Instead of completing a traditional conjugation chart, students solve each verb-pronoun combination, find the matching conjugated verb, and draw the corresponding puzzle piece in the correct square. As they work through the activity, the individual pieces come together to reveal the complete image.

What's Included?

• A 5 × 5 conjugation grid featuring five essential Spanish verbs

• 25 verb-pronoun combinations to practice

• Matching puzzle pieces with conjugated verbs

• A Día de los Muertos skull image revealed upon completion

• A printable PDF worksheet

Student Instructions

• Look at the 5 × 5 grid. Each column represents a verb, and each row represents a subject pronoun.

• Choose a square and identify the verb at the top of its column and the subject pronoun beside its row.

• Conjugate the verb in the present tense to match the subject pronoun.

• Find the puzzle piece on the left that displays the correct conjugation.

• Draw that puzzle piece in the corresponding square of the grid, matching its design as accurately as possible.

• Repeat the process for all 25 squares until the complete Día de los Muertos skull image is revealed!
