¡Ataque!+Verb+Game

This game has quite a bit of prep ahead of time, but students really get into it and it helps them with conjugation so it's worth it. Explaining the game takes about 5 minutes at the beginning of class. What you'll need:
 * ¡Ataque! game boards, copied
 * Poker chips (or any kind of chips to serve as tokens)
 * 8-10 6-sided die
 * Sets of verb cards (you'll want 12-15 different verbs in each set)

This is essentially what the game looks like:



Split the class into groups of 3-4 students. Then, have them send up one representative to get the materials. > Land on **¿Qué significa?** draw a verb card and give the correct English meaning to earn one token. > Land on **¡Ataque!** draw a verb card and give all 6 conjugations. If you do this correctly, you make take 3 tokens (if your opponents don't have any yet) OR steal all the tokens of the opponent of your choice.
 * 1) Each student finds their own pawn for the game (ring, earring, paper clip, coin...) and places it at the start.
 * 2) Shuffle the verb cards and place them face down on the "Verbos" square on the board.
 * 3) Whoever has the closest birthday to today's date rolls first. Then continue playing clockwise.
 * 4) Land on a **subject pronoun**, draw a verb card and conjugate correctly to earn one token.
 * 1) Collect 20 tokens to win the game! All players get a participation point for the day, winners get an extra 2 points and a DULCE!


 * Before class, I took the time to conjugate the verbs up on the board, so that the student had something to keep them accountable to the correct conjugations. It was an honors-system of the student whose turn it was to not look at the board- the kids are actually REALLY good at policing each other in this!
