Quest tasks
All tasks in the quest have a fun plot, colorful design on a school theme, as well as detailed instructions with tips for carrying out the quest and a layout of the postal envelope. Each correctly solved task leads participants to a new cache. Until the students find all the hiding places and solve all the hidden tasks, the magical gift will not be found.
Description of tasks in the quest: ◊ Textbooks and books - a fun task in which you need to find the corresponding textbooks by the names of the objects. The difficulty is that on each textbook only pictures are visible, and there are no titles. ◊ The fifth odd one is a logical task in which students need to use the available subjects on four desks to find those that are not related to the educational process. It is these items that will suggest the name of the next hiding place. ◊ Teachers' council - a task for logic and attentiveness. In this task, participants will have to determine from individual things of the teachers which of them is a historian, mathematician, etc. Having correctly guessed the profession of each teacher, the name of the secret hiding place will become known. ◊ Find a pair - a task for logic and attentiveness. In this task, participants will have to connect school objects that are meaningful to each other with a straight line. Thus, after drawing each line, cross out the key letters from which you need to create the word - hiding place. ◊ Letter Maze is a visual puzzle in which participants have to navigate through 4 labyrinths and place all the letters correctly. By putting each letter in its place, you will know where the next secret cache is hidden. ◊ Buns and cheesecakes -
Puzzle on knowledge of school cooking.
Based on the image of buns, cheesecakes and buns that are sold in the buffet or canteen of each school, determine their filling. Having done everything correctly, the secret cache will be found. ◊ Error on the Board - a humorous task in which you need to find mistakes in words. Having corrected all the mistakes, from each correct letter it will be possible to form the word cache. ◊ School Riddles is a fun activity where students have to solve funny riddles about school supplies. Having guessed the riddle, it will become clear what kind of subject we are talking about. Each item has a letter written on it, and by collecting them all together the name of the cache will be known. ◊ The first letter is a task in which the letters are encrypted in pictures, as well as in a special dotted graphic image. As soon as the children guess that the first letter in the picture is the key letter in the name of the cache, the dotted lines will help place them in the correct places. Having done everything correctly, the name of the cache will become known. ◊ Ciphertext is a final puzzle in which participants have to decipher symbols depicted on a blackboard.
Having deciphered it, the resulting text will tell you where the secret cache is hidden. You can read reviews about our quests here “Reviews”.
Schoolyard. The secret of the word. Quest game for 7th grade students
Modern realities require from teachers and class teachers a new approach to the process of organizing extracurricular activities, searching for new forms that are interesting and understandable to the generation of modern schoolchildren who know the basics of computer literacy and spend their free time playing computer games. The powerful flow of new information, the use of computer technology on television, and the spread of electronic games have a great influence on the child and his perception of the world around him. The nature of his favorite practical activity—games—changes significantly, and his hobbies also change. A child's brain, tuned to receive information while watching entertainment programs on television, will much more easily perceive the information offered through media. It is very important to organize the educational process so that the child actively, with interest and enthusiasm collaborates with the teacher and peers, sees the fruits of his labor and can appreciate them. A combination of traditional education methods and modern information technologies, including computer ones, can help the teacher and class teacher in solving this difficult problem. Creating a quest game is an attempt to combine a computer game that has become familiar to schoolchildren with cognitive, developmental activities.
Patriotic education occupies an important place in extracurricular activities. I have developed a series of extracurricular activities aimed at patriotic education. Work begins in elementary school and continues through middle and high school. The series of events under the general title “Russian House” is divided into sections: “The Mystery of the School Yard”, “School Yard. The Mystery of the Word", "History of Russia", "Russian Cuisine", "Great Russian Names". The information material contains theoretical information about the culture and history of both the Russian and Khakass people (we live in Khakassia). The presented event is held jointly with parents on a weekend day. The best time to conduct it is the beginning of the school year (first academic quarter, warm autumn days). The combination of intellectual competitions, educational moments, outdoor sports games is an interesting pastime for children and parents, contributing to the unity of the class team, the class teacher and the parents of this class. Educational objectives: - increase cognitive interest in their native land, in their country; – activate and enrich vocabulary. Educational: – to cultivate a tolerant and respectful attitude towards the culture of one’s people; – cultivate a friendly attitude towards each other as a result of joint activities; – develop the ability to find general solutions in search situations. Materials for the event and equipment: multimedia, presentation, task cards, sign cards, costumes. Preliminary preparation. On the eve of the game, the class receives a parcel with a mysterious letter: “For everyone who is not afraid of difficulties and knows how to deal with dangers, who knows a little more than others, we are holding a quest game “Schoolyard. The mystery of the word." The teacher invites the children to divide into two groups: organizers and seekers. The first group, together with the class teacher, prepares interesting tasks (makes route sheets, selects theoretical material); the second group, seekers, completes the tasks of the game.
