ENTERTAINMENT SCENARIO

FOR CHILDREN OF THE OLDER PRESCHOOL AGE

History and traditions of the cabbage holiday.
Peasant life, its weekdays and holidays have been subordinated to nature since time immemorial, determined by the time of the year and constitute a certain, once and for all established cycle of the labor way of life. So, in late autumn, heads of cabbage poured with earthly juices are taken away from the fields. On this, before the onset of spring, field work is completed, the breadwinner goes to sleep ... Perhaps, no vegetable has attracted such close attention of researchers of all times and peoples as cabbage. Philosophers and historians, doctors and cooks have left us numerous instructions about its magical, healing and culinary properties. According to one of the legends, the Thunderer Jupiter, working on the explanation of two contradictory sayings, was sweating from a terrible overstrain. Several large drops rolled down from the forehead of the father of the gods to the ground. It was from these drops that cabbage grew. The story, of course, is uncomplicated, but it shows the respectful attitude of the Romans towards the ancient vegetable. Apparently, the very word "cabbage" is somehow connected with this legend, because. it came from the ancient Roman "caputum", which translated into Russian means "head". Even the ancient Greeks and Romans attributed to cabbage the ability to soothe headaches, cure deafness, relieve insomnia and various internal diseases. Our ancestors also knew a lot about the healing properties of cabbage. So, in the old Russian medical books we read: “Crushed cabbage, mixed with egg white, and then it is applied to any burn and so their ulcers heal.” One of the first Russian sources that mentions cabbage can be considered Svyatoslav's Izbornik dated 1073. "Kapustnik" in the old days in Rus' was called a garden where cabbage was grown. It was the most favorite vegetable in Rus', it was not for nothing that she was called "the first lady in the village." From the Exaltation (September 27) in the villages they began to chop cabbage. The villagers said: “Smart, woman, about cabbage on the Exaltation Day”, “A good man has a pie with cabbage on the Exaltation Day.” Winter stocks were not counted in pounds and kilograms, but in buckets and barrels. Such large supplies are difficult to make alone. That is why women chopped and salted cabbage together for the whole village, moving from house to house. Fortune-telling was held on this day, and beliefs that are associated with matchmaking, so the traditions were observed most often by families in which there was a marriageable daughter. Today, the Cabbage Festival is resuming its traditions and is held in some Russian cities and villages.

HOUSEHOLDER: Together with chopped cabbage, whole white heads of cabbage were fermented, as well as cucumbers of the last harvest and apples. There were general rules, customs and signs. For example, cabbage harvested in October is more sugary than that harvested in September, and it is better to chop cabbage for the “young month”, then it will be stronger and tastier. Our ancestors, the Slavs, have been growing cabbage since the 9th century and were the first to invent a way to ferment it. Cabbage was fermented in whole heads, chopped, chopped. There were white and gray sauerkraut. The first was prepared from white cabbage according to recipes that have not changed much to our time. The second - gray - was obtained from the same raw materials, but a layer of cabbage was sprinkled with rye flour along with salt. In this case, if there was little juice under oppression, rye kvass was added to the barrel to improve fermentation.
Perhaps it was this method that was the oldest, the original one, which gave the cabbage the name “sauerkraut”, that is, “seasoned with kvass”. MISTRESS

The song is about autumn.

Leading: Hello guys! Hello dear guests!

We are glad to welcome you to our unusual holiday. And what kind of holiday it is and why it is called that, we will now find out.

(Children read poems)

******(Margarita)

It was in the garden, too empty (Nikita)
We planted cabbage .
One two Three,
Now look!
Lady, what is it?
Came here for the summer!
As if she had returned from the ball, (Dima)
She wore so many dresses!
And a cabbage stalk
Both girls and boys
They love to crunch -
A sight to see!

"Thank you" we say boldly, (Semyon)

To you, white cabbage

You washed yourself in the rain

She wore three hundred dresses,

Let's eat and praise.

Yes, say "thank you"!

Host: (G.AN.) Our guest is Arina, a nursery. She will tell us why we dedicate the whole holiday to only one vegetable.

Arina nursery: Today we gathered for a holiday that was celebrated in Rus' in October, when all the cabbage was harvested.

Therefore, the holiday got its unusual name"Cabbages".

"Kapustnik" in the old days in Rus' was called a garden where cabbage was grown.

Leading: Guys, let's call the months from October to May in chorus ...

(children call).

Arina:

I pull the pegs

I'm planting a garden

I plant cabbage.

I plant white

Cheerful.

And white, and vila,

And with tynom is equal.

(walks around)

Don't be a slouch, be a paunch.

Don't be empty, be tight.

Don't be small, be big.

In the old days, the first head of cabbage was covered with a large cast iron,

And the cast iron is a white tablecloth so that the cabbage forks are large and tight. And now you need to curl the cabbage, for this, gather the leaves in a round dance-cabbage.

Student:

Weave, weave, cabbage, (Egor)

Curl white.

How can a cabbage not curl,

White-green not to break?

The rain is pouring down,

White-green breaks.

The round dance is gaining. Dmitry has cabbage, (Ilya)

Yes, Yakovlevich has a white one,

It often rains on her,

It pours pouring watering.

And he walks in a round dance,

The round dance is gaining.

(Verse Lisa Kr., Diana)

I don't intend to play hide and seek with you.
I grow like a normal vegetable in the garden.
I've been getting fat all summer. How else? -
I need to be round like a ball by autumn!
Clothes on me, if you undress, a pack,
But to be honest, I'm not a slut.
The more clothes, the more valuable I will be -
So people said, and people know better.
And in cabbage soup, and in borscht you will not find a replacement for me,
Stuffing in the pie, cabbage rolls - delicious!
And sour, and stew, raw - no worse,
I'm good for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
It is impossible to chew without a wonderful crunch.
It has long been clear to everyone, my name is cabbage !

Arina: And the cabbage kept growing, so they came to visit us ..

Cabbage: Hello dear guests. Glad to see you at my party. Cabbage is the most favorite vegetable in Rus', it is not for nothing that she was called the first lady in the village.

Our garden is empty
Almost harvested.
But everything remained cabbage –
She has to grow up.
Under a wide, dense sheet,
As under a fur coat, heads of cabbage.
They are foggy and hazy cold,
and frosts are not terrible.
White-sided, tight.
I can hardly lift a head of cabbage!
It is not known how others
I'm looking forward to the day
When their grandmother will
Shred, put in salting.
I'm a holiday among weekdays -
Stumps of juicy sweetness.

Autumn is very good

Good, good!

Autumn walks slowly

He doesn't go fast.

Autumn has an outfit

Golden, golden!

Surprise everyone

Autumn beauty.

Chorus: (2x)

Autumn dear, rustling

Leaves around.

Don't rush to follow

Cranes to the south!

He became thinner than he was.

Still burning with fire

And let's start our "Kapustnik".

Everything necessary for chopping and salting cabbage is prepared on the tables. At the end of the “working” part of the party, tables are covered with tablecloths and served for tea drinking. Everyone who came to the gatherings can participate in common work: chop cabbage and talk about it. And the Host and the Hostess, using the exhibition material, are having a conversation.

Autumn.

I am autumn, and I pour gold over the edge,
Gathered a rich harvest in the fields.
Brought the best fruits in the basket,
You will see one of them now.

She takes cabbage out of the basket.

Do not judge cabbage strictly
That she has a lot of clothes on.

- Word cabbage derived from ancient Roman ka "putum, which in Russian means head.

Cabbage.

Everyone knows: no cabbage
Your pan is empty.
If you forget the cabbage
You won't eat borscht and cabbage soup.

- In the menu of Russians, cabbage has always been one of the first places among other vegetables. It has been widely used and is used to prepare a variety of snacks, soups, main courses. Cabbage juice is also very useful. As an independent dish, cabbage is stewed, fried, baked, stuffed with various fillings.
Here on the table are various cabbage dishes prepared by your mothers and grandmothers. Thank you all very much!
Basically, the national Russian cuisine includes dishes from white cabbage, although recipes from other types of cabbage are not alien to it: cauliflower, kohlrabi, red, Brussels sprouts, etc.

Exhibition of cabbage varieties “This is what I am!”

Exhibition of books about cabbage “If you want to know more about me, you need to read these books!”

Master. Perhaps, no vegetable has attracted such close attention of researchers of all times and peoples as cabbage. Philosophers and historians, doctors and cooks have left us numerous instructions about its magical, healing and culinary properties.
Even the ancient Greeks and Romans attributed to cabbage the ability to soothe a headache, cure deafness, relieve insomnia and various internal diseases.
Our ancestors also knew a lot about the healing properties of cabbage. So, in the old Russian medical books we read: “crushed cabbage, mixed with egg white, and then it is applied to any burn and so their ulcers heal.”

Cabbage. In folk medicine, I am used for various diseases. Fresh leaves are applied to purulent abscesses, wounds, used for burns. Fresh juice is recommended for tuberculosis (together with honey), for diseases of the liver, stomach, and toothache. My juice must be drunk immediately, because. the vitamins contained in it are quickly destroyed. To strengthen the hair, rub a mixture of juices of fresh cabbage, spinach and lemon.

Mistress. More than four thousand years ago, man began to grow cabbage. The ancestor of cultivars of cabbage is wild cabbage, which grew and still grows along the banks of mediterranean sea. For many centuries man has been cultivating wild cabbage, caring for it and selecting plants with large leaves for seeds; thus a valuable vegetable crop was obtained.

Cabbage.“Kapustnik” in the old days in Rus' was called the garden where I was grown. It was the most favorite vegetable in Rus', not without reason they called me “the first lady in the village”. Vegetable gardens with cabbage everywhere surrounded Russian settlements. The abundance of cabbage in Rus' surprised even worldly-wise foreigners. So, in the 13th century, a certain Cornelius de Buin wrote: “In Muscovy, ordinary white cabbage grows, with which the Russians prepare large stocks and which the common people eat 2 times a day.”

Teacher additions. The foreigner is right - in Rus' cabbage has long been treated with almost religious adoration. The day of the Feast of the Exaltation was almost universally considered the date when the cabbage harvest began. They fermented it, salted it, and on this fast day various dishes were prepared from it. I.S. Shmelev, an émigré writer, remarkably wrote about sauerkraut, a process that has become almost a folk custom in our country:

“And here is another joy: we chop cabbage! After the Exaltation, tubs for cabbages begin to soar ... Vasil-Vasilich fills one trough, the other - me and Gorkin. Twenty wagons of cabbage, the whole yard is littered: a white-green mountain, chopping - not to cut ... Huge troughs made of thick boards, chopped ten sections from each side, it's fun to listen to the towing - how they dance! In that trough they chop gray cabbage, and in ours - white. There they take away the green leaves, hand over the green leaves from ours, and throw a white, “milk” one into our trough. They call it “the master's trough”. I whisper to Gorkin: “Why do they need green?” He smirks at me: “I know what you're thinking… No offense here, killer whale. Yours will be sweeter, but we love it stronger, with bitterness, much tastier ... and as it sours, it will pierce the spirit ... our most famous cabbage, a little serachok ... Merry - this cabbage!

1 student. Harvesting cabbage for the winter in Russia took place in late autumn, when, at the first slight frost, cabbage forks “coil up steeper” and become harder. There were general rules, customs and signs. For example, cabbage harvested in October is more sugary than that harvested in September, and it is better to chop cabbage for the “young month”, then it will be stronger and tastier.
From the Exaltation (September 27) in the villages they began to chop cabbage. The villagers used to say: “Dream, woman, cabbage on the Exaltation Day”, or “A good peasant has a pie with cabbage on the Exaltation Day”.

2 student. Winter stocks were considered not pounds and kilograms, but buckets and barrels. Such large stocks are difficult to make alone. That is why women chopped and salted cabbage together for the whole village, moving from one house to another. Invitations to cabbage parties were a sign of goodwill.

3 student. At all times in Rus', it was customary to harvest cabbage for the future in the fall, so that it would last until the summer. Cabbage, juicy, white cabbage was brought into the house directly from the beds. Then they chopped it and put it into barrels, crushed it, added seasoning and, after waiting for the allotted time, put it on the table - to feast on this wonderful gift of mother earth. Potatoes and sauerkraut are the first dish of the villagers and the townspeople. It is no coincidence that the folk festival “Cabbage” was celebrated so solemnly and cheerfully in different parts of Russia.

Mistress. Our ancestors, the Slavs, have been growing cabbage since the 9th century and were the first to invent a way to ferment it. Cabbage was fermented in whole heads, chopped, chopped. There were white and gray sauerkraut. The first was prepared from white cabbage according to recipes that have not changed much to our time.
The second - gray - was obtained from the same raw materials, but a layer of cabbage was sprinkled with rye flour along with salt. In this case, if there was little juice under oppression, rye kvass was added to the barrel to improve fermentation.
Perhaps it was this method that was the oldest, the original one, which gave the name “sauerkraut” to cabbage, i.e. "filled with kvass".

Mistress.

Come out, red girls, show your ability,
Not a pretty face, but golden hands.
After all, without cabbage and cabbage soup, they will not be thick!

5 student. On cabbage evenings, acquaintance with the master's son could begin, and there - you see, and a wedding. A growing child will ask a young mother: “Where did they take me?”. She will remember funny preparations, smile and answer the baby: “They found it in cabbage.”

Cabbage. Let's open the veil and see the picturesque picture that the Russian village was when pickling cabbage.

Mistress.

Cabbage evenings have arrived
On horses, on sables, on foxes, ermines.
Already you, gossips, my girlfriends,
You come to work for me.
Help me to chop the cabbage,
Help me pick it up!

A knock is heard, the girls enter.

girls (with bow). Hello Hostess and Hostess!

Here we come to help you
Let's chop the cabbage.

Master. For dear guests and the gate wide open!

Mistress.

Dear guests, make yourself at home.
Our comfort at home is visible to everyone:
In close quarters, perhaps, but not offended!
After all, any hut, you know yourself,
Not red in the corners, red in the pies!
Everything that is rich, so happy.

Master. First - business, then - pies and fun. Come on, girls, put on aprons so that you don’t stain your outfits, and get to work.

Three adults - mothers and grandmothers and "girls" - the students stand near the table and begin to chop and salt the cabbage: the mothers chop, and the students demonstrate the utensils and talk as they work, the audience - the rest of the children and parents - watch the process of pickling cabbage. Quiet music sounds, against the background of which the story of the girls and the hostess is being conducted.

Girl 1. This trough , and this chaff . For cutting cabbage in each house there was a special trough, which was not used for anything else. Here is another tool - shredder - a special machine for shredding, i.e. slicing cabbage in the form of shavings, but this - wooden pestle .

Adults and girls begin to chop cabbage.

Mistress. Cabbage cutting was a real holiday for the village boys. After all, it is known that children are very fond of nibbling stumps. During the cutting of cabbage, the guys did not leave their mothers for whole days.
First, the heads of cabbage must be washed and cleaned from spoiled and sluggish leaves. Having cut out the stalk, the heads of cabbage must be chopped into slices or chopped on a special shredder.
Mix chopped cabbage thoroughly with salt and chopped carrots in a wooden or enameled container.

Girl 2. Put the prepared cabbage in a tub, barrel or glass jar, ramming each new portion with a wooden pestle or other blunt object until abundant juice comes out.

Girl 3. Cabbage fermented with cumin, celery, dill, juniper berries. If desired, seasonings, allspice, bay leaf, cranberries could be added to the cabbage. Together with chopped cabbage, whole white heads of cabbage were fermented, as well as cucumbers of the last harvest and apples.

Girl 4. It is good to lay green cabbage leaves on the bottom of the barrel and on top of the cabbage. Cover the cabbage with a white cotton cloth, and put a wooden circle with oppression on it, under the press. For oppression, it is better to pick up large rounded stones, which are found along the banks of rivers.

Girl 1. After some time, under the weight of oppression, the cabbage will settle and be covered with brine. If the brine does not come out, the load should be increased. The fermentation process lasts about a week at a temperature of 18–20 °.

Girl 5. As soon as foaming bubbles begin to appear on the surface, the cabbage must be pierced in several places with a sharp long stick - a sharp birch stake (to the bottom). Through these punctures, the gases formed during fermentation will exit. After a couple of days, you need to make new punctures. When the cabbage turns white (and this usually happens a week after salting), it should be transferred from a warm room to the cellar, and glass jars to the refrigerator. On this, the process of cooking cabbage can be considered complete.

Master. Let's remember what proverbs people have put together about cabbage.

Poems about cabbage

summer rain

Summer rain soft paw
Ironing vegetables in the garden.
Only touches the cabbage,
How does the cabbage wake up:
The leaves are white and juicy
Curls into heads.

Once upon a time there was a cabbage

There lived a cabbage
White cabbage,
White cabbage
There was a desperate braggart.

Look for some more cabbage!
The hostess crumbled it into cabbage soup.
One stalk remained -
And that son got it!

Vladimir Suslov

sad cabbage

The field is being cleaned, the garden is empty,
Only behind the barn is the cabbage shivering.
They haven’t been taken away from the garden for two weeks now,
Even from the cold, the veins turned blue.
Crispy cabbage looks over the fence ...
Not a blade of grass nearby - that's why it's sad.

Kayum Tangrykuliev

Cabbage

- She tied her head, are you sick, cabbage?
Are you cold in summer too? Wrapped up, cabbage?
- From the sun I wear a turban,
I don't need heat at all!

Vasily Katanov

Heads of cabbage in the garden
This is the size
Are pouring.
Santa Claus put on a sheepskin coat,
To heads of stupas-hrup
Is selected.
I wanted to freeze them
All turned white with anger,
Nothing happened.
Heads of cabbage lie in the night
Like white bear cubs
And growl a little audibly.

M. Maltseva

Cabbage

The cabbage rose
It is important to look around
I quickly put on warm sweatshirts.
He covers his nose with a green cloak:
- I am not afraid of rain and frost now!

"Cabbage Evening"

Scenario of holding folk gatherings.

Members: folklore ensemble "Kupala" and students of schools in Magnitogorsk, institutions of primary and secondary vocational education.

Event objectives:

Education of students on the principles of traditional folk culture as a highly moral heritage,

Support for the creative activity of young people,

Assistance in the development of the folklore movement in the children's and youth environment.

Conduct form: game

Facilities: Gatherings can be held as outdoors, as well as indoors.

Everything necessary for chopping and salting cabbage is prepared on the tables. At the end of the "working" part of the evening, the tables are covered with tablecloths, served for tea drinking.

Everyone who came to the gatherings can participate in the common work. Guests willingly chop cabbage and talk about it. And the Host and the Hostess, using the exhibition material, appealing to the curiosity and practical experience of the guests, are having a conversation:

- Perhaps, no vegetable has attracted such close attention of researchers of all times and peoples as cabbage.

Philosophers and historians, doctors and cooks have left us numerous instructions and even monographs on its magical, healing and culinary properties.

Even the ancient Greeks and Romans attributed to cabbage the ability to soothe headaches, cure deafness, get rid of insomnia and various internal diseases.

- Our ancestors also knew a lot about the healing properties of cabbage.

"Kapustnik" in the old days in Rus' was called a garden where cabbage was grown. It was the most favorite vegetable in Rus', it was not without reason that it was called the “first lady” in the village.

Winter stocks were considered not in pounds and kilograms, but in buckets and barrels. Such large supplies are difficult to make alone. That is why women chopped and salted cabbage together for the whole village, moving from one house to another.

- It was from the Exaltation in the villages that girls' cabbage parties began. The youth looked forward to the cabbage girls. They were fun: with conversations, jokes, jokes. The girls went singing from house to house to chop cabbage. Tables with snacks were laid in every house. Entering the house, the guests congratulated the hosts on a good harvest. The girls dressed up as cabbage girls and tried to show their industriousness, and the housewives looked closely: which bride is daring.

- At cabbage evenings, acquaintance with the master's son could begin, and there - you look, and a wedding. A growing child will ask a young mother: “Where did they take me?” She will remember funny preparations, smile and answer the baby: “They found it in cabbage.”

An invitation to "cabbage parties" has long been a sign of location, friendliness. Refusing an invitation was considered a sign of "disrespect for the hosts."

MISTRESS (singing):

Cabbage evenings came to us

On horses, on sables, on foxes, ermines.

Already you, gossips, my girlfriends,

You come to work for me.

The girls start chopping cabbage.

HOSTESS: Together with chopped cabbage, whole white heads of cabbage were fermented, as well as cucumbers of the last harvest and apples. There were general rules, customs and signs.

Dressed in noisy silks

We are preparing tubs for her,

Coarse salt half a bag.

I was born to fame - my head is white, curly.

And who loves soup very much - always look for me there.

Alena dressed up in her green sarafan,

She curled her frills thickly, do you recognize her? Cabbage!

In order for the stove to flare up, it is necessary to give heat,

To make the ditty easier to sing, you need to help with dancing.

Dance ( folklore ensemble "Kupala" and guests of the event ).

The girls start working again, and the Mistress continues the conversation:

“More than four thousand years ago, man began to grow cabbage. The ancestor of cultivated varieties of cabbage is wild cabbage, which grew and still grows along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. For many centuries man has been cultivating wild cabbage, caring for it and selecting plants with large leaves for seeds; thus a valuable vegetable crop was obtained.

Our ancestors, the Slavs, have been growing cabbage since the 9th century and were the first to invent a way to ferment it. Cabbage was fermented in whole heads, chopped, chopped. There were white and gray sauerkraut. The first was prepared from white cabbage according to recipes that have not changed much to our time.

The second - gray - was obtained from the same raw materials, but a layer of cabbage was sprinkled with rye flour along with salt. In this case, if there was little juice under oppression, rye kvass was added to the barrel to improve fermentation.

Perhaps it was this method that was the oldest, the original one, which gave the cabbage the name “sauerkraut”, that is, “seasoned with kvass”.

OWNER: The villagers know from childhood how to ferment cabbage correctly.

ONE OF THE GUESTS:

I clean, I cut cabbage,

And then rub the carrots.

I'll salt it a little

And I'll put it in a barrel.

Mom will put sticks

Dad will press

And when she wanders

Let's pierce with a stick.

For a couple of days she wandered -

Gotta take it to the grave

Or else she'll have to

Feed the goats all over.

HOSTESS: While the conversation was going on, and the work was done. Thank you for your help dear guests.

OWNER: No wonder they say: the work of the master is afraid. A tub full of sauerkraut means it's time for fun.

Round dance "Veysya, veysya, my cabbage."

The game "Pegs".

Pairs of players stand in a circle. One person in each pair sits down - this is a "peg". Another is behind him. The driver walks in the center of the circle, approaches any pair.

- Kuma, kuma, sell the peg.

– What is it worth?

- Well, on the hands, but in the bath.

They hit their hands and run around the pegs in different directions. Whoever comes running first, he stands at the "peg". The loser becomes the leader.

Game of cabbage.

In the middle of the round dance, the players put their ribbons, belts, scarves. The "owner of the cabbage" chosen in advance guards it.

The round dance sings:

I'm sitting on a rock

I am amusing small pegs,

I am amusing small pegs,

I have my own garden.

I fence my city,

I live and guard

Not to run here

And the cabbage was not stolen

Wolf and fox, beaver

Bunny mustachioed, bear

Fatty.

Then the dance breaks up, and everyone tries to grab their "cabbage head". The “owner” does not sleep, and the one whom he manages to stain, when the game is repeated, guards the “garden” with him.

You won’t be full of games and dancing, and the hosts invite guests to tea with cabbage pies. At parting, everyone wishes health to each other.
