TitleActivity to Practice Por and Para in Spanish
Body
An FLTEACH user recently asked for ideas to practice the use of por and para in Spanish. Here is one described activity:

I wrote 15 sentences trying to cover all the different uses of the two, then wrote them out in large print on long strips of paper. Then I cut them in half, just before the por/para. I randomly distributed them to the class, and instructed them to find their "match." You have to be very careful when writing your sentences so that they can't have more than one match. Once they found their match they stood with them and all formed a large circle around the room. We went through each pair, and they had to read their sentence and explain why they thought it was correct, based on the por/para. Many find that they are incorrectly matched of course once we go through, but it's nice how they figure it out on their own once they see the sentences together.
