Страноведческая игра-викторина "Что ты знаешь о Великобритании"

Разделы: Иностранные языки, Внеклассная работа

В игре участвует любое количество команд, в состав которых могут войти ученики разных классов или классов одной параллели.
Каждая команда получает маршрутный лист, с которым совершает путешествие по “станциям”. Количество станций соответствует количеству команд.
Получив маршрутные листы, команды расходятся по станциям для выполнения заданий. Движение команд по маршрутам начинается одновременно. Посещать станции
следует строго по  маршрутному листу, чтобы команды не мешали друг другу. Выигрывает та команда, которая первой пройдет все станции и выполнит правильно все задания.
Кабинеты, где будут находиться станции, оформляются заранее. На дверь каждого кабинета прикрепляется  табличка с названием станции. Помощники-консультанты – старшеклассники объясняют, контролируют и оценивают правильность выполнения заданий. После прохождения всех станций команды собираются вместе   для подведения итогов и награждения.
