc.

Games for high school students

For high school students, you can choose funny contests that allow you to demonstrate your erudition, acting skills and dexterity. Here are some games ideas for a Valentine's Day party.

This game is played on the same principle as used in the program of the same name. And in order for the competition to match the theme of the holiday, you should select songs about love for tasks.

This game works well for a relatively small company, it is suitable if there is an evening for one class. It is necessary to prepare notes with tasks - forfeits. To make it more interesting, notes can be placed in Kinder surprise containers, in glued empty halves of walnuts, or in balloons that will need to burst to get the note.

Each player chooses a task and completes it.. Tasks can be:

• give a compliment to a neighbor;
• list five famous couples in love from world literature;
• fold a flower from a napkin and give it to someone present;
• sing a love song, etc.

If the player cannot or does not want to complete the task, then he is assigned a "penalty". Options for fines will also need to be thought out in advance. For example, a penalized player can be asked to read a love poem or jump on one leg.

For the game, you need to prepare cards on which proverbs about love, phrases from poems and songs will be written. The facilitator explains the task to the players: “Often, lovers do not have enough words to be able to convey their feelings, so they resort to expressive body language and facial expressions. Each player who receives a card must convey without words what is written there so that the rest understand what it is about.

This game will reveal among the players the masters of giving compliments. Each participant must come up with a compliment for his beloved (or beloved if the player is a girl). The difficulty lies in the fact that in the invented phrase there must be a word that the player receives by drawing lots. Words for this game must be chosen such that it is not easy to make a compliment. For example, “refrigerator”, “hockey”, “puddle”, etc.

The game is played by dividing the participants into two teams - boys and girls. The task of each team is to come up with as many pleasant adjectives as possible that characterize the opposite team (examples: amazing, cute, beautiful, original, etc.). Compliments are pronounced alternately by each team. The team that fails to come up with another adjective loses.
