Ход мероприятия:

1. Приветствие:

Teacher: Good morning, girls! I’m glad to see you. Today our lesson will be unusual. We are going to play a game. It is called “Global English Quiz”.

2. Объяснение правил игры:

Teacher: Our game will be called “The Global English Quiz”. In this picture-map you can see the path which you should go through from the START up to the FINISH. You are to divide into 4 teams. The rules of the game are simple: one member of the team casts the cube and makes as many steps on the map as the figure on the cube shows. Then this team gets a question which must be answered. If the answer is correct the team doesn’t change its position on the map. If the team is mistaken, then it goes back to the previous position on the map and the other team begins to play. If one team is mistaken and the other knows the right answer, this team can get one point as a bonus and make one step forward. In this case you should keep silence and raise your hand. The team which reaches the FINISH first wins the game.

Don’t hurry! Discuss the questions carefully within the team. To answer these questions you should know the peculiarities of the English language and the history and the culture of the English-spoken countries. Some questions may seem to be difficult, try to guess using your grey cells. You can get the answer logically. Good luck! Go!
