ENGLISH WITH PLEASURE

    Dear friends! Today we`re having an unusual holiday “English with pleasure”. It`s a great joy and a great honor for me to open it.

    I would like to welcome all the personalities who are attending this party: our group-mates and, of course, our jury.

    So, let`s start. Students, you`ve already learnt much. We had many topics – family, friends, time, weather, flat, clothes, greeting etc.

 Now you have two teams. Each team has its place. I wish you good luck and we`re starting the game.

The 1^st contest – Warming up.

Students choose cards with names of topics and say as many words referring to the topics as possible. Topics:

                               Vegetables                          School Subjects

                                   Things in the classroom    Months

                                   Fruit                                    Weekdays

                                   Seasons                                Colours

Each team has a piece of paper and felt tips. Students have to draw their emblems and introduce their teams.

The 4^th contest – a game “Just the topic”.

Students, you have the other task. I give you papers with some lexical tables. Words are classified in some definite groups. One word in each row is odd. Find it out and underline.

At the same time 2-3 students do correction work: a teacher distributes 2 pieces of paper with the words from the topic “Great Britain” miswritten in English.

The jury marks: for both tasks 1 right row or right word is 1 point.
