Timing: 5 minutes

Aim: Oral production of first, second and third person singular forms of present tense –er and –ir verbs, bringing together students’ learning on-er/-ir verbs from across the two lessons

Procedure:

1. Player A rolls the dice twice to generate 1) a pronoun and 2) a verb.

2. S/he changes the infinitive to produce a conjugated verb e.g., 1+6 = aprendo

3. S/he then chooses a word or phrase from the square to finish their sentence.

4. Partners take it in turns thereafter.

Each word from the square can only be used once. Players can keep a note of their correctly formed sentences in their exercise books if teachers wish (to then translate into English to finish the activity). Once a word is used it can be crossed out. As the number of possible words decreases, players may have to ‘knock’ if there is no appropriate word to finish their sentence. In this case, play passes to their partner. E.g. Player A throws 1 and 6 = vivo but there are no remaining places to live/people to live with. No correct sentence can be formed and play passes to Player B. The player who is able to make the most sentences within the time or until all the words run out is the winner.

In the first instance, students will agree between themselves whether the sentences produced make sense. Teachers may need to arbitrate over the validity of certain sentences. As the remaining words decrease, this will lend to increased creativity!

5. To bring the learning to a close, students should translate into English the sentences that they made. If teachers did not make this a requirement during the speaking activity, teachers could ask students to write sentences with given combinations (an example is given on the next slide), or have students write six of their own choice – the best six that they came up with for example.
