The 2nd round. (Slides 11-17)
The slides consist of 2 parts. First the students can see only the question. After getting the answer of a student, the teacher clicks the mouse and the second part of the slide with the picture can be seen so the student can check the answer (the students get ‘medals’ for right answers. )

The students see a rebus on the slide. They have to use the first letters of the kinds of sports in the pictures and then read the kind of activity which is going to be next. (the answer is ‘writing’).
Then the students are divided into 2 teams and the teams get the sheets of paper with the task to complete the sentences with the words ‘go’, ‘play’, ‘do’. When the team is ready, the teacher comes up to the team, checks the answers and gives ‘the clue’ where to look for the envelope with the next task ( for the first team it is to find the sentences with the word ‘go’ and then find envelope 17 among some other envelopes on the cupboard. For the second team it is to find the sentences with the word ‘do’ and then find the envelope with number 46 on the windowsill.)

5. Symbols. Quiz. (Slides 22-27)
The slides consist of 2 parts. First, the students can see only the question. The student gives the answer and then the teacher shows the other part of the slide with the right answer. If the answer is right, the student gets a ‘medal’. ( or there may be just slides without answers)
6. Speaking and Reading. (Slides 28-35)
The teacher offers to look at the photo in slide 29 and try to complete the sentences about the biography of the athlete in the slide. The students can’t complete all the sentences so the teacher offers to read the short biography of the famous Ukrainian sportswoman (slide 30) and then look at slide 31 and this time try to do the task. The teacher can continue the discussion with the questions like: What other Ukrainian Olympic champions do you know? Do you like sport? What sports do you do? and others.
Then the teacher asks to look at slide 32 and say what activity will be next (it is reading)
Team work
The teacher demonstrates slide 33 and asks the students if they know anything about these people. Then the teacher gives the cards with the short biographies of these sportsmen and offers to read some more information about them and in about a minute the teacher takes back the cards from the teams and asks to finish the sentences in slides 34, 35.
