Грамматический брейн-ринг

Цели:

1. Активизация знакомой лексики и грамматики в речи.

2. Развитие навыков аудирования.

3. Совершенствование навыков диалогической речи.

Оборудование: эмблемы команд; костюмы и аксессуары для участников сценок; музыкальное оформление; карточки с лексико-грамматическими тестами; текст  для аудирования; карточки со словами для 4-го раунда; плакаты для болельщиков.

Подготовка к мероприятию

Учитель заранее выбирает ведущего или ведёт мероприятие сам. Необходимо также выбрать членов жюри: это могут быть сами учащиеся или учителя. Для участия в игре нужны 4 команды по 5-6 человек. Участники придумывают название команд, эмблемы и продумывают ответ на вопрос «How are you going to win?».

Участники игры выбирают болельщиков и готовят плакаты с лозунгами. От их активности зависит, смогут ли команды получить дополнительные баллы. Болельщики могут помогать соответствующим командам. В конце мероприятия жюри добавляет баллы тем командам, чьи болельщики были наиболее активными.

В перерыве между раундами учащиеся из зрителей показывают небольшие юмористические сценки. Предлагаемые диалоги:

Husband (angrily). What? The supper is not ready? That’s the limit! I’m going to a restaurant.

Wife. Wait just five minutes.

Husband. Will it be ready then?

Wife. No, but then I’ll go with you.

The young wife was in tears when she opened the door for her husband. “I’ve  been insulted”, she sobbed. “Your mother insulted me.”

“My mother!” he exclaimed. “But she is a hundred miles away.”

“I know, but a letter came for you this morning and I opened it.”

He looked stern, “I see, but where does the insult come in?”

“In the postscript,” she answered. “It said: ‘Dear Alice, don’t forget to give this letter to George’.”

Customer. Is there any soup on the bill of fare?

Waiter. No, sir, there was, but I wiped it off.

Mother. Tommy, the canary has disappeared.

Tommy. That’s fanny. It was there just now when I tried to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.

“Jessie, I have told  you again and again not to speak when older persons are talking but wait until they stop.”

“I’ve tried that already, mamma. They never do stop.”

“Oh, mother, a truck went by as big as a house!”

“Bobbie, why do you exaggerate so terribly? I’ve told you twenty million times about that habit of yours, and it doesn’t do a bit of good!”

Mother. I sent my little boy for two pounds of plums and you sent a pound and a half.

Grocer. My scales are all right, madam. Have you weighed your little boy?

Doctor (ecstatically). Sir, yours is a case which will enrich medical science!

Patient. Oh, dear, and I thought I wouldn’t have to pay more than five or ten dollars!
