I. Beginning

a) Greeting and explaining the rules of the game.

Teacher: Dear boys and girls! Today we are going to have an unusual lesson - a competition between three teams. It will be a game on the country studies of Great Britain. We are going to speak about land and people, the government, culture, holidays and customs of Great Britain.

Listen to the rules of our game. The questions have been divided into 4 categories: “The land and its people” (green field), “Political system” (blue field), Culture (yellow field), Holidays and customs (pink field). There are 9 questions on each field. You may choose the category and the number of question on your own. If you answer the question correctly, you `ll make one step forward on the spiral. The more questions you answer, the closer you will be to the surprise. The winner will receive the surprise. You will answer in turn but both teams must discuss the questions. If the team doesn't know the correct answer, another team may have a try to answer it. You may use the map of Great Britain to help you.

And now the captains of the teams come to the table and choose the colour of your magnets and draw a card with the number which shows who will start the game.

b) Dividing into teams and choosing their captains.

c) Captains choose magnets and draw lots to decide who will start the game.
