Викторина по страноведению. США

Данная игра проводится в качестве урока – повторения или внеклассного мероприятия по страноведению США. Игра напоминает известную телепрограмму “Кто хочет стать миллионером?” В отборочном туре игры может принять участие любое количество учащихся. Дети выбирают один из предложенных четырёх вариантов ответов (вопрос с вариантами ответов можно написать заранее на доске или представить на экране). Ученик, быстрее других давший правильный ответ, становится игроком.

Вся игра рассчитана на четыре отборочных тура и непосредственно на игру четырёх игроков. Каждому игроку по очереди выдаются карточки с вопросами. На карточке также даны варианты ответов и количество баллов, которые можно заработать, дав правильный ответ. Есть “несгораемые” баллы, за которые ученик получает поощрительные призы: 1000 баллов – шоколад, 32000 баллов – открытка или фотография с изображением достопримечательностей США, 1000000 баллов – книга на английском языке (Всё готовится организатором игры заранее).

Каждый ученик имеет 3 подсказки:

Помощь аудитории (высказываются все зрители игры, ученик выбирает из предложенных вариантов тот, который считает правильным);
Помощь друга (может попросить помощи у любого человека среди зрителей, даже у присутствующих учителей));
50х50 (ведущий игры сам говорит 2 неправильных варианта ответа, в материале для ведущего они указаны красным цветом).

В материале для ведущего правильные ответы указаны зелёным цветом.

Материал для игроков нужно разрезать и выдавать игроку по мере получения правильных ответов.
