A skit about the war for schoolchildren
The best production for a school theater consists of a good script, simple scenery and talented performances by young actors. The skit called “Ogonyok” will surely sink into the souls of the audience, and representatives of the older generation will secretly wipe away a tear.
Scenery:
On the stage there is a table with an inkwell, a kerosene lamp and a photograph of a WWII soldier. In the background is a fence on which hangs a Soviet-era mailbox (made of cardboard). On the left side of the stage there are benches and a mock fire, around which actors in infantry and navy costumes have gathered. Musical accompaniment - piano and girls' choir (alternative - recordings on disk).
The presenters greet the audience and announce the start of the performance. In the prologue, a few words about how the inhabitants of the great country of the USSR met the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and how they did not break under the onslaught of the cruel Hitlerite Germany.
Presenter : July in Russia. Sunday. At home in the arms of silence. There was a fragile moment left before the first shots of the war.
On the stage there are several girls in cotton dresses, village dances, a guy invites one of the girls to a ballroom dance. A couple performs a waltz to the music of the pre-war waltz. But suddenly the musical accompaniment is interrupted and the voice of the famous Levitan is heard from the loudspeaker: “Attention! Moscow speaks! We are conveying an important government message!” (the audience listens with bated breath to the announcer's address).
After the radio message, a girl in a simple dress and a scarf on her shoulders, as well as a soldier in a Soviet WWII uniform with a rifle on her shoulder, appear on stage. To the song “The girl escorted the fighter to the position...” the actors act out a sad farewell scene. Then the inconsolable bride sits down to write a touching letter and, folding it into a triangle, puts it in the mailbox on the fence.
On the bench where the fighters sit around the fire, the actors present a scene of rest after the battle. The soldier receives a letter from the girl and rejoices, reading dear lines from his home (the song continues).
The audience is delighted with the touching performance, everyone rises and gives a standing ovation.
Sketch for fifth graders – Jasmine’s story in a new way
In the center of the hall, sad Jasmine sits on a mountain of pillows and strokes a stuffed tiger.
Jasmine : Oh, how boring life is for a princess! Sleep, eat, sleep, eat. I walk around the garden, listen to the old sages. And dad also wants to marry me off, imagine, then it will be even worse. In general, they won’t let you out of the palace! (Looks at the tiger) This is not the life I dreamed of, dear Raja.
A gloomy Jafar comes onto the stage with a tray of fruit.
Jafar : Hello, my princess! (Brings her treats)
Jasmine is rude: What do you want, adviser?
Jafar : I came to you to propose marriage…. Will you become my wife?
Jasmine laughs: Why suddenly?
Jafar, confused: Well, because I... am the richest and most insidious wizard! I will throw at your feet all the gold of the world, all its jewels!
Jasmine proudly: I don’t need all the gold in the world, but I want freedom!
Jafar hits the floor with his staff: Oh, right! Then I give you 1 day to think about it. If you don't change your mind, I will turn Agrabah and your palace to ashes! (Laughs evilly and goes backstage)
Jasmine twirls her finger at her temple: I'm completely crazy. Everything promises and threatens. He doesn’t understand that I want to see the world, and not sit within four walls covered in gold. I wish I had a magic carpet now and...
The window swings open and Aladdin looks out in a prince's costume. Jasmine gets scared from surprise and covers herself with pillows. The guy awkwardly stumbles into the room.
Jasmine cautiously: Who are you? What are you doing here? I'll set my tiger on you now! (Takes a plush toy) Raja!
Aladdin : Sorry, princess, for scaring you! I accidentally overheard your conversation... And I can say without deception that I will fulfill all your dreams.
Jasmine incredulously: What are you saying?
Aladdin : Yes, I just have one friend, and he happened to have a magic carpet lying around….
Jasmine : I'll call the guard now, you crazy guy!
Then the Genie flies in through the window and stands between the princess and Aladdin.
Genie : Salaam alaikum, Princess Jasmine, I am that friend, Aladdin doesn't lie!
Jasmine : So, another dreamer?! That's it, I'm calling the guards!
Genie : Listen, I am a genie from the ancient Maghreb, I have magic and sorcery. I can conjure you anything you want. Abracadabra, lumos, nox, aloha, mahora, grandma's nose.
The genie waves his hands, takes out a magic carpet and spreads it on the floor. The stage darkens and Aladdin and Jasmine sit down on the carpet. The song “Arabian Night” plays, and the actors pretend to fly on a magic carpet.
Aladdin , holding the princess by the hand, balances on the stage: Look, Germany is down there. Here is France and its famous tower! Now we will see Rome, and then we will fly over Russia. Look how big and beautiful she is!
Jasmine : Wow, it’s better to see it live than to look at pictures in thick books!
Aladdin : I can even take you to Antarctica. (Takes out warm hats, scarves and puts them on Jasmine) We can fly around the whole world, as you dreamed of! Just become my wife!
Jasmine drooped. The carpet descends and flies back into the palace.
Aladdin : Don't be silent, princess. Tell me, do you agree?
Jasmine : I need to think. I'll give the answer tomorrow.
The guy bows and leaves.
Princess out loud: Jafar is a terrible person. He will ban me from the palace and will govern the state as he pleases. Aladdin is kind, but I cannot marry him, magic is just a deception. And I don't know if he loves me? (Hugs the tiger) What should I do, Raja?
The stage plunges into darkness, the stars light up, and a beautiful oriental melody sounds. A minute later the light turns on again. It’s morning in the palace, Jasmine gets up from the pillows and stretches.
Jafar enters with a casket: Good morning, my princess! I brought you a diamond engagement ring. I hope you made the right choice.
Aladdin and Genie enter next.
Genie : Oh no. There's some big scary cat here. Get out of here!
Jasmine laughs: Jafar, I will not become your wife! The genie is right, go away.
Jafar : If you don't become mine, you won't become anyone's! (Waves his staff) Kotuis motius!
Aladdin covers the princess with himself, the Genie takes out a mirror and points it at Jafar. The spell is reflected and falls on the owner, the light suddenly goes out.
Jafar in the dark: Oh no, damn you!
The darkness dissipates, and instead of the sorcerer there is a large black cat on the stage.
Jasmine pets the cat: Oh, how cute. Let's leave him in the palace, teach him to purr and go to the litter box.
Aladdin takes the girl by the hands: Together?
Jasmine embarrassed: Yes, together. I agree to become your wife.
Aladdin is happy, the Genie applauds: Shall we have a grand wedding?
Jasmine : Oh, Ginny, are you going to live with us all the time?
Aladdin : What's wrong? He's a wizard. And we don’t even know how to cook scrambled eggs...
Jasmine : Nothing, we'll learn. And Genie must be freed!
The two of them take off the bracelets from Genie, he thanks them and hugs them to the beautiful song “Princess” by Babek Mamedrzaev. The genie flies away, and Jasmine and Aladdin hold hands, dance, bow and go backstage. Applause!
