Learn and practice the subject pronouns in Spanish (English Version)

Objectives ● By the end of this lesson, the students will have reviewed and used, written and orally, the subject

pronouns in singular and plural and how to conjugate them with regular verbs and ser an estar. Activity Summary Through an illustrated presentation, the students will learn the subject pronouns. Then, they will play two games to review and remember them. Finally, they will practice them orally by creating a series of sentences. Time Allocation One or two 40-50 minutes period Procedure - Activity 1 - Introduction – Subject pronouns presentation

a. The teacher hands out the Handout 1 for the students to take notes. Then, he/she will project and discuss the presentation Subject Pronouns in Spanish so the students familiarize themselves with all the subject pronouns. Through the presentation, the students will be completing the subject pronouns table on the Handout 1 part 1.

b. After the presentation, the students (individually or in pairs) will answer the questions on the

Handout 1 part 2. Students are meant to deduct by themselves the answers, as they are very easy once they have reviewed the presentation. Then, answers are compared with the rest of the class.

- Activity 2 – Memory game

a. Memory Game 1: Match the pronoun with the illustration. Divide the class in pairs of students. Each group receives a copy of the Handout 2 that includes the cards to play the memory game. (It is recommended to print it in cardstock.) Each group should cut the 24 cards (12 cards with the pronouns and 12 cards with the illustrations) and shuffle both sets together. Once they are shuffled, the 24 cars are placed face down in a 6 x 4 grid. To play, the students take turns to reveal 2 cards. The pronoun card should match its illustration. If they find a match, the student should say a simple sentence like, for example: Yo como en mi casa, Tú hablas español, Ella vive en Estados Unidos, Nosotros estamos en clase, Vosotros tenéis un coche, Ellos van al cine. Once the student says the sentence, he/she takes both cards. If the cards don’t match, they place it back face down and the other student gets to play. The student with the most cards is the winner.

b. Memory Game 2: Match the pronoun with the correct verb. The teacher regroups the class in new pairs of students to play a second version of the memory game. The students will use the same 12 pronouns cards again and will cut a new set of 12 cards now with conjugated verbs.


To play, they shuffle the 24 cards and place them face down on the table. The students take turns to find a correct match of pronoun and verb (there are verbs that match with more than one pronoun). Once they find a match, they say a simple sentence using that pronoun and verb.

- Activity 3 – Personal pronouns oral practice

a. Divide the class in groups of 4 students and have them sitting down like this:

Each student gets a card from the Handout 3 with the rules that they must follow to talk to the students of the table. Each student takes turns to complete 6 sentences following the rules on their cards. When they say the pronoun, they should point out the classmate they are referring to in the sentence. Before they begin, they have 5 minutes to look for the verbs that they don’t know in a dictionary or mobile device.

Suggested evaluation method It is advisable to have a rubric to assess speaking activities in which it should be clear to students how to move from one level to the next. A rubric indicating how a student is Meeting, Exceeding or not Meeting Expectations is the most useful. The suggested “Speaking Production Rubric” can be used (Handout 4). Materials Handouts: On the following pages, you will find the following ready-to-print handouts:
