Использование дидактических игр в процессе обучения английскому языку в 6-7 классах общеобразовательной школы

A player who is not able to answer a question quickly must pay a forfeit.   

HOW EXACT CAN YOU BE?

In order to play this game you must have a table with different things on it: matches in a heap, note-books in a heap, flowers in a vase, pins and needles in a heap, etc.

Give each player a sheet of paper and a pencil and ask him to write down how many matches, note-books, flowers, pins and needles he thinks there are on the table.

Do not give the player time to count.

The player who has the most correct answers wins.

OPPOSITES

Any number of players can play this game. The players sit in a row. The leader stands in front of them.

Whatever the leader tells a player to do, the player must do exact the opposite. If the leader tells the player to stand up, he must, of course, sit down.

If the leader tells the player to smile, he must not smile, though it is very difficult, of course.

If the leader tells the player to cry, he must laugh, and so on. The player who can’t do that drops out of the game.

The last player in the game is the winner.

SIMON SAYS

You must choose one player as the leader. He must stand on a box, chair or table so that everyone can see and hear him. The other players stand in a line facing the leader.

The leader begins by saying: “Simon says, ‘Hands out in front of you.’ Then each player must stretch out his hands.

The players obey orders obey orders only if the leader first says “Simon says”. If the leader just says: “walk backwards”, then everyone must stand still because the leader did not say: “Simon says, ‘Walk backwards’.”

If a player obeys an order, which he must not obey, he drops out of the game, too. The last player left in the game is the winner.

The leader may not obey his own orders. He may even do some thing different. For example, he may say, “Simon says, ‘Put your hands on your hips’.” And he himself puts his hands on his shoulders.

Also the leader may give orders like this: “Simon says, ’Take one step forward… Now one step to your right’.” In this case the players must only take one step forward and not the step to the right, because the leader did not say “Simon says” before the leader did not say “Simon says” before he gave the second order.
