Scenario: Action One
Preparing scenes about the war, write down all the roles in advance and draw up the intended scenario. So, our scene consists of two actions. Initially, all the characters go on stage to the musical song-romance “Rio Rita”. They dance foxtrot or paso doble. In the middle of the song, the music is interrupted, an air alert sounds. The protagonists stop lining up in two small lines. Minute silence. And after that, the song of Claudia Shulzhenko with the saying name “June 22nd” sounds. During it, all the children line up at attention and begin to put on soldier caps and caps. With each verse, the song sounds quieter. In the background, someone says a poem: “Spring and summer together. Today they are visiting in Moscow ... "
A song called "Holy War." It begins to sound increasing, each time becoming louder. Children begin to march on the spot. One of the participants tells the poem "More recently, the smoke snaked ...". During this scene about the war, machine gun bursts, shooting and explosions are heard. The music calms down a bit. At this time, one of the wounded soldiers said: “The enemy attacked unexpectedly. We defended ourselves as best we could. But the forces were not equal. We retreated with heavy losses, and the enemy was preparing for a crushing blow. The front line moved towards Moscow. ”
After these words, a melody from the march of the defenders of Moscow begins to sound. Under it, the children march. Then the song abates (the first two verses should sound), and the second wounded man recites the verse “October gives the boulevards in rubles”. At the end of these lines a march is heard again, and then the first wounded man reads verses “No. Early enemy triumphs victory. " At this time, all the children continue to march.
A siren is heard, the rumble of aircraft is heard, and everyone lies down on the floor. Automatic burst and explosions. The second wounded man says the following words: “We defended our land. The enemy is repulsed, but not defeated. Other battles await us: for Stalingrad, Leningrad and other cities. We will definitely win. The victory will be ours! ”At this the first action of the war scene for schoolchildren ends.
Act Two: The Battle of Stalingrad
The second action begins with a change of scenery. In front of the viewer Stalingrad. The sirens howl, gunfire, explosions. Two wounded soldiers appear on the scene. They lie and moan. Doctors run up to them. The wounded are being carried away. On the other side of the scene, we see two women (these are local residents). They are driving a sleigh with a bundle of firewood. Another explosion is heard. They fall to the ground and freeze. At this time, the music "For the rest of my life." Shooting ends. Women rise and continue on their way.
In the middle of the war scene for children, a traffic controller appears. He directs the movement of cars. Women with luggage pass by him. At this time, he tells them: “Do not worry so, break through. Ours will definitely win! ”Women sigh heavily and leave the stage with sledges and firewood. The traffic controller turns to the audience and says: “Despite the complete blockade, our defenders of the Fatherland did not let the enemy into the city. People continue to work with us. Volunteers are on duty. They help to put out fires, they warn about flying planes. ” The light goes out and the traffic controller leaves.
During the skits about the war, the song “Dark Night” is heard for children. Two young mothers come out from behind the curtains, pumping babies in their arms. These are the wives of the military. They wipe away their tears and look out of an improvised window. One of them says: “Oh, where are our beloved ones? They did not even have time to see their children. God will give, and they will return alive. ” The second says: “They will definitely return with a victory.” The song is silent. Women leave, and then return to the stage with other characters.
Together they say: "The enemy failed to capture and defeat us. Our will is not broken. We won, but at a very high price. How many people died! How many soldiers, old people and children!" A pulsating sound is heard, and a moment of silence comes in honor of the innocent people killed during the war. All children bow their heads and look at the floor. Curtain. Behind him, a voice is heard and verses are heard: "A gray-haired soldier, tell your grandchildren."
"Days of War"

As a props, balloons, an impromptu blackboard and several desks with chairs are suitable for you. Also, for clarity, you can put up posters and greeting ribbons with the slogans: "Goodbye, school", "Hurray! High school graduation". From clothes you need to prepare in advance a school uniform (for boys and girls), white aprons and bows, knee-highs, military uniforms and hats (for boys), scarves (for girls), bandages, crutches, flowers.
At the beginning of the scene, schoolgirls dressed in uniform and white aprons appear. Snow-white bows flaunt on their heads. Two of them sit at the desk, write something, wink, whisper and laugh. The other two figuratively draw classics on asphalt and jump on them. A pleasant and calm melody sounds.
Boys appear on the scene. Each of them approaches the girl, takes her hand and leads forward. Waltz music is heard and all the children begin to move in its rhythm. Further, according to the scenario of a mini-scene about the war, an air-raid siren and shell explosions are heard. Children fall to the floor and cover their heads with their hands. The song "June 22nd" is playing. Then you hear the sound of the trumpet and the first lines of the song "Get up the vast country."
All the boys stand up, put on soldiers' caps and stretch themselves at attention, saluting (they make a military greeting). Girls rise after them. During this mini-scene about the war, the music calms down, and one of the graduates says: “War! What have you done, mean-spirited? It became quiet in our school. ” The second girl continues: “You made our boys men. They matured prematurely and went to war soldiers. ” Boys at this time, marching, leave.
The third girl says: “Farewell, our dear defenders of the Fatherland! Come back with a victory. " Fourth: “Do not spare the grenades and bullets. Do not spare the damned enemy. Come back soon! ”
One boy comes back, already dressed in a military uniform. A soldier’s backpack is hanging on his shoulder. He says, looking into the auditorium: “What have you done the war? Instead of school, trenches await us. Goodbye lovely girls! We promise to go back. ” Leaves. Noise is heard (soldiers are heard marching). Further, the scene about the war (short) is accompanied by the song “Little Blue Handkerchief”. All the girls take out handkerchiefs and wave towards the departing boys. The light goes out. Explosions, a siren and firing are heard. Then shouts are heard: “Forward, for the Motherland! Hurrah! Victory!"
Girls with flowers appear on the scene. The host behind the scenes says: “This war claimed millions of lives, broke hearts and gave a lot of grief. We managed to win, although the price of victory was high. But we will never forget the feat that our grandfathers and great-grandfathers performed. Thanks to them. We worship them. Remember. Love and grieve. " The song “Victory Day” begins to play. The boys come out: some on crutches, some with bandaged arms, legs, head. They stop opposite the girls. They hand flowers to the winners and lay their heads on their shoulders. This is the end of the war scene for school.
“Only Old Men Go Into Battle”: action 1

For the scenery, you will need details such as a window opening, frame of the house where the grandmother lives with the main character. From clothes, it is necessary to prepare a military uniform with appropriate headdresses, a scarf and a long dress for grandmother, wings, white clothes and a halo for an angel, a white coat with a red cross for the boy’s mother.
A small house appears on the stage (can be made of cardboard and painted). Twilight. The light from the lamp is visible in the window. Next comes the grandmother.

Look what you came up with. Where do you want to go to war? “Your mother went to the front as a nurse, your father is also fighting.” The boy comes closer and takes his grandmother's hand: “Let go, eh? There our neighboring boys all gathered to help us. I’ll go to the partisans. I’ll come in handy there. ”
Then the scene about the Great Patriotic War is accompanied by a sad melody. Five boys run into the room. All dressed in military uniforms, and behind bags of food and some personal items. Grandma comes to them with bewilderment: “Fathers. And you there too? It would be better if parents helped the housework and read books.

You will become the battalion commander and lead him to the attack. It will all be over soon. Your parents will return. You will also come home with a victory. Do not be afraid, you are under my protection. ” The angel makes another circle around the stage and flies away.
The sketch does not end there. The Patriotic War is in full swing, and Vanya is still lying on the battlefield. Mom approaches him. She peers into the boy's face. He sits next to his knees and strokes his hair: “Dear son, are you this? So big and adult. What's the matter? Is he alive? Open your eyes. ” The boy opens his eyes and raises his head: “Mom, it's me. I dreamed of an angel. He said that the war would end very soon. We will be together, and peace will come to the earth. ” Mom answers: “Yes, my dear! And there is. Our enemy shamefully flees. The war is over. And we are returning home! ” Vanya rises, and they hug tightly with mom.
