But for the "Terem-Teremk" you need to prepare pictures:

Interactive game for elementary students
Some of the older generation remember the game with questions and answers, in which special pointers with metal tips were used. Round sheets were cut out on sheets with several questions on the right and answers on the left. When they covered a cardboard box with metal plaques, they just fell into these holes.
After reading the question on the right, the player with one pointer touched the circle near him. Then the right answer was chosen on the left. The second pointer had to be put in the appropriate circle. Since the pointers were on the wires and connected to the electrical circuit inside the box, with the correct answer, the light usually came on or the melody began to sound. The power in the circuit was provided by a battery.
The very way this game works now forms the basis of the exam and the State Examination. One question is given a choice of several answers.
There is a very primitive way to prepare a game of this kind. On the right side of the board write questions or paste sheets with colorfully designed riddles. There are answer sheets on the left side of the board. You can place them in free order, as if balloons were flying from the sky.
Participants are encouraged to line the questions with the correct answers. You can install two such boards - then two teams will compete. For excitement, it is recommended to arrange a relay race, where the participants will need to transfer chalk.
Puzzle questions for the postman game
You can offer the game "Deliver a message to the address!" Then you should prepare in advance letters from literary heroes or prototypes, fix pictures on the board - “photo of recipients”.
Here are sample riddles about fairy tales with answers that are bracketed. That is, the texts of letters can be the same as here - the addressee is indicated in brackets, those to whom they need to be “delivered”. It is best if there are a few more recipients than the letters themselves, so that the players have options for incorrect answers.
These riddles are based on the fact that many plots of fairy tales have analogues in the literature of other peoples and times. Choosing the right characters is the task of the participants.
- “We, the Gingerbread (Ginger) Man, Johnny the donut, the Smelly Cheesy Man and the Kulebyatka, gather on our day the angel of all our brothers from all over the world. You must also be present at the celebration! ” (Kolobok).
- “My dear Russian sister! Snow White writes to you from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. I know how similar our fates are, so I really want to meet with you! ” (The Dead Princess from a fairy tale by A.S. Pushkin).
- “Dear sister! The Greek Rodopis writes to you. My sister and I, Zamarashka, are looking forward to visiting you at our ball dedicated to my wedding with the prince! ” (Cinderella).
- “By this message I affirm that I, Jacques Bulemard, am a real person, unlike the character described in the fairy tale ... We are completely different from this scoundrel! I never mess with bad people. I just think that all diseases can be cured with leeches. " (Duremar from "Pinocchio").
- “My dear sister from Russia! Belle is writing to you from a distant country called France. We are having a beautiful prince, a formerly bewitched Monster, with a wedding soon. And we invite you to us! ” (Alyonushka from the fairy tale "Scarlet Flower")
Riddles of fairy tales
An interesting option might be short sideshow. The basis of their stories are famous fairy tales. But the scenarios of these scenes should be built in such a way that the names of the heroes are not mentioned anywhere. You can even transfer action to the present in some way.
For example, elementary school students can offer an interlude based on the fairy tale “About the Fisherman and the Fish”. She can be beaten in this way.
A girl is sitting at the table. Her friend comes in and tells that he met a magician on the street, who promised to fulfill all his wishes. Then the girl tells her friend that she always dreamed of having a new tablet. The boy leaves and returns with a tablet.
A girl picks it up, sits down to chat with friends on the Internet and finds out that some people are going to a concert of the fashion group "Crossroads" today. She requires the boy to get tickets for the performance. The kid leaves and returns already with tickets.
The girl begins to gather for a concert. And suddenly the thought occurred to her that she herself could be a singer. She even begins to show her friend her abilities. But he frowns at her singing, takes the tablet and tickets, and leaves.
The question may sound like this: “What famous fairy tale echoes the plot of this sideshow?”
A creative approach to fairy tales helps to reveal to children the main task of this genre, which is hidden in the proverb: “A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows!”
