Station "In the Club of Captain Vrungel"
The children are offered a story in which geographical errors were deliberately made. The team's task is not only to find these errors, but also to give the correct answer.
The story of Captain Vrungel.
“...After a long wandering across the ocean, we were carried out during a storm to the shores of some island or continent at 20 east. and 35.S. Apparently it was Africa.
Our ships, made from a giant Welwitschia tree, were destroyed. At dawn, we decided to go inland in search of water and food. The area was a savannah, which was teeming with various animals... In the distance a herd of antelopes could be seen, long necks giraffes..One day, when thick-skinned hippopotamuses crossed our path, we heard a tiger roar. In terms of vegetation, we encountered umbrella acacias with lush crowns and massive baobab trees, striking in their size.
At the end of the third day of travel, we reached a river that carried its muddy waters into the ocean. Local Arab residents helped us cross this river in kayaks. After saying goodbye to them, we continued on our way. Soon the savanna gradually turned into a dense equatorial forest. And we met a new tribe - the pygmies. This tribe consisted of hardy and strong people and engaged in hunting and gathering.
It became hot and we wanted to swim in the river. The pygmies forbade us to do this. “The evil spirit is a piranha! It’s impossible!” they said. And the elder of the tribe explained that this gigantic fish is distinguished by its extraordinary bloodthirstiness. She pounces on any living creature that gets into the river and gnaws it to the bone.
…In the evening we sat for a long time by the fire and had a long conversation with the good-natured pygmies. Suddenly it became stuffy and the sky, sparkling with stars, suddenly darkened, the air temperature noticeably increased. “This is samum,” the natives shouted and began to take refuge in their huts. An angry and dry wind was approaching, which so often happens in this natural area. We had to wait out the bad weather."
GEOGRAPHICAL ERRORS
1. Velvichia is not a giant tree, but a small plant
2. There are no tigers in Africa
3. Arabs are inhabitants of the desert, not the savannah
4. kayaks - boats of northern peoples
5. Pygmies are short
6.piranha is not found in African rivers
7.piranha is a small fish.
8. Samum is the wind in the desert, not in the equatorial forest.
Station “Land of Geographical Mysteries”
Each correct answer is worth 5 points.
1 riddle
“This river is full of water all year round. It crosses the equator twice. It flows along ledges and plateaus and has many rapids and waterfalls. In contrast to the Nile, it does not form a delta, and its muddy and fresh waters flow into the Atlantic Ocean in a wide stream.
What river are we talking about and what continent is it located on?
(Congo River in Africa)
2nd riddle
“This tree is one of the sacred symbols. It lives up to 4-5 thousand years. This is almost the fattest tree on the planet. There are specimens of fantastic stature. Some specimens reach 20 and 40 meters in diameter. In cool weather the tree turns green, and in warm weather it sheds its leaves to retain more moisture in a well-fed body. This tree does not burn in fire, and its fruits are called “monkey bread” .What kind of tree is this and on what continent does it grow?
(baobab in Africa)
3rd riddle
She is located below us
They're obviously walking upside down
It's a year turned inside out.

It's summer there in December, not July.
Rivers flow there without water.
They flow somewhere in the desert.
There are traces of wingless birds in the thickets,
There cats get snakes for food.
Animals are born from eggs.
And there dogs don’t know how to bark.
What continent are we talking about in Galina Usova's poem?
(Australia)
4th riddle
They are eaten raw, fried and dried. Animals also readily eat them. In many remote areas they replace money. In many tribes, their affectionate name is awarded to beloved girls. Fish in oases are sometimes caught on them. Cut from a tree in one day, they can be stored in limbo for years.
What tree are we talking about and what fruits?
(dates and date palm)
5th riddle
This traveler devoted his entire life to the study of Africa. Neither before him nor after him has anyone made so many geographical discoveries on this continent. For one of them, the discovery of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River, the Royal Geographical Society awarded him a gold medal. Who is this traveler?
(David Livingston)

Equipment:
Physical map of the world, physical maps of Africa, North and South America, Australia, Antarctica, Eurasia, atlases on students’ desks, plates with the inscriptions of continents, fish tokens.
The class is divided into two teams. On the board there are signs with the names of the continents and the serial numbers of questions from one to ten are written. The team that will be the first to go on geographic fishing will be determined by lot. The members of this team name the continent and a serial number from one to ten, and the leader, depending on this, asks a question about this continent. The questions raised are not voiced again. The team needs to not only answer the question, but also show (if it is a geographical object) this place on the map. For the correct answer, the team receives a token in the form of a fish. If a team finds it difficult to answer a question, the turn passes to the other team. The winner of the competition is determined by the number of fish tokens. You can also determine the most active fisherman in the class.
Experience shows that the game goes quickly, students are highly active throughout the competition.

GEOGRAPHIC CHARADES
The first one can be made from snow,
A piece of dirt could also be one.
Well, the second thing is passing the ball,
This is an important task in football.
Whole people take them on hikes,
After all, without him they will not find the way.
(Com + Pass = Compass.)
You will read the word from left to right,
Then you will find protection from the rain.
If you read it from the end,
You will find a mountain lake right there.
(Canopy - Sevan.)
The first two syllables are flower,
My third syllable got into the “tub”.
And if you read them together,
Then you will end up in the Volga city.
(Astra + Han = Astrakhan.)
Here's an easy charade for you:
You need to add “N” to the note.
The note no longer sings
And it flows like a river.
(Do + N = Don.)
The first is flying water,
You will always meet me in a Russian bathhouse.
And secondly, there are brands of cars
From the Russian fleet, guys.
Still, together - the capital of France,
This is the city that fashionistas dream about.
(Steam + “Izh” = Paris)
Take away the letter “C” from the elephant
And add the name of the river.
The capital should turn out to be
What is visible on the map of Europe.
(Lon + Don = London.)
With “K” - when you turn to the map -
This is the capital of Turkey.
With "G" - Siberian River,
Full of water, deep.
(Ankara - Angara.)
With the letter "S" - Russian city
Close to the north, where it's cold.
Without it, we take it in our hands,
To iron skirts and trousers.
(Iron - iron.)
With “H” - I walk in the sky
And I foretell a storm for you.
With "L" - I am a city on the river
Not far from Moscow.
My gingerbread and samovar
Everyone knows: both young and old.
(Cloud - Tula.)
If "C" accidentally falls into the Amur,
Where will the river flow then, guys?
(From the Far East, the river will go to Dagestan and flow not to the Sea of Okhotsk, but to the Caspian: Amur - Samur.
I have countries in my palms,
Rivers, mountains, oceans.
Can you guess what the trick is?
I hold with my hands... (Globe.)
It stands on a thin leg
In the office on the window,
And on it, believe it or not,
The whole world fits in! (Globe.)
In four barrels
Six Whales are salted. (Earth: Oceans and Continents.)
Round Barrel
333 bezels. (Earth and parallels.)
The globe is divided evenly
The line is conditional.
Above is north, below is south.
Name the border, friend. (Equator.)
It's always summer there -
In September, in April.
And this circle is longer
Other parallels.
All the guys will say in unison:
“This line is ...!” (Equator.)
Above is the pole, below is the pole.
There is a hot zone in the middle. (Equator.)
The whole globe is crossed,
Converge at the poles.
Gradually moving
Hands on any clock.
Across land, oceans
Lay down... (Meridians.)
The eldest among them is the equator.
And from north to south
These lines guys
Everything is parallel to each other.
You managed to guess
What is this? ... (Parallels.)
I've traveled to different countries
Sailed along rivers, oceans,
Walked bravely through the desert -
On one sheet of paper. (Geographic map.)
I keep it in my desk
The globe on a hundred pages! (Atlas.)
This device will tell you the right way,
The magnetic needle will point north. (Compass.)
Take it, my friend,
Me on a hike!
No one is with me
It won't go to waste!
Way to go
I'll tell you exactly!
Where to go, -
I'll always tell you! (Compass.)
The north is where there are a lot of blizzards.
Where it's hot -
It will be... (South.)
There are giant mountains here -
Tibet, Altai, Pamir,
Carpathians and Balkans.
The whole world knows them.
Here are the rivers Ob and Angara,
Don, Volga, Lena and Kura.
Forest diversity
In our native ... (Eurasia.)
We will find it on the globe
Two different poles!
And we’ll find it at Yuzhny
A continent covered in ice! (Antarctica.)
Here, among the polar ice floes,
The penguin is trampling importantly.
This continent is deserted
And the penguin is here as a guide.
He is ready to tell people
How beautiful... (Antarctica.)
There are sharks scurrying around and gorillas jumping.
Scary "big evil crocodiles"
They will bite you, beat you and offend you.”

Burnt with heat
Desert Sahara.

Elephants and monkeys
Lions, zebras and giraffes
Walking in hot ... (Africa.)

Its seeds are also tasty - small dark nuts. This is the favorite food of mice. They eat almost the entire crop.

Even nails hammered into it do not rust. Children collect its resin and chew it like chewing gum. Then the teeth will not deteriorate. (Larch).
