Правила урока-викторины

В игре принимают участие 3 группы студентов: ведущие, которые предъявляют задания (вопросы), участники игры, отвечающие на эти вопросы, члены жюри, которые оглашают количество набранных баллов каждым участникам игры.

Каждый ведущий имеет на своем столе название разделов с его номером и цифровое табло (они крепятся на спец.подставках), а также перечень вопросов по одному из пяти вопросов:

1. General Information
2. Geographical Position
3. Places of Interest
4. Famous People
5. Political System

Участники игры знают названия разделов, но не знают, естественно, какие вопросы включены в эти разделы. Право каждого участника — назвать раздел и номер вопроса. Ведущий названного раздела предъявляет задание и зачеркивает на цифровом табло номер выбранного вопроса. Если участник дает правильный ответ, ему зачисляется балл (баллы). Выигрывает тот, кто наберет большее количество баллов.

После трех результативных ходов участник игры имеет право сам назначить «цену» своему ответу –увеличить ее в 2 раза по сравнению с номером соответствующего раздела. Но при этом , он должен помнить, что в случае неправильного ответа его очки «сгорают» в такое же количество раз. Данное условие приносит в ход игры оживление и участники охотно на него идут.
