We are all well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in Everyday life, But most We express gratitude 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 meager and gloomy.
It is not without reason that many tourist guides and instructions to tourists often indicate that the word “thank you,” pronounced even with an accent in the language of the host country, increases the speed and quality of service and helps to establish a calm and pleasant vacation.
It is believed that Russian word"thank you" was born in the 16th century from the oft-uttered phrase "God save."
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 high value politeness, good manners and the ability to thank others for good deeds.
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.
Psychologists have found that words of gratitude have a positive effect on a person, on his emotional condition and mental activity. And the word “thank you” is the most grateful of all grateful words!
It is easy to apply in life, it is very simple and sincere. Of course, if it comes from the heart, from a heart overflowing with gratitude. Only in this case will it play its magical role. The word “thank you” is a conductor for establishing warm, friendly relationships.
The motto of the day was:
Let it sound everywhere, thank you
There is a good sign on the whole Planet,
THANK YOU - a small miracle,
A charge of warmth in your hands!

Poems about a schoolboy alone

He's not used to pronouncing it.
A simple word "sorry"
His tongue did not overcome him.
He won't tell his friends at school

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.

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 is 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" .
New York is considered the most polite large city in 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. A teacher is standing at the door of his class. Kostya, seeing her, was delighted, ran up to her and began to tell what he was like yesterday interesting book read." (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 happened to 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:
Vika! 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 do you say that?
- 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 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!
My dear schoolchildren, hello! Dear moms and dads, I’m glad to see you in the “Projects” section.
On the winter day of January 11, you and I will celebrate a polite date - “World Thank You Day”. What kind of holiday is this? On this day, everyone sincerely thanks each other for good deeds, replenishing their collection of good manners, paying a little attention to others, creating a joyful mood for themselves and others.
Not familiar with this date yet? Then read quickly and share with your friends to join the ranks of the educated and grateful, and take part in the international “thank you” campaign.
Lesson plan:
What kind of word is “thank you”?
The history of the holiday goes back hundreds of years. Many centuries ago, in Russian, gratitude was expressed only with the verbs “thank you” and “thank you.” Paganism reigned then. When Christianity appeared in Rus', these verbs gradually began to go out of use.
The ancestors began to say “God bless!” as a form of gratitude more often. Believing Christians poured their souls into such words and with all their hearts desired salvation, turning to the saints. Therefore, words of gratitude were spoken exclusively with good intentions. You couldn’t say “God forbid!” in a state of irritation.
By the 16th century, this phrase was shortened to the “thank you” we are familiar with today. After this word appeared in a Paris phrasebook in 1586, it became firmly established in the language of communication between people. And at the moment, psychologists are confident that this word is truly magical, carrying a positive attitude.
This is interesting! On "thank you" day major cities Popular events take place all over the world - festivals and fairs, concerts and competitions. So, for example, there is such a gratitude relay race - people line up in a long line and pass a plush toy - a heart - down the chain, saying “thank you for...”.
How to celebrate "thank you" day?
No one can reliably say who exactly decided to celebrate the global “thank you” holiday. Many are inclined to believe that the initiative came from international organizations– UN and UNESCO.
But some people believe that government bodies have nothing to do with the date of celebration. And they came up with it ordinary people- employees of a large manufacturing company greeting cards, who wanted to remind the inhabitants of the planet that we have such a wonderful word, and one day we can all say “thank you” loudly and unanimously.
This is interesting! According to statistics, Russians say “thank you” more often than Europeans. But not because we do it meaningfully, but simply because we say the word “thank you” automatically, without putting our soul into it. But those living in New York are considered the most grateful. Moscow, alas, is only in 30th place among 42 large polite cities.
Be that as it may, there is one more positive holiday in the world! How can you celebrate it? Of course, among your loved ones and friends.
You still have time to prepare and, after returning from the holidays, offer to thank each other on January 11th. There you are great idea to create a good mood.
"Thank you" for friends
Make small “thank you” cards for your classmates with emoticons and an inscription. Each card must be signed with the names of everyone in the class. Each student should have several of these “thank you” notes. On International Thank You Day, you need to distribute kits that each of your classmates will give as a sign of gratitude for something to others.
For example, Vanya will receive a “thank you” from Masha for the donated pen, and Tanya from Kolya for her help with math. As a result, everyone will hand out “thank you” cards with their name on them and receive them with others. As a result, the one who has the most cards will become the kindest, and the one who does not have any of his own will become the most polite.
Today, on World Thank You Day,
I thank all the people for everything!
For joy, for the radiance of smiles
I say “thank you” to you too.
This is the kind of politeness holiday that all the inhabitants of the planet have. Let's all celebrate it together to make the world a kinder place. But remember that you need to say kind words not only on holidays!
With wishes to always be educated and cultured!
Evgenia Klimkovich.
WORLD THANK YOU DAY Happy holiday - Thank You Day! All the gratitude cannot be counted, From the kind sunny smiles Evil and revenge huddled in a corner. Thank you! let it sound everywhere, A good sign throughout the Planet, Thank you - a 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 in the days 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 back in the days of paganism 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 you a favor or do a kind deed for “thank you.” 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 spiritual world is expressed in friends who do not come 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’s doubly pleasant to share happiness with your friends, so say more words gratitude to others. They gave you a hand when you came out 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 puzzle task). 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.
