Christmas Jeopardy

Заметки для учителя
В игре 2 уровня. На усмотрение учителя можно играть оба уровня сразу или каждый уровень на отдельном уроке. Возможно также играть разные уровни в разных параллелях.
Играть могут 2-4 команды.
Предварительная подготовка
Для каждой команды готовим комплект карточек с цифрами 1, 2, 3, 4. (Это нужно для того, чтобы все команды могли отвечать одновременно. При ответах они будут сдавать ведущему или учителю карточки с номером выбранного ими ответа).
Порядок игры
Команды по очереди выбирают вопрос. На каждый вопрос отвечают все команды. Командам, ответы которых были правильные, начисляем очки. Команды, ответившие неправильно, получают 0 баллов. Команда, набравшая наибольшее количество очков, побеждает в игре.
Ход игры
Учитель либо ведет игру сам, либо предлагает одному из учеников стать ведущим. Задача ведущего – нажимать на вопросы, собирать карточки, открывать правильный ответ и записывать очки.
Делим класс на команды. (Я обычно прошу сесть за стол каждой команды по 1 человеку. Остальных учеников прошу построиться у стенки. Затем ученики за столами по очереди вызывают игроков в свою команду.)
Команды придумывают название и выбирают капитана.
Команды по очереди выбирают вопрос.
Ведущий нажимает на номер вопроса и открывает его.
Учитель читает задание. У команд есть 30 секунд, чтобы дать ответ. В слайды встроены часы: через 20 секунд звучит предупредительный сигнал, а через 30 – сигнал к сдаче ответа.
После сигнала команды сдают ведущему карточки с номером выбранного ими ответа.
Ведущий нажимает «Show the answer”.
Ведущий записывает на доске набранные очки. (Для удобства ведущего на каждом слайде написано количество очков за данный вопрос – в правом верхнем углу).
Ведущий нажимает «домик» в правом нижнем углу, и программа возвращается к главному меню.
Когда 1 уровень закончен, нажимаем “to level 2” и переходим ко 2 уровню.
В конце игры подсчитывает очки и выявляем победителя.
