The student is in an enchanted castle. In order to leave it safe and sound, he/she has to go through six halls. In each hall they answer questions, related to their general knowledge of the English language, English history and literature.

“Let’s continue with the mysteries theme. I have some riddles for you.” The class is now divided into groups of 4-5 students, riddles are presented to the class one by one. Each group has to discuss the riddle in English and then the first group to find out what the answer is gets 1 point. If the riddle is too difficult for the students, the teacher gives hints. The winning group receives some present- something little, connected with the topic.

Pedagogical aims:
to arise students’ interest in the topic and make them feel at ease with the new material
to acquaint the students with new vocabulary
to revise and extend students’ knowledge of reported speech
to give clear and comprehensible instructions for each activity
to develop students’ team spirit

Students work in pairs or in groups, depending on the number of students and computers in class.
It has 3 parts:
1. Knight Armour – the students have to connect the words to the armour pieces
2. Knight Tournaments – students answer questions about knights
3. Life of a knight – the students read a text about the life of knights. In the text there are missing words. The missing words are in a box above the text, the students have to drag the words to their proper place in the text.

The students have prepared presentations about their favourite desserts and share them with the class. It will be a good idea if the teacher has prepared something sweet and treats the students at the end of the class. The students may have prepared their favourite dessert and brought it to school, so that they can share the presentation about the dessert and the dessert itself.
