Description
The Verb Compass is a game for third-grade elementary school students that focuses on learning the root and endings of the verbs aimer, finir, aller, avoir, être, and other similar verbs. Players must correctly conjugate the verbs in the required persons and tenses to help Florentin and his friends complete a rally across the Sahara Desert.
The game includes 144 reproducible journey cards, each containing 5 verbs to be conjugated in different persons. The conjugation tense (present indicative, imperfect, simple future, or present conditional) is determined by the conjugation tense compass (a wheel whose arrow is turned). Two types of journey cards are available:
On the A path cards, players must write the root and ending of the model verbs aimer, finir, aller, avoir and être according to the person and tense indicated (e.g., je ______ [finir], nous _______ [aimer]).
On the B journey cards, players must write the endings of the verbs that follow these patterns according to the person and tense indicated (e.g., j'écout__, vous chant__, ils foncière__).
The game can be played in subgroups of 2, 4, or 8 players, in teams of 2, or in a large group. Before each round, a timer (not included) is set to the desired duration (e.g., 1 minute). Each player must complete the same journey card by conjugating the five verbs before the timer runs out.
