Literature quest game for grades 5-8
Extracurricular activity
Quest “Through the Pages of Books”
For students in grades 6-8
Goal: to develop curiosity and interest in reading books; enrich students' vocabulary; to cultivate an attentive reader and love of books, the ability to work in a team.
The game is designed for students in grades 6-8. High school students act as “station guards”. Students receive an advanced task: prepare a team name, motto, emblem corresponding to the theme of the event; reread the fairy tales of A.S. Pushkin, the fables of I.A. Krylov
Equipment: route sheet for each team, puzzle, things for the Lost and Found (you can use photos of things).
A route sheet (made in the form of a map with stations marked on it) is issued to each team, taking into account the fact that they should not intersect at the same station - the game is played simultaneously for all teams. In preparation for the event, it is necessary to make illustration puzzles, letter puzzles, select items for the Lost and Found Office, and think over the design of all stations.
Stations can be located in different parts of the school: in literature rooms, in the gym, in the music room, in the assembly hall. The goal of each team is to guess the name of the book in which the winners will receive a letter from a literary hero. For correctly completing a task at stations, teams receive a number (coded letter). The unraveled letters should form the title of the book. (in our version it is “Robinson Crusoe D. Defoe”)
Time spent at stations is limited - 5 minutes.
PROGRESS OF THE GAME
Presentation of teams (name, motto. For example, “Wings” - “If you read a lot, you gain wings in life!”, “Sorcerers” - “As soon as we wave our wand, we will immediately find the answer to everything”)
