Vosotros __________ (erguir) la cabeza ante la ignominia Game Instructions You will need a pair of dice for this game. This game is played in pairs. Student A gets Worksheet A and Student B gets Worksheet B. The worksheets are on page 4. Student B casts the dice and adds the numbers rolled. Student A points the box with the verb and personal pronoun on his/her own worksheet that corresponds to that number. Student B says the conjugation for that pronoun and verb. If Student B is correct, then he/she crosses out that verb and pronoun on Student A’s worksheet. For Example, if Student B rolls a 4, then Student A points to verb and pronoun in the box that corresponds with number 4 on Worksheet A which is: extinguir nosotros. If Student B says nosotros extinguimos, he/she crosses out box 4 (extinguir nosotros) on Student A’s worksheet. Now, Student A casts the dice and adds the numbers rolled. Student B points the box with the verb and personal pronoun on his/her own worksheet that corresponds to that number. If Student A is correct, then he/she crosses out that verb and pronoun on Student B’s worksheet. For Example, if Student A rolls a 7, then Student B points to verb and pronoun in the box that corresponds with number 7 on Worksheet B which is: perseguir yo. If Student A says yo persigo, he/she crosses out box 7 (persiguir yo) on Student B’s worksheet. If a student does not conjugate a verb correctly, the verb remains active and does not get crossed out. This verb can be conjugated again depending on the roll of the dice. This gives the student an opportunity for self-correction the next time he/she rolls the number of the box with that verb. The first student to cross out all of the opponents questions wins the game. The worksheets are on page 4.
