Goals and objectives:

• create positive motivation for learning English and a joyful mood in the classroom;
• repeat and consolidate learned material;
• teach children to see the results of collective activity.

Such competitions can be held either at the end of the quarter or school year, and at the end of any topic studied. For younger students I really like these lessons, they participate in them with pleasure.

At the beginning of the lesson, the whole class is divided into two groups (6-7 people). Students themselves come up with the name of the team (Tom and Jerry, Baby and Carlson, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, etc.) The names of the teams are written on the board in two columns and points are entered for each task throughout the competition.

The lesson begins with greetings and songs:

“Good morning, good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, good morning, I’m glad to see you.”

1. Phonetic gymnastics: rhyming:
   
   One, one, one - please, dogs, run!
   Two, two, two -cats, run, too!
   Three, three, three –tigers, run to me!
   Four, four, four – monkeys, touch the door!
   Five, five, five – please, birds, fly!
2. Song competition. Children perform a song either of their own choosing or suggested by the teacher.
3. Poetry competition. Students read poems they have learned throughout the year.

   For example:

   Fly, little bird, fly, I love my cat,
   Fly into the blue sky! It's warm and fat.
   One, two, three, My cat is grey,
   You are free. It lakes to play.

4. “Make up a dialogue.” Two representatives from each team make up a dialogue on a given topic, for example, “Getting to know each other”:

   Pupil 1: “Hello!”
   Pupil 2: “Hi! What is your name?”
   Pupil 1: “My name is Sasha. And what is your name?”
   Pupil 2: “Nice to meet you, Sasha. My name is Sveta”
   Pupil 1: “Nice to meet you, Sveta. How are you?”
   Pupil 2: “I’m fine thank you.” And you?”
   Pupil 1: “I’m ok, thanks. Good bye, Sasha!”
   Pupil 2: “See you late, Sveta!”

5. Letter competition.

   1) “Stand in alphabetical order.” Five people from each team go to the board and receive one letter (one team receives capital letters: A, B, C, D, E; and the other small letters: a, b, c, d, e.) On command: one, two, three! children stand in alphabetical order. The team that finishes first wins.

   2) “Find a pair.” On the board there are two columns of capital letters in alphabetical order (10 letters), and below are small letters, but in a different order. Both teams line up in a column opposite the board and at the teacher’s command: “begin!” one student from each team runs up to the board, takes a small letter and places it next to the big one. The team that places the letters correctly and quickly wins.

   3) “Name and show the letter.” The student approaches the alphabet and shows the letter named by the teacher, and then names the letter shown by the teacher. (10 letters)

6. Verb repetition competition.

   1) Game “Sit!” Children, moving around the chairs, follow the teacher’s commands: go, run, jump, fly, swim, count, sing, dance, write, read draw, etc. At the command: “sit!”, children must sit on chairs. The student left without a chair leaves the game. The team whose last member remains wins.

   2) Children follow commands only if the teacher precedes them with the word: “please”. For example, not just: “Run!, a Run, please!” The more attentive team wins.

7. Number knowledge competition (1-12). The whole team shows the number named by the teacher.

   One student from each team goes to the board and shows the number named by the teacher, or calls in English the number pronounced by the teacher in Russian.

8. Word competition.

   1) For example, words on the topic “animals”. The toys are in an opaque bag. The student, guessing by touch which toy he is holding in his hand, says: “I have a cat or It is a dog.” He then shows the toy to the others. He takes out the toy until he makes a mistake. A student from another team does the same. The number of toys matches the number of points.

   2) Name as many words as possible on a given topic. (animals, food, clothes, colors, school supplies, etc.)

   3) “Tic Tac Toe.” A large square is drawn on the board, divided into 16 squares: 4 rows of 4 squares. A picture is attached to each square with a magnet, with the image facing inward. One team is “Tic-Tacs”, and the other is “Toes”. One by one, from each team, children come up to the board, turn over the picture and say the word. If the child names the picture correctly, he takes it down and the teacher draws a cross or a zero. If the item is named incorrectly, the picture returns to its original place. The team that scores wins greatest number crosses or toes.

   4) Competition “Name it from memory”. The teacher shows and says 5-6 words : a dog, a cat, a mouse, a frog, a fox, a bear. The student repeats these words from memory.

9. “Make a story according to the diagram.” For example : I have a dog. I have no cat. My dog ​​can run and jump. My dog ​​cannot fly. The dog is black. I like my dog.
10. "Guess a riddle". Each team is given two riddles.

    For example:

    1) I am red and I have a fine tail, I live in the forest, I like meat. (a fox)

    2) I am green I can swim. I cannot jump. I like meat and fish. (a crocodile)

    3) I can run. I can climb. I can catch (translation) a mouse. (a cat).

    4) I live in the river. I am not fish. I am green. What am I? (a frog).

11. The total number of points scored is calculated and the winning team is announced, and the work of each student in the lesson is evaluated.

Journey to the “Land of the English Language”

“The Journey” is carried out on the parallel of 3 (or 4) classes. All students are passengers on a train that goes on a journey through the English language. Each class occupies its own train, which stops at different stations. Children come up with their own identification marks, but each of them has its own driver with a “driver” stripe on his head, who leads the whole class through the stations. To prevent trains from colliding on the way, each class is given a “train table”, in which all the names of the stations are written in a specific order for each class. The waybill also indicates the stopping time of each train, the number of points received and the signature of the “station manager” (responsible teacher).

Progress of the game

Teacher: Dear friends, today you are passengers of this train. We are going to travel to English. The train is leaving. Good voyage!

Station 1: “Musical”
Guess the melody and sing the song in English. Songs studied throughout the year are used (“What is your name?”, “I see green, I see yellow”, “I am a pupil”, “Hello, how are you?”, “Head and shoulders”, “ Alouette” etc.) At this station, the person in charge is the music teacher, who plays music without words, and the children remember the song and perform it in English. If they cannot guess the song, they are offered to perform another one.

Station 2: “Phonetics”
Read the words in transcription.
For example: , , , , , , , , ,

Station 3: “Reading”
Reading technique is tested for a time (1 minute). One of the students chosen by the team receives a sheet of paper with words or text depending on the class. The student is given one minute to prepare, then, at the teacher’s command, he begins to read. The number of words read in one minute is counted and a score is assigned. For example: Ship, egg, bus, book, queen, star, horse, name, sit, yes, mug, cook, feed, park, port, cake, stone, little, bench, jump, good, sheep, farm, floor, plate, nose, big, bell, sun, wood, lake, bone, fish, pen, tulip, pupil, that, these, moon, bird, purse, king, morning, yellow, weak, beak, ball, day, boy, out. If the student finishes reading the words and the teacher does not stop him, he starts reading the words from the beginning.

Station 4: “Poetical”
Tell any poem in English.

Station 6: “Lexical”
Continue the list of words (orally) on the following topics:
1. dog … 2. red … 3. read …
You can prepare pictures on the topics covered or offer to play “snowball”, “guess the word” or other games to review vocabulary.

Station 7: “Riddles”
Guess the riddles.

Station 8: “Dialogue”
Chat on a given topic, for example, “Getting acquainted”, “at the store”, “at the zoo”

Station 9: “Conversation”
Make up a story based on the picture.
For example: “I see a dog. Its name is Rex. Rex is big and good. It is red. Its nose is black. The dog is under the desk.. It’s a good dog. This is its bone. Rex is happy. I like the dog.

Station 10: “Crossword”
Find 10 words for colors. (any other crossword puzzle on studied topics)

At the end of the game, points are tallied and the winners are awarded.

We all know that English is an almost integral part of our lives. We can say that almost each of us has either taught it or is teaching it at the moment. Knowledge of English helps when traveling abroad and to career growth. But not each of us is able to afford it. There is one opportunity that will help you see the birthplace of the English language, and also allow you to evaluate your knowledge with the help of competent specialists. I'm talking about English language competitions, which, it seems to me, is necessary for everyone who has mastered or is mastering this foreign language to participate in.

Why participate in English language competitions?

First, you check your level of English proficiency and identify areas that need work and improvement. Secondly, you meet new people if competitions are not held in absentia. And, as you know, good acquaintances are always useful in life. Thirdly, if you win, you receive documented confirmation of your skills and abilities in the form of all kinds of certificates, diplomas, medals, etc. As a rule, along with a paper confirmation of your qualifications, the competition organizers present prizes, sometimes very valuable ones. You might even win a trip to the country of the language you're learning. And this is worth a lot!

Don't be afraid of English language competitions. Try your hand, and luck will definitely smile on you. At one time I took part in two English language competitions. I learned about these competitions from the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper. The first was dedicated to translators and was called “European Crimea”. It was carried out in two stages: first, it was necessary to translate in writing a piece of text from English that was published in the newspaper. Then, the finalists were invited to Simferopol for the same type of activity. By the way, there I met a girl who later became my friend. I took a prize and was awarded a camera, which was not a cheap gift at that time.

The second competition was held in absentia. It was necessary to complete several tasks that were published in this newspaper for a month. As a result, the twenty best were selected, among which two winners were then chosen at random on air on the M1 channel. They had the opportunity to study at one of the language schools in England for two weeks. I got into the top twenty, but then my luck changed.

Where to look for English language competitions?

First of all, I would advise you to pay attention to periodicals - now popular collections that need to be collected by publication. If I'm not mistaken, there is even one dedicated specifically to the English language. If you are a fan of the World Wide Web, you should look for English language competitions there.

For example, recently on the dictionary website ABBYY LINGVO– – The III translation championship for high school and university students recently ended, the main prize of which was a trip to the country of the language being studied. The participants in this competition were residents of Russia, Germany and Ireland. And the competition was dedicated not only to English, but also to German.

Foreign publishers of English-language literature often organize English language competitions. For example, . This organization constantly holds competitions, olympiads, and English language tests. The prizes in these competitions are very high-quality and very expensive products for learning English (, reference books, dictionaries, multimedia publications, etc.).

If you have deep knowledge of the language, you can take part in a competition to write articles about the English language, English-speaking countries, their culture and people. For example, visit the website. The main requirements for articles are literacy, uniqueness, and loyalty. That is, the topic of the article should not offend anyone, should be presented in literate language, and the article itself should remain one of a kind, not posted anywhere before.

English language competitions can be very diverse, and you do not need to have an advanced level of language proficiency to participate in them. On the contrary, try, correct your mistakes, improve your skills and abilities, and I am sure that luck will definitely smile on you.
