1. Вступительное слово.

Good morning guys! I am glad to see you at our lesson today for we’re having an unusual lesson – it’s a competition. So today we’re going to speak about various wondrous things we can find all over the world. I hope that you’ve looked up a lot of interesting facts about history, literature, political and cultural life, wildlife and famous people of different countries. I’m sure this information will be helpful today.

1. Представление команд, ознакомление с правилами игры.

Please, divide into three teams. Choose the captain. Think of the name of your team.

Let’s greet the members of the first team “…” Applause, please. Now, the second team, please. The members of the third team will be tourists choosing a route for their holidays. They will not only express their wishes using the found information but judge the work of the other teams as well. They will help me to score points. Your task is to get as many points as possible. The team with the highest score will be the winner.

The rules of the game are quite simple. You are to respect your group-mates and not to shout. And now it’s time to begin the game itself.

1. Основной этап (раунды):

1. “Warming up”. Say Tongue Twisters.

The first round is called “Warming up”. You should say Tongue Twisters (приложение 2): each member of the team says 1 tongue twister. If you pronounce it quickly and correctly, the jury scores one point. To begin with, let’s decide which team will be the first to start the round. Captains, will you come up and roll the dice? The captain with the highest number will get the right to begin the game.

• Our respected tourists, will you tell us the results of the first round?... Cheer up! It’s only the beginning of the game.

1. Questions.

It’s time to proceed. In this round each team should answer 7 questions (приложение 3). The numbers of questions are written on the board. You may choose the number of the question. We start with the team ‘…’. If the team doesn’t know the answer the other team can give the answer and score a point.

1. Countries.

This round is called «Countries». You should guess the names of countries (приложение 4). They are codified. Each team will get 1 point for each word. The team that will be the first, will get 3 additional points, the second – 1point.

Can we listen to the tourists now? Will you declare the results of the last three rounds?

1. Captains’ Competition. “Do you know English and Russian proverbs and sayings?

A good captain is the flag of the team. I’ll tell you the English proverbs (приложение 5). The captain raises his/her hand if he/she knows the Russian equivalent of an English proverb. The captain who puts up his hand first, gets the right to answer. Our jury, please, tell us who will put up the hand first. Mind, no point for the team, if I hear somebody shouting.

1. Let’s pass over to the next round which is called “A Dark Horse”.

This time you should read short descriptions you prepared at home and guess what wonder of the world it is (приложение 6). I have mixed them up so that you could not get the card you’ve done yourself.

Well, tourists, it’s time to declare the winners of today’s game and decide which team would make the best travel agency to go and see the world with. Congratulations to all the members of … team. You were the best. And the other teams were also great. I’m sure next time you’ll be luckier!

Thanks a lot to everyone for taking an active part in our lesson. You really demonstrated your perfect knowledge of the topic “Wonders of the world”. I hope you will all agree with me that we have perfectly broadened our minds using the information we prepared for the lesson but the result would be much better if we get an opportunity to go and see all these places with our own eyes. I wish you all to get such a remarkable opportunity and continuer broadening your minds through travelling. I hope you’ve had a nice time together ant learnt something new. Thanks to all of you!
