Oh, that's how it is?

Presenter:
Yes! Like this!

(They go backstage arguing. A girl appears on stage in a robe, slippers, curlers and with a frying pan in her hands. She bends her fingers while reciting a poem)

Girl 1:
I braided my daughter's hair,
Packed lunch for my husband
Gave Tuzik food
I made an omelet for my son.
Took my daughter to school
I took my son to kindergarten,
I gave my husband a tie,
I brought Tuzik!
And made a menu
I'll remove the stove now,
And then I’ll make soup,
So that your husband is happy.
Afterwards I’ll pick up my daughter,
And I'll take you to the dance,
I'll take a walk with Tuzik again,
It seems like I have time everywhere!
Oh, there’s still a son in the garden,
I'll go get him at lunchtime
I'll feed everyone dinner,
And I’ll teach you lessons!
I'll read a fairy tale to my son,
I'll hug my daughter tightly,
I'll put them all to sleep,
I'll take some time for myself!

(She sighs and leaves. A girl in a suit, with a phone and a business briefcase comes out in her place)

Girl 2:
This morning the coffee was burnt
My son didn't have time for class
I was stuck in a traffic jam,
I gave it to my son for lunch!
My husband forgot his keys
I need to get them
And also pick up the suit,
Give it to my son for school!
And be in time for the matinee,
And sit at meetings,
Conclude a deal quickly
And at least jump towards the end!
Need to order dinner
And also withdraw your salary,
Read to my son at night,
Give out instructions!
Need to iron my pants
Bake cupcakes and bring them,
I need to write everything down
To be on time everywhere!

(Humping into the phone, she leaves. A girl in a wig, makeup and a sparkly dress comes out in her place. Phone in hand, taking a photo)

Girl 3:
I packed breakfast for my daughter,
Took her to school
And I signed up for a haircut,
And I bought the dress!
Your photo,
I’ll upload it to Insta now,
I'll go get a manicure
I'll make it beautiful.
I'll pick up my daughter later,
I'll take you to English,
I'll drop by for some lipstick
I'll buy new shoes!
I’ll cook dinner, anyway,
More precisely, I’ll order pizza,
And I will feed my family,
And I'll call my friend.
I'll chat with her for an hour,
I'll tell my daughter a poem,
I'll sign up for a massage
And I'll buy myself a corsage,
I'll take a bubble bath,
Oh, I'm tired, I can't!

(Puts the phone away and leaves)

The Leaders appear.

Presenter:
You see how difficult it is to be a mother! How many things need to be done, how many things need to be done in a day! This is a lot of work, by the way!

Presenter:
You're right, I definitely couldn't. But, despite my loss in this dispute, I propose to conclude a settlement and continue our concert.

(After this they are awarded medals and flowers)

At the end of November, or rather on the last Sunday of November, we thank our mothers on All-Russian Mother's Day. Of course, this needs to be done every day, but on this day it needs to be done in a special way.

In honor of Mother's Day, schools hold holidays and special events.

We bring to your attention a holiday scenario for Mother's Day.

Mother's Day. Scenario

Scenario for schoolchildren “Everything beautiful comes from mother”

Teacher. Every year in Russia, on the last Sunday of November, Mother's Day is celebrated. What do we value most in a woman? What makes her a Woman? Beauty? Charm? Mind? Business qualities? Today's holiday suggests the answer - Motherhood. A lot of words have been said about mothers, a lot of unspoken things live in the hearts of each of us. It is important to have time to say kind words when mom can hear them.

Student 1. Our dear mothers! Today we invited you to a holiday dedicated to you!

There is no such day in the year

To look so much like you.

This day is special

Affectionate and warm,

Peaceful and beautiful

Kind and happy.

There is no end to different gifts

And in poetry words.

After all, today is the main holiday

All mothers in the world.

Student 2. Our dear mothers and grandmothers, we congratulate you! Each of us has a feeling of security and peace when our mother and mother are nearby. I will remember for the rest of my life how tenderly your gentle hands stroked me when I was sick. They were so cool, and when I opened my eyes, you were always next to me...

Student 3. Mother's love is difficult to describe. Self-forgetfulness, that is, forgetting yourself for the sake of your child, is the first and true sign of love. With grief and joy, we go to mommy and find understanding from her. She only wants the best.

Student 4.

When I was a child, my dear,

If childhood grief tormented me,

I came to you, and my crying subsided:

I fell asleep on your chest in tears.

Student 5.

How accurate are the words of Sergei Yesenin:

You alone are my help and joy,

You alone are an unspeakable light to me.

Student 6. The life of a mother is an everyday, sometimes unnoticeable, everyday feat. No one has revealed the role of the mother more powerfully and sincerely than Russian writers. All the pride in the world comes from mothers, without the sun flowers do not bloom, without love there is no happiness, without women there is no love, without a mother there is neither a poet nor a hero.

Student 1.“Everything beautiful in a person comes from the rays of the sun and from mother’s milk. This is what fills us with love for life.” “When a person can call his mother and soul mate, this is rare happiness.” So said Alexey Maksimovich Gorky.

Student 2.“Love for the Motherland begins with love for the mother. And a person begins with his relationship to his mother. And all the best that is in a person is given to him from his mother.” This is Yuri Alekseevich Yakovlev.

Student 3.“We will forever glorify that woman whose name is mother,” said Musa Jalil.

Teacher. Children do not always understand well what their mother means to them. They often see her as a person who cooks food for them, washes them, irons them, endlessly teaches them wisdom, allows something, forbids something, or forces them to do something. But a mother is also the person you can trust: tell you how your friend let you down, what ridiculous mistake you made in test work how remorse for the wrongdoing gnaws at you. Mom will understand everything. Sometimes we get offended by our mother, and we want this, and that. However, mother does not fulfill all our wishes. She doesn’t allow us to play in the yard for a long time, or loiter around... She only blames us when we quarrel with our comrades, and demands that we always be in touch. Sometimes it seems that mom is overly strict, angry, too demanding, and doesn’t allow you to take a step. But deep down, every child understands that his mother wants to raise him good person. There is no person in the world dearer and closer than a mother. Therefore, love her tenderly, take care of her, do not hurt her mother with your words and actions. Thank her for her work and care for you, be kind, sensitive, and responsive to her. Your mother expects constant care, attention, cordiality, sympathy, and kind words from you. And no matter how old we are - 5 or 50 - we will always need our mother: her care, affection, attention.

Student 4. With the beating of our hearts, the word “mother”, born with love, eternally beats within us.

It burns like a good star

Of thousands of words, a special word,

It does not age, the years do not diminish.

It is always both reverent and new.

Student 5.

Mom, very, very

I love you!

I love you so much that at night

I don't sleep in the dark.

I peer into the darkness

I'm hurrying Zorka.

I love you all the time

Mommy, I love you!

So the dawn is shining,

It's already dawn.

No one in the world

There is no better mother!

Student 6.

We can do a lot in the world -

In the depths of the sea

And in space too.

We will come to the tundra and hot deserts.

We'll even change the weather.

Student 1.

There will be a lot of things to do and roads in life.

Let’s ask ourselves: “Well, where did they begin?”

Here it is, our answer,

The most correct one:

“It all starts with mom!”

(Children perform ditties.)

Ditties about mom

Oh, thank you, mom,

What gave birth to this:

Mischievous, combative -

And she called her Natasha.

Just clean it once a year

I decided to frying pan

And then four days

They couldn't wash me off.

The soup and porridge were burnt,

Salt is poured into the compote,

When mom came home from work,

She had a lot of trouble.

The lazy mother says:

Make your bed!

Mom, I would clean it up

Only I'm still small.

I found a broom in the kitchen...

And he swept the whole apartment,

But what's left of him

Three straws in total.

Vova polished the floor to a shine,

Prepared a vinaigrette

Mom is looking for what to do,

There is no work.

We stop singing ditties

And we always promise you:

Listen to you always, in everything

Morning, evening and afternoon!

(Competition “What proverbs about mothers do you know?”)

All(together).

We, dear ones, say “Thank you” to you,

After all, the earth is beautiful with the kindness of mothers!

Poems for Mother's Day

1st Presenter.

Everything in this world
Everything from mothers -
Baby crying
And the song of our days.
Flight to a star
Into the sky-high space
Her open gaze showed us.

2nd Presenter.

On the crests of the waves
We can see from afar
Isn't our mother gray?
Isn't it kindness
Mother's words
Do we feel in the glow of flowers?
All from worries
Everything comes from wise deeds,
From an honest heart,
From her kind hands.

There are many kind words in the world.
But one thing is kinder and gentler than all:
The word “mother” is a simple two-syllable word.
And there are no words dearer than it!

Reader 1: Who opened this world to me,
Sparing no effort?

And always protected?

The best mom in the world.


Reader 2: Who is the cutest in the world?
And it will warm you with its warmth,

Loves more than himself

This is my mom.


Reader 3: Reads books in the evening
And he always understands everything

Even if I'm stubborn

I know my mother loves me.


Reader 4: Never lose heart,
He knows exactly what I need,

If suddenly there is drama

Who will support? My mom!


Reader 5: Everyone should love mom,
Mom needs to be treasured

And come to the rescue

To make life easier for mom!

Day mother's holiday while young
But everyone is happy about him, of course, -
Everyone who was born under a lucky star,
And mothers have heartfelt care!
We are on the wild run of the city bustle
Sometimes we forget about mom,
We hurry, dissolving in the mass of people,
Getting seriously involved in things...
And mom is waiting for us, and doesn’t sleep at night,
Worrying and thinking often -
“Oh, how are they there?” - and my heart hurts,
And he groans and breaks into pieces...


" Mother".
Mothers have a sacred position in the world -

Pray for gifted children.

Both day and night in the invisible ether

The prayers of our mothers are heard.

One falls silent, the other echoes her.

Night will replace day, and night will come again.

But mothers' prayers never cease

For your dear son or daughter.

The Lord listens to the prayers of mothers,

He loves them more than we love them.

Mother never tires of praying

About children who have not yet been saved.

There is time for everything, but while we are alive,

We must pray and cry out to God.

There is an unearthly power hidden in prayer,

When their mother whispers them with tears.

How quiet. The birds have fallen silent in the yard,

Everyone had already gone to bed a long time ago.

I bowed down to pray in front of the window

My dear loving mother.

" Every day ".
Every day and every hour

I think about my mother.
Moms love us too

And they are proud of us.

Every day I want to hold

I'm in the palms of my hands

Her kind hands

Well, at least a little

I can do it every day

Wait until nightfall.

Because our mothers

Very busy.


Every day I want to give
Bouquets for mom,

Speak words of love.

How wonderful it is!

Every day, not only

On the eighth of March

Make it a holiday for mothers

It would be nice.

I wish I could dance every day

Surprise with poetry...

How I love my mother

You will understand for yourself.


Over the years, becoming more mature, my feelings are stricter.
Suddenly you begin to understand in your heart.
There is no person closer or dearer.
Than the woman whose name is Mother.
She is with you in joy and in sorrow
She is with you, even if you are far away.
And how much is hidden in her gaze -
Heartfelt, maternal warmth.
Hurry to her through years and separations.
To console her and hug her.
Kiss your hands with reverence.
That woman whose name is Mother!

How I love our mother!
I am omnipotent next to her.
The evil wizard is not afraid of her,
And Barmaley is not scary!
I laugh and mom is happy
Our union with my mother is eternal.
With my mother I am not only a toad -
I'm not afraid of the crocodile!
G. Rubtsova

If my heart is bad
And sadness sets in
I'd rather hide my tears,
I'll cling tightly to mommy.

Mom will hug you tenderly,
Kiss me on the nose
He will regret it and tell you
How she lived in her youth.

Is it mom's smile?
Or the warmth of her hands.
Mom's love warmed me,
My soul is at ease.

I'm bringing flowers to my mommy
Three red roses with a delicate aroma.
You will be happy, it means you are a mother.
You are always very happy to see me.

The dewdrops on the flowers shine,
And roses are asking to come to you soon,
And their intoxicating sweet aroma
Getting stronger and stronger.

Well, they came, mom opened the door,
I pressed the bouquet, my mother was all in flowers,
I love you so much, believe me,
And mom will only say: AH!

PRESENTER 1: There is nothing more wonderful in the world
And stronger than mother's love
What to compare it with? Maybe with a song
What do nightingales sing at dawn?

PRESENTER 2: Motherly kindness, beautiful
There is nothing more surprising
This world, in whose fate we are involved,
Warmed by mother's kindness
