Verb Conjugations:<\/h2>\n

5 Activities for Mastery<\/h2>\n

Verbs, verbs, verbs. They\u2019re so important, but verb conjugations are often a rough spot.<\/p>\n

To really be fluent, you do need to be able to master verbs. You need verbs to express actions, ideas, and who\u2019s doing what. In my opinion, you almost can\u2019t get enough practice. But let\u2019s face it, just working in the textbook all the time is completely boring. You need to have some fun. I wanted to share a few fun activities to help you and your students get some great practice on verbs.<\/p>\n

Hot Potato.<\/strong> This was one of the best purchases that I\u2019ve ever made. You can use this in so many ways. Basically, you open up the back, you turn it on, press it, and pass it around until it goes off. The person it lands on must answer a bunch of questions or do something.<\/p>\n

Whenever I have a set of verbs we need to do, some new tense or mood- whatever it is- have them get their papers or cheat sheets out. When it lands on a person everybody has to ask them a question (or 5, 10- you get the picture). For example, how do you say \u2018I go\u2019, how do you say \u2018we went\u2019, whatever verb set that you\u2019re doing, have them do it. It breaks up the monotony and gives them the real practice they need.<\/p>\n

Feet. <\/strong>I went to a conference some years ago, and I really wish I could give the person credit who presented this. He talked about feet with verbs. There\u2019s all these cut out paper stock feet with the different subjects on them. They walk through the verb set you are doing, conjugating the verbs as they go over the feet. It\u2019s fun, the class helps them out, and they get some great verb practice.<\/p>\n

Checks.<\/strong> Any verb set that we’re doing, not only do they need to know how to conjugate the verb, they need it to make sentences. In Checks, I have them take out a piece of paper and I tell them it\u2019s for extra credit (or whatever it is you do for value in your class). I tell them it\u2019s extra credit so they never think it\u2019s counting against them, but rather all counting for them.<\/p>\n

If we do a set of verb conjugations (which they struggle with because they\u2019re beginners), they try to assimilate it. I might say, for example, I eat lunch at 2:00 in English. They\u2019re supposed to write down the Spanish. It\u2019s basically translation. They write down, \u2018almuerzo a las dos\u2019 and then I would show them the correct answer, and they would give themselves a check. It\u2019s just fantastic practice. They hand it to you, you look it over and add up their checks. It is pretty old school, but it works.<\/p>\n

Asking and answering<\/strong>. It\u2019s the core. I love to give verb asking and answering quizzes and tests.<\/p>\n

When you have a set of verbs, they\u2019re going to be linked up to some communicative task, of course. The task might be, for example, talking about places you go. This gives real-life experience of verb conjugations in context.<\/p>\n

You might do that in the same chapter that you talk about what you do, where you live and what you play. I know they\u2019re all grouped differently in different books in different languages, but I think you get the point. They\u2019re all going to be themed around a similar communicative idea.<\/p>\n

For these ask and answer quizzes and tests, basically everyone has to ask and answer 5 questions. It seems very simple, and it is, but it\u2019s actually very fun and very rewarding. You\u2019re going to be the note taker and making sure everyone asks and answers 5 questions. One student might say, \u2018\u00bfAd\u00f3nde vas ma\u00f1ana?\u2019, \u2018Ma\u00f1ana voy a la iglesia\u2019 the other student might say. Where are you going tomorrow? Tomorrow I\u2019m going to church. That student is then going to ask another question to somebody. They can\u2019t use notes, they can\u2019t use their book, and they can\u2019t ask any questions. It\u2019s great because it builds up a communicative conversation using whatever verbs you\u2019ve got and can get beginners talking for long periods of time early on in the game.<\/p>\n

Koosh Ball.<\/strong> It\u2019s just a fun little ball that you can throw around. It\u2019s very soft so nobody gets hurt. It\u2019s not too big so it\u2019s never awkward. It\u2019s more than likely not going to knock anything over.<\/p>\n

The Koosh Ball is fun to throw around, also getting movement in there. This is going to give you a lot of opportunity to get practice with verbs. How do you say ‘_______’,?<\/em> And then they pass it to another student. How do you conjugate? Any verb work you want to do you just throw the ball around. It\u2019s really fun and it\u2019s a great change of pace.<\/p>\n

What do you do to get your students mastering verbs?<\/p>\n
