Ход мероприятия:

The teacher: All of us always look forward to holidays. Why? We have free time. We don’t have to get up early, we forget about our alarm clock and we are all lazybones a little. But if you are an energetic, active and easygoing person of course you will remember about your suitcase because you are fond of travelling. You know it is one of the things that makes your holidays wonderful.

People like travel alone or with friends, with their family or with a dog. What reasons are for travelling? Some people want to meet new people and make new friends, others want to go sightseeing and learn traditions and customs. So travelling gives us great pleasure, experience and a golden opportunity to see the beauty of the world, teachers us to understand people, helps to study geography, history and languages. And today we have a little travelling around the stations. There will be seven stations in seven classrooms. Our teachers will meet your groups in the classrooms where you will find interesting tasks for you. So you are not just groups, you are real commands that compete with each other. The teachers will give your captains counters for each right answer. The winner will have the most of the counters.

Обучающиеся заранее готовятся к открытому мероприятию: формируются в команды, выбирают капитанов, учитель делает фишки для подсчета баллов и на уроках повторяет лексику по темам: путешествие, погода, транспортные средства, осмотр достопримечательностей, в кафе, на пикнике.

Station 1

Means of transport

When people are on holiday or, as Americans say, on vacations, they like a change. They travel to see other countries and continents, cities and towns. It is always interesting to discover new things. If you are on holiday, you should arrange everything before you go on trip.

There are travel agencies where you can get help with your means of transport and planning your vacation. You can travel by train, by plane, by ship or by car.

Now you have a task: choose the correct word to complete the questions.

1. How do you travel/voyage to college each day?

2. Do you ever go to college by/on foot?

3. Is it easy to catch/board a bus where you live?

4. Have you ever lost/missed a bus, train or plane?

5. Have you ever travelled anywhere by/with ferry?

6. Which do you think is safer: travelling on/by plane or train?

7. What`s your favourite way/means of transport?

1. How do you travel to college each day?

2. Do you ever go to college on foot?

3. Is it easy to catch a bus where you live?

4. Have you ever missed a bus, train or plane?

5. Have you ever travelled anywhere by ferry?

6. Which do you think is safer: travelling by plane or train?

7. What`s your favourite means of transport?

Students do the task. The teacher counts the right answers of the students and gives the captain of the group the same number of the counters. The teacher can ask some questions to the group. For example, have you ever travelled by plane? What do you think is the best means of transport? What is the fastest means of public transport around our town? There is usually an underground in cities. It gives passengers a chance to get to work or to school or college very quickly.

Station 2

The weather

Welcome to Station 2! It is devoted to the weather. Sometimes it is very changeable and all the tourists, I believe, would like to see wonderful sights and places through the window of their car, bus or train or just go for a walk along streets of a town when it`s warm and sunny. But when it rains cats and dogs you want to be at home reading an interesting book or seeing a detective on TV. Sometimes our travelling can even be tiring, dangerous and troublesome because of the weather. For example, the sea can be stormy, a strong wind and cold can make us stay at a hotel or at home and tourists can get into trouble because of thunderstorm and lightning in the mountains. But as they say: “If there were no clouds, we wouldn`t enjoy the sun”. Travelling is a good thing and I think you should try to see some beautiful places if only near your native town.

And now 3 riddles for you:

What is fluffy?

What is white?

What can you see

When skies are bright?

What can float?

What brings rain?

What may be higher

Than a bird or plain?

Say it out loud

(answer: cloud)

Что пушистое?

Что белое?

Что вы можете увидеть

Когда небо яркое?

Что может плыть?

Что приносит дождь?

Что может быть выше,

Чем птица и самолет?

Скажите это громко

(ответ: облако)

Red and green and delicate blue,

Orange, yellow and violet, too.

Indigo`s there, a deep, dark hue.

I see, but I can`t touch it,

And neither can you!

What is it?

(answer: rainbow)

Красное и зеленое, и нежно голубое,

Оранжевое, желтое и фиолетовое.

Есть темно синий, глубокий, темный цвет.

Я вижу это, но я не могу

Дотронуться, ни я, ни ты.

Что это?

(ответ: радуга)

I`m big and white

and made of snow,

So I`ll never have a tan.

When the sun comes out,

I melt away.

Each year I`m new.

(answer: snowman)

Я большой и белый

и сделан из снега.

Поэтому мне никогда не загореть.

Когда выходит солнце, я таю.

Каждый год я новый.

(ответ: снеговик)

The students guess the riddles. The teacher gives the captain of the group one, two or three counters for right answers. The teacher can ask the students some questions: What is the weather like today? Do you like the weather like this? The teacher can give some comments about the weather. For example, The sky is getting darker and darker. It`s going to rain./ It looks like rain./Look at that black cloud. It`s going to rain./The weather is fine today. It`s sunny and not windy now.

Station 3

Sightseeing

Now you are at the station of sightseeing. Some people would like to see ancient buildings or famous people, others prefer to see wonderful views of mountains, lakes, forests, animals and birds.
