Teacher: Good morning, dear boys and girls. I’m very glad to see you today. Today I have this wonderful big box with a prize for you. But unfortunately it is locked and the key is carefully hidden. How do you think, what you should do?

Of course you task for today is to find the key! How can you do it? I offer you the quest. Do you know what the word “quest” means?

Pupils: Answer the question, give suppositions.

Teacher: Quest в перекладі з англійської  мови – довгий цілеспрямований пошук,який пов’язаний з грою. Quests are active, interactive, very positive and make people cheerful, friendly and helpful. So, let’s start.

You must guess the place where the key from the box is. To do it, you must do many tasks. When your task is done, you take a card with a letter and go to the next stage (it is written on the back side of the letter). But be attentive, your time is limited! If all the tasks have been done correctly, you will have eight letters and you’ll be able to make the word from them, guess what place the key is hidden in and open the box.  If you are mistaken you don’t take the letter, so at the end you’ll have less letters to make the word.

Now you should choose the captain of your team and the person who will be responsible for checking the time.

 I give you the first prompt. Go to the national symbol of the United Kingdom.

(During the game the students should try to do all the tasks and determine the route on their own. The teacher only controls the time, the number of the task, the letters they take and the route they go. If the students are mistaken and take the wrong letter, the teacher helps them to choose the route.)

Task 1.  (3 min) What country is not represented on the national flag of the UK? You need the last letter from this country’s name. (Wales) (The students must do the task and choose the card with the letter S.  On the back side of the card it is written: NOW GO TO THE RIDDLES.)

Task 2.  (3 min) Guess a riddle. You need the first letter of the answer. What is that never “was”, never “will be” and yet “is”? (Today) (The students must do the task and choose the card with the letter T.  On the back side of the card it is written: NOW GO TO THE QUIZ.)

Task 3  (10 min) Answer the questions of the quiz. For each right question you have some points. Sum up the points, the number you’ll get is the number of the letter in the ABC. Find this letter.
