EXTRA-CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
A GUEST IN A HOUSE IS A JOY FOR THE HOST
(quiz about the rules of hospitality for children and their parents)
The recording features the musical theme of the song “Surprise” from the t/f “Dunno from Our Yard” by composer M. Minkov.
A choreographic theatrical picture “Come and visit us!” is played out on the site. There are: hospitable hosts, guests, a “Surprise” box, gifts, balloons and other elements appropriate for receiving guests. This picture ends with a photo for memory. Everyone freezes for a second, taking various interesting poses. Then screens appear on the stage on both sides depicting a festively decorated hall, ready to receive guests. The screens, moving, cover the mise-en-scène “Photograph for memory”. Señor Etiquette appears on the stage, he has a photograph in his hands, he looks at it and smiles, then turns to the viewer.
Senor Etiquette. Friends, answer me one question. Do you like to visit?
Children's answer.
Senor Etiquette. You answered correctly, because everyone loves to visit: both girls and boys. In fact, what could be better than meeting with friends, dancing, watching a movie, listening to a new cassette or disc, and sharing joy with each other. At a party you can meet a variety of people. And it’s so nice when, upon seeing you, someone is happy and smiles warmly.
Memories of a pleasant time spent give us pleasure for a long time.
So, as you understand, today we have a quiz dedicated to hospitality!
Dear children, dear parents! Today you have to show off your knowledge in receiving guests and, in my opinion, it seems to me that you will definitely succeed! Let the strongest win!
A drum roll sounds.
I ROUND
1. How should you visit your friends, girlfriends, acquaintances? (Only if you are invited. You can enter without an invitation only in extremely rare cases.)
2. What to do if you still really want to see your friend, but there is no invitation yet? (Agree in advance with a friend about a meeting, warn about your visit.)
3. Why can’t you come to your friends’ houses without an invitation? (Any person can have his own affairs.)
4. What should you do when you receive an invitation to come visit? (Thank you immediately.)
5. What is the best way to dress for a visit? (It is better to show up in your smartest suit.)
6. What proverb talks about gifts? (“A gift is not precious, but love is precious.”)
7. Is it possible to ask a friend what to give him? (No, you shouldn’t. It’s better to find out and find out in a normal conversation what your friend will like.)
8. What needs to be done when giving a gift? (Saying a few warm words to a friend is not a silent gift.)
Senior Etiquette (after the first round). Well, friends, we have already become a little oriented in the science called “Hospitality”. I think that our quiz will not only be remembered for a long time, but, above all, it will bring you considerable benefit. Well, we would also like to give you a musical gift! Meet and receive a gift!

II ROUND
1. How punctual is it necessary to come to visit? (You need to arrive at a strictly designated time; if you are late, the delay should not exceed 15–20 minutes.)
2. How should you behave at a party when you come to a company that is not entirely familiar to you? (First you need to say hello to the owners of the house, and then wait until they introduce you to the guests, and you to the guests. If you know the people present, you need to greet them with a slight general bow and say: “Hello!” You can greet each individually, first with women, starting with the oldest, and then with men - in the same order.)
3. How to behave properly when visiting? (Remember that every human movement, gesture speaks in body language. It is to a certain extent unconscious, but in no case uncontrollable. You need to watch yourself as you move, sit, stand. Hands must be free. You should not hide them in pockets or waving them, gesturing during a conversation. You should not grimace and laugh loudly if you are not funny and pretend to be surprised when you are not surprised at all. It is tactless and unwise to try to attract attention to your person by shouting down your interlocutors. A person needs to be listened to before end, without interrupting. It is not good to be overly loose or overly gloomy and silent when visiting. If among the guests there is a person who is unpleasant to you, you need to behave with restraint and tact towards him, you should not be falsely polite to him. A well-mannered person is always polite, everywhere and with everyone.)
4. When do guests go to the festive table? (After the invitation: “Please come to the table!” and sit down in the place indicated by the hosts.)
5. How to sit at the table correctly? (You should not sit at the table sideways or cross your legs. This is uncomfortable and impolite towards others. You should not sit bent over at the table, with your head pulled into your shoulders. You need to straighten your shoulders, sit straight and freely. You need to behave in such a way that those around you comfortable in your company.)
6. If you were offered this or that treat, how should you behave? (We do not refuse the treat that the hostess has prepared. A well-mannered person will eat every dish offered to him.)
7. When and how should you get up from the table? (It is impolite to leave the table until everyone has finished eating.)
8. Describe proper behavior when leaving guests. (When leaving, say goodbye to your hosts, thank them for a great time, and then you can get dressed.)
9. How to behave if you still didn’t like your visit? (Do not tell your friends about this, as this is tactless towards the owners of the house; they probably tried to do everything to receive you better and did it as best they could and as best they could.)
Senior Etiquette (appearing after the 2nd round). Well, friends, with the help of a quiz we got acquainted with the basic norms and rules of conduct when visiting guests, and now, after a musical break, we will remember how to properly receive guests at our place!
The creative team is performing.
III ROUND
1. How to properly invite guests to your place? (A few days before the celebration. When inviting, be sure to indicate the reason why this celebration is being held. If it is just a party, then after consulting with your family, you invite the day before or on the day of the meeting. You can invite guests by phone, in writing or in person. If this You don’t know the person well; it’s better to invite him in writing or in person.)
2. Tell us about the rules for welcoming guests. (We greet guests warmly, with a smile, help them undress, show them to the room and make them sit more comfortably.)
3. What needs to be done to make people initially pleasant to visit you? (We introduce the guests to each other. A timid guest can be introduced to a more relaxed interlocutor or, at worst, you can invite the guest to look through, for example, one of your collections.)
4. How should guests be entertained? (Based on the interests of the people who should come to you, prepare CDs, tapes, come up with games and ideas with surprises that will be pleasant for the guests. You need to try to start a general interesting conversation in which everyone can take part.)
5. How to behave towards guests during the celebration (party)? (Do not give special attention to anyone, take care of everyone. The wishes of the guests are the law for the owner. The owner must be able to guess the wishes of the guests and, to the extent possible, fulfill them. Whatever happens, do not show your bad mood or dissatisfaction.)
6. Describe table manners. (The host usually sits down at the table first. He begins to eat after the guests. During the meal, a good host quietly makes sure that the guests’ plates are not empty. But he does not force food on the guests too persistently and annoyingly. Your hospitality should be such that the guest, being confident in your desire to feed him to the full, he felt at ease and ate with pleasure.)
7. How to behave properly when guests leave? (It is the responsibility of the host to escort each guest to the door and help him get dressed. If necessary, order a taxi for the guests.)
Senor Etiquette. So, friends, this was our last hospitality tour. After a while we will find out the names of the winners of our quiz, but for now watch a short concert.
There are numbers of creative teams. The jury sums up the results of the quiz.

Senor Etiquette. I think that our meeting today brought you not only many pleasant and interesting minutes, but also a lot of useful information. See you again, friends!
Summary of educational lesson
1. Everything is in your hands (eastern parable)A long time ago, in an ancient city there lived a Master, surrounded by disciples. The most capable of them once thought: “Is there a question that our Master could not answer?” He went to a flowering meadow, caught the most beautiful butterfly and hid it between his palms. The butterfly clung to his hands with its paws, and the student was ticklish. Smiling, he approached the Master and asked:
- Tell me, what kind of butterfly is in my hands: alive or dead?
He held the butterfly tightly in his closed palms and was ready at any moment to squeeze them for the sake of his truth.
Without looking at the student’s hands, the Master answered:
- All in your hands. 2. Choice
There is very little time left and you will graduate from school. Ahead lies life with all its joys and problems. You are now faced with a difficult question: “How to build your life further?” You need to decide on the choice of profession, learn to build relationships with people, understand what you want to achieve in life - You know that every person has freedom of choice. And this choice should be reasonable.
Choice exists every day, every minute. Equal in severity, unequal in consequences. To step or not to step? Keep silent or answer? To endure or not to endure? To overcome or to retreat? Yes or no? Every day and every minute we make a choice about what to be: honest or deceitful, brave or cowardly, lazy or hardworking? And what we choose is what we will reap.
Parable "What is life"
(student tells) -The old grandfather explains to his little grandson what life is. OLD MAN: “You see, life is a constant struggle between two wolves inside you. One wolf represents fear, hatred, evil, hostility. And the second wolf personifies love, respect, kindness, joy.” GRANDSON: “And which wolf wins in the end?” OLD MAN: “The one you feed...”
Strange things are happening in this world: on the one hand, we boast about the achievements of science and technology, and on the other, we are forced to talk about immoral and shameful actions that should not take place in life. -It’s good when a person hears the voice of his heart, the most accurate and impartial witness of our actions.

4. Martynov’s poem “Trace”:
And you? Entering any houses - And gray ones, And blue ones, Entering steep stairs, Entering apartments flooded with light, Listening to the ringing of keys And giving an answer to the question, Say: What trace will you leave? A trace so that they can wipe the parquet and look askance at the trace, or an invisible lasting trace in someone else's soul for many years?
