Very often, funny skits are used at various events. Miniatures about vegetables are extremely appropriate for the Autumn Ball or Usually they resemble short theatrical fairy tales.

Problems for skits about vegetables

Such interludes, performed at children's events, broaden their horizons, because kids learn something new from the world of plants. about vegetables can also relate to relationships between people. This happens because Potatoes and Cabbage, Carrots and Onions, Beetroot and Pumpkin seem to come to life and acquire human character traits.

Thus, funny scenes about vegetables also cultivate a variety of positive qualities in children. Although sometimes they can make fun of negative character traits.

Autumn ball is a fun holiday!

Not only kids, but even high school students can act out funny scenes about vegetables. At the Autumn Ball, it is quite possible to organize a sideshow competition on this topic, presented by different classes.

An interesting quiz will be held in which the audience must name the characters who participate in the skits. Let the actors not use costumes to create a certain difficulty in guessing. The riddles can be based on the fairy tale “The Adventures of Cipollino” by Gianni Rodari.

Impromptu fairy tale

You can put on a funny performance without any preparation. Impromptu staging looks very fun. Anyone from the audience becomes an artist. They are given roles and words. You should go on stage immediately after the presenter names the character and give your speech.

Pumpkin: “Well, leave me alone... Let me sleep!”

Tomato: “Is it really my fault that I’m so attractive and charming!”

Cucumber: “And at the other end of the village the vegetables will be more beautiful...”

Cabbage: “I would like another fur coat for the holiday. Who would give it, eh?”

Turnip: “Well, my grandfather imprisoned me... If I free myself, I will take revenge!”

"A difficult situation arose in citizen Grandfather's garden. He wanted to harvest the harvest. He approached Pumpkin. Pumpkin: “Well, leave me alone... Let me sleep!” Well, just like how he himself screams in the morning when his old woman sends him to work in the garden. It turns out that he raises his hand.

Grandfather sighed and went to the Tomato. Tomato: “Is it really my fault that I’m so attractive and charming!” Grandfather is ashamed to raise his hand against him - really, what is his fault? He himself was once a handsome man. Or wasn't it? Or not quite handsome? It doesn't matter now!

I decided to pull out the turnip. Turnip: “Well, my grandfather imprisoned me... If I free myself, I will take revenge!” Grandpa was completely freaked out. Yes, there was such a thing in my youth, together with a classmate we bullied, and the young Grandfather then blamed all the blame on his friend. Jumped aside as if stung!

Rushed to Cabbage. Cabbage: “I would like another fur coat for the holiday. Who would give it, eh?” Immediately, the old man’s neighbor, to whom he was knocking wedges, came to mind - she also kept demanding his fur coat.

Then he decided to indulge in salads. I went to the garden bed where I was planting cucumbers. Cucumber: “And at the other end of the village the vegetables will be more beautiful...” That’s all I heard from afar. Apparently, the well done Cucumber galloped off to the other end of the village. Just like Dedok himself in his youth.

So Grandfather remained hungry. And the moral of the story is: treat others the way you want others to treat you."

“Lazy cucumber bush” - a skit about vegetables

A funny interlude reveals the meaning of the presence of tendrils in some plants, with which they cling to support. At the same time, the fairy tale ironizes laziness, one of the most common human shortcomings. Many funny skits about vegetables aim to instill in children hard work and a desire to learn new things.

Artists portraying fairy tale heroes first sit with their hands clasped around their knees and their faces downcast. Then they raise their heads and look around. Hands slowly spread to the sides. Then they rise to their full height. Only one boy remains sitting on the floor.

The gardener comes, rejoices at the seedlings, waters them from a watering can. Then she places a support near them. Gym racks are suitable for this. The owner admires her work and says: “It will be very convenient for my cucumbers to cling to the support with their antennae! They will crawl along it up towards the sun, and the fruits will not lie on the bare ground.”

The largest Cucumber:

Well, well done guys!

Bequeathed by the fathers:

For support, cucumbers,

Well, cling to your mustache!

All Cucumbers grab the supports with their hands. And one - Lazy Cucumber - continues to sit.

The largest Cucumber:

Well, you, funny little guy,

Why don't you obey?

Or are you not a cucumber?

Are you lying on the ground?

Lazy Cucumber:

I'll do what I want!

I don't need your advice!

The largest Cucumber:

Well, okay, I’ll keep quiet...

Then, my friend, don't howl!

The sun was shining, the rain was watering the cucumbers. The bushes grew, fruits appeared on them - beautiful green cucumbers.

Gardener: “Oh, what wonderful cucumbers I have grown!” She pretends to collect fruits from the bushes in a basket. And then he comes across a Lazy Cucumber lying on the ground.

Vegetable gardener:

Oh, what is this?

There are fruits on the ground...

And they are completely rotten

From heat and water...

I'll pull it out soon

So that everyone doesn't get sick!

She “pulls out” the bush and pushes it off the stage. He resists and shouts: “I don’t want to! Leave me alone! I want to lie on the ground some more!”

Presenter: “So because of his laziness, the Lazy Cucumber died, he was unable to produce good tasty fruits, he was unable to make friends with his neighbors. After all, only those who love work live together and have fun!”

Poem about a cucumber.

Well done in the garden,

You are a green cucumber.

You were born with pimples,

Managed to be handsome.

You have a trailer of kids,

You are tastier than all the candies.

We waited a long time, and finally a cucumber grew in the beds.

We will pick it, salt it,

Riddles about cucumbers:

These tough guys

They hide in the leaves in the garden bed.

Twin couch potatoes

Turning green. (Cucumbers)

Climbing on a rope

Brothers from the garden bed.

These brothers are twins

And their names are. (Cucumbers)

The calves are smooth

Tied to the garden bed

They lie in rows

Green themselves.

Guess it, well done

What's our name? (cucumbers)

Lounging in disarray

On your feather bed

One hundred green bear cubs

They lie with nipples in their mouths,

Continuously sucking juice

And they grow.

Without windows, without doors, the room is full of people.

For appetizers, for salad,
With garlic for aroma,
Finally, for pickling
It will come in handy... ( cucumber )

Growing in the garden
Green guys.
Daring fellows,
And their names are...

I am both fresh and salty.
All pimply and green.

Subtle little trickster.

Hides the body...( cucumber )

Dedicated to all fans of green, pimply, crunchy...

X International Cucumber Festival in Suzdal

What do we know about the truly Russian snack - cucumber?

It turns out, no more than about avocado and kiwi. Do not agree?

Then the question to ask is: is a cucumber a vegetable or a fruit?

Well done, that's wrong. Cucumber is a berry.

Moreover, unripe, unripe - “agourus”, according to the ancient Greeks. For them, in Greece, where everything is available, perhaps the cucumber set their teeth on edge. But in India, in its homeland, the gherkin enjoyed great respect. And how could it be otherwise, because the cucumber vine’s pedigree goes back 7 thousand years!

Anyone who has never been to Suzdal has never eaten cucumbers!

“In the city of Suzdal, due to the kindness of the land and the pleasantness of the air, there is an abundance of onions, garlic, and especially cucumbers,” wrote the first historian of Suzdal, the cleric of the Nativity Cathedral, Anania Fedorov, in the 18th century.

We are absolutely sure that the same fruitful picture could be observed in the 13th or 15th centuries - when the cucumber was brought from its homeland of India to Russia. That’s when Suzdal proclaimed itself a cucumber power, and so categorically that no one argues to this day - neither Lukhovitsy near Moscow, nor Istobensk from near Kirov... And the inhabitants of this power have been called “Suzdal borage people” since those ancient times.

“Cucumber” worries are more important than important things. After all, the hero A.N. Ostrovsky said: “What’s the matter! What is it compared to eternity and pickled cucumber!

For Suzdal residents, cucumbers are their first passion. For centuries, Suzdal residents have been comprehending the secrets of capricious and whimsical cucumbers. How he nursed them with small children, calling them “pikul” - a smaller cucumber, “teenagers” - “gherkins”, “greens”. I even felt sorry for the tiny “pecker”... At the festival, for the first time, the organizers will honor the famous cucumber families of Suzdal.

Make some noise, celebrate, crunch your cucumber!

Cucumber eternity and cucumber infinity have become the leitmotif of the annual cucumber festivals in Suzdal. Anyone who once attends the Cucumber Festival will not be able to remain indifferent to this emerald, pimpled miracle. The cucumber will become familiar both in the garden and on the table - in every family. Russian and overseas guests come to crunch on the Suzdal cucumber. Friends from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, and Mexico visited the green birthday boy. In this anniversary year, we are waiting for the sister cities of the Suzdal region - a delegation from the city of Chervensk, Lublin Voivodeship of the Republic of Poland. Our guests prepared surprises - folklore songs and a vegetable garden.

And again on the big stage of the cucumber festival - He! The famous “Paganini with a balalaika” Alexey Arkhipovsky (travelling from France to Germany). For the first time, guests of the festival will be treated to a duet between Sergei Starostin (folk wind instruments) and Mario (percussion). Sergei Starostin's voice cannot be confused with any other. We recognized him in the Italian film Doctor Zhivago, although his last name is not mentioned in the credits... Starostin is an outstanding performer of Russian folklore, the author of many musical projects, a nominee for the World Music Awards 2003, annually awarded by the British corporation BBC to the most interesting musicians in the world, - those who work in the genre of ethnic music. For many years he has been collecting and studying Russian folk songs; he has taken and preserved about 3,000 songs from folklore expeditions. The famous wrestling club “Kitezh-grad” also did not stay away from cucumber passions - it prepared a whole performance on a vegetable theme.

For the first time on the festive stage!!! KVN team

Suzdal “One and a half kilograms of cucumbers...”. Let's laugh together! For little gourmets, the museum staff prepared a children's performance “The Cheerful Cucumber.” The children will take part in master classes on making cucumber souvenirs. For fans of body art - cucumber painting on the body.

You can talk a lot about the holiday. But it’s better to come to Suzdal and see everything for yourself. And, of course, try it. Soup, jam, rolls - all made from cucumbers - this menu is six thousand years old. Bon appetit! The organizers plan to hold a culinary duel on stage. Who its participants are - the intrigue remains... And the best housewives-cooks will be able to receive a prize for the most delicious dish. There will be a lot of prizes - for the longest, the saltiest, the best cucumber...

According to tradition, the Vladinvesttur company has prepared a reward for the best cucumber costume - a trip to the cities of the Golden Ring. A cheerful, beautiful and delicious holiday has come to our street. After all, it was not in vain that they said in the old days: “Green street for green cucumbers!” And - festive!

J. Dark
In summer, a garden is like a city!
It contains one hundred thousand citizens:
tomato, peas, cabbage,
zucchini and eggplant.

Well, we are interested in the vegetable that I find in the grass, he says to himself:
E. Grudanov
– I am ..... a vitamin swashbuckler!
In the summer I ripen in the garden,
And in winter - in the greenhouse.
Everyone wants to be my friend
After all, they eat me with everything:
In a sandwich and with potatoes,
And in the salad - with a fork, spoon,
At breakfast, at dinner, and at lunch...
There is nothing more useful!

They tell me in the morning
All friends in our greenhouse:

You are more and more
You're getting more and more beautiful...

He says: “You will mature tomorrow,
And you are no more tender..."
The sun echoes: “Yes, you are right...
How he has grown, well done!
Worthy of glory to the whole world -
Our green cucumber.

V. Filippov
Under the green leaves
They cleverly hide from Anya.
To meet them
Anya needs to try:
They bend their backs in bow,
Invite them all to the basket.
These are such proud people -
In the garden... cucumbers!

Cucumber vines –
Bananas don't grow on them
Just a green cucumber
Clever, sweet daredevil!
Cucumber tightrope walker
It's important to walk along the ropes.
Higher, higher, closer to the sun,
The mustache-spring curls tenaciously...
Drinks dew at early dawn,
On a hot day, rain is more welcome!
I was saturated with warm light,
Blown by the clean wind,
The arrow became round-sided,
With a resounding crunch it is ripe!

1st round “Field of Miracles”

If it is difficult for children to give an answer right away, you can try to guess by letter.
Do you know: the history of the cucumber?
There is no vegetable crop in the world older than the cucumber. It has been cultivated for about 6 thousand years. India is considered the homeland. Its wild relatives still grow there today.
What is the name of Indian cucumber?

(a photo of an Indian cucumber and a crossword grid with a task are projected on the slide)
(momordica)
Momordica is a herbaceous climbing vine from the pumpkin family. It has carved leaves, fragrant flowers and unusual fruits that are ripe and look like exotic bright orange flowers. It has many names: Indian or yellow cucumber, crocodile cucumber, crazy melon, Indian pomegranate, balsamic pear.

Archaeological excavations and ancient books indicate that cucumbers were “tasted” already 3 thousand years ago BC. Cucumbers were cultivated in both Egypt and Greece. This is evidenced by numerous frescoes depicting cucumber vines that decorated the walls of temples. According to Eastern legend, the cucumber owes its origin to an Indian rajah, who had 60 thousand children, which supposedly corresponds to the number of seeds in a cucumber.

What was the name of the Egyptian queen who glorified the cucumber, believing that she owed her beauty to masks made from its juice?
(a photo of Cleopatra with a task, a crossword puzzle grid, is projected onto the screen)

(Cleopatra)
The cucumber was also held in special esteem by the Roman emperors. Doctors of Ancient Greece considered it a medicine. Christopher Columbus used cucumber on his long voyages as a remedy against scurvy. For a long time, cucumbers were considered a food worthy only of blue blood.

As for the cucumber history of our country, cucumbers most likely came to us from East Asia. And although the first chronicles tell us “About cucumbers in Russia” only from the 16th century, in fact the Russians knew about this vegetable since the 9th century. It turns out that cucumber is one of the few plants whose fruits are eaten unripe and green. “Agouros,” roughly the name of this vegetable in Greek, means “unripe.” Cucumber vines grow well and bear fruit in fertile soil, and are very demanding of light and timely watering. The optimal temperature for growing cucumber is 18 -26°C. At a temperature of 15°C, the cucumber sharply slows down its growth, and at a temperature below 10°C it stops growing, the roots and root collar become diseased and the plant dies. Spring cucumbers can contain large amounts of harmful nitrates! To reduce the likelihood of harm to health, spring cucumbers need to be peeled, where the maximum amount of harmful substances accumulates. You also need to cut off the ends by two centimeters on both sides of the cucumber. So, be careful and remember that cucumbers can be not only beneficial, but also harmful!

A mouse lives there and will bite your tail off.

Cucumber Festival (author Roza Agafonova)
(words can be printed out and given to the teams, musical accompaniment is desirable)
I came for a holiday
Conquer heels of hearts.
And try lightly salted
Istobensky cucumber.

We're walking, and there's a guy next to us
Repeats endlessly
-Won’t you really have to?
I should try the cucumber.

I got a cute one
Pickled cucumber,
Presented it with a smile
Daring fellow.

There on the river, in Istobensk
Boats hit the pier
Here is the recipe for each pickling,
How did you receive your inheritance?

Delicious when in salad
There is a pickled cucumber,
How to salt the Istoben style,
My father taught from childhood.

Once I plucked it furtively
A cucumber from someone else's garden,
I'm sure it's sweeter than honey
He's from someone else's garden.

I salted the cucumbers in a tub,
To crunch sweetly in winter,
My neighbor came to see me
We ate everything in one sitting.

With the baby in the garden, in the garden bed,
The cucumbers played hide and seek.
The cucumbers won -
Don't make a fuss, well done!

I cut a cucumber
For a hundred thin rings,
I lay down on the lawn wearing a mask,
The geese thought it was duckweed
These are the trawls - get lost:
My whole face was torn off.

The cat is a sneaky spoiler
He got into the greenhouse with the cucumbers.
He had fun as best he could,
The bulldog hasn't scared him off yet.

Begged for a long time from a neighbor
I'll have some cucumbers for lunch
Suspicious neighbor
He answered me: “What nonsense!?”

V. Rykov
My cucumber is the best.
I'm not afraid of its thorns,
I'll stroke the cucumber
And the thorns are all over.

So everything will be alright
There will be harvest soon
If you want, collect it.

T. Krylova
Cucumber on a plate
Mom gave it to me
I don't want to eat it
That's it!
But I decided to try
And I took a little bite,
And then one more time,
And then another piece.
It turned out to be delicious
And from all sides.
I shout loudly to my mother -
I still want a cucumber!
I only hear in response -
There are no more cucumbers!

Culinary competition - in what dishes can we find cucumbers?
List and share the recipe for the dish.
(salads... pickle soup...)
Do you know that…
At first, the vegetable was grown for palace needs, but soon it became available to ordinary people - thanks to the Russian barrel. Our ancestors considered its taste too bland and began to salt it like mushrooms. The first such experience dates back to August 26, 1507.
The peoples of the world have come up with different ways to pickle cucumbers: with sugar, cinnamon, turmeric, peanuts. In the Pacific Islands, cucumbers are wrapped in banana leaves and buried in the ground. In Russia, they ferment in barrels that are lowered into the river, in pumpkins, and stuff them before salting.
