Детские игры в Великобритании

Детские игры в Великобритании

Игра, являясь простым и близким человеку способом познания окружающей действительности, должна быть наиболее естественным и доступным путём  к овладению теми или иными знаниями, умениями и навыками.

Общение на любом языке требует большого словарного запаса, который накапливается в течение нескольких лет. Отсюда следует, что изучать иностранный язык следует с раннего возраста. Учитываю тот факт, что интерес является лучшим стимулом к обучению, необходимо использовать каждую возможность, чтобы разгрузить ребёнка посредством игровой деятельности в процессе обучения языку. Решая умственные задачи в занимательной игровой форме, дети сами находят решения, преодолевая при этом определенные трудности.

Игра – сильнейший фактор психологической адаптации ребенка в новом языковом пространстве, который может решить проблему естественного внедрения ребенка в мир иностранного языка.

В разработке представлены игры, в которые играют дети Великобритании.

My grandmother`s trunk

All players sit around in a circle. The first player starts the game. He says “I packed my grandmother`s trunk with blouses and shorts.” The second player says” I packed my grandmother`s trunk with blouses, shorts and glovers.”

Did you guess what the game is? Each player must repeat the names of the objects that the other players have said, and then a new one. Anyone who forgets an object or names the object un the wrong order drops out of the game. The last player is the winner.

Sausage

All players sit in a circle and ask “It” such questions as “What is your favourite fruit?”- “ What is your nose like?”- “what do you put on in the morning when it is cold in the street? And so on. Any questions.

To every question “It” must answer “Sausages”. If he laughs or even smiles, he drops out of the game. Then another player must take his place in the centre of the circle. The winner is the player whom the players cannot make laugh or smile. And it is not easy to remain serious in this game as it may seem.

Read by lips

All players stand in a line. The first in a line goes forward and faces the line. His lips form an English command, such as “Jump’, “Dance” or” Clap your hands”. The player who is next to him goes quickly forward and stands beside him. Then his lips form what he thinks the first player has said, and so on until the end of the line. Then all the players fulfil the command each of them formed. Those mistaken must pay a forfeit. Silence is compulsory.

Opposites

Any number of players can play this game. The players sit in a row. The leader tells a player to do, the player must do exact the opposite. If the leader tells the player to stand up, he must, of course, sit down. If the leader tells the player to smile, he must not to smile, though it is very difficult, of course.

If the leader tells the player to cry, he must laugh, and so on. The player who can`t do that drops out of the game. The last player in the game is the winner.

Simon says

You must choose one player as a leader. He must stand on a box, chair or table so that everyone can see and hear him. The other players stand in a line facing the leader.

The leader begins by saying “Simon says, ‘hands out in front of you.” Then each player must stretch out his hand. The players obey the orders only if the leader first says “Simon says” If the leader first says: “walk backwards” then everyone must stand still because the leader did not say: ”Simon says”, “walk backwards.”

If a player obeys an order, which he must not obey, he drops out of the game, too. The last player left in the game is the winner.

The leader may not obey his own orders. He may even do something different. For example, he may say, “Simon says, “put your hands on your hips.” And he himself puts his hands on his shoulders.

Also the leader may give orders like this:  ”Simon says, ”Take one  step forward… Now one step to your right”. In this case the players must only take one step forward and not the step to the right, because the leader did not say “Simon says” before the leader did not say “Simon says” before he gave the second order.

Say it quickly

All players sit in a circle. The leader stands in the middle of it, and asks questions. The players have to answer them with words beginning with R or S (you can choose any letters oh the alphabet.) But the players have to do it quickly, before the leaders counts ten. For example, the leader may ask “what is your favourite food? The answer can be “sugar” or “salt”.

A player who is not able to answer a question quickly must pay a forfeit.
