This PowerPoint Jeopardy game contains 25 different regular and irregular verbs for students to conjugate in the present tense. The 5 categories are the subject pronouns yo, tú, él/ella/Ud., nosotros, and ellos/ellas/Uds. Students click a number under one of the categories and an infinitive will appear. The next click displays the correct conjugation, the point value, and a house that can be clicked to return to the game board. The previously clicked questions are highlighted to show students that they have already been used. There are 2 randomly placed "Sorpresa" slides that double the points of the next conjugation, if answered correctly. This is a no prep activity that can be modified to suit your purposes in your classroom.
Also included are 2 slides that can be printed and given to students to complete while they are in the audience. Each contains a shell of the game board with the subject pronoun categories at the top and the point value in each cell. As participants choose their questions, the students in the audience can write the infinitive and the corresponding conjugation.
The verbs contained are a mix of regular and irregular verbs, including "go" verbs and stem change verbs. Examples are ir, ser, poner, conocer, pedir, servir, dormir, and jugar.
This is great review activity for back to school, the end of the year, or anytime in between!
