Allow students to cooperate and solve problems. It is a language-learning activity to help students learn verb conjugation in Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian, English etc. This activity can be adapted to teach discipline-specific content. For example, it can be used in social sciences by putting a picture on one side and a name or a definition on the other side. It can also be used in mathematics, where the result is on the side and the mathematical problem on the other side.
Learning verb conjugation through play, new vocabulary, and for sharing knowledge.
For face-to-face teaching, the teacher needs to make tables with words in Microsoft word and cut them. For online teaching, cards can be made using a collaborative whiteboard platform such as miro.com.
It could take 20 minutes of preparation from the teacher and takes approximately 10 minutes to play.
This activity can also be applied in other disciplines. For example, it can be used in social sciences by putting a picture on one side and a name or a definition on the other side. It can also be used in mathematics, where the result is on the side and the mathematical problem on the other side.
