Legend 1.

 

It is the year 269 in the city of Rome. And it’s a very bad time for the first Christians. King Claudius hates them because they don’t believe in the old Roman gods.

    Near the King’s Palace there is a small church. Every day, the people of Rome, young and old, rich and poor, secretly go to the church to listen to the Christian priest Valentine. And every day, more and more people become Christians. Just under the King’s nose!

     One day Claudius learns about it. “ Off with his head!” he says. And Valentine is put in prison. In prison, he falls in love with his guard’s blind daughter. Valentine’s love is so strong that it cures the girl’s blindness.

     Valentine knows that on the 14^th of February he will die. Early in the morning he sends the guard’s daughter a letter. He signs it “From your Valentine”.

 

Legend 2.

               Orpheus  and  Eurydice

Orpheus  is  a  musician. He  plays  the  lyre  and  sings  so  beautifully  that  everybody  likes  his  music – people,  gods  and  even  animals  and  plants.

     One  day  Orpheus  meets  a  beautiful  nymph,  Eurydice.  He  falls  in  love  with  her  and  she  falls  in  love with  him.  They  get  married  and  are  very  happy.

     One  day  Eurydice  goes  for  a  walk  in  the  forest.  Suddenly  she  steps  on   a  snake  and  dies.

      Orpheus  is  very  unhappy.  He  can’t  eat.   He  can’t  drink.  He  can’t  sleep.  “I  must  go  to  the  underworld  and  ask  hades  to  bring  her  back”, he  says. So  Orpheus  takes  his  lyre  and  goes  to  the  underworld.

    When  hades  hears  his  beautiful  music,  his  gold  heart  melts.

     “You  can  take  your  wife  back”, he  says.  “But  promise  not  to  look back  at  her  until  you  come  home”.

     “I  promise”, Orpheus  says.

      So  Orpheus  and  Eurydice  slowly  walk  home.  But Orpheus  forgets  his  promise  and  looks  back  at  his  sweetheart……..

    Eurydice  disappears  for  ever.

 

X.                 The  teams  read  in  turn  poems  devoted  to  the  holiday.

1.     My  Valentine  has  eyes  of  green

With  20 eyebrows in  between.

Her  skin  is  blue.

Her  head  is  square.

She  hasn’t  got  a  brain  in  there.

Her  4  ears  twitch

Her  noses  shine.

But still, I  think

I’ll  make  her  mine!

 

2.     I  love  you.  I  love  you.

I  love  you  divine.

Please  give  me  your  bubble  gum,

You  are  sitting  on  mine.

 

3.     Here’s  a  Valentine

 And  this  is  what  it’s  for –

To  say  that  every  day

You  are  loved

More  and  more  and  more!

 

4.     I’ll  be  your  sweetheart,

 If  you  will  be  mine.

All  of  my  life

I’ll  be  your  Valentine.

 

5.     I  loved  my  friend,

 He  went  away  from  me.

There’s  nothing  more  to  say.

The  poem  ends,

Soft  as  it  began –

I  loved  my  friend.

 

6.     My  love  is  like  a  cabbage,

 Divided  into  two,

The  leaves  I  give  to  others,

But the  heart  I  give  to  you.

 

7.     The  rose  is  red,

 The  violets  are  blue.

The  honey’s  sweet

And  so  you  are.

8.     If  you  will  be  my  Valentine,

 My  charming  little  dear,

The  sun  can  never  help  but  shine

Throughout  the  coming  year.

If  you  will  be  my  Valentine,

You’ll  see  in  all  your  walks

Fresh  lemon  drops  on  every  twig

And  peanuts  on  stalks.

But  if  from  you  I  never  hear,

Nor  even get  a  line,

I’ll  ask some  other  nicer  girl

To  be  my  Valentine.

 

9.     I  hope  that  Valentine’s  Day

 Will  bring  you  lots  of  fun!

He  thinks  you’re  extra-specially  nice,

And  so  does  everyone!

 

10.You’d  make  the  nicest  Valentine

              That  there    could  ever  be!

              And  so  I’m  asking:

              “Pretty, please, be  Valentine  with  me?”

 

XI.              The  teams  in  turn  say  what  people  get  many  cards  on  St. Valentine’s  Day, what  character  should  these  people  have.

XII.            The  teams  sing  a  song “My  bonnie”.

 

3.Last  night  when  I  lay  on  the  pillow,

Last  night  when  I  lay  on  the  bed,

Last  night  when  I  lay  on  the  pillow,

I  dreamed  that  my  bonnie  was  dead.

 

4. The  winds  have  blown   over  the  ocean,

    The  winds  have  blown  over  the  sea,

    The  winds  have  blown  over  the  ocean,

    And  brought  back  my  bonnie  to  me.

Refrain: Bring  back,  bring  back,

              Oh, bring  back  my  bonnie  to  me, to  me.

              Bring  back,  bring  back,

              Oh,  bring  back  my  bonnie  to  me.
