Teacher creates 8-10 stations with index cards that have vocabulary words, phrases, gods, etc. Students pair up and take turns being the student or teacher. The “teacher” quizzes his/her student with the cards at the station offering clues or derivatives until the “student” gets the right answer. Each pair is allotted 2-3 minutes per station. Then they switch roles. “Hot potato”. Separate students into two groups and direct them to stand in a circle. Each group gets one soft ball (foam is best). One or two trusted students will need to be assistants. The teacher or assistant will say an infinitive verb (ex. Amare) then pass the “potato” to a random student. The first student must conjugate the verb into the 1st person, singular. Then pass the potato to another student who conjugates the verb into the 2nd person, singular. This continues until the verb is completed. However, if a student conjugates incorrectly on their turn, they are “out” and sit down. The standing students keep playing with the assistant calling out random infinitive verbs until only one student is left standing. “Word Wars”. Class is split into two teams. The goal of this activity is to increase pronunciation ability and confidence. The teacher chooses a random exercise or chapter to use and assigns one student from each team a sentence. The students from each team can practice their pronunciation for a few minutes, then students take turns reading their sentence aloud. The teacher keeps score secretly by noting which team had the best pronunciations. Once all students have read aloud, the teacher announces the winning team but does not reveal which individual students won/lost. “Memoria (Memory)”. Traditional children's game, where cards are laid face down in a grid pattern. Students take turns flipping over two cards attempting to match the Latin to its translation. “Navis Longa (Battleship)” review game.

The space number they land on is the same as the question number they receive. (i.e. if the student lands on space #8, the “teacher” asks him question #8). If the answer is correct, the student remains on that space. If the answer is incorrect, the student returns to the space he was on previously. The goal is that if students pay attention to each other, they might have already heard the answer when they land on a space. This is good as a review at the end of a chapter or unit.

Teacher creates 8-10 stations with index cards that have vocabulary words, phrases, gods, etc. Students pair up and take turns being the student or teacher. The “teacher” quizzes his/her student with the cards at the station offering clues or derivatives until the “student” gets the right answer. Each pair is allotted 2-3 minutes per station. Then they switch roles. “Write your own myth Project”: students must write an original myth that explains something in nature using the gods of their choosing. God Gallery: the teacher puts posters/pictures of the main gods of the Pantheon around the room with descriptions of each god. The students travel around the room with partners or individually taking notes about each god. Clothing Skit: students work in groups of 2-4 to write and act out a skit in Roman styled clothing. The members of each group are to represent different levels of society through their clothing. Each person should have at least three different pieces of clothing on with a total of eight pieces of Roman clothing represented during the skit. Watch the movie “Spartacus”. If focuses on slavery during the late Republic of Rome. Slavery presentation: Students are to individually research the Servile Wars of Italy or can compare and contrast slavery of Rome and slavery of the Americas. They must present their findings via a PowerPoint to the class. The class is expected to take notes and every student must ask a question at the conclusion of the PowerPoint. The question can be aimed at the presenter or can be a “challenge” question. The challenge question is aimed at a student in the audience. This causes students to be super attentive during the presentation as they want to be ready if they get “challenged”. King Collage: Students are to individually research one of the Seven Kings of Rome and make a collage with pictures, poems, and blurbs and present it to the class. Hercules presentations: Students are tasked with teaching each other the full story of Hercules. Students may work with a partner during this project. Each pair is to choose a different aspect of the story of Hercules (i.e. childhood, family, labors) and make a visually interesting presentation to show the class. The class is expected to take notes and ask questions of the presenters.
