Teacher: Hello, boys and girls! Hello, dear guests! We are together today to play a game called “Noughts and Crosses”. The rules of the game are simple. Can you play it in Russian or in Kazakh? The rules are the same. One team will be “Noughts”. And another team is “Crosses”. I have 9 questions on the text which you are going to listen to. It is called “The Vikings”. After listening it you will choose one of the numbers in the table. You should answer the questions correctly. If your answer is incorrect, another team will answer it and then put their mark in the table.
Opponents try to put their marks three numbers down, across or diagonally. The task is to listen to the question carefully and answer the question correctly. If they cannot answer right, they cannot put their mark on the chosen place (or number).

These are the opponents’ marks. One is for “Noughts”. Another one is for “Crosses”.
Here are the text which students are going to listen to:
The Vikings
The Vikings were Scandinavians from Norway, Sweden and Denmark. They were strong and tall, with fair hair and blue eyes. The word Viking means pirate, and the Vikings sailed to Britain over 1 200 years ago to steal gold, silver and land. They had fantastic ships which carried up to 200 people! On 1 November 866, Vikings attacked York, and they called the city Jorvik. Many Vikings came to Jorvik and lived there with their families.
In the 1970s, archaeologists found lots of clues about Viking life under a street in the centre of York. The Jorvik Viking Centre opened on this site in 1984. We now know that the Vikings liked music, and they played board games and dice games. They ate meat and lots of fish, fruit and vegetables. They also made bread and they drank beer. Viking women wore long dresses, and the men wore shirts and trousers. Everyone wore jewellery.
The Vikings were great explores – Britain wasn’t the only country they visited. Some Vikings went east through Europe to Asia, or south to Africa. Others sailed west to Iceland, Greenland and North America. A Viking called Leif Erikson sailed across the Atlantic 500 years before Christopher Columbus!

If you the players in this position 7, 8 and 9 are busy with “Crosses”. In this way they win.
These are the questions to the text. 9 of them are according to the table. And others are extra ones.

What did Viking eat?
Where were the Vikings from?
When and why did Viking come to Britain?
What city did the Vikings attack?
What did Viking women and men wear?
What kind of places of the world did Vikings travel?
Who sailed across the Atlantic? When did he do that?
What did the Viking do in their free time?
These are extra questions. For example, if the participants do not know the answer to one of the questions, they have to answer one of these ones.
What was opened in 1984?
What kind of people were the Vikings?
How big were the Vikings’ ships?

The team of the 10th grade is the winner. They put their answers on numbers 3, 5 and 7. It means that the students (Noughts) from the 10th form understood the text better than the team of the 9th form (Crosses). And also they more active and helpful.
