These questions could require a conjugation, sentence completion or a complete answer. If they get it right, they get a point and a Bazinga! Spanish Verb Lotto is great for recapping and reviewing verb tenses and moods. You hand each student one of the custom playing boards and a pile of cards.
They then spread these cards out face-down in front of them. The first player to get three different cards for each verb tense wins. In Dice Tic Tac Toe , each group gets a die and a worksheet. Each space in the tic-tac-toe board should have a different subject or verb definition. Every board will correspond with a number and a verb give them a list so they know which number goes with which verb. The first student rolls the die, and chooses a subject that corresponds with the roll.
For example, if they roll a three, they pick a subject off the third tic-tac-toe board. They then conjugate the verb on a piece of paper and hand it to their partner. Set one team at the board, and the other about 10 feet away from the basket.
Give the students at the board a list of verbs, and give the other group the balls. The second group will try to make as many baskets as possible while the first group conjugates verbs the time is up when all the verbs are done. Unlike the other games on this list, Fiesta requires a little bit of creative design skills.
Why, you ask? Well, the game requires a game board that is similar in style to Candy Land. The purpose of the game is similar to that of Candy Land as well, as each student engages in an epic race to the finish line! Game play is similar to Candy Land, as well. The students take turns rolling the die, and they move their piece according to their roll. If they get the conjugation right, they stay on that spot. If they get it wrong, however, they move their piece back the same number of spaces as they rolled!
In the 2-player version of White Board Racing, each pair should receive a white board. With all white boards distributed, you, the teacher, call out a verb and subject, and then the students have to race to conjugate the verb accordingly.
The first pair that holds up the correct answer gets two points, and the second pair to do so gets one point. The pair with the most points at the end of the game wins. You give each group a board and call out the verb. After each student writes down a conjugation on the white board, they pass it to the next person in line.
The last player to write down a conjugation holds up the board, and the first team to correctly complete the relay gets the point. Want to work from home?
Maintain flexible hours? Make a positive impact? I left that room thinking either I was on to a winning technique or those eleven-year-old boys were the smartest kids I had ever met. Once I provided my students with the resources, taught them how to use them and ensured they knew the basics, I let them be independent. This links in with the final step: try, try, try and try again.
Why not get your students to do their own versions? Creating a rap or song in which they explain conjugations is a fantastic way for them to do some revision and check their understanding.

Snakes and Ladders. It takes a bit of time to create the game, but once you have created the boards you can use them as many times as you want. For example, ayudar to help — I help. Students have to conjugate the verb correctly when they land on that square. This game works really well as a plenary to your lessons, to consolidate the learning of specific vocabulary. This is one of my personal favorites. Students work in small groups or pairs, with one of them running outside to memorize the grid and then coming back in to copy the words down in the correct positions, while the others try to translate the conjugated verbs correctly.
Create a set of cards with a conjugated verb on each of them. Students take turns telling others the verb meaning in English, while the teammates try to translate it correctly. This game is most useful when applied to specific vocabulary that has been previously studied. For example, last week I was teaching free time, so some of the cards included things like escuchas musica , montan en bicicleta and juego al futbol.
Students can consolidate their learning and understanding of conjugations by creating posters in which they explain how to change verbs appropriately into different tenses. They can be fantastic displays for your room and students will probably refer to them to regularly get some help. If a student wants to place their knot or cross in the space, they must conjugate the verb correctly. One of the best ways to teach students about irregular verbs is by teaching them the weather. This topic uses a variety of common verbs such as estar , ser , haber and hacer.
Why not get your students to prepare a weather forecast in different tenses? They can act it out, prepare the maps to display and they can either film themselves or be filmed in class.
They will love it! Making students stand up and run around the room is a great way to step away from the traditional grammar worksheets.
