Правила игры-викторины.

В игре принимают участие 3 группы учеников: ведущие, которые предъявляю задания (вопросы); участники игры, отвечающие на эти вопросы; члены жюри, которые оглашают количество набранных баллов каждым участником игры.

Каждый ведущий имеет на своём столе название раздела с его номером и цифровое табло (они крепятся на специальных подставках), а также перечень вопросов по одному из пяти разделов:

I. General Information.

II. Geographical Position.

III. Places of Interest.

IV. Famous People.

V. Political System.

Участники игры знают названия пяти разделов, но не знают, естественно, какие вопросы включены в эти разделы. Право каждого участника - назвать раздел и номер вопроса. Ведущий названного раздела предъявляет задание и зачёркивает на табло номер выбранного вопроса. Если участник даёт правильный ответ, ему зачисляется балл (баллы). Выигрывает тот, кто наберёт большее количество баллов.

После трёх результативных ходов участник игры имеет право сам назначить «цену» своему ответу - увеличить её в два раза по сравнению с номером соответствующего раздела. Но при этом он должен помнить, что в случае неправильного ответа его очки «сгорают» в такое же количество раз.
