In Soviet times, a professional holiday was approved, which everyone knows about today - Miner's Day. Now that the Soviet Union no longer exists, it continues to be celebrated on the last Sunday in August in countries such as Kazakhstan, Ukraine and, of course, Russia.

History of the holiday

In 1935, on the August night from the 30th to the 31st, A. Stakhanov, a mine worker, set an unprecedented record. The miner was able to extract 102 tons of coal, while seven tons were considered the norm. This started the movement called "Stakhanovite".

Only 12 years later, in 1947, A. Zasyadko and D. Onik (ministers of the coal industry) filed a petition to approve a new holiday. For the first time, the celebration of Miner's Day took place in 1948, on August 29.

Since then Miner's Day has been celebrated every year. Coal industry workers are congratulated not only by relatives and friends, but also by officials. In many cities, Miner's Day is a major event. Concerts are held in the central squares, fireworks flare up in the sky at night. Everyone celebrates this day in different ways, but weI would like to offer you one option for a party that can be held at school. After all, children should also learn more about this difficult profession.

Start of the holiday

No holiday is complete without hosts. They can be dressed in classic costumes, or they can personify any thematic characters. In this article, we are talking about how to celebrate Miner's Day. The scenario that we offer you assumes the presence of two leaders Ember (U) and Fire (O).

At the beginning, a voice sounds off-screen, which reads some solemn poem, congratulating all the miners on their professional holiday. After that, the presenters take the stage.

A: I wonder, do you guys know what qualities a man should have in order to become a real professional, a mine worker?

Children should name these qualities. In order to continue celebrating Miner's Day, the script suggests that the presenters bring on stage those who give the correct answers. For example - strong, brave, he althy, honest, efficient, responsible, etc.

You can have one relay race, or several. The options are only limited by your imagination. It can be done in several stages. On the first one, the participant, wearing a miner's mask, will make his way through the tunnel, on the second, he will jump to a chair in a bag and, sitting on it, will shout “Shift is over”, and then return in the same way and pass the baton to another participant. You can just run from start to finish and back in a gas mask. You can divide the teams into trios - two will have to run to the finish line and back with the third in their hands and pass the baton to the next trio.

Each team is given the text of the song that it will perform in karaoke. You can ask the audience to sing along to the participants. The theme of the songs should correspond to the spirit of the holiday. For example, let one team sing the folk song "Unharness, boys of horses", and the other - "Katyusha".
