Thank you day at our school. International Thank You Day: who do we thank? Thank you day is a holiday
One of the most polite days of the year falls on January 11, when the whole world celebrates the holiday of the magic word "Thank you" . The initiators of the approval of the holiday were UNESCO and the UN. The purpose of the event is to remind the inhabitants of the planet about the high value of politeness, good manners and the ability to thank others for their good deeds.
WordThank you According to psychologists, it really is magical. Hearing it, a person experiences emotions similar to those that arise in children when they are affectionately stroked on the head. Having received verbal gratitude, a person subconsciously tunes in to the positive.
Can you imagine how much positivity there is, for example, among waiters or salespeople? After all, they hear “thank you” a hundred times a day. Fortunately, in our country people have become a little more polite and have learned to say thank you not only for selfless help, but also for the paid service. However, additional lessons in politeness will never hurt anyone. Therefore, January 11th must be celebrated "World Thank You Day" or "International Thank You Day" .
Don't be silent like fish
Say “thank you” to everyone!
“Thank you” day, without a doubt
As important as a birthday!
Because the holiday of words
This is not so harsh,
Like any ordinary day.
Driving away the shadow from the sun,
This holiday has come to the house,
And now it’s difficult to leave!
Always be polite -
He will stay then!
January 11th - the most “polite” date in the year. This day marks World Thank You Day (not to be confused with American Thanksgiving, which is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Sunday in November).
Everyone knows from childhood that “thank you” is a “magical” word. Together with the words “please”, “give” and “mom” we say it first and continue to say it throughout our lives. The word “thank you” is an established abbreviation of the phrase “God bless” - this phrase was used to express gratitude in Rus'. The word “thank you” was first recorded in 1586, in a phrasebook published in Paris.
We are well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, But most of We express gratitude casually, without thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, the words of gratitude "thank you" and even "please" have magical properties, but they cannot be pronounced when a person is irritated. Some might say, "Well, thanks!" and so on, but no! This is not possible, this is not an etiquette rule! Psychologists believe that words of gratitude are signs of attention; they are verbal “strokes” and can warm you with their warmth.
We say “thank you” to each other every day, so it is very important to remember that true gratitude is only that which comes only from a pure heart!
Thank today everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate. And remember: “thank you” is a firefly word, so warm up the people close to you today!
Worldwide thanks
In the USA, this holiday is celebrated for a whole month - National Thank You Month! But the main event takes place on January 11 - National Thank You Day. Festivals are held in all major cities, and bustling fairs are held in the farming states. Thousands of people attend large concerts and local talent competitions! Everyone ends the performance with a short monologue, noting who and for what they say “thank you” today.
In the body of an adult who hears a sincere “thank you,” the same processes occur as in the body of a child when a loving mother strokes his head. At least that's what psychologists say.
International Thank You Day is celebrated on a grand scale in Europe as well.
This holiday has not yet acquired any special traditions, other than a general expression of gratitude. People simply gather for a festival, concert or charity dinner organized by the city authorities. Young guys hold flash mobs and relay races. For example, they line up in a long line and pass each other a huge plush heart with the words “Thank you for...”. Or they play “tag” with passers-by, in a random chain expressing gratitude to each other simply like this: “For a beautiful smile,” “For positive mood"etc.
Grateful Russia
If you believe the statistics, Russians say "Thank you" more often than Europeans. But for many, this is just a formality - a polite word spoken automatically. We also don’t value gratitude very much, so Thank You Day in Russia has two sides. It’s not so bad when a forgetful person silently accepts a favor or help. But when they respond to gratitude with something like, “You can’t put a thank you in your pocket and you can’t spread it on bread,” “You won’t be full with a thank you alone,” the magic word instantly depreciates and loses its deep meaning. In the USA there is also a similar saying: “Better a small cent than a big thank you.” Psychologists recommend expressing gratitude only sincerely. But this does not mean that you can remain silent when you think that the service is not worth the polite shuffle. The point is to learn to appreciate even the smallest support and to be happy about even a little help. Of course, you need to say “thank you” not only on holidays. But the date is so convenient! For many, the New Year holidays and vacations continue, friends meet almost every day, the refrigerator is bursting with goodies! Why not celebrate January 11th in a special, interesting and fun way? Or at least remind loved ones about a holiday that receives offensively little attention in Russia. For example, send out e-cards to everyone (or hand out real ones in person?) with the word “thank you” on the different languages peace. By the way, on Thank You Day, congratulations should not be just politeness, but real gratitude for specific help. Even the winter sun can shout “Thank you!” for the bright warm rays, and you probably have a lot to thank your friends and relatives for.
Many words carry a special meaning. Words of gratitude are pleasant in every sense, but swear words are negative. If you think about it, you can understand that a spoken word can sometimes bring more benefit or harm than any action. In our fast pace of life, we do not always have time to thank our loved ones for something. Time passes and everything is forgotten. You need to stop and think, maybe say the right words now? Words of gratitude can bring great satisfaction to a person and it is simply necessary to make such gestures sometimes.
January 11th is International THANK YOU Day. In our school within methodological topic schools“The influence of the conditions for organizing the educational process on the formation of a tolerant sociocultural environment during the transition to the second generation Federal State Educational Standard” The “Say Thank You!” campaign is taking place. (after the holidays). This is a Challenge to those who want to live and study interestingly.
"Thank You" Day Outside!
International day!
Join the game
This incomparable one!
We say “Thank you!” everyone,
We do it nicely.
Thank you - no problem
It's going to be a fun day!
How to say thank you correctly?
From early childhood we know how to pronounce this word; our parents, educators and teachers teach us this. If a person does not learn this word, then he is considered ignorant and illiterate. Saying thank you is not only a sign of good manners, but also something important. The word has many meanings, and it can be pronounced in different situations, in different ways.
The usual meaning of the word is gratitude, a way of showing gratitude and showing favor to others. So to speak, this is a kind of amulet that wards off all evil from its owner. The boomerang principle underlies the entire action of the word. There is a situation that many have encountered: your ill-wisher speaks negative words about you, and usually the reaction is not long in coming. You are also rude to him, and in reality a quarrel ensues. The quarrel itself is the main source negative emotions, and it never did any good. The most correct thing would be to say the word thank you in response to him, while the defense mechanism is automatically activated and all the negativity directed at you returns to the person who wished it. There are also situations in which hearing the word thank you becomes emotionally uncomfortable. Some express gratitude, so to speak, in sarcasm. In this case, the word is pronounced with a different connotation, from pronounced irony to unpleasant. If you take all the negativity on yourself, it won’t make it any easier for anyone. There are also cases of pronouncing the word thank you with tears in your eyes, in this situation it becomes clear that these are clearly not words of gratitude. When saying the word thank you, you need to put your whole soul into it, because you sincerely wish the person protection higher powers: “Thank you, so may good luck and prosperity be with you.”
The students of our school gave an interview in which they sincerely expressed their “Thank you!”
Danil Vashchenko ,11 years old: “Thank you - this is such gratitude. Thanks to everyone who helps us. Santa Claus - for a box of chocolates. I want to tell the teacher and everyone who feeds us. And I want to say my deepest gratitude to my mother, she helps me most often.”
Anastasia , 13 years old: “I want to say thank you to my teacher Rimma Viktorovna for doing everything for me: holding events, teaching classes. “Thank you to my friend for helping me with my studies, being friends and doing good deeds for me.”
Kolya , 8 years old: “Everyone I have is very different and everyone is good, I will thank them. I want to thank the teacher for everything.”
Georgy Vashchenko , 11 years old: “Thank you to Santa Claus for listening to my poem. To the teacher for the fact that I study and work.”
Nailya , 14 years old: “I want to thank you (psychologist) for your help. My friend for gifts and candy. Teacher (Melnikova R.V.) for hugging us.”
How is the holiday celebrated? This event is widely celebrated in many cities. There are fairs, competitions and many entertainment events. Young people hold street actions dedicated to this holiday and gather a lot of people ready to take part in it. The most polite date is celebrated on a grand scale and many celebrate this holiday with great pleasure.
How many times a day do we say thank you, what does it mean to each of us? World-renowned psychologist Virginia Satir wrote: We need four hugs a day to survive. We need eight hugs a day for support. We need twelve hugs a day to grow.”
PROMOTION: “Say “Thank you!” at our school! Who will say the word “Thank you” the most times? in one school day? Prize in the psychologist's office. Let us know who accepts the CALL. The whole class can take part in the action, or maybe someone individually will be the most grateful.
Say this wonderful word more often, and say it from your heart.
Believe me, everything comes back; someone will definitely say THANK YOU!

2. The history of the word “thank you.”
One day people came up with the idea of celebrating a holiday on January 11“World Thank You Day.”
In ancient times, our ancestors, when speaking words of gratitude, used only the verb “to thank”: they said: “Thank you!”, “Thank you!”.
This was how it was at the time when paganism dominated our land. When Christianity came, the word “thank you” was replaced with “thank you.”
The origin of this Russian word is beautiful and sublime!
It was born in the 16th century from the phrase"God bless." Our ancestors put much more into these two words than just gratitude. It is very reminiscent of a wish -a wish for salvation, turning to God, His merciful and saving power.Subsequently, the expression was transformed and shortened. And a word familiar to all of us from childhood was born"Thank you" .
The most polite of big city New York is considered the city of the world - “thank you” is most often said here. Moscow took 30th place in the politeness rating among 42 “big” cities. And it’s very rare to hear a word of gratitude in the most populous city in India - Mumbai
A grateful person is attentive and open to people, he notices any service done for him. He is ready to repay the same coin of kindness and responsiveness that he received from others.
How does it happen that one person is grateful and another is not? Why does this depend? From the mind, heart, education?
Gratitude can be expressed with a look, a smile and a gesture, which is called “gratitude without words.” A gift, which is so important during the holidays, also sometimes serves as a worthy way to give thanks. But most often we say this simple word with such great meaning - “thank you.”
3. Value problem situations.
UC: A polite person is always attentive to people, he tries not to cause them trouble, not to offend others either by word or deed. Sometimes guys behave rudely; it seems to them that in these cases they act as if they were independent.
UC: Now let's look at a few situations.
First situation.
Let's talk about what good and bad manners are.
Let Tanya be a mother, and Roma and Ira be her children. You are going to visit. “Mom” must explain to the “children” how to and how not to behave when visiting.
Second situation.
Mom told me to come home at 3 pm. But you don't have a watch. You will have to turn to someone senior. How will you do this?
Third situation.
Vasya and Kolya are traveling on a tram. An old woman comes in at the bus stop. How will you proceed?
Fourth situation.
Now listen to the task question and tell me what mistake Kostya made.
“Kostya comes to school in the morning. The teacher is standing at the door of his class. Kostya, seeing her, was delighted, ran up to her and began to tell her what an interesting book he read yesterday.” (Answers)
Right. Don't follow the example of such a boy. Remember that when entering the classroom you need to carefully undress, walk culturally and politely, greeting your elders and your friends.
4. Game situation.
Now let's play a game. I will read the story, and you, when necessary, insert polite words into my story (in unison).
“One day, Vova Kryuchkov went by bus. On the bus, he sat by the window and looked at the streets with pleasure. Suddenly a woman with a child entered the bus. Vova stood up and told her: “Sit down... (in unison, please). The woman was very polite and thanked Vova: ... (thank you). Suddenly the bus stopped unexpectedly. Vova almost fell and pushed the man hard. The man wanted to get angry, but Vova quickly said: ..... (sorry, please).
Well, you know polite words. Feel free to use them more often.
6. Game situation “Tell the sun.”
UC: Now we’ll play and find out from you, do you know “Polite Words”?
1. Even a block of ice will melt from a warm word... (thank you).
2. Even a tree stump will turn green when it hears... (good afternoon).
3. If we can’t eat anymore, we’ll tell mom.... (thank you).
4. The boy is polite and developed and says when meeting... (hello).
5. When we are scolded for pranks, we say... (excuse me, please)
6.In both France and Denmark they say goodbye... (goodbye).
Fizminutka (thank you in different languages).
Repeat in chorus after me!

7. Situations of reflection
UC : Listen carefully to A. Antonov’s poem “Is Vitya Polite or Not.”
Vitya offended the baby,
But in front of school in the ranks
Vitya asks:
"Sorry, I admit I was wrong."
The teacher came to class,
He put the magazine on the table.
Next is Vitya:
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
The debate has been going on in class for a long time
Is Vitya polite or not?
Find out about our dispute
And tell us the answer.
UC : Well, what do you think? Is Vitya polite or not?
Now listen to the following poem by S. Pogorelsky, “I overdid it.”
That's who we have politeness
Demonstrated in practice:
He's in the midnight quiet hour
Got my mother out of bed.
What's wrong with you?! - the mother cried, -
Is your son sick?..
I forgot to tell you:
"Mom, good night."
UC: Is this boy polite? How many of you do this too?
UC: Two passers-by were walking down the street, the first was 62 years old, the other was 8 years old. The first one had 5 items in his hands: a briefcase, 3 books, a large package. One of the books fell.
“Your book fell!” the boy shouted, catching up with the passerby.
"Really?" - he was surprised.
“Of course,” the boy explained, “you had three books plus a briefcase plus a package - a total of 5 things, and now there are four left.”
“I see that you know subtraction and addition well,” said the passerby, lifting the book with difficulty. “However, there are rules that you have not yet learned.”
What rules did the old man talk about?
(Sorry, your book fell. Please allow me to pick it up.)
UC: What will you do?
During a lesson, a pen or pencil falls from the teacher's desk.
(If the teacher did not notice this, or he does not have time to pick it up, you cannot get up from your seat in order to help the teacher).
What to do then? You really want to help the teacher! And this is the right DESIRE!!!
(Raise your hand, ask permission for help, raise it, say: “Please take it!”
And if something fell from your desk during class, what would you do?
UC: It happens that teachers scold YOU, trying to show that YOU are wrong in a given situation.
Consider the situation:
The teacher says to Kolya:
Kolya! You told me a lie. This is not good of you both towards me and towards God.
And Kolya answers:
Anastasia Vitalievna, thank you for helping me understand my bad deed. Please forgive me.
Another situation:
The teacher says to Vika:
Vetch! You didn't give me your homework notebook again.
And Vika answers:
Thanks for reminding me. Please forgive me. I will try to hand in my notebooks on time.
More...
Lena came to school wearing a blouse with a dirty stain on the sleeve. Her classmate noticed this and said: “Lena, your blouse is dirty!”
Lena answers:
“Thank you for telling me about this.”
8. Communication situation.
God Himself calls us to be polite, grateful and kind people.
Let's read the GOLDEN VERSE of our holiday. (On the poster).
What stories in the Bible can YOU think of that teach us to be grateful?
(The parable of the ten lepers. All the Books of the Bible call us to THANK GOD! Remember the Psalter: how many grateful andDavid speaks of the true Words in his psalms!..)
9. The situation of thinking about a read work.
Polite words
Little Dima never said “thank you”and "please". Every day, from morning to evening, his demands were heard:
- Play with me! Draw with me! Give me the pencils! - the boy shouted to his older brother Vita.
- Mom, buy me a wind-up car!
- Grandma, give me something to drink! Bring food to my room!
- Grandfather, read me fairy tales!
This behavior of Dima greatly upset his relatives, but they never refused him anything and fulfilled all his demands.
Mom constantly reminded the boy to be polite and say “please” when you ask for something, and “thank you” when you thank him.
“Why would I say these words?” - thought Dima. - “I get what I want without them.”
For some time, the boy continued to upset his loved ones with disrespectful treatment... But one day, they decided to teach him a lesson... One day, Dima returned home from school. It was an ordinary day, no different from other days. The boy threw off his backpack and, as always upon returning home, went to the kitchen where his grandmother was preparing lunch.
“Grandma, I’m hungry, give me something to eat,” he demanded.
- Vitya, let's go play sea battle, Dima shouted, walking past his brother’s room.
- Grandfather, I left my backpack in the corridor, bring it here!
Dima was sure that his grandparents and brother would do everything he told them, because this was always the case. He sat in his room and waited. Time passed, but nothing happened. Unable to bear it, Dima ran out of the room to see what was happening. Everyone was in his previous place and was in no hurry to carry out his orders.
“Vitya, why don’t you come and play with me!? Grandma, I'm hungry! Grandpa, where is my backpack!?” - the boy was indignant. However, no one paid attention to his requests. Everyone continued to go about their business. The relatives acted as if they had not seen or heard the boy. Dima was embarrassed and even upset. “Why doesn’t anyone answer my requests? Something is wrong here,” he reasoned. - “Perhaps they fell ill with some terrible disease, because of which they stopped hearing and seeing me?” These thoughts made Dima scared...
When mom returned from work, Dima ran out to meet her:
-Mom, mom, something terrible happened...
What happened, son? Why are you so excited? - Mom asked.
“Grandfather, grandmother and Vitya fell ill with a terrible disease,” the son blurted out.
What kind of disease is this?
They don’t hear or see me,” the boy said.
“Yes, what are you saying,” my mother was surprised. Why did you decide this?
- Because today they don’t notice me all day and when I ask them for something, they don’t answer and don’t do what I asked them to do. Mommy, what should we do now?
The mother looked at her son with a smile:
Tell me, son, do you remember the “polite” words I taught you?
- Of course, I remember: “thank you” and “please.” What does this have to do with it? - Dima was perplexed.
And at the same time. Did you say the polite word “please” to your grandparents and brothers when you asked them for something? - Mom asked.
“Nooooo,” the son answered embarrassedly.
“You see,” my mother said reproachfully. “That’s why your relatives didn’t see you and didn’t hear your requests, and didn’t answer them.
So that means they are not sick and see and hear everything?
Of course, you can see this right now.
How? - Dima asked.
Go and ask them for everything you asked for before, but now don’t forget to say the polite words “please” and “thank you.”
Dima ran up to his brother, politely said: “Vitya, play with me, please,” and froze in anticipation. “Of course, I’ll play,” my brother readily responded. The polite word “please” had an effect on Vitya.
Dima joyfully ran to his grandmother: “Grandma, feed me, please.” “Of course, grandson, now I’ll feed you.” “A polite word helped again!” - the boy rejoiced, “now all that’s left is to check on grandpa.”
“Grandfather, please bring my backpack, it’s so heavy.” “Now, my dear, I’ll bring it,” replied the grandfather. “Thank you, grandpa!” - Dima thanked in response.
Dima could not believe the miracle that happened before his eyes. It's so simple! You just need to say the polite word “please” when you ask for something, and you will receive it.Look, that's what you asked for. And when you receive it, you must remember to say “thank you.”
Dima remembered this lesson well. From then on, he always said “please” and “thank you” to everyone.
10. Completion
Even children know: it's ugly
It’s not enough to say “Thank you!” for kindness.
This word has been familiar to us since childhood.
And it sounds on the street and at home.
But sometimes we forget it,
And in response we just nod joyfully...
And already worthy of our pity
Quiet “Thank you” and “Please.”
And not everyone is ready to remember
The meaning of the hidden kind words.
The word is like a prayer, ask.
With this word: “God save me!”
YOU listened to all my words.
Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Our holiday has come to an end. I hope you understand everything and polite words will become good friends for you!
WORLD THANK YOU DAY Happy holiday - Thank You Day! All the gratitude cannot be counted, From kind sunny smiles Evil and revenge hid in a corner. Thank you! let it sound everywhere, A good sign throughout the Planet, Thank you - small miracle, A charge of warmth in your hands! Say it like a spell, and you will feel how suddenly a wish for goodness and happiness will be given to you new friend!
THANK YOU January 11th is a day on which it is customary to be polite and remember good manners more often. On this day, one of the international holidays is celebrated, which is called World Thank You Day. People say the word “thank you” every day. of different ages, gender, nationality, religion and even upbringing. But few people know that the expression of gratitude in the form of the word “thank you” originated in the Russian language many centuries ago.
HISTORY OF THE WORD “THANK YOU” Etymologists believe that during the times of paganism, in the everyday life of our ancestors, words of gratitude sounded like “thank you” or “thank you,” but with the advent of Christianity, our ancestors replaced them with a word that today sounds like “thank you.” Initially, the modern “thank you” meant a shortened version of the expression “God bless!” Our ancestors put into this expression something much more than just gratitude. It meant not just the gratitude of the interlocutor for the service you provided, but said that he was expressing a feeling of gratitude to life. Subsequently, the expression was shortened, and the familiar “thank you” was born, which heads the list of words in the rules of good manners.
INTERESTING FACT Interesting fact in the history of this word is that some experts claim that “thank you” arose during pagan times and is derived not from the expression “God save!”, but from “Save Bai.” Bai was one of the pagan gods. However, such speculation is rejected by most etymologists, and the origin of the word is attributed to the 16th century.
Politeness is more than just good manners! Our grandmothers taught our mothers, our mothers teach us that “thank you” and “please” are the main words with which a person expresses his gratitude, politeness and good upbringing. But is it really so important to say “thank you”? The word “thank you,” according to psychologists, is truly magical. Hearing it, a person experiences emotions similar to those that arise in children when they are affectionately stroked on the head. Having received verbal gratitude, a person subconsciously tunes in to the positive.
THANK YOU TODAY. Today, people are so immersed in their worries, problems and everyday bustle that they sometimes simply forget to say words to each other such as “good afternoon”, “thank you”, “please”, etc. Modern people- these are materialists brought up on phrases like “thank you, it doesn’t gurgle” or “you can’t put it in your pocket.” This means that today it’s unlikely that anyone will do a favor or perform a “thank you” for you. good deed. Is this approach to life correct? Probably not. Indeed, in pursuit of material good, we completely forget about the spiritual world. And for every person, the spiritual world is expressed in friends who come not for material goods and material gratitude.
THANK YOU IS HAPPINESS. After all, you must admit that sitting on a bag of gold alone, you are unlikely to want to laugh with happiness. It is doubly pleasant to share happiness with your friends, and therefore say words of gratitude to others more often. Did someone shake your hand when you got off public transport? Say, "Thank you." Did they help you carry a heavy bag? Say “Thank you” again. After all, kind words are always nice to hear and they are the ones who make people kinder, but only when you say them sincerely. THANK YOU
GIVE JOY When you wake up on January 11th, remember that kindness will save the world, smile and give words of gratitude to your loved ones, relatives, friends and people around you. And most importantly, give your “thank you” on this day and on other days of the year!
How can you celebrate "thank you" day at school? On this day, it is imperative to organize an event for children, the purpose of which is to instill politeness. On this day you can arrange a quest game. A group (or two groups) of children are given envelopes with a route (stops are indicated in it) and boxes (baskets, bags, etc.) in which they will need to put all the “thank yous” found. You should look for “thank you” at the stops indicated on the route. The team that reaches the finish line first will win. The game is played in the school building after school or on the street. What “mysteries” might there be? For example, one of the stops is some room in which there is no one. The guys look around carefully and understand that they need to find something. As a result, somewhere on the windowsill behind the curtain they find a sign with the inscription “Mercy” and put it in their basket, after which they move on. At one of the stops, for example, a teacher or a high school student may be waiting for them with an empty glass in their hands. He doesn’t say anything, but the children must figure out that they need to fill the glass with water, that is, help the person. When this is done, he will give the guys, for example, a badge with the word “thank you.” At another stop, the student asks the guys to help him solve the problem (here it is advisable to prepare an entertaining riddle problem). When the guys solve it, the student will thank them and give them, for example, a ribbon with the word “thank you” painted on it. To ensure that the quest does not last very long, but at the same time does not end too quickly, you need to come up with about 10 riddles, that is, include 10 stops in the route. Tasks can be not only search-intellectual (assemble puzzles, solve riddles, etc.), but also sports. At the end of the route, the organizers check that all the hidden “thank yous” are collected in the basket and award the winning team a prize. The second team that reaches the finish line later should also be rewarded. After this, you can invite the guys to tea and a disco.

2 student Friends, here you go just in case
Poems about a schoolboy alone
His name is... but by the way,
We wouldn't call it better here.
3 student
"Thank you", "Hello", "Sorry"
He's not used to pronouncing it.
A simple word "sorry"
His tongue did not overcome him.
2 student He won't tell his friends at school
Alyosha, Petya, Vanya, Tolya.
He only calls his friends
Alyoshka, Petka, Vanka, Tolka.
3 student Or maybe he is familiar to you
And have you met him anywhere,
Then tell us about it,
And we... We will say thank you.
Game (conducted by teacher):
Now let's play a game. I will read the story, and you, when necessary, insert polite words into my story (in unison).
“One day, Vova Kryuchkov went by bus. On the bus, he sat by the window and looked at the streets with pleasure. Suddenly a woman with a child entered the bus. Vova stood up and told her: “Sit down... (in unison, please). The woman was very polite and thanked Vova: ... (thank you). Suddenly the bus stopped unexpectedly. Vova almost fell and pushed the man hard. The man wanted to get angry, but Vova quickly said: ..... (sorry, please).
Well, you know polite words. Feel free to use them more often.
4 student One day people came up with the idea of celebrating a holiday on January 11 “World Thank You Day.”
5 student In ancient times, our ancestors, when speaking words of gratitude, used only the verb “to thank”: they said: “Thank you!”, “Thank you!”.
4 student This was how it was at the time when paganism dominated our land. When Christianity came, the word “thank you” was replaced with “thank you.”
5 student
The origin of this Russian word is beautiful and sublime!
It was born in the 16th century from the phrase "God bless." Our ancestors put much more into these two words than just gratitude. It is very reminiscent of a wish - a wish for salvation, turning to God, His merciful and saving power. Subsequently, the expression was transformed and shortened. And a word familiar to all of us from childhood was born "Thank you".
6 student New York is considered the most polite and largest city in the world - “thank you” is most often said here. Moscow took 30th place in the politeness rating among 42 “big” cities.
7 student A grateful person is attentive and open to people, he notices any service done for him. He is ready to repay the same coin of kindness and responsiveness that he received from others.
8 student We are all well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, but we express most of our thanks, as if by chance, without thinking about their meaning. However, words of gratitude have magical properties - with their help, people give joy to each other, express attention and convey positive emotions - something without which our life would become boring and gloomy.
6 student
How does it happen that one person is grateful and another is not? Why does this depend? From the mind, heart, education?
Song about kindness
7 student Gratitude can be expressed with a look, a smile and a gesture, which is called “gratitude without words.” A gift, which is so important during the holidays, also sometimes serves as a worthy way to give thanks. But most often we say this simple word with such great meaning - “thank you.”
9 student Thank you! - that’s what good sounds like,
And everyone knows the word
But it so happened that it
It comes out of people’s lips less and less often.
Today there is a reason to say
Thank you! To those who are close to us,
It's easy to become a little kinder
To make mom more fun,
And even a brother or sister,
With whom we often quarrel,
Say: Thank you! and in the warmth
The ice of resentment will melt soon.
I'll tell you a secret, friends:
All the power of the word is in our thoughts -
It’s impossible without kind words,
Give them to your family and friends!
Dance
Game "Say the Word" (conducted by teacher)
Now we’ll play and find out from you, do you know “Magic Words”?
- Even a block of ice will melt from a warm word... (thank you) Even a tree stump will turn green when it hears... (good afternoon) If we can’t eat anymore, we’ll tell mom.... (thank you) A polite and developed boy says when meeting ... (hello) When we are scolded for pranks, we say ... (forgive us, please) In both France and Denmark they say goodbye ... (goodbye)
10 student Happy holiday - THANK YOU Day!
I can’t count all the thanks,
From kind sunny smiles
Evil and revenge have huddled in a corner.
THANK YOU! let it sound everywhere
There is a good sign on the whole Planet,
THANK YOU - a small miracle,
A charge of warmth in your hands!
Say it like a spell.
And you will feel how suddenly
Wishing you goodness and happiness,
A new friend will give you!
11 student
Even children know: ugly
It’s not enough to say “Thank you!” for kindness. This word has been familiar to us since childhood. And it sounds on the street and at home.
But sometimes we forget it, And in response we just nod joyfully... And already worthy of our pity Quiet “Thank you” and “Please.” And not everyone is ready to remember The meaning of hidden kind words.
12 student The word is like a prayer, ask. With this word: “God save me!” YOU listened to all my words. Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
13 student
There is great power in the word “thank you”
And the water comes to life from him,
It gives wings to a wounded bird,
And a sprout sprouts from the ground.
Be grateful to the world on this day,
On the “thank you” holiday, open your soul,
Melt the ice, take winter away from your heart,
Any discord will subside at this time!
We wish you to be loved,
A strong family and success in work.
Say “thank you” to everyone more often
And you will be welcome on Earth!
14 student Thank today everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate. And remember: “thank you” is a firefly word, so warm up the people close to you today!
Teacher Our holiday has come to an end. I hope you understand everything and POLITE WORDS WILL BECOME GOOD FRIENDS for YOU!
