| Title | Card Game for Practicing Subjunctive & Other Tenses |
| Body | The students say "Uno, dos, tres," and turn over one card each. (One student has the stack of expressions, one has the stack of verbs.) On the board, you have written what subject you want them to practice (i.e. "yo"). Let's say the students flip over "Es posible" and "ser". The first of the pair to SAY "Es posible que yo sea" wins that point, but the next round they could flip "Es cierto que" and "ir," and the sentence would change. They keep flipping the cards until they are all used up, shuffle, and flip again. Keep changing the subject on the board so they practice different ones, and they can also trade cards with other groups since not everyone wrote the same things. Be aware: this game gets really loud! It is awesome to hear your students shouting in Spanish. You can walk around and monitor that they are saying the correct thing. If you want writing practice, you could have them each have a piece of paper out and still flip the cards, but the first one to use the information to write a complete, valid sentence gets the point. I hope this makes sense. They should be pretty familiar with what requires the subjunctive before they play so they aren't reinforcing wrong ideas. This game works great with pret vs. imperfect, or ser vs. estar... anything that is determined by content! Fulcher, M. Good game for teaching subjunctive (and other tenses).

I'll either put pictures or the English word on the card, and the first person to say it in Spanish gets the card. Melissa's right - it gets loud, but it's SO much fun! Walker, A.
