                                               Introduction

        Board games appeared  many years ago BC (“Senate” game in Ancient Egypt, “Chaupur” in India, dice and famous backgammon), and their popularity has passed through the millennia. Board games are convenient for their compactness (they can be used at home, in the classroom on the road, etc.), the ability to play alone or involve a large number of players, and, most importantly, it is always interesting and unusual pastime. But unlike modern gadgets, it is not time-wasting, but self-development. fans of Board games quickly develop imagination and ingenuity, logic and independence in decision-making.

        Board game — a game that can be played indoors, with the help of equipment placed on an ordinary or specially made table.

         In English-language sources are most often found two names - "table games " (games on the table) and  " board games " (games on a special Board).

         Through the game, the children learn to еxpress their own feelings, empathize with other children.

Explanatory note

       There is a wide variety of children's games in the world – it's outdoor games and Board games. But now they are being replaced by computer games. We don't notice how we stop communicating with our friends. Therefore, Board games are relevant solution to this problem. There is a real communication between the players during the game. Board games are one of the best family entertainment that capable unite not only friends but also all family members. In addition, these games are not just fun. They teach, develop logic and thinking.

    I often play Board games at home: checkers, chess and the usual "Walker". There are many varieties of board games. Its rules are not very difficult: single players or teems move over the board with goal to reach the finish point. Steps on the board are attended with different tasks marked on cards. Every completed task makes a player closer to the finish point.

     I set the following goal before myself: to create a Board game in English with my own hands.

    To achieve this goal it is necessary to solve the following tasks:

1.      Come up with the plot of the game,

2.      Develop rules of the game,

3.      Create a playing field and chips,

4.      Test the game with your classmates,

5.      After testing, make changes if necessary.

I put forward the following hypothesis: a Board game made by my own hands will attract the interest of classmates and increase motivation to learn English.

Stages of creating a Board game

      In English class we studied the sights of London. The capital of great Britain struck me with its history, a huge number museums, Royal palaces and parks. There was a desire to continue acquaintance with this magnificent city.

      Problem: How can I make my dream come true?

     Of course, create a Board game dedicated to the attractions of London.

     On the Internet I came across to the giant colouring poster with the sights of London, which consists of 15 sheets.  I immediately had ideas how to create an exciting and educational game.

    I discussed important issues with my teacher, we identified the key points in each part, and based on them, I began to create a game.

Playing field.

     For the playing field was chosen giant colouring poster which consists of 15 parts, it is convenient to place large circles on it, suitable for several players.      Players will not interfere with each other playing on such a large playing field. 

     All the playing field consists of different places and attractions of London. I really wanted the playing field to be colorful and attract the attention of the main players – children. So I tried to paint everything carefully and that would be all the attractions were as similar to the real.

     I cut out circles of colored paper and pasted them one after another. Colorful circles decorated our playing field even more.

Game chips and cubes I took from another Board game, but you can make your own.

       To allow players to explore the sights of the capital of England in more detail, I prepared QR codes with information about the places and pasted them next to each other. The player gets to the circle, scans the code using the phone and studies additional information.

                                                   Game rules.

1.      This game can be played by two to four people.

2.      At the beginning of the game, players choose the game chips and determine the order of the move.

3.      Game chips are placed on the playing field on the circle "№1".

4.      The first player rolls the dice and moves his playing chip to the number of circles on the field that fell on the cube. Next, players roll the dice in turn and also move their game chips.

5.      When you stop the game chips on the…

Testing the game.

The first players were my classmates, who during the creation showed great interest and were looking forward to when the game will be ready. During the trial game it turned out that

-         six people can participate in this game , because the large playing field and dynamics of the game allows to do it.

-          it is necessary that the rules of the game are always in front of your eyes, because you often  have to refer to them.

-          It is necessary that players have phones with the installed program and have access to the Internet.

Conclusion.

In the course of the work was created Board game “Faces of London “. This game introduces players to the sights of the capital of England. With the help of Qr codes, you can explore places in more detail and even go on excursions to theaters and museums in London.

During the testing, it turned out that classmates liked the game created by my  own hands: a colorful playing field and the rules of the game, thanks to which there is a constant change of leading players.

There are other options for using the game: with the help of colorful pictures you can refresh the memory vocabulary on the topic (Places in the city), remember the prepositions of the place and practice in giving directions, playing dialogues. As well as describe where the objects are training construction (there is/there are.)

            My English teacher asked for the game to be used in an English lesson while passing the theme of London Attractions in 5th grade.

            In conclusion I want to say that  game created by me  is not just fun, but also helps to awaken the interest of children to learn English, helps to explore the sights of the capital and their location.
