"History is the witness of centuries - the torch of truth, the soul of memory, the mentor of life" under this motto, an intellectual lesson-game on history was held as part of the decade of special disciplines "OP, AT and Communication" and "Transport" in groups C-114 and A-114 under the guidance of a teacher of social disciplines Suleimenova G.S. Lesson-the game consisted of 4 intellectual rounds, students earned and received points called "MIND", for example -5 MINDS for the correct answer in the form of emoticons. The purpose of this lesson was to create conditions for the identification, support and development of capable students, their self-realization, as well as the creation of conditions for the optimal development of students of the EKEC. History likes to repeat itself. Its study is largely based on this age-old principle. Therefore, it was interesting for the first-year students to recall the material they had learned and work with the historical map of the world and our country. It was a team game led by captains. Having successfully completed all rounds, the first-year teams won worthy prizes with diplomas from the jury and received sweet prizes. The lesson-game as a whole was informative, interesting and organized. It is possible to note the high activity of all students, the desire to study and work closely in a team, to show their abilities and communication skills.
