Игра-путешествие
А.Е. Good day, children! . Have you ever been to London? I suppose you haven’t. Now you have such an opportunity. At our lesson we’ll make a trip to London, the capital of Great Britain. It’s one of the oldest and most interesting cities in the world. And help us in the journey the players of the two teams.
В1 Good day! Have you ever visited London? I think not!
В2 Если ваши знания о Британии ограничиваются словами "чай", "королева", "дождь", то вы однозначно попали по адресу.
В1. Are you ready to start? Today you will get some interesting facts about the capital of the UK, about its history and its sights. London has been a capital city for nearly 1,000 years, and many of its ancient buildings still stand.
В2 The most famous of these are the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral, but most of the visitors also want to see the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the many magnificent museums.
В1 Mary Poppins helps us in this journey.
(играет музыка входит Мери Поппинс)
М.П. Yes, many years ago London was a small roman town on the north bank of the river Thames, slowly it grew into one of the world’s major cities with more than 8 mln people. Different areas of London seem like different cities but they still keep some of their old atmosphere. Today you have a chance to visit some places of interest and I think it’ll be very interesting and useful to get some information about the sights of London. I think I need to translate all my words. As for me your children don’t understand me.
В1 Dear Mary Poppins, we understand you perfectly. Well, almost everybody understand you!
В2 Lets start our game! And then you will see that we know English.
М.П. Ladies and gentlemen! We welcome you in the greatest cities of the world!
В1 Is it true that British people are rather strange? When you come to the British cafe and want to order a cup of tea, you have to repeat the waiter that you want tea without milk, otherwise he will bring tea with milk.
В2 British people think much about "the weather" topics. If you want to start a conversation - ask about the weather, you have nothing to say - speak about the weather, you need to defuse the situation – you can also tell about the weather.
В1 By the way, don’t think that in the UK, you can easily know the name of your neighbor . It's not a familiar picture wich you can on the playground when any game starts with the classic "Hello, what's your name, let's play." And even if you tell your true name , in response Englishman would say something polite and carefully will change the topic
М.П. The British love to write letters. They invite you to a celebration in writing form, not, for example, by telephone.
Thats why, our first task will be connected with letters.
А.Е. Объясняет условия первого конкурса.
М.П. Our trip continues, and now we are on the square near big Ben
В1 Ты думаешь, что Биг-Бен – это такая башенка с часами? Главное, не говори об этом британцам, а то оскорбишь их национальные чувства. Потому что Биг-Бен – это колокол. Он весит практически 14 тонн и прячется за циферблатом тех самых часов.
М.П. Yes you are absolutely right. Big Ben is not just a watch. The official name until September 2012 was «Clock tower of the Palace of Westminster».By the decision of the British Parliament Clock tower September 2012 renamed the Tower Elizabeth, in honor of the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II.
В2 The question is: what country has the largest number of queens? You wont Believe! Correct Answern is England. There are Mary I, Elizabeth I, Mary II, Anna, Victoria, Elizabeth II.
М.П. And I also have some questions to players. For each correct answer, players will receive one point.
А.Е. Объясняет условия второго конкурса.
М.П. And we are near the Tower. The tower of the fortress, stands on the North Bank of the Thames, historic centre of London and one of the oldest buildings of England.
В1 In the words of the Duke of Edinburgh in his book on the 900th anniversary of the Tower, "in its history, the Tower of London was a fortress, palace, royal jewelry store, an arsenal, a mint, a prison, an observatory, a zoo, a place attracting tourists."
В2 В Лондоне есть одна очень привлекательная для туристов традиция - Церемония Ключей (Ceremony of the Keys ). Вот уже 700 лет подряд, каждую ночь главный тюремщик лондонского Тауэра, более известный как бифитер проделывает обряд запирания ворот Тауэра. Все ворота должны быть заперты ровно в 21 час 53 минуты. После этого штатный трубач Тауэра трубит отбой и церемония завершается.
М.П. You know the British are very smart people. We have many interesting proverbs and sayings.
В1 Here are some proverbs and sayings.

М.П. At last we are at Buckingham Palace. It is the London home of the Queen. When the flag is flying on the top she is at home.
В1 There is a wonderful daily ceremony, which takes place at 11.30. Usually Londoners and a great number of foreign tourists watch Changing the Guards in front of the Palace. It’s a very beautiful parade.
В2 Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch.
Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by The Queen, the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.
М.П. The Palace is very much working building and the centrepiece of Britain's constitutional monarchy. It houses the offices of those who support the day-to-day activities and duties of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh and their immediate family.
В1 The palace has a swimming pool, a post office and a private cinema.
М.П. By the way about cinema! And what do you think about the cartoons? Cartoons in English?
