EDUCATION 1: Good afternoon! Dear comrades! Yes, yes, you heard right, comrades! Because today we invite you to take an exciting journey to a country where gasoline was cheaper than soda with syrup. We invite you to return to the USSR again! Attend a festival of memories and nostalgia... Plunge into a golden time!
Vedas 1: Dear friends! It’s good that it has become a good tradition to celebrate the Day of Wisdom and Kindness. This day is a day of thanksgiving for the warmth of your hearts, for the strength you devote to your work, for the experience that you share with the younger generation, with your children and grandchildren - that is, with us. Vedas 2: Today in this hall there are many who want to congratulate you on today’s significant day. And, according to established tradition, the head of our kindergarten, Galina Vladimirovna Sokolova, addresses you with her wishes and congratulations.
Congratulations from Galina Vladimirovna.
EDIT 2: Yes, there was once such a great power.
And all of us living today, whether we like it or not, are inextricably linked with it. We all come from there, and we simply have no right to forget about it. QUESTION 1: Where did the country with the name of the USSR go, Where everyone was an example for someone, Where they believed and argued sometimes until they were hoarse, But for friends there was enough warmth. QUESTION 2: Where there are shortages, problems, everywhere you look, And the kids walked without fear and without nannies. EDIT 1: There was a lot of strange, sometimes absurd things in it, But adults and children were proud of that country. Let's take a look at the USSR today, In a kind, childish way, let's look back! EDUCATION 2: Dear comrades! We invite you to go on a nostalgic journey through the country of developing socialism! EDIT 1: Shortages, long lines, and, of course, ridiculous prices, these are the distinctive features of Soviet trade. Just think, for 5,000 you could buy a Zhiguli car, for 10,000 a Volga. EDIT 2: And for 15,000 you could get 15 years with confiscation of property. But let’s not talk about sad things, let’s rather remember and laugh at the prices of the past together. (against the background of the song “No, I’m not crying or crying”)
EDUCATION 1: So, comrades! We are starting our auction of Soviet prices. The winners will receive real Soviet money, which can be used to shop at our buffet. EDIT 1: In a country of developed socialism, you could always buy a blue chicken for 2 rubles 50 kopecks, but how much did a well-fed broiler chicken cost at that time? What are your options? (3 rubles 20 kopecks) EDIT 2: Beef of the 1st category cost Soviet citizens 1 ruble 80 kopecks per kilogram, and how much did the Doctor’s sausage, which was made from this beef, cost? (2 rubles 20 kopecks) EDUCATION 2: A kilogram of sugar cost 78 kopecks, how much did salt cost? (6 kopecks) EDUCATION 1: What could you buy with 1 kopeck? (a glass of gas water without syrup, matches.) And for 2 kopecks? (call from a pay phone) did it cost 3 kopecks? (gas dispenser with syrup, notebook, tram travel) And 5 kopecks? (bun - cod, travel on the subway, bus, trolleybus) ED 2: Milk ice cream in these years cost 10 kopecks, and how much for an popsicle (22 kopecks) How much did a lottery ticket cost? (30 kopecks) EDUCATION 1: The most difficult question: how could you spend 56 kopecks? (buy American dollar) VED 2: 120 rub. was the salary of an engineer, but what was the average scholarship for a student at a Soviet university? (40 rub.) EDIT 1: Congratulations, comrades! You are well versed in past prices. Well, well, let's continue. It's time to remember the old movies.
To begin with, I suggest listening to a song from a famous Soviet film.
"Song about bears." Preparatory group.
A lot can be said about those kind, naive and noble films. EDUCATION 2: We invite you to remember them. We play music from the film, you name the film in which it was featured.
Quiz guess the movie based on the song.
Vedas 1: I dreamed, I loved, I danced and sang, I flew somewhere far, far away.
I got up easily, fell asleep instantly, and thought, thought so intimately. Vedas 2: I walked through the forests, wandered through the meadows, and most importantly, there was time for everything: for work, for love and for little things. And everything worked out, and everything worked out! Vedas 1: Oh, youth, youth, you are incomparable! Why did you drive past once? Vedas 2: “Where are you going?” - she asked anxiously and sang... She answered quietly: “I wanted to go to others.” Vedas 1: Today we have gathered here in this hall to remember our youth, to remember the years in which it fell: the 70-80s. Ved 2: It’s wonderful that you all still have good spirits, you look great, you have enthusiasm and sparkle in your eyes, the ability to enjoy life and share your joy with others. Each of you, of course, has his own secret of youth and beauty. And the Orenburg beauties were always painted by the Orenburg cobweb. Especially for your day, the girls of the senior group prepared the dance “Orenburg Down Shawl”
Vedas 2: Songs, they accompany us all our lives. So different and close to our hearts, which have become an integral part of us. Let's continue to remember and sing our favorite songs together.
Game guess songs about food.
Vedas 1: The song that was sung, sung, and will be sung!
From the first chords, the legs and other parts of the body begin to dance, the mood rises, a smile lights up the face! Ved 2: Don't hold back! Sing along with us! The song “Black Cat” is playing
Vedas 1: And we have prepared another musical surprise for you! Vedas 2: The song that everyone sang, young and old, from the mid-80s to this day. Children of the middle group dance “Sailor”
Scenario for an evening of relaxation dedicated to the Day of the Elderly.
