British Holidays (games and competitions)
By the
way, children, what’s the date today? Right, it’s the 30th of October today.
And what holiday will British people celebrate tomorrow? That’s right –
Halloween. And who knows the main and the most beautiful holiday of a year?
Certainly- it’s Christmas. So, now we’re going to speak about the two very
popular holidays in Great Britain – Christmas and Halloween. Let’s play
interesting games and have exciting competitions.
1) Do
you know these words?
I’d like
to divide your group into two equal teams as we’re going to have a competition.
The first team will be called “Christmas” and the second – “Halloween”. Look at
the screen, please. (Slide 8) You can see the words. The words from the
column “Christmas” are for Christmas team and the column “Halloween” is for Halloween
team. You are going to come up to the blackboard by one in turn and write one
of the words from your column in Russian. Your team will win if you write all
the words from your column first.
2) Match
the holidays with the pictures: (slide 9)
Your
next task is to match the pictures with the two holidays.
3)
Making up stories.
Every
team gets a story cut into lines. Your task is to connect the lines in the
right order and to make up the story. Then you’ll answer my questions to your
stories.

Drawing competition
Each
team will get one balloon. The team “Christmas” will draw Santa Claus on their
balloon and the team “Halloween” will draw Jack-o-lantern. You’ll do it in
turn. Every member of the teams can draw only one element on the balloon (e.g.
a nose or one eye) and then passes the felt pen to another pupil.
(As the
lesson is planned for a group of unknown pupils, two more games are given in
the Presentation (slides 10, 11) in case there is time left).
Jingle,
bells (slide 12)
I’m sure
you all know a very popular English Christmas song “Jingle, bells”. Let’s sing
it together.
