How to play 'Learning to be a gerund' with the children
To play we will need:
- Two drawers, bags or containers to put the cards of the verbs and pronouns.
- Cardboards with adhesive to make the cards
- Colored markers
- Three couriers (can be on a blackboard)
1. We will start by making different cards on which we will write actions, in present, past and future tense, of the three conjugations. Behind each word will appear the verb that is conjugated and the conjugation to which it belongs. We will introduce these cards in a drawer or container that we will call VERBOS.
In such a way that if they choose the card with the word 'you play', behind it will appear, Infinitive 'play' of the first conjugation.
2. On the other hand we will make another box that we will call PRONOMBRES in which there will be two sections: MALE AND FEMALE.
We will make some new cards in which we will write the personal pronouns and introduce them in this box (each pronoun in its section and the common pronouns in both)
3. Then we will make three signs PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE that we will place as header of the three couriers.
4. We can make some special sections in which the Particles and Gerunds colo will be placed, in which case they will go directly to their corresponding place. 5. If the card is chosen by a girl, she must choose between the pronouns of the feminine section, (she, us, you and them). If it is a child, you must choose between the pronouns of the masculine section (he, we, you and them). In both sections you will also find the common pronouns, me and you.
6.
The first child will choose a card from the drawer verbs, then he will have to choose another from the drawer pronouns and check that he agrees in gender and number with his. Then you must paste them on the courier of present, past or future as appropriate. For example:
- The child will read his card aloud "I will play" and turning the card will say: "Infinitive" PLAY ", of the first conjugation". Next it will go to the box of the pronouns. If you choose, you will have to return it and take a new one, until the correct pronoun for your card that would be ME. Once the pronoun and the verb agree, the child will paste it on the corchera of the future that would be correct.
- If the "Play" card comes out, if it is a girl, she will choose the pronoun she, if she is a child she should choose the pronoun he.
In such a way that they will learn that "I will play", it is of the verb to play, its infinitive is to play, it is of the first conjugation and it is future. It is possible to finish conjugating the corresponding verb among all.
I will play,
You will play,
He (she) will play,
We (we) will play,
You (you) will play,
They (them) will play.
7.
It is recommended to start with simple verbs . Depending on the age and level of learning of the children, the difficulty of the game can be increased. To make it more fun, the little ones can make mimes and represent the chosen verb, jumping, eating, drinking, driving, etc.
