NEW YEAR TRADITIONS OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
According to tradition, a New Year tree is installed in the house. In many countries they put it up for Christmas and call it a “Christmas” tree. Celebrating the New Year is a very important holiday in many countries and is accompanied by various events, feasts, and folk festivities.
RUSSIA In Russia, the New Year began to be celebrated on January 1 not so long ago - in 1700 by order of Peter I, and before that the New Year countdown began from September 1. Peter I moved the New Year celebration to January 1 and ordered all houses to be decorated with Christmas tree branches, and “to congratulate each other on the New Year as a sign of joy.” The era of Peter the Great brought a New Year tree with toys, fireworks, a festive table and Santa Claus, who was called Father Frost.
In Sweden, before the New Year, children choose the Queen of Light, Lucia. She is dressed in a white dress, and a crown with lit candles is placed on her head. Lucia brings gifts for children and treats for pets: cream for the cat, a sugar bone for the dog, and carrots for the donkey. In families with children, dads go out to take out the trash, and Yul Tomten returns in their place and starts giving gifts. And in Sweden, on New Year’s Eve, it is customary to break dishes at neighbors’ doors “for good luck.” SWEDEN
ENGLAND In England there is an old custom: when the clock strikes 12, they open the back doors of the house to let out the old year, and with the last strike of the clock they open the front doors to let in the new year. In England, in addition to the Christmas tree, the house is decorated with mistletoe branches. There are even mistletoe bouquets on lamps and chandeliers, and, according to custom, you can kiss a person standing in the middle of the room under a mistletoe bouquet.
SWITZERLAND Such unusual New Year's Clauses roam the rural regions of Switzerland - real walking Christmas trees with bells, wishing all the best for the new year. They sing and dance, and the villagers give them food, drinks or money. It is believed that a visit from such a Klaus helps get rid of evil spirits in the house.
ITALY One of the most interesting traditions of celebrating the New Year is in Italy. On New Year's Eve, junk flies from the windows of houses onto the street - from worn-out clothes and shoes to chairs and chests of drawers. Italians believe that the more old things you throw away, the more wealth the New Year will bring. On the first day of Christmas in Italy, the Christmas log is burned. According to legend, it is believed that a burning log should slowly smolder until the New Year in order to get rid of everything bad, to burn away all the troubles that happened in the house in the past year.
GERMANY In Germany, people of all ages, as soon as the clock begins to strike midnight, climb onto chairs, tables, armchairs and, with the last twelfth stroke, unanimously, with joyful greetings, “jump” into the New Year.
THAILAND Thai children and tourists douse themselves with water during the Thai New Year, which begins on April 13. At this time of year it is hot and people celebrate the holiday by dousing themselves with water. This ritual originates from the tradition of pouring scented water over Buddha images as a sign of purification. The collected "blessed" water was then poured on family members for good luck.
CUBA It was from Cuba that the ritual came to us: at midnight, with each of the twelve strokes of the clock, you need to eat one grape, making wishes. But the clock only strikes 11 times. Since the 12th strike falls right on New Year's Day, the clock is allowed to rest and calmly celebrate the holiday with everyone. According to another tradition of celebrating the New Year, Cubans fill all the dishes and all available containers in the house with clean water. After midnight, already in the New Year, water is poured out, thereby wishing for a clean, bright, clear and prosperous future.
JAPAN The Japanese always buy a rake before the New Year. Without them, celebration is simply impossible! Residents of Japan need small bamboo rakes in order to “raake” happiness with them throughout the next year.
But what unites all nations celebrating the New Year is festive magic, good mood and hope that the next year will bring only happy moments. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

“How the New Year is celebrated in different countries.” The presentation was prepared by teacher Kharchenko E.V.
New Year is a magical holiday celebrated all over the world. We all know and honor the traditions of celebrating the New Year in our country, but other countries of the world have their own traditions, many of which are very unusual and interesting, I will tell you about them.
Residents of India decorate themselves with white, pink, red and purple flowers, and their homes with orange flags. In India, small lights are lit on the roofs of houses; gifts for children are placed on a special tray. In the morning, the children close their eyes and are brought to this tray.
In Ireland, on the evening before the New Year, the doors of houses open wide; anyone who wishes can enter any house and become a welcome guest there. He will be seated in a place of honor and given a treat, not forgetting to say: “For peace in this house and in the whole world!” At half past twelve, the Irish go out to the central square, sing, dance, and have fun.
In Italy, on New Year's Eve, no one is surprised if someone gets rid of unnecessary things. Old flower pots, unnecessary furniture, clothes and trinkets fly right out of the window. Italians believe that the more things left on the street, the more luck and money a generous New Year will bring.
In Cuba, before the New Year, everyone fills glasses with water, and when the clock strikes twelve, they splash it through the open windows onto the street. This means that the old New Year has ended happily and Cubans wish each other that the new year will be as clear and pure as water. And of course, happy! The clock in Cuba only strikes 11 times on New Year's Day. Since the 12th strike falls just on the New Year, the clock is allowed to rest and calmly celebrate the holiday with everyone.
The “face of the holiday” in Finland is represented by old man Frost, or, as the Finns themselves call him, Joulupukki. According to Finnish tradition, this winter old man brings rods to naughty children and gifts to obedient children. In addition, housewives cook festive plum jelly.
In the Netherlands and Belgium, the first day of the new year is taken very seriously. People try to behave well and wear only new things. If you spend the first day of the New Year having fun, then the whole year will be like that. Another tradition that the residents of these countries adhere to is the election of the king of the holiday. Women prepare a cake in which a bean or pea is placed. It is the person who gets a piece of baked goods with a bean who becomes king for the entire New Year's Eve, then chooses the queen and retinue.
In China, people douse themselves with water when others say New Year's wishes for happiness. That's why on this holiday everyone walks the streets in soaking wet clothes.
In Denmark, on New Year's Day, it is customary to protect the forest from deforestation. On the eve of the holiday, foresters treat forest spruce trees with a special composition, which has absolutely no odor in the cold. and at room temperature it emits an unpleasant odor.
In Austria, on New Year's Day, thousands of people gather at Cathedral Square on December 31 to hear the bell ringing.
In Australia, due to the lack of snow, Christmas trees, deer and other usual attributes of the holiday, Father Frost appears on the beaches in a swimming suit, on a special brightly decorated surfboard. Moreover, following traditions, his clothes always include a white beard and a red cap with a pompom at the end.
In Japan, as soon as the New Year comes, the Japanese laugh joyfully.
On New Year's Eve in Brazil, thousands of candles light up on the sand on the ocean beach. Women in long dresses walk into the water and throw flower petals into the ocean surf.
On New Year's Eve in Vietnam, it is customary to release live carp into rivers and ponds.
In Greece, there is a custom according to which, at the stroke of midnight, the head of the family goes out into the yard and breaks a pomegranate fruit against the wall. If its grains scatter throughout the yard, the family will live happily in the New Year.
In Portugal, on the eve of Christmas, it is customary to give a “Christmas cake” with almonds and candied fruits. By the way, surprises are also baked into such baked goods - a figurine or a medal. The finder will have good luck all year, peace and tranquility will reign in the house!

There are quite a lot of traditions for celebrating the New Year in Russia. But what’s interesting is that most of them are borrowed from Western culture. This is apparently explained by two reasons: firstly, the arrival of Christianity in Slavic Rus' completely, or almost completely destroyed the pagan traditions of welcoming the new year and seeing off the old one. Secondly, the nobility and nobility imported new Western customs into Russia, which were subsequently adopted by the common people and became popular. Moreover, each era brought something new. From the times of Slavic paganism we inherited mummers, buffoons and jesters. The era of Peter the Great and subsequent reformer rulers brought a New Year tree with toys, fireworks, Santa Claus and a New Year's table (delicacies such as Olivier salads and vinaigrette were not known before him; they made do with porridge and pies). And the country of the Soviets gave us Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, the obligatory Champagne with tangerines on the table and the striking of the Chimes.

2. Teacher's opening speech.
Guys, what holiday is coming up? How do we celebrate this holiday? Who do we always wait for in the New Year? How do Father Frost and Snow Maiden come to us?
-(children's answers)
How many of you know where the custom of celebrating the New Year in January came from?
- (children's answer)
More than 300 years ago, Russian Tsar Peter 1 brought this tradition from Europe. He issued a decree to celebrate the New Year according to the new calendar, i.e. January 1 (before this, the New Year in Russia was celebrated in the fall, and even earlier in the spring). In the same decree, he wrote that in the houses of both peasants and nobles, a Christmas tree should be installed and decorated for the holiday; it could also be decorated with pine branches. Tsar Peter 1 decreed that everyone congratulate each other, go to visit and give gifts. He also ordered everyone to shoot guns and cannons into the air on New Year’s Eve so that the holiday would be no worse than in Europe and to celebrate for 7 days.
3. New Year in different countries.
Do you guys want to know how new things are celebrated in other countries?
Then we sit back and hit the road.
The first country we will go to is the land of the Rising Sun - Japan, which is one of the first to celebrate the New Year. On New Year's Eve, Japanese children draw. It is believed that a wish will come true if you put a drawing and image of what you dream about under your pillow. Japanese children also love to practice origami and cut out different figures with scissors. In Japan, it is customary to celebrate the New Year in new clothes. It brings good luck and health. Japanese Santa Claus is called Shigatsu San. The house is decorated with bamboo and pine branches. These trees are considered symbols of longevity and fidelity. In the first minutes of the New Year, you must laugh; according to Japanese legends, this will bring good luck in the new year.
(invite children to try to adopt the traditions of Japanese children)
Competition: The guys must draw their dreams on pieces of paper and then put them under their pillow at home. (sheets will be given in advance, approximate time 5-7 minutes)
The next country we will go to is Italy. Exactly at midnight, with the last stroke of the clock, the windows of the houses are thrown wide open, and bedside tables and couches, chairs and armchairs that have served their purpose fly out into the street. In the provinces of Italy, this custom has long existed: on January 1, early in the morning, you need to bring “new water” from a source to your house. If you have nothing to give to your friends, the Italians say, give “new water” with an olive branch.” It is believed that “new” water brought before sunrise brings happiness. It is also very important for an Italian who he meets first in the New Year. If on January 1 an Italian meets a monk or priest, this is a bad omen. It is also undesirable to bump into a small child, but meeting a nice old man is good. And even better - a hunchback... Then the New Year will definitely be prosperous!
We continue our journey and find ourselves in France. The French Santa Claus is called Pere Noel (Bean King). Pere Noel also comes to every home, gives gifts, and the children read poetry, sing and dance for him. An interesting tradition of the “French New Year” is to put gifts in large wooden shoes and place them under the Christmas tree. This rustic shoe symbolizes good luck and prosperity! French Santa Claus Pere Noel comes on New Year's Eve and leaves gifts in children's shoes. The one who gets the bean baked into the New Year's pie receives the title of "bean king" and on the festive night everyone obeys his orders. Dance: Did you know that “Dance of the Little Ducklings” is a French song? Let's dance it. (PHYSICAL MINUTE)
4. Game “Dress up the Christmas tree.”
The guys and I will play an interesting game.
I will tell the kids what we decorate the Christmas tree with.
Listen carefully and be sure to answer!
If I tell you it's true, say yes in response.
Well, if it’s suddenly incorrect, answer boldly “no”
Multi-colored firecrackers? Blankets and pillows?
Cots and cribs? Marmalades, chocolates?
Glass balls? Are the chairs wooden?
Teddy bears? Primers and books?
Are the beads multi-colored? Are the garlands light?
Snow made from white cotton wool? Satchels and briefcases?
Shoes and boots? Cups, forks, spoons?
Are the candies shiny? Are tigers real?
Are the cones golden? Are the stars radiant?
