3. Juego: Serpiente
Get into a group of 3 to 4. Send one person up for a game board, answer sheet game pieces and a die. 
Each person needs to choose a different colored game piece. Flip the answer sheet upside down for now.
Each person rolls the die to see who gets the highest number. The person with the highest number will go first, then in that order clockwise.
The first player rolls the die and moves their game piece that number of spaces. They must read the sentence on that space and translate the sentence from English to Spanish. Another player must flip the answer sheet over to check their opponent's response. If they get it right, they stay where they are and the next player goes. If they get it wrong, they must go back to where they came from and the next student rolls.
There are a few "special spaces" throughout the board with a translation of what needs to be done on the answer key. If you land on those spaces, you must do what the space says, but do not need to answer a question.
The winner will be whoever gets the furthest on the board before the time is up.
