| Title | Spanish conjugation activity |
| Body | A recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv generated the following (abridged) suggestions for teaching Spanish verb conjugation. ----- I have the students create their own verbs, and we have a good discussion of what Spanglish is. Basically, they take an English word and create an AR verb infinitive out of it. Then they must "define" their verb (using English), conjugate it correctly for all subject pronouns, and draw a picture to represent it.They also write sentences using their new verb in this format: Subject or subject pronoun + conjugated verb + completion. Next, they present their verb to the class. The students really enjoy this and I get some very creative responses! Grieben, C. Re: Spanish subject pronouns activity request - Yo tu el ella Ud. etc...

Dress up like a doctor, or a karate man and overexaggerate the "cutting off" of the -ar ending. The goofier it is, the better they will remember how to do it! Show the endings for the other forms. Next, pass out one verb to each student. Have them conjugate the verb and show you. Next, have them make a "verb garden." Each student turns their verb into a flower, with each petal being a different subject pronoun and verb form. I usually put them on top of my chalkboard. They're cute, they decorate the room, and students always have a reference. Moritz, W. Re: Spanish subject pronouns activity request - Yo tu el ella Ud. etc...
