Организационный момент, введение

- Good afternoon, dear friends! Nice to meet you! I am very glad to greet you here at our lesson. Moreover, I am very proud to see you here as participants of our Jeopardy Game.

It’s not a secret, that you all learn English. You know, that English is a native language of Great Britain. But what do you know about this country?

Do you like to travel? Do you want to visit Britain? I hope one day you'll be able to go there to see this beautiful country and its sights with your own eyes.

But today let’s all together make a short imaginary journey to Great Britain. I’m sure you have already known a lot about this country and its people, but some things are easily forgotten. Let’s brush up our knowledge and see who knows it better.

But first of all let’s watch a short video to remember some general information about this amazing country.

Объяснение правил игры

Well… And are you ready to play?

Our game is devoted to a mysterious, amazing world, the world of English.

First of all I’d like to introduce the rules of the game to you. This game is played in two teams. And let’s divide into 2 teams.

OK. We have 2 teams which are called … and … .

Our game has five sections; in each section, there are five questions. According to their difficulty, each question may bring you from 10 to 50 points. The right to answer the first question belongs to the team, which raises its emblem up first.

Team 1 chooses a category and a point amount (for example: Famous People for 20 points). They have one minute to think it over. If the answer is correct, they get the points they have chosen. If the answer is incorrect, Team 2 gets a chance to answer and get the points. Both teams play in turn. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

And there is “A Cat in a bag” question. The team can answer the question or give it another team.

So, if everything is clear to you, take your answer sheets and we are starting right now.
