Description
Get your students thinking and talking about the language collaboratively! This activity is great for teamwork and thinking about word order in your Spanish classroom! Groups or partners work together to reassemble the scrambled sentence while working on the targeted structures. There are ten sentences included, focusing on use of the preterite and the imperfect. For this activity, you could also challenge your students. There are two versions of each verb for all of the sentences. Supply students with both verbs and they will need to order the verbs as well as choose the appropriate verb!

Phenomenal tool to help kids wrestle with preterit and imperfect

I used this when tutoring an 8th grade Spanish II student who has just started to learn the imperfect. I first had the student read the English translation and decide if the sentence would be in the preterite or imperfect. Then I had him unscramble the sentence. A nice, hands-on activity.

I love using scrambled sentences, since it is very kinethstetic. I have students do them in groups and have them work together in pairs. I was only doing the preterite, so I just used the preterite flashcards. I had purchased a blank set previously, so I made some sentences of my own based on a movie we had seen in class.

Scrambled sentences gets my students out of their seats for the movement they need, and keeps them learning in a collaborative way.
