Squares
Squares- Draw a template with "dots" that can be connected into squares with lines (think four corners, a dot in each corner, then, in each box, write a vocabulary word in English OR a **verb and a subject** to conjugate. Students play with a partner, for every word or verb the know, they can draw a line, and the object it to complete the most boxes. With middle school kids, just vocab (no verbs) was great! With high school, I needed to add an extra element so they would not simply choose the same square 4 times in a row every turn they had. So, I added dice, and used subjects and verbs only. When it was a students turn, they rolled the die, and that number represented the subject pronoun they had to conjugate (1- I, 2- you, etc). Then they had the opportunity to pick whichever verb they wanted (or knew how to conjugate) in that particular form. If the form was already gone, you can decide whether they are skipped or they roll again. Who ever wins the most squares at the end is declared the "winner." user:cartierm
