Verb+Conjugation

 * Battle Ship review
 * Finding Patterns: -ir verbs
 * Matamoscas Verb review.
 * This activity could be adapted for any level and grammatical structure but I used it in my Spanish 2 class. We are reviewing the tenses, when to use each one (Present, Preterite, Imperfect, Future) and what adverbs of time generally evoke each tense. We have been working with this for a while and so now it was time to have some real fun. The students are separated into 2-3 teams and they then choose a representative to be the first swatter. On an overhead I had a bunch of verbs written in multiple tenses (for example como, comi, comia, etc). I would then read a sentence in english such as, Yesterday, I ate 5 tacos for dinner. The students then scrambled to find the correct (in this case preterite) verb and swat it first. I played it that the rest of the team could yell out to help the student at the board but that the first word they swatted was considered their final answer. The team to swat the correct answer got a point. To add challenge, after a team got the correct answer, the players went back to their team then had thirty seconds to write the entire sentence in spanish for an extra point. (I only repeated the sentence once, to make sure they paid attention). The team with the most points wins!
