Task 9. GAME ’’WHO STOLE MY HEART?’’
Teacher: I think it’s time to relax and the jury will count the points of the teams. The task is to guess who stole the heart.
(A girl from team ‘Sweethearts’ sits with her back to the class. Her hands are holding a paper heart behind her back. A boy from team
‘Honey Bunny’ is chosen to walk up as quickly as he can and take the heart. He returns to his seat and puts the heart out of sight. The girl turns around and says:”Who stole my heart? Was it you?”(name a pupil in the class.) She can guess three times. If she guesses correctly she stays in front and plays again. If she doesn’t guess correctly the boy who stole the heart gets to go in front.
At the end of our Club of Merry and Smart People we’ll ask our jury to tell us about the results of our game. What is the score? Who is the winner? Whose team is better: the girls’ or the boys’ one. Жюри объявляет результаты игры. Команды заканчивают игру песней “Мой Валентин”.
So it’s time to finish our interesting game and at the end of our meeting we shall sing lovely English song - “My Valentine”.
My Valentine
I have a little Valentine
That someone sent to me
It’s pink and white
And red and blue,
And pretty as can be.
Forget-me-nots
Are round the edge,
And tiny roses, too; and
Such a lovely piece of lace,
The very palest blue.
And in the center
There’s a heart.
As red as red can be!
And on its written
All in gold, “To You”,
“With Love from Me”.
