Review Stations
In the weeks leading up to our assessments, I created 10 different learning/review
stations for students.
Each activity was laminated and stored in a small plastic bin. Desks were moved into
10 different tables. On the top of each station I had the plastic bin with a BRIGHT
card on top. This card had: Station number, Topic for the station, and Directions
for each station. All activities had answer sheets. All games with cards had
numbered cards to correspond with answer sheet.
As students entered the classroom, they formed groups of 2 or 3.
I spent a significant amount of time explaining how each station worked and also
helping students set up their self-assessment sheets.
As students went through stations, they were instructed to self-assess how they felt
they did on that station. This was to help students focus on topics they needed to
review most for the exam. Students rated themselves from 1-10 (needs
improvement-I know this!) 
Some of the stations required writing, and students did all writing activities on their
self-assessment sheets.
Students had about 13 minutes (give or take) at each station. It took us about 3 class
periods to get through the introduction, stations, and wrap-up.
How did it go?
This was a really cool experience for me as a teacher.
Students were all actively engaged and reviewing
and having fun! I loved watching them experience
all of the different activities. I can’t wait to make
more stations!
The favorites?
Irregular verbs game, the Keep-a-card/Take-a-Card
game, Pick-an-answer and the big scattersquares!
Station 1—Pick-an-Answer 7th and 8th: Classes and schedule
Three possible answers. Students put the golf tee in the hole of the
answer they think is correct. They pull up the card. If it comes out, the
answer is correct. (Correct answer has bottom of hole cut out)
Station 2—Worksheet Station
7th grade—Regular verbs
8th grade—Ir, Ir + a + place, Ir + a + infinitive
Laminated worksheets with answer sheets. Students check answers
before moving on to the following station.
Station 3—Matching Cards 7th and 8th: Regular verb meanings
Students have sentences with a missing verb. They have to match the
verb to the sentence. In order to self-check, you can see the back of the
cards at the top of the picture. Students know answer are correct when
the stick on the back matches up.
Station 4—Pictures and Prepositions
7th grade (shown) Classroom picture
8th grade Community picture
Students pick an item card (or a place in the community for 8th grade)
and a preposition card. They are to form a sentence using that item (or
place) and the preposition. Once students take turns sharing sentences,
students had to write 3 sentences of their own based on the picture.
Station 5—Board Game
7th grade Greetings and common expressions and questions
8th grade Clothing/Store
Played like a regular board game. Laminated bright paper has the
answer key and game directions.
Station 6—Manipulatives and Worksheets
7th grade: Subject pronouns (Create the subject pronouns chart and
match the English meanings to the Spanish pronouns)
8th grade: Comparative and Superlative formulas
(put formulas in order)
I didn’t get a picture of this for some reason.  After students
completed the manipulative exercises, they completed a worksheet and
then checked their answers.
Station 7—Matching
7th and 8th: Food
Students had to match the word to the correct sentence. Students selfcheck answers to make sure that the sticker on the back matches up.
Station 8—Board Game
7th and 8th: Irregular verbs (two different games)
Students conjugate verbs (regulars and irregulars). I took this from an
old worksheet I had titled “La rana Lucas” and changed the verbs to fit
my needs. (Bright green sheet had answer key and directions)
Station 9—Keep-a-card/Take-a-card 
7th grade: Classroom items and Definite and Indefinite Articles
8th grade: Question words/Expressions
This is a game I made up. Students have a stack of 50 cards. They pick
two cards at a time and put them face down. They turn them face up
one at a time. If they answer correctly, they keep the card. If they
answer incorrectly, student passes that card (and any other card that is
still face down) to the team player to his/her right.
Station 10—Extreme Scattersquares
7th grade: Ser + adjectives
8th grade: Bedroom/House/Chores
I took the regular scattersquares idea and made it extreme! I bought
two big blank calendars from Learning How and made a puzzle out of it.
Puzzle was 6 x 7. The best part was actually having space to do more
than just vocabulary words.
