November 26-27, Monday & Tuesday. Ecce Romani Chapter 8. Exercise 8c, page 56. Guided instruction.



Ludus cum pila: Game with a ball.

I will show you the English meaning of a conjugated first conjugation verb (-are verbs). I will begin by throwing a ball to one of you. If you answer the question correctly, then you throw the ball to another person, who has to say the Latin for the next form of the verb shown.  We keep doing this. If someone misses the answer, then they go to prison (carcer) at the back of the class. If a prisoner raises his or her hand, whoever has the ball has to throw it to him/her (one of the prisoners - captivus/captiva). If the captivus/captiva answers correctly s/he gets to return to her/his seat and take the next throw.  Prisoners! pay close attention to the game because it will teach/remind you how to answer correctly.
