The English Department held the second session of the Verb Contest. In this opportunity, 7th grade students demonstrate their command of verbs and their corresponding verb tenses in the English language.
This edition of the contest introduced an innovative format combining both team and individual competition. The group stage featured two gamified activities: the Pictionary Challenge, in which one representative from each team had to draw an action so their teammates could guess the corresponding verb, and an interactive Kahoot, in which teams answered 30 questions on verb conjugation.
Following this, each team selected a representative to advance to the individual phase. After a single elimination round, the five finalists competed in the last stage.

This initiative strengthens key aspects of our school’s educational identity in our students: cognitive development and academic excellence in the learning of a second language; soft skills such as teamwork, mutual respect, and the ability to perform under pressure; and technological integration through the use of digital tools as part of an active and meaningful learning experience.
