This document describes an educational game called "Travel to the Country of the English Language" for Ukrainian 5th-6th grade students learning English. The game aims to motivate students and reinforce vocabulary. Students travel in groups to different "stations" focused on English reading, games, puzzles and songs. At each station, students can earn points for their team. The game concludes with teams counting their total points and winners being awarded. An appendix provides example materials for some of the game stations.

2. Подорож у країну англійської мови
Цілі та завдання:
створюватипозитивну мотивацію до вивчення англійської мови;
повторитиі закріпити вивчений матеріал;
навчити дітей бачити результати колективної діяльності.
"Подорож"проводиться з учнями 5-6 класів. Всі учні є мандрівниками, які
відправляються в подорож по країні «Англійська мова». Коженклас займає свій вид
транспорту, що рухається на різних напрямках. Діти самі придумують свої
розпізнавальні знаки, але в кожномуз них є свій лідер групи, який веде весь клас по
зупинкам мандрівки. Щоб групи "не стикалися" у дорозі, кожномукласу видається
"travel plan", в якому написані всі назви зупинок у визначеномудля кожного класу
порядку. В екскурсійному листі також вказується час зупинки кожної групи,
кількість отриманих балів та підпис "керівника екскурсії" (вчителя англійської
мови).

Station 1: "Reading"
My favorite season and weather
There are four seasons in the year: winter, spring,
summer and autumn. Every season has its fine days.
As for me, I try to enjoy each season of the year. I like
warm and beautiful days of early autumn.
In winter the trees are covered with white snow
and look beautiful. Winter is a time of joy. Winter
holidays are always connected with presents, good
mood, parties and a lot of fun. When spring comes, the
air is full of freshness and aroma of flowers.
Summer brings warmth and new joys. My favorite
season is summer. As I am a student, I may enjoy my
summer holidays. They are always full of fun. The
weather is usually fine, it is warm and the days are the
longest in the year. I may spend a lot of time with my
friends. When it gets very hot, we usually go to the
river, sunbathe, swim and play different games.
Sometimes, the weather gets cold. Dark clouds
bring thunder and lighting and it starts raining. But I
like summer thunderstorms, they make the air fresh
and we can see a rainbow in the sky.
In summer the first fruits and vegetables appear.
My favorite fruit is a melon. But I also like peaches,
plums and cherries. Summer is a really good time for
me.
