Ход мероприятия

Teacher: Good afternoon pupils and guests! Today we are celebrating ABC Holiday. The main heroine of our holiday is Mrs. Letter. Please meet Mrs. Letter!

Mrs. Letter: Good afternoon children, parents and teachers!

Pupils: Good afternoon,

Good afternoon,

Good afternoon to you!

Good afternoon,

Good afternoon.

We are glad to see you.

Mrs. Letter: How are you, pupils?

How are you?

I hope you are fine, pupils.

Pupils: We hope you are too.

Mrs. Letter: Let me introduce our judges (introduces judges). They will give you and count your points.

At our holiday we have two teams and we will name them. Oh, but how? Well, I have an idea. Name me the first letter of English alphabet (the team the first to name the letter gets the name “А”) and the last one (the second team is called “Z”). Let’s start. Today we will play a lot of games and the first game is for captains. Meet the captains. This is… and this is… (names the captains). You … and you… ask each other three questions.

Captains: (possible questions)

  1. What is your name?
  2. How old are you?
  3. How are you?
  4. Where do you live?
  5. What class are you in?
  6. Have you got a mother (father, sister, brother)

Mrs. Letter: And now tell us about yourselves.

(Model: My name is Sasha and I am 7 years old. I am from Russia and I live in Tavda. I am in the second class and I like English.)

Mrs. Letter: Thanks a lot for your stories. You can speak English and that’s great. And can you read and write? Do you know all English letters? Before the next game I want you to answer my questions about the alphabet.

  1. Сколько букв в английском алфавите?
  2. Каких букв больше: гласных или согласных?
  3. Сколько гласных?
  4. А сколько согласных?
  5. Назови гласные, по написанию похожие на русские.
  6. Какая гласная по написанию не похожа на русскую?
  7. В каких парах гласных букв большие и маленькие буквы похожи друг на друга? (Оо, Uu,Yy)
  8. А какие из согласных похожи на русские?
  9. В каких парах согласных большие и маленькие буквы похожи?
  10. Назовите другое название алфавита (АВС или alphabet)

(1 point for each correct answer)

Thank you for your answers. They were fantastic.

And now game 2. Oh, but I have a serious problem. All the letters in my bag are mixed. Help me to put them in pairs: big and small. (Gives cards with letters to the participants, e. g. a A to join them together Aa)

Mrs. Letter: I see you know all the letters very well. Name them please.

(Pupils name their letters)

Mrs. Letter: Now game 3. You write a letter on the person’s back in front of you and he or she writes it on the board (1 point for each correct letter).

Mrs. Letter: Well done! (Almost) all the letters are correct. And do you know how to read the letters? Let’s check it in game 4. The quickest gets 1 point. Which letter is read as /r/, /e/, /k/, /h/, /kw/, /w/..? (Pupils name the letters and show them).

Mrs. Letter: I think you are pretty tired. Let’s do some exercises. But I can’t do them because I am not young. Who can help me?

Pupil: I can. (He or she stands in front of the pupils and they sing a song “If you are happy”)

If you are happy and you know it,
Clap your hands!
If you are happy and you know it,
Clap your hands!
If you are happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it
If you are happy and you know it,

Clap your hands! (Stamp your feet!; Snap your fingers!; Nod your head!; Click your tongue!; Say OK!; Do all six!)

Mrs. Letter: Excellent! But can you make words? Let’s play game 5. Make as many words as you can and read them. (Pupils come to each other and build words, e.g. it and read them. Judges count only correct words, 1 point for a word)

Mrs. Letter: Brilliant! But I think it was an easy task for such clever girls and boys. And the next game 6 is “Scrambled letters”. Put the letters correctly to make a word. (Here a computer can be used to show letters on a big screen and children put them in order with a computer mouse).

Mrs. Letter: Bravo! And now game 7. Let’s do the snake from words. The last letter is the beginning of the next word, e. g. it-top-pin…. The team that makes the longest snake is the winner. (1 point for each word)

Mrs. Letter: You are very smart and bright. You know everything. I am very sorry but it’s time to finish our holiday. And let’s do it with a merry song about English alphabet. It is our final game. (The pupils sing 2 songs, judges count points)

Song 1:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M,
I can sing the alphabet,
Can you do the same?
I can sing the alphabet,
I’ve got it in my head!
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z!

Song 2:

A B C D E F G,
H I J K L M N O P,
Q R S T U V W,
Q R S T U V W,
X Y Z,
And you can see
Now I know the ABC!

Mrs. Letter: I hope you enjoyed the holiday and now it’s time to listen to your results (all the pupils are given certificates and medals)

Mrs. Letter: Thank you very much for the holiday. Good bye!
