Do you want to teach VERBS and GRAMMAR in a unique, fun and effective way? Do you like to play games? Then come and participate in this dynamic workshop and make learning VERBS and GRAMMAR one of the most exciting events of your class by using the VERBATHON® kit! Motivate, inspire and challenge your students with sports-style events! Integrate math, social studies, even rap and rock music. Learn how to organize a tournament for your class, school, district and even participate in a national tournament! Experience shows that students learn and retain more through active play. Verbathon games and activities are effective because they are based on the INFINITE principle: Inclusive, Fun, Interactive, Integrative, Team-based and Empowering. Verbathon can be used by teachers from elementary through university for both Immersion and FSL. Originally developed in French, versions of Verbathon are also in Spanish and German. Emmanuel Escueta, creator of Verbathon, is a retired French Immersion and he is a recipient of the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Teaching.
