The Dice Game - practice with conjugating verbs

This game comes to me from another amazing Spanish teacher, so I again cannot take credit! I like this game because you can use it with any type of verb from regular present tense to stem-changers to preterite or imperfect. We only do this about once a month so it keeps it new and fun for my kids.

Directions: Put a list of verbs on the overhead/projector. In this case, we were doing stem-changing verbs, so I had six verbs like probar, preferir, poder, pedir, servir, and querer.

Each student at their table needs a piece of scratch paper, and then they only need one pencil for the whole table to share. Then, they need one dice (I know it's "die", but I just hate calling it that for some reason!)

Have them roll to see who rolls highest; highest roll goes first and starts with the pencil.

When I tell them to start, the first person begins conjugating the first verb into all five (or six, if you teach vosotros) forms, just like they would on a verb chart. Then, they can move on to the next verb. While they are doing this, the other three people at their table are taking turns rolling the dice as fast as they can. If someone rolls a six, they steal the pencil and start conjugating the same verbs on their own sheet of paper. Each student must do ALL six verbs. First student to finish all verbs and do them correctly wins.

If there is any confusion, please feel free to contact me!
