Reflexive Verb Worksheet
Objectives:
The student will:
1. Demonstrate the ability to conjugate present tense reflexive verbs
2. Produce a sequenced timeline of their daily routines for use in a future assignment
Opening Activities:
1) My Daily Routine: Students will start the class by making a sequence map of their daily routine starting with
waking up. This should be done with a flow chart. In the top box the information should be in English.
Underneath each box there should be a secondary box with words they would need in Spanish to write the routine
as a complete sentence. If they can do it as a complete sentence that is great, but not required as this is more of a
brain storming activity (Pre-Practice) Students will see the following example on the board when they arrive in
class. Students may also use synonyms.
My Daily Routine
Wake Up
Despertarse, Levantarse,
Cama, Mañana,
Temprano, Abrirse los

Warm-up. Students will start immediately upon entering the classroom.
They will produce a sequence (Flow) chart, following the example on the
board. This is a good thinking activity, particularly for vocabulary recall.
Students may even want to note in their notebooks the words they wanted
but don’t know of the top of their heads. THIS WILL BE USED LATER
TO DO A MOCK JOURNAL ENTRY IN CLASS!! STUDENTS NEED
TO KEEP IT.
20 minutes
Listening Activity
10 minutes
Students will watch a Jack in the Box commercial. They will respond to
the questions on the sheet given them. They will see the commercial 4
times. We will then correct it as a class
Direct Instruction
Students should have their Present Tense notes page which they received
Tuesday. They will add on to these notes today giving examples of
present tense reflexive verbs.
1) What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say “reflexive
verb”?
Some answers may include reflect, mirror, done to self etc.
2) Explain that anytime an action is done and can be followed by the
following in English it is reflexive; Myself, Yourself, Himself,
Herself, Ourselves, Themselves
3) Using a reflective verb is like looking into a mirror. Visualize a
girl combing her hair: Where does she stand? In front of a mirror.
Why? So she can see the action she is doing to herself.
4) Explain that reflexive verbs REQUIRE a reflexive pronoun and
that this pronoun is going to come BEFORE the conjugate verb.
Write the Reflexive Pronouns on the board:
REFLEXIVE PROUNS
ME
NOS
TE
OS
SE
SE
5) Explain to the students that all reflexive verbs can also be used
non-reflexively. Can you bath someone else? Can you shave
someone else? Of course although it might not be a lot of fun.
When we are talking about bathing ourselves then it is reflexive.
Think of it this way. I bathe myself. Start by conjugating to bathe
to the subject pronoun. Who is performing the bathing? I am. So
what is the verb to bathe. BAÑAR, So conjugate it to yo; YO
BAÑO. Now if I wanted to bathe mi son, then it would be YO
15 Minutes
BAÑO A MI HIJO. However, If I was going to Bathe myself now
it is reflexive. Now I go back to the reflexive pronoun chart and
use the pronoun from the SAME box as the verb I conjugated.
Thus I say YO ME BAÑO
ASSESMENT
