How to Play Conjugation Relay

• Every row is a team!

• The first person of the row is the team
leader! (Switch places if needed)
• Every person in each team must have a
different colored writing utensil. There
can’t be two pencils, two black pens, etc.
• I would avoid highlighters/big markers as
those are difficult to read.
• If I can’t read the answers – no points!
 How to Play Conjugation Relay
• I will call out a verb.
• Every person in the row will write the
correct conjugation of that verb in the
PRESENT TENSE.

• For example…
 Hablar – to talk/speak
hablo hablamos
hablas habláis
habla hablan
• Notice how all forms are in different
colors! Accent marks count!
 How to Play Conjugation Relay
• Otherwise, if there is more than one
color, I know that one person wrote
more than one form [cheating]!
• You can help your team, but you must
remain seated the entire round!
• If anyone in your team stands up during
a round, your team is disqualified for
that round.
 How to Play Conjugation Relay
• Each round, the paper will be passed [not
thrown] to the front of the row and the
team leader will hold it up for me to check
the answers.
• I will check to see if it is correct. Spelling
and accent marks count!
• If all answers are correct, that team will
earn a point.
• If not, I will hand the paper back to them.
 How to Play Conjugation Relay
• I can NOT tell you what is wrong with your
team’s answers.
• Use your team to help you (remain seated!)
• My helper (chosen randomly) will help me
see which team was next in line for me to
check and will help me keep score.
• For the 1st round, we will start with the
“yo” form at desk 1.
How to Play Conjugation Relay
• For the 2nd round, we will start with the
“tú” form at desk 2.
• For the 3rd round, we will start with the
“él, ella, usted” form at desk 3. etc.
• This way, everyone is getting practice with
ALL forms of the verb, not just the yo
form, etc.
 How to Play Conjugation Relay
• Remember to focus on YOUR TEAM. If
anyone from your team deters anyone on
another team (grabs their arm, paper,
etc), your team will be disqualified for
that round!
• Finally, remember to keep the answer
sheet paper on YOUR DESK when it’s your
turn to write an answer.
