Abstract

The formation of soft skills, which are the most universal and in demand for successful adaptation and development in the modern world, is also carried out in extracurricular activities using a system of traditional and innovative technologies, methods and forms of work with students. The choice of pedagogical tools to achieve this goal primarily depends on the age of the students. In determining the optimal technologies and types of work for the development of students' "soft" skills, we considered the goals and features of extracurricular activities, as well as their types. Game technology is considered as an effective method of learning that promotes the acquisition of new skills. In this regard, carried out an analysis of  the popular pedagogical phenomenon of the quiz-game. It effectively develops students’ “soft” skills. This is facilitated by emotional attraction, a non-standardized environment, the possibility to apply the acquired knowledge in the educational process, as well as improving teamwork, communication, critical thinking and non-standard thinking skills. Therefore, quiz games were chosen as a tool for the formation of these important skills. Thus, in the course of the study we have identified the relationship between the participation of students in intellectual games in the format of “quiz” and the formation of competencies such as cooperation, communication, creativity and critical thinking at a high level.
