CHAIN OF THE EVENT

1. Organization of teams

Greeting

T: Hi, guys! How are you?

Ps: Hello! We are great.

Introducing of the topic

T: Dear, friends, today we have a quest-game “Unknown country of Britons, Angles and Saxons”. We have already covered all related topics for this quest-game: “Geographical Outlook”, “Entertain Yourself”, “Do you need a book?”, “Places of Interest” in our textbooks, so let’s do the quest. (Діти пригадують, що вивчили на уроках англійської мови).

T: And before we start let’s divide into teams. (Діти діляться на команди за допомогою жеребкування). Great, we have 2 teams. Now, choose the captains of your teams (Команди обирають капітана).

T: And now listen, please, to my instructions. Guys, we have 6 stations, where you have to find a task. Each team has its own one and certain colored one. For you to find stations, I will give some hints in which you can solve a decoded name of the station. Thus, your task is to solve a hint, find a station and a piece of map there. Every team will find a marked point on the map, a team should guess what place is it and tell any information about it. If your answer is good enough, you’ll get 5 points. If you don’t know a place, I can give you a piece of information which you need to translate. But then you’ll get only 3 points. You can use the dictionary. However, you also can use my help, but then you’ll get 1 point. So, my friends, is it clear? (Діти ставлять запитання). At each station you will find for one piece of map, don’t lose it! Who first will collect map of GB – will get 3 points more for a total result! Now, let’s get started!

2. Main part of the event

T: And I offer you a game “Rock, paper, scissors” to decide which team will get the first hint (Капітани грають). So, team 1 has a little advantage. Ready, steady, go!
