The following graphic organizers are a great way to help students understand the subject pronouns and verb conjugation.

The Hand Graphic Organizer
1. Have students trace their right hand (or their left hand palm up). The idea is make sure the thumb is on the left.

2. Write in the subject pronouns at the top of each finger, where the fingernail would be. 3 of the subject pronouns relate perfectly with the imagery of the hand. Start with the thumb. The thumb stands for “Yo” because you can use your thumb to point back at yourself. The index finger is “Tú” because you can use your index finger to point to someone that you are talking to. And lastly, the ring finger stands for “Nosotros” because when you wear a ring, it symbolizes your relationship with someone else, “me and someone” equals “we”. Go ahead and add “él, ella, usted” to the middle finger (nothing to note on this one!!) and “ellos, ellas, ustedes” on the pinky. Someone students have come up with you make a “pinky promise” with “other people”.

3. Have the students think of a verb. If you are studying -ar verbs, then they would choose an -ar verb. Have them write this at the bottom of the palm and to draw a quick sketch in the middle of the palm.

4. Write the forms of the verb in each finger according to the subject. You can do this activity with any tense you are studying. The end result:
5. Finally, cut it out. You can hang these up in your classroom or have the students use them as study tools.

Make a bulletin board of these…

Flat Notecard Chart
1. Take a notecard, draw a line down the middle and two lines across to make six boxes.
2. Write in the verb forms according to the subject pronoun that is associated with that space. If you are teaching subject pronouns you can also make an organizer for that as well. The singular subjects are on the left hand side and the plural subjects on the right side.

Flip Chart Notecard
1. Take an index card, fold it in half vertically (hot-dog style).
2. Cut 4 slits from the edge to the fold.
3. On the outside of the flap, write in the subject pronouns on the 5 flaps.

4. On the inside, underneath the flap or on the back, write the verb forms.
5. You can also write the English definitions on the inside as well.
