Сценарий игры

I. Вступительное слово учителя.

– Hello, boys and girls! I’m glad to see you. Today we have an unusual lesson. We are going to play the game. We have two teams. Each team has a captain. Introduce yourselves. (The teams Angry Cats and Super Heroes introduce themselves).

We are going to play «Treasure Hunt». So I see that you are ready to play.

It is known that one man visited a lot of countries. He had a lot of money. What did he do with his treasure? He hid his treasure in one of the countries in a big coffer. It’s not easy to find it and it’s not easy to open it. We need a special code. We should do a lot of tasks to get the letters of the code. So today we are going to look for treasure. Are you ready to do it? Great! How are we going to travel? Oh, we have a balloon. We’ll fly. But to start our journey we are to prepare for it. Let’s see who will be the first to start the game. Captains come here. Roll the dice.

Our balloon is flying over cities and towns, fields and forests, over oceans and seas. Where is our balloon?

II. We are in the country of Noughts and Crosses

Look at the blackboard. To get the letter of the code each of you one by one comes to the blackboard and takes the picture. You say what it is. If you are right, we give you one point. The sign of the team Angry Cats is a “nought” and the sign of the team Super Heroes is a “cross”. The team that wins gets the letter of the code.

Get one letter of the code.

III. Now we are flying to the country of hidden verbs. Our task is to find TEN irregular verbs among these letters and name their second form then translate them. For each correct answer you’ll get a smiley. (SMILEYS)

How many smileys have you got?

Well done! Get two letters of the code.

IV. We are flying. Oh, what has happened? We are falling. Something has broken down. (Учитель снимает шар и открывает внутреннюю часть доски.) We are in the country of broken sentences. We can see words here. Let’s make up sentences. Captains come to the blackboard and make up sentences. The team can help the captains. (SMILEYS)

Jane’s mother bought her a new overcoat yesterday. (7)

She will put it on tomorrow. (5)

Jane will be the most beautiful girl in her class. (9)

Look at these sentences and make up a story.

How many smileys have you got? Get two letters of the code.

V. Oh, our balloon is in the sky again. What’s the matter? Our balloon has become white. What are we going to do? Let’s fly to the country of colours. We are making our way to the country of colours. What a wonderful country! What bright colours! Let’s land and draw our balloon.

- Colour the seasons BLUE.

- Colour the weather words YELLOW.

- Colour prepositions GREEN.

Show me the pictures. Your pictures are so beautiful! And each team gets a code letter.

VI. We go on our journey. Where is our balloon now? We are in the country of proverbs. Match the beginning of the proverb and the ending then give its Russian equivalent. (SMILEYS)

Well done! Get two letters of the code.

VII. Let’s go on our journey. We are making our way to Treasure Island. Maybe our treasure is there. You have a page with the secret code. Solve the puzzle and maybe you’ll learn where the treasure is.

(The treasure is under the boat between the trees).

Get some letters of the code. (2 letters)

VIII. Oh, here is the coffer but I can’t open it.

Angry cats, how many letters have you got? You have all the letters of the code sentence. Make up a sentence using these letters.

I LIKE ENGLISH! (1 letter)

I can open the coffer. What is the treasure? We have gold medals for the winners …….. and silver medals for …………. Take them please! Our trip is over. You’ve found the treasure. Let’s fly back home. And I want to tell you «Good bye».
