Our mother tongue is the Kazakh language. But it is necessary and useful to learn a foreign language, that's why pupils have got such subject as foreign language at school. English is used not only in England, but also in the other parts of the world. We learn English, because it is the language of science, politics and computers.

Our game is about proverbs and riddles. We know that every nation has its proverbs. But their meanings are similar. I think you'll understand it later, in the process of our game.

Қазақтың мақал-мәтелдерін алғаш қағаз бетіне түсірген ғалым - Ш.Уәлиханов. Ш. Уәлиханов пен Н.Н. Березин архивтерінде XIX ғасырдың елуінші жылдарында ел аузынан жазып алынған екі жүзден аса мақал-мәтелдер сақталған. Сондай-ақ, қазақ ауыз әдебиетінің басқа үлгілерімен бірге қазақ мақалдары мен мәтелдерін де жинақтап, жеке жинақтар шығарып, қазақ тілі мен әдебиетінің, тіл ғылымының, мәдениетінің дамуына зор үлес қосқан Ы.Алтынсарин, Ә.Диваев, В.Радлов, Щ.Ибрагимов, М.Терентьев, т.б. сынды ағартушы, ғалымдардың еңбегі ерекше.
