Learning foreign languages in a playful way will help not only broaden your horizons and learn more about culture, but also help you fall in love with the subject and make it easier to study. What is the English language? It's kind of like a lesson, but in a fun and relaxed way. Thanks to these activities, schoolchildren understand the educational material faster and easier.
General statement of lesson goals and objectives. Planning
How are extracurricular activities organized at school? Lesson time is allocated for this. It is best, and even more useful, to conduct such activities in the fresh air. You should definitely show your imagination and diversify the lesson with bright pictures, equipment, think through songs and, of course, a script. Without it, any event will be boring and dull. Choose a fun scenario format and ensure that every student is able to participate.
This pastime serves 3 purposes.
1. Broadening your horizons. Extracurricular activities at school allow you to learn the language in more depth, analyze a specific topic, and develop reading and dialogue skills.
2. General developmental goal. Improves communication skills, develops and allows you to take initiative.
3. Educational process. Acceptance of fresh information, familiarization with the country being studied, development of interest in the language.
You can take any topic as a topic. These are the weather, animals, Christmas, traditions, national cuisine, sports. Younger children should choose simpler ones, such as counting. In this article we will try to think through a scenario for children of primary school age on the topic “Alphabet”.
How to run an extracurricular activity on languages
To increase student motivation, the lesson should be conducted in a relaxed and half-joking manner. The beginning should be such that the children themselves want to develop the topic, that is, inspiring. Talk about the importance of teamwork.
Exercises and tongue twisters
Tongue twisters, or rather their correct pronunciation, will help improve your pronunciation and form the necessary accent. This is how the muscles of the tongue are trained. Tongue twisters should be the easiest. Even if the kids won’t be able to repeat everything, the main thing is that they will hear the correct speech. Fun exercises and jokes will help relieve tension, further dilute the atmosphere, and allow you to relax. Developing an English language event is a very responsible process that can both introduce children to the subject and better unite the school team.
guess a riddle
For older children, you can use rhyming riddles during the event. And little students will happily listen to their teacher. For such kids, you should definitely translate everything you say. And if the lesson is held on the street, conduct it armed with a large number of pictures.
An example of an activity for elementary grades “Funny Alphabet”
Children who are just beginning to learn a foreign language will be interested in a script on the theme of the alphabet. Letters can be used as pictures or as soft toys. You should definitely come up with a light poem for each of them, preferably combining Russian and English phrases.
Tasks, goals, equipment
It is impossible to imagine an extracurricular activity in English without defining such a lesson in advance. It is on them that they rely when developing tasks. When conducting the “Funny Alphabet” scenario, the goals and objectives will be as follows:
1. Studying letters, correct pronunciation of sounds, teaching the alphabet.
2. Games in a relaxed atmosphere.
3. Development of team skills and individuality of each student, self-confidence.
To conduct this event, you will need the following equipment: music, songs in English, alphabet cards, a festively decorated school board.
Scenario
Distribute all the letters among the students. Have students take turns entering the classroom and also recite the poem they have learned. Letter cards should be distributed in advance for familiarization before conducting an extracurricular English language activity. Examples of poems could be:
There was a knock on the door.
Who's there?
Letter A and autumn autumn.
The letter is B, and the ball is ball,
I put the book on the table.
S. went hunting.
Kitty, take your paws away,
So that our delicious lunch does not go to a soft cat.
Don't come here
What if the letter D bites?
The cat runs as fast as he can
From the angry dog dog.
E came to stay with us for the night,
E starts with egg.
He is hatched by a quonka.
This is the end - the end, period.

The letter F will croak loudly,
After all, it is known that the frog frog -
Very loud wah!
Swifts fly high.

And we will be immersed in luxury.
The letter addressed everyone:

So that he can lie down in the crib
And he managed to light the lamp.
Oh, what monkeys!
Well, where would we be without monkey!
She wants something sweet
This means she needs melon.
The letter won't get tired of hanging,
Because there is a nest there.

We observe oak-tree.
The oak tree is calling everyone to come quickly.

Pirate - warlike pirate -
The parrot is happy.
Just look - here we are
She waved a palm branch.
I'm singing a great song
About the funny letter Q.
This queen is queen
He has a very important rank.
Tip: an extracurricular activity in English will be even more fun if you select a separate song for each letter.
The word is everywhere in the city:

The wolf howls loudly.
The doctor shouted to us from the door:
Who's next on X-Ray?
Don't be afraid, this is for everyone
So you need to get an x-ray.
Come on, take the oars,
Otherwise Y will catch up.
Calls far into the seas
White sailboat a yacht.
Are you familiar with the letter Z?
After all, we won a ticket,
See fox, goat
At the zoo - the local zoo.
Ending the game
At the end of all the letters, put each one in the correct order and sing any children's song on the theme of the alphabet. You can play the game “Letters Are Confused” and challenge other students who do not have enough elements to build the correct alphabet. All actions should be accompanied by cheerful songs and encouragement of the participants.
English can be taught at any school age, only the older the children, the more complex the program should be. Such classes promote deeper communication, eliminate conflict in the team, teach schoolchildren to take initiative and not be afraid to speak in front of others, and also develop attention, logic, memory and other qualities.

Progress of the event
Stage 1 - Introductory
(1-2 slide) - Hello, boys and girls! Do you like drinking tea? The English really does. Today you will learn some new interesting facts about one of the distinctive English traditions, called afternoon tea, or 5 o"clock tea. Let's watch a video. (Students watch a fragment of the video "Five o"clock tea at Brown"s Hotel London" )
(3 slide) - Do you have any idea why Englishmen drink tea at exactly this time of the day?
(4-6 slide) -This tradition dates back to 1840 and appeared thanks to Anna Maria Stanhope, Duchess of Bedford, who was the maid of honor of Queen Victoria. The fact is that during the 18th century a supper was put off for a later time until the beginning of the 19th century, and it ended up to be served at 7 and 8.30 pm. The additional meal between breakfast and dinner was lunch. But there was no other meal for a long period of time before supper that people felt very hungry.
Duchess of Bedford began to suffer from “bad feeling” in the stomach about 4:00 pm, that’s why she used to order her servants to bring her a tray with tea, bread and butter. Anna appreciated the feeling of comfort, so she began to experience such a “refreshment” every day and it became her habit. She began to invite friends to join her at about 5 o"clock in the afternoon in her chambers in Bivver Castle to share tea with her. Back in London, the Duchess continued the tradition, and soon the other ladies had such tea-drinking as a regular practice.
Thus afternoon tea party was a social event. Ladies of high society had guests in the living room between 4 and 5 o"clock. They exchanged gossip, planned the evening and met new people. Sometimes a lady came just for 10-15 minutes, as she wanted to visit some of these “ teas". Different tea cakes, cookies, sandwiches and fruit were served for tea-time. Besides tea, guests could enjoy coffee, wine, sherry or champagne. (On slides 4-6 there are images of social tea parties)
(7-8 slide) - Modern pace of life has changed the traditions and lifestyles of many Englishmen, but no matter how busy they are, the British are trying to find time for something to drink tea with a slice of pie. The traditional afternoon tea offers a variety of sandwiches (mandatory are thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches (finger sandwiches), and various cakes and buns (scones).
Stage 2 - Drawing up instructions for preparing tea
(9-10 slide) - Do you know how to make traditional English cream tea? Your task is to put the actions in the right order to make a recipe. (Which team is the fastest to create instructions for making tea using the suggested actions)
Answer:
Stage 3 - Finding correspondences between English phraseological units about tea and their Russian equivalents
(11 slide) - Match the idioms to their meanings in Russian (Who will find the matches faster among the teams)
Answer:
be not somebody’s cup of tea - not to your liking;
take tea with somebody - do business, have a business relationship with someone
not... for all the tea in China - not for anything in the world (not for any price)
a storm in a teacup - storm in a glass
be as good as a chocolate teapot - to be of little use (like a goat's milk)
read the tea leaves - predict at random (guess on coffee grounds)
Stage 4 - Watching a film about tea etiquette in England
Watch a video about tea etiquette in England. Make notes. After that you will have to show us how to behave at the table while drinking tea using the equipment given. (Students watch the video "English Cream Tea Etiquette". After watching the film, one of the team members is called to demonstrate the rules of etiquette. The correctness of the task is assessed)
Stage 5 - Song about tea
(12-13 slide) - Now you will listen to the song called "English Tea" of a well-known English singer Paul MacCartney. Your task it to complete the lyrics of the song with the missing words given above. (Teams are given the texts of the first verse and chorus of the song with gaps. After listening to the song, it is judged who filled in all the gaps in the text faster and correctly)

For a cup of English tea?

English Quiz “The Keys to Fort Boyard”
Description of material: This scenario will be useful for English teachers to conduct extracurricular activities. The quiz is held for students in grades 5-9 as part of English language week. By participating in the quiz, children develop and improve their intellectual and creative abilities, learn to win and suffer defeats with dignity.Basic goals:
increasing students' motivation to learn English,
development of communicative competence.
Teams of 6 participants (from different classes) are selected. Each team chooses a name for itself. Students of grades 10-11 and subject teachers act as the owners of the fort. The game takes place in two rounds.
Progress of the game.
The game begins in the lobby of the 1st floor, where the teams' presentations are heard and the rules of the game are announced; each team is given a route sheet.
Rules of the game.
The task of each team in the first round is to collect as many keys as possible, hidden in different places. In order to get the key, you must complete the task, the result of which is a hint for finding the key.
At each stage of the first round, only the participant chosen by the owner of the fort has the right to complete the task. At the same time, other team members do not have the right to enter the office. If the task is completed incorrectly or the performer does not invest in the allotted time interval, this participant remains a hostage in this place and does not have the right to take part in further play. A team member plays only once. Time during the stage is allotted to complete the task and to find the key.
In the first round, the team with the most keys wins. In case of the same number of keys, teams are invited to play an additional key.
The team that won the first round plays in the second round. The team's task is to guess the keyword. To do this, they collect clues offered by the owners of the fort, performing one or another task of the fort owners according to the same rules as in the first round. To get additional clues, you can sacrifice a team member.
First round - collecting keys
The team that collects more keys moves on to the second round; in the case of the same number of keys, team representatives are invited to play the game “The Last Stone”.

Second phase(recreation near the director’s office - 5 min):
The presenter says that evil enemies have safely hidden the key somewhere here and are not opening the treasured place to anyone. However, the most cowardly of the bandits admitted that the key could be found using the coordinate plane. At a point with certain coordinates on the floor there is a piece of paper on which it is written where the key is hidden. In addition to this sheet, there are several more sheets of paper on the floor where incorrect coordinates are indicated.
