Now let’s take a look at a great worksheet on -ar verbs you can use with your students!
Present Tense of AR Verbs Worksheet
Let’s get to the conjugation practice! This Spanish ar verbs worksheet set includes 2 different mazes for these present tense regular verbs.
Included pages:
- 4 Maze Puzzle Pages
- Answer Key
- Digital versions of the mazes for use with Google Slides
- Student instructions for how to complete the maze
- Teacher instructions for how to assign via Google Classroom
This is a great resource to review present tense ar verbs. There’s a short tutorial for students on how to complete the maze, and you can choose if you want them to just find the correct answer to find the way through the maze or use the extended version to get plenty of repetition with the Spanish uses of selected -ar verb conjugations with the fill in the blank style sentences.
If you would like, you can give your students a quick review verb chart with a conjugation table on one side, and copy a maze on the other side of the sheet, double sided. This way, you can use a more traditional conjugation review before getting into the puzzle, and save the second maze worksheet for stations or a warm up one day!
With the review chart, you can give them a bank of verb options to choose from, or fill in the infinitives yourself before making copies for your students. Students will write in the correct ending for each of the verb forms in the charts. The subject forms are filled in in each of the charts, but if you would like to exclude the vosotros forms you can just pop an X in that box or tell students to skip it.

How to Play:
To use this game in your lessons, either print and make copies, or assign the digital version on Google Slides for students to complete. Pick version A or version B for each of the two mazes included. Both versions give students instant feedback through built in incorrect paths. Students will choose the correct answers through the maze, answering a question, choosing a path with the correct conjugation, and completing the following question until they reach the end. The question set up is very similar to fill in the blank sentences, with options to choose from as your Spanish learners are studying how to conjugate -ar verbs.
In the extended version, students go back to each box they did not use to solve the maze and write in the correct answers. This can give students a tough time at first if they miss the line in the instructions that reminds them not to use the options on the paths around the box for step 2! Those paths use a different subject, incorrect conjugations, or have other things happening to make them wrong!
Students need to go back through the boxes and write in the correct answer and give a short explanation. This can be as simple as underlining the subject pronoun, filling in different verbs, or changing an ending. Even those regular Spanish verbs can be tricky at first!
